Tom -- and that's the scope they have briefed to the members as well, it's just a lot of us hope it's like a home renovation where you plan to simply freshen up the paint and hang some new curtains and then once you get started you end up pulling up the carpet, polishing the floorboards, replacing the modern aluminium windows with some period-appropriate timber ones. And I can't think of a home renovation analogy for eliminating all the couch rough, but that too!
Re: Apperly, In a reasonably untouched state, Apperly's best course other than Newcastle may be Duntryleague, which is three hours west of Sydney in the town of Orange.
I reckon Newcastle is in a pretty good place right now -- some tree removal and effort on sandy areas off piste have paid dividends. The six new Harrison/Champion holes will shake the place up when they come and I remain undecided how I feel about the change.
