Southern Golf Club

Another trip out with the SGA Tour Victoria for my first visit to Southern Golf Club in the Melbourne sandbelt.
Clubhouse
Club from practice range

Today was a fun day of matchplay and supporting the two finalists in the SGA Tour Matchplay Championship.  Excellent facilities at Southern with a range, short game and nets.






Par 4 10th hole


Teeing off the 10th tee, we were evenly matched with my opponent only conceding 1 shot to me, taken on the 17th hole.

One of many water hazards awaits

Southern is not in the 2012 list of Golf Digest Top 100 Courses, that I am using to record my games but was in 2004 (89), 2006 (93), 2008 (82) and 2010 (96)

Fairways wide and in excellent condition

A course of two quite different nines with the front nine featuring quite a few water hazards and tree lined fairways the feature of the back.



Par 4 8th hole


A very close match with holes going up and down on our first nine, no halves, before a closer match on the second nine, having me one down coming down the last (9th hole).  My opponent sank a 40' putt to win the match, and conceded my 15' putt to finish 1 up.



Picked up a logo ball, which filled up the collection - now to start culling some of the 'corporate' logos.
