Sydney’s seaside courses are vastly underated, maybe the only thing stopping it at NSW is the infrastructure may not be good enough, but it has held the PGA & the ANZ. What would Peter Thomson think about that.

I hear they have been asked by GA to do a lot of work with their tees and stuff….they are no shoe-in for 2009. Who’s going to go all the way out there, when you have such gems like Royal Sydney and The Australian. NSW are up against it…besides St Micks are not willing to give up their holes for parking… no chance…2009..it will be Royal Sydney or back at The Aussie.
