Victoria Golf Club (9)

The final SGA Tour Victoria event for 2015 had us travelling to Cheltenham in the Melbourne sandbelt for the Tour Championship at the fantastic Victoria Golf Club.

Ranked at number 9 in the 2012 Top 100 courses, it is always a privilege to play this course and an event eagerly awaited each year.

After some warm weather earlier in the week, a pleasant 24 degrees had the makings of a great day at the office.

Par 4 First hole

 We had a shotgun start off the par 4 second hole, and with a lost ball on my opening drive, the day did not start in a promising manner, and it did little to improve with too many double bogies to make a score.

Par 4 12th hole

The winds picked up during the day to be stronger than forecast which made some of the holes into the breeze more of  a challenge.

Short par 4 15th hole

Victoria demands precise and strategic thought with all shots to navigate around and avoid bunkers.  Ended the day with 27 points, when if you played to your handicap you had a good day.  DCR was 76.
