This edition starts off with another brief look at headlines of the day, including news of a sister course alongside 7 Mile Beach in Tasmania, the 2023 Asia Pacific Amateur Championship at Royal Melbourne, and the 2028 Presidents Cup which looks set to be held at Kingston Heath.
Discussion quickly moves on to another Melbourne sandbelt star – Metropolitan Golf Club. We touch on the Club’s history including changes to the layout in the late 1950s, as well as the hallmarks by which Metro is universally recognised – immaculate fairway grass presentation and striking greenside bunkering. The strengths of the additional par 3 hole nestled between the fifth and sixth are discussed, as well as the Warren blueprint for a reworking of the 12-13-14 stretch. The Doak Scale score for Metro is also briefly mentioned – visit our twitter feed (@ausgolfpassport) for a current tweet on the Doak Scale. Lukas Michel joins us in the second half of the episode to offer his expert views on the course and Club. Lukas is a highly decorated amateur who has won the Metropolitan GC Club championship several times, in addition to the 2021 Master of the Amateurs, as well as the 2019 US Mid-Amateur, which earned him stars in the 2020 US Open and 2020 US Masters.
