Great link. I was drooling over just about every course I read about. Plenty of other 'top' lists there as well.

Rumour has it that they are looking for another Australian panelist after one stood down earlier this year.

If you are interested in applying, just drop a line to Joe Passov, although, you might have to remind him where Australia is.

Sweet! I was worried I was gonna have to learn what Marcel was on about when he complained about the 'pimples' behind the 9th green at Royal Adelaide. :-s

RM didn't drop 5 places, they just split RMW and RME for the first time. Previously they ranked the Composite course only

I'm embarassed that I've only played 1 on that list.
From what I hear Andrew, all rankers are wankers....no matter which publication.

It has been brought to my attention at my previous comments may have been insulting to the Australians on the panel. My comments were not aimed at any of the Australians on the panel, but were actually disparaging myself.

are they ranking the courses based on quality of website?

how else would Kauri Cliffs & Cape Kidnappers come in ahead of Paraparaumu Beach? PB isn't even on the list!
