Ep66: Royal Sydney Is (Almost) Ready!

Fast turn around from last episode to this – with RoyalSydney about to publicly unveil their newly renovated Gil Hanse golf course. After a recent multi-hour walk around the property with super Adam Marchant, Scott shares his views on the design, and the highlights of the reworked layout. Needless to say – expectations were exceeded!

 

Prior to that, we briefly discuss golf shoes and a PhD studyundertaken by a listener of the pod. The link below takes you to a 10 minute survey for a LaTrobe University Podiatry faculty research project on golf footwear. We hope you’re able to spare the time to participate. It will really help.
