The golf course, personally designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, at The Australian Golf Club is a ‘BIG’ golf course, not unlike one of his other masterpieces at home at Muirfield Village in Ohio.
More on that and the experience of playing it two weeks ago and the first round of the Australian Open later on…
Here are some pics from the excitement of arriving at “The Oz,” I am feeling a bit like Dorothy in total wonder and amazement of being Down Under and at the second professional golf event of the Australian Trifecta of the Masters, the Open and the PGA Championship!
WOW, what an exciting Thanksgiving Day in Australia! (Facebook Link, Andy Reistetter, 11/27/14)
Happy Thanksgiving Up Yonder! Definitely missing being with friends and family! Gratitude is universal in our world but Thanksgiving is definitely American. Lucky to celebrate in a way for two days being Down Under. Tragic and sad story here in Sydney with the death of a 25-year old batsman professionally playing the national game of Australia. Puts life in perspective… thankful for and enjoying today… off to The Australian Golf Club for the second round of the Emirates Australian Open… Happy Turkey Day Up Yonder in America!

With the Divine Kathie Shearer, Australian Golf’s Ultimate Hostess in the Media Center!
With Australia’s youngest and brightest commentator, and a true sportsman, Luke Elvy. Only the second person (with Ian Baker Finch last week at the Masters) that I have met in Australia that I knew previously!
