Royal Sydney Golfclub in Sydney, Australia
 Royal Sydney Golfclub
PAR 72, 4 Rounds
Unlike most famous courses, there is no single architect such as Dr. Alister Mackenzie or Robert Trent Jones attributed to the design of Royal Sydney's Championship golf course. In reference books on architecture the designer's name is given, or simply listed as "unknown". Under St Andrews, the word "evolution" appears. Royal Sydney has also evolved. It developed, changed, adapted, accommodated in detail, but a concept remained. It has always been an "old-fashioned", traditional, heavily bunkered, tough test of golf, especially in any wind. There are no gimmicks, no tricks, chasms or watery caverns. The course was born out of a desire by the founding fathers to have "a seaside course" or "links course". Irving Kent and C.C. Bethune found an area in the Bondi sandhills between Old South Head Road and the ocean, and in 1893 a 9-hole course was laid out in the area bounded by Old South Head Road on the left and by what is now Glenayr Avenue (Sophia street) on the right, and between Curlewis Street and Warners Avenue.

It's definitively not the start that Nora expected, 83 today and no chance to tame this course
Nora Angehrn was pretty confident before she started to her second round, and she felt really good about her swing. Today she never had the chance to get into her rhythm. Again Nora did hit only 3 fairways out of 14. It's not that she missed it far, but from there it is tough to play an accurate shot into these very hard greens. Then an OB ball off the 10th tee, and Nora tried hard to maintain her rhythm, patience and confidence. Anyway, even though when other very good LET players struggled too on this course, for Nora an 83 (+11) are too many shots no doubt about it. Let's practice hard this weekend and prepare for the next week.
A disappointing 77 (+5) opening round for Nora Angehrn
It's tough to drive the Fairways out there and the Greens are very hard. Nora Angehrn had a bad start on her very first hole where she carded double bogey 6 on the Par 4. It was tough to drive the fairways and the fact that Nora only did hit 4 out of 14 Fairways says it all about this round of golf. "If you are not on the fairway, it's difficult to reach the green in regulation". Nevertheless, the good news is that Nora feels pretty well and everything is possible for tomorrow's second round.
Preview to the MFS Women's Ladies Masters
Nora Angehrn is ready for her first tournament in 2007. She played a practice round on Monday on the demanding and tight Par 72 course at The Royal Sydney Golf Club. It's a great Golfcourse she said after that. Nora is happy to have her new Caddy Gerald with her for both tournaments in down under. Nora will tee off at 1:30 pm (February 1st) local time, which is 3:30 am in Europe. So play well while we sleep Nora! |
