Do you want me to spoil it for you? You've all seen it on TV lately haven't you?
I can certainly do The Dunes but have not been to Portsea yet. I'm looking forward to seeing that one.

I dont think I want to read it...
Be very afraid boys.
In all seriousness, IMO RM West is THE course that rewards great shots and punishes bad. You can get away with mediocre, but not all day long and you won't score well.

Can you do up a course guide for where Hocko is best to throw his clubs if he was to make the journey?
Course Guide for the Union.
1st: It gets easier the further left you go with the drive.
2nd: Hug the left with your drive and second shot.
3rd: Take driver and go centre right.
4th: Stay left all the way down again.
5th: You can miss this green anywhere. Up and downs are easy here.
6th: Don't take on any of the bunkers. If the pin is on the left then going straight at it is a risk free plan.
7th: Pin on the right is the easiest. Fire straight at it.
8th: Go as far right as you dare with the drive.
9th: Left hand side leaves the easiest shot in.

Even if you miss - you get another chance. Lost balls are rare. But the difficulty of the next shot is almost linearly related to how badly you missed the previous shot.
If you take on something difficult and pull it off - then you will be duly rewarded.
Without being dismissive or rude, there are many golfers who wouldn't know the difference between a difficult shot and an easier one at RM - they have no idea what they are looking at and just fire in the direction of the flag on the end of the stick.

Its not easy to know where under the hole is the first time you see a course...
As Jerry said to me the other day, there are places you are dead when above the hole that didnt seem so bad from 150m away...

I'll be happy to hit a green In reg and walk away without a double.
Actually I will be happy to walk away from RM with my dignity.

Unless it rains a lot between now and then I think things are going to play the firmest and fastest you have ever seen.
I played over the road on Saturday and watched balls bounce 6 feet high after landing on the fairway. Balls landing on greens sounded like they were bouncing on a wooden table. Bring it on.
Also - if you can carry then that is the recommended action. RM are protective of their new fescue surrounds and so will probably have to push your buggy quite wide around the green instead of walking straight across with a bag on your back.
Carry it will be.
The way it should be.
It looks like we will have at least one more heat wave to bake the ground even more.
Those used to Queensland conditions may want to get their putting ready by practicing on a lino floor. Find a large concreted space to practice your short game.
RM could be horrifying baked with a hot North Westerly. 30 points could win easily - remember how we all struggled at Spring Valley in the north westerly!
