I know this will take a bit of time to work out (it did for me) but it made me think of all of the holes I’d ever played and which were my favourites. List your eclectic golf course (i.e. hole one is your favourite 1st hole). The par of the course has to add to 72 and please include your favourite 19th hole!

After much deliberation, mine is (and I reserve the right to edit!):
1: National Ocean Par 5
2: St Andrews Beach Par 4
3: National Old Par 4
4: Royal Sydney GC Par 4
5: Royal Melbourne West Par 3
6: Royal Melbourne West Par 4
7: National Old Par 3
8: Royal Sydney GC Par 4
9: Kingston Heath Par 4
10: Royal Melbourne West Par 4
11: The Lakes GC Par 5
12: Kingston Heath GC Par 5
13: NSW GC Par 4
14: NSW GC Par 4
15: Kingston Heath Par 3
16: Royal Canberra GC Par 4
17: Barnbougle Dunes Par 4
18: Royal Sydney GC Par 4
19: Royal Sydney GC

Like the idea Yub… but damn… this is going to take some time to work out!

I know Smergs, have been thinking about it for a few days! There were a few that I had half a dozen to choose from.

OK, here goes – had 18 months living in Scotland so, without wanting to brag, will include some from there to make up for the fact that I haven’t managed to get on most of the sand belt except Woodlands and Yarra Yarra:
1 – St Andrews Old, par 4
2 – Narooma GC, par 4
3 – Woodlands GC, par 4
4 – Thirteenth Beach, Beach Course, par 5
5 – NSWGC, par 5
6 – NSWGC, par 3
7 – Thirteenth Beach, Beach Course, par 3
8 – Muirfield, par 4
9 – Turnberry GC, par 4
10 – Royal Canberra, Brindabella nine no 1, par 4
11 – The Lakes, par 5
12 – St Andrews Old, par 4
13 – Muirfield, par 3
14 – Gleneagles Kings Course, par 4
15 – Kingsbarns golf links, par 3
16 – NSW GC, par 4
17 – St Andrews Old, par 4
18 – Narooma GC, par 5
And just for fun, my favourite “spare” hole – 18a at NSWGC, a 100m par 3 to a violently tiered green with tea tree as far as the eye can see. Not too much to ask of your wedge once a round…

Gaps here because also haven’t been to Barnbougle yet – may have to revisit this list after I do…
