In this episode we drive two hours north of Sydney – to the memorable and enjoyable Newcastle golf club. A wide-ranging discussion addresses the character of the course, the seaside location, and the topography on which Newcastle sits. The design prowess of Eric Apperly is also noted, as well as the similarity between parts of the course at Stockton, and Apperly’s work at New South Wales GC. The possible changes to Newcastle are also discussed, and these are fleshed out further in the next episode of Australian Golf Passport – an interview with Bob Harrison.
Later in this episode, Scott provides a thorough guide to golf in the region surrounding Newcastle, giving his views on golf in the Hunter Valley and elsewhere. Some of the attractions of the region are covered too. The merits of the course at Newcastle, especially in relation to metropolitan Sydney courses, are also considered. Newcastle is a course unlike any other – possessing a uniquely Australian charm, an understated elegance, and oodles of design quality and practicality.
