Royal Sydney Golf Course, Australia

Australia golf course Royal Sydney, Rose Bay, New South Wales.

The Royal Sydney Golf Club was founded in 1893 and the course was remodeled by Dr Alister Mackenzie in the 1920s. It is one of the finest courses in Australia, close to the sea but only ten minutes away from the centre of Sydney. The best-known holes are the 18th - a dog-leg to the left of 410 yards and the short 3rd, surrounded by bunkers filled with dazzling soft, white sand. The main features of the course are the undulating fairways, fearsome rough and the gleaming white sand of the bunkers.

About the putter there is something so slender and sensitive, so fitful, capricious and fickle, shall I venture to say even at times inconstant, that no doubt can be felt as to the sex question. Plainly, such a companion will not readily be chanced on among the common herd or met with in the crowded streets; she must be sought for with care and skill. No club is so human as the putter, none so worthy the name friend, if true, none more likely to do one an injury if disloyal and treacherous. Like so many of her sex, the putter has a touch of vanity in her nature which must be humored, if she is to be won as a faithful mistress. (John J. Low).
