Dumpling by dumpling, basket by basket, I trust I will find my loved ones again. And if we’re at yum cha specialist Chef Wong, I know we’ll emerge from our dumpling adventures happy and sated. My gang piled in one Saturday morning, nabbing the last of 12 tightly packed tables, and settling in to peruse the one-page order sheet, closely printed all the way from steamed pork dumplings to tofu lychee pudding with radish cake and XO fried rice along the way. Diners use a pen to indicate quantities: most things come by the piece and all dumplings are under $4. As the morsels arrived (and kept arriving – I couldn’t contain the ballpoint), it was quickly evident this is no workaday operation. The dumpling wrappers are thin, their folding precise and the fillings pert. Prawn and chive dumplings (right) and scallop and prawn dumplings.Bonnie SavagePrawn and chive dumplings are made with an expertly stretched wheat and potato starch dough that becomes translucent when steamed, the filling chopped rather than minced like every prawn matters. The wrapper is just thick enough to create structural integrity, the 12 sealing pleats crafted as carefully as the finest embroidery. Try these without sauce: they need nothing. Coriander and roast duck is a house invention, the rich meat sweetened with pork and brightened with prawn. Cheung fun filled with roast pork.Bonnie SavageRice rolls (cheung fun), filled with roast pork and dressed with sweet soy, are silky but thick enough to be properly chewy. The same excellent pork fills fluffy buns: grab some from the freezer for home. Hong Kong egg tarts are an art, made with a complicated, laminated pastry. This one is exemplary, every layer evident and the custard filling smooth and creamy. What a gift. This business is powered by a belief in honouring legacy, in this case that of Wing Kwong “Chef” Wong, a dim sum master who died last year, aged 70, after more than 50 years filling and folding dumplings. The restaurant – and its larger Hawthorn offshoot, where there’s a more extensive fusion menu – is run by Wong’s daughter, Doris, who set aside her midwifery career, and her husband, Chung Yew Wai, who swerved from finance to devote himself to the family restaurant, where hours don’t come longer nor margins thinner. The coriander and roast duck filling (plus pork and prawn) is a house invention.Bonnie SavageAdvertisementWe should all be so grateful. Not only are they feeding their community thousands of beautiful dumplings each week, they’re keeping skills alive. Even in Hong Kong, the home of dim sum, there’s a lamentable decline in dumpling masters devoting themselves to the demanding art of yum cha. Chef Wong started his career in Hong Kong aged 16 and worked for decades in Melbourne restaurants Shark Fin Inn, Shark Fin House and Gold Leaf. After cancer treatment in his early 60s, Wong was bored at home. Doris and Wai set him up with an activity: making dumplings to sell to friends. During the pandemic, the home freezer count grew to eight, drawing so much electricity that whenever Wong switched on the kettle to make tea, the power blew. They shifted to these commercial premises in December 2022, intending to run a wholesale business but morphing into a restaurant when customers wanted to stick around. Before Wong died, he passed on his skills and ethics: no shortcuts, no compromises. This is a modest restaurant, but there’s nowhere in Melbourne making dumplings with more integrity.

