"Royal Melbourne, the course that changed golf in Australia." - Clayts – at Comrie, Scotland
Celebrations are now under way to commemorate Alister MacKenzie's visit to Australia exactly 100 years ago. This evening, a piper serenaded the 5th hole on Royal Melbourne's West course, the one hole he saw completed before he left.

Memories of the opening of @TheAddingtonGC's renovated par-3 7th earlier this year. @mikeclaytongolf's comments on its 95-yard long green and his response to being told that the front right bunker to a front right pin position was too tricky (with the member responsible's sand wedge and ball).
20 years ago, @mikeclaytongolf and his colleagues undertook a comprehensive renovation of RACV's course in Healesville, Victoria. Due to adjacent residential development works, we are on site making changes to three holes including this, the 18th.

Many thanks to @anthonyjdear and @LINKSMagazine for this reminder that great heathland golf exists outside of Britain.

Part two of our three episode deep dive into the life & times of Dr Alister MacKenzie is out now. Focussing on his famous 1926 tour of Australia - he worked at Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath, New South Wales & more. Australian Golf Passport ep107 wherever you get your podcasts.
The 11th at @YarraYarraGolf.
"Alex Russell's genius - one of Australia's finest short holes. If they built it now, it'd be criticised for having a green that's out of character and unplayable because you can't run it up. Time and delayed wisdom does wonders" - @mikeclaytongolf

About as likely to use the rake as a lot of members. @StAndrews_Beach
The new par-3 13th at Sorrento, Victoria, Australia - from the tee to the left of the 12th green and the alternate one further right. Plenty of variety.

The closest green to the sadly lost MacKenzie green at Sitwell Park.
❤️ Royal Dublin
The best rounds don't follow a calendar - October has its own kind of links magic.

And sorting the extraneous fairway bunkers + adding a few new ones will make it even more fun to play.
