Victoria Golf Club (9)

Another golfing year draws to a close and have been pleased to play more than the usual number of games this year.  The final game with SGA Victoria means a trip to the wonderful Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne's sandbelt.







With the temperature already at 35C before we teed off, it was going to be a long day.  Eventually the maximum reached 37C and a few cases of exhaustion ensued.







Started on the short par 4 first hole and benefited from a fairway that opens to the right, leaving a short wedge to the green and a par start.



Par 4 2nd hole


Managed to hit a second fairway and a reasonable start was underway.  Unfortunately the wheels fell off a little later, and finished with 14 points on the front nine.



Par 3 16th hole


Highlight of the round was making par on 3 of the par 3 holes around Victoria including the long 16th.