were surprised this week to receive a joint communique from Campbell MacKintosh telling them something they didn’t know: that both clubs were in merger discussions “The board recognises that this announcement may have come as a surprise to our members,” MacKintosh wrote with considerable understatement to Metropolitan members which has included former cricket great Ricky Ponting Later the clubs told CBD they were “in discussions” about a “potential amalgamation” and they had both signed a “non-binding terms sheet” Regular CBD readers will recall back in 2019 that Huntingdale flirted with a merger with The National down on Mornington Peninsula popular with some AFL greats including Jason Dunstall an agreement which would need to be redrawn Both boards are worried about the future of the clubs with “ever-increasing” member expectations But the fine print of the joint statement to members reveals who would really wear the plus fours if the amalgamation went ahead The new club would operate two neighbouring 18-hole golf courses but would be called The Metropolitan Golf Club The holding company board would have five Met club members but only four Huntingdale members and the chair of the holding company would be appointed by The Metropolitan But all of that is years and several member votes away As one club member harrumphed to CBD down the phone line: “Members are feeling ambushed – this has obviously been going on for some time.” That’s the apparent scorecard as far as the news of the royal visit filters out The visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla in October is now official But it is reported that Victoria will miss out on the truncated tour Regular readers will recall that our editors have banned us from undertaking victory laps, but it was to us that Tom Parker-Bowles let the cat out of the bag last December about a royal visit this October we can’t imagine anybody more thrilled about this news than Racing NSW boss NRL head honcho and unofficial premier of NSW Peter “Showbags” V’landys who’s been lobbying hard to get the King to attend his Everest race in October He’s even introduced the $5 million King Charles Stakes to the carnival lines up perfectly with when we’d expect Charles to be in town King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Royal Ascot.Credit: Getty Images but we’re still pretty confident he’s going to be there,” Showbags told CBD noting that Racing NSW was the first jurisdiction to name a race after His Majesty “Myself and [then Racing NSW CEO] Russell Balding personally invited him and he was very keen at the time.” it is a physical impossibility for His Majesty to attend this year’s Melbourne Cup which will be staged after CHOGM on November 5 Which must really sting the chair Neil Wilson and the board of the Victoria Racing Club Who said life in the Australian Public Service couldn’t be glamorous so it’s great to note that Australia’s High Commissioner in India Philip Green and consul-general Paul

finally tied the knot with big pharma heiress Radhika Merchant in Mumbai last weekend which followed months of “pre-wedding” events that included an Italian cruise and Rihanna’s first public

Indian cricketer worth their salt showed up to support the energy telecommunications and media squillionaire family Justin Bieber played a set a few days earlier Adele and Lana Del Rey were all

The property was taped off on Wednesday as police carried out their search Link copiedShareShare articlePolice have searched a suburban Perth home owned at the time of the Claremont serial killings in the 1990s by the man accused of two of the murders Bradley Robert Edwards was charged last month with the abduction and murder of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon. A third woman who disappeared in the same period, Sarah Spiers, remains missing. Items belonging to Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon have also not been found. Police on Wednesday taped off a house on Fountain Way in Huntingdale, in Perth's south-eastern suburbs, and are continuing to search the property. It is understood they have previously searched the house. Edwards lived at the house for several years before it was sold in April 1997 — just weeks after Ms Glennon became the third woman to disappear from the streets of Claremont in the space of 14 months. The disappearance of three women in 1996 and 1997 sparked WA's longest-running and most expensive police investigation. The cases sparked Australia's longest-running and most expensive police investigation. Ms Rimmer disappeared after a night out with friends in June 1996, and her body was discovered in bushland at Wellard in August that year. Ms Glennon, 27, disappeared in March 1997 after also spending a night out in Claremont, with her body found in bushland in Eglington the following month. The body of Ms Spiers, who was last seen after leaving Club Bay View in Claremont in January 1996, has never been found. Edwards was arrested at his house in Kewdale last month before he was charged with the murders of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon, along with attacks on two other women. He is alleged to have abducting a 17-year-old girl as she walked through a park in 1995 and taken her to a nearby cemetery where he sexually assaulted her. Edwards is also accused of entering the bedroom of a sleeping 18-year-old girl in 1988 and attacking her before fleeing. He is facing two counts of deprivation of liberty, two counts of aggravated sexual penetration without consent, one count of breaking and entering and one count of indecent assault. Edwards is due to reappear in court next week. Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon were allegedly murdered by Bradley Robert Edwards after disappearing from Claremont.

