New South Wales Golf Club - Sydney, Australia - 2009

 




 Approach shot on the 5th hole par 5 after driving the flattish crest of the hill.  The bunkers on the left came into play on the second.  I would have preferred to have been about 10 yards further right on my tee shot for a better angle in, but that would have been flirting with a steep slope off to the right of the crest of the hill. The green is not visible from the tee, only the crest of the hill.





The spectacular hole 5 green complex. 




6th Hole




6th Green
 

 
7th Hole (view from the side of the green, approach is from the right in the photo.)  The photo doesn't do this green justice.  Tight cropped surrounds (especially on the false front) and a bunker on the far side that is like a funnel for mis-hit approach shots and putts.
