G'day Mumfy - where in Melbourne do you play? Hey mate, haven’t played yet. My clubs are leaving South Africa this week but will take 4-6months to get here.But I am keen to get out so I’m trying to build up a new set. Pref Titleist. I’m in Docklands.

From Docklands almost everywhere is a bit of a hike except Albert Park or Royal Park.

Are you looking to join somewhere or just go green fees? Melbourne has a lot of really good pay to play courses, but they are mostly on either the Mornington or Bellarine Peninsula, but Sandringham is the one I would recommend to start out.

Welcome, Mumfy. You've moved to the city with the best collection of Australian golf courses.

Bruce, I saw last weekend during the women's novelty event that they are calling it Sandy Links now.

If that's the case, I've shot under par at yet another links course.

Curses.

It has had extensive renovations done in the last couple of years so the course record had been reset.

Just going green fees at the moment. Thanks for the recommendations. Now just to get some clubs.
