    I can imagine it is sensational. Just bloody punishing. Golf has to be enjoyable too.

    Next time I'll leave driver, maybe just take a short hybrid. Actually, I would probably score better with 6-PW! It's a course you have to know inside out.

    I'll be playing the Springs in early July. I've heard they have improved things in the last year (clubhouse, hole numbering, etc.)

    From what I remember, the greens and fairways are usually fast. Couple of places the ball can run too much and find unexpected trouble. Rough was just cleared/uncleared scrub.

    Elevation changes, gives it a half star advantage over Lynwood.

    I'd be very happy to see Springs/Kooindah/Magenta/Newcastle as a four day event, having never played either of the four...

    What is it ppl don't like about Magenta?

    Played there?

    edit- just reread your post. It's more than tough. Might've just been because it was the first time.

    +1 I'd be down for this as I have played all of those except Kooindah and they are certainly varied enough to make it a great weekend.

    It's track that is essentially hard for no reason at all. When I played there when you miss the fairway it's a lost ball and you go back to the tee. There is no bailout areas or any sort of risk reward holes. I heard they have thinned out the bush a little but it's still quite punishing. We had around 36 players play 2 rounds there and no one shot their handicap.

    IMO Koonidah is a much better course and a fair test of golf.

    If you want to do a nsw champs, then just do it. That's the only way it will happen. Get 3 or 4 members to become a committee and nut it out. You won't be able to please everyone, you won't be able to find a weekend that works for everyone. But just do it.
