      April is a great time of year to play in Melbourne - less windy than other months and still reasonably warm. Enjoy!

      Golf in Melbourne is fantastic. The Pick of the courses are Royal Melbourne, Victoria, Kingston Heath, Metropolitan, Penninsula, The National, Yarra Yarra, Barwon Heads, and St Andrews Beach. There are many other fantastic courses also -the staff and members at Commonwealth Golf club are delightful.

    Great job, Under the Card team. Absolutely stunning.
    I need some advice; what's the play on 10? I've only every walked the course before but will play it eventually. Do players realistically try and take it over that bunker to the green off the tee? It looks problematic if you are either short or long and you go for it! I reckon it's 3-wood to the corner.
    What a golf hole! Risk/reward at its finest.

      Thanks Graeme. In calm conditions, most tour pros can reach the green with 3-wood. As a scratch golfer, I normally try to hit either a driver or 3-wood at the gully short of the green, and if I pull it slightly, sometimes it goes on the green. If you’re laying up, the target is wider up on the higher flat section of fairway and the approach is easier. If you lay back in the lower part of the fairway, you have to play a blind approach across the corner bunker and the angle isn’t good because there’s a knob on the front left of the green which bounces balls to the right. Not sure if the video does the corner fairway bunker justice but it is to be avoided at all costs! Also, beyond the green is to be avoided at all costs!

      Cypress Point = golf heaven. Royal Melbourne’s composite course (12 holes on the West Course & 6 holes on the East Course) is not far behind it though!