of renowned architects guide our famed Melbourne Sandbelt Club and tournament venue OCM’s job is now to guide us through the next chapter of the Club’s journey.” “The Club has now completed the areas of the Hawtree Course Strategic Review as projected in our current Strategic Plan Martin Hawtree has advised us that he no longer intends to travel and is easing back from commitments The Club recently commissioned OCM to build a new practice chipping green and in light of their work professionalism and vision the Committee offered them an opportunity to present on the potential of becoming our Course Architects As a result the Committee were unanimous in commissioning them to produce a course masterplan which is anticipated to be with us by mid-2021 the Committee sounded out other noted architects however it was OCM that stood out for their strategic vision understanding (and work) in the Melbourne Sandbelt Also noted was their growing national and international acclaim including their recent appointment at Medinah Country Club the 2012 Ryder Cup and the upcoming 2026 Presidents Cup to provide a masterplan for their famed number three course In accepting the role at Huntingdale OCM’s Mike Cocking said Ashley and I are absolutely thrilled to be working with Huntingdale Growing up in Melbourne we have a particular fondness for the sandbelt courses and Huntingdale is an important part of this unique group of clubs As kids you tend to take for granted just how special these dozen or so courses are – the quality of green complexes the strategy and their unique appearance – and it’s only as you get to travel around the country and overseas do you realise just how lucky we are in Melbourne Built over some nicely contoured sandy ground and with a design history going back to the great British Architect we’re excited about what the future holds for OCM and Huntingdale.” The Masterplan will give the Club a vision of the design and development that we may undertake to facilitate a financing and implementation plan should the Club proceed The Committee anticipates the masterplan will contain elements of retention It will be an exciting time for the

largely because of its tournament prominence an Australian Golf Digest ranking in the mid teens during the early 1990s has gradually ballooned out to a current position as the 50th best course in the country indicative only they do highlight Huntingdale’s noticeable drop in esteem over recent years things started to turn sour for the narrow largely north-south arranged golf course in the late 1990s when Superintendent John Spencer and partners Jack Newton and Graeme Grant made significant changes Primarily focused on conditioning during winter months the redesign unfortunately diminished the premier par three par four and par five on the property and the course has struggled to regain its lustre ever since Englishman Martin Hawtree made some adjustments last decade but today’s Huntingdale layout is a long way from the best it has ever been and arguably even further from the best it could be The selection of OCM as course architects should be seen as an ambitious attempt by the club to both raise standards of design whilst also recovering a once powerful reputation OCM stated that “with a design history going back to the great British Architect well known for his work in Japan (Hirono and Kiwana) we’re excited about what the future holds here (at Huntingdale).” “After completing a new short game facility for the club in 2019 we are thrilled to now be appointed the Clubs architects and look forward to starting the Masterplan for the course in early 2021.” Huntingdale will never be a Royal Melbourne or a Victoria simply because the land it occupies doesn’t have the same exciting contour and bold movement have the potential to be a much more memorable and enjoyable golf experience Think Peninsula Kingswood South Course rather than the North Cocking and Mead have redesigned (with former partner Mike Clayton) in recent years One can perhaps imagine a hybrid between the original Alison plan and the dramatic bunkering of Peninsula Kingswood South might work well at Huntingdale and no doubt restoring Alison concepts for holes like the 4th and 15th alone would elevate the quality of golf considerably I’ll be watching the Masterplan and (eventual) redesign

committing his last known murder in 1997, the Claremont serial killer seemed to simply disappear leaving an entire city on edge and wondering whether the murderer was still somewhere out there he was still out there—coaching a children’s sports team and living within the Perth community—but it took another 25 years for him to be caught Edwards grew up in the Perth suburb of Huntingdale While not a lot is known about Edward’s childhood, friends and neighbours have recalled incidents where Edwards had stolen underwear from bedrooms and washing lines Edwards followed in his father’s footsteps and got a job at Telstra where he worked as a technician for most of his life His role as a technician was linked to his first known attack on a woman at Hollywood Hospital in 1990 Edwards attempted to attack a Hollywood Hospital worker by dragging her to a toilet block before suddenly deciding to stop who admitted to the attack and blamed his relationship problems was sentenced to two years probation and undergoing a sex offenders program Bradley Robert Edwards was responsible for a series of murders in the 1990s Edwards had also broken into an 18-year-old girl’s Huntingdale home and attacked her while she slept The only piece of evidence he left was a semen stained kimono Edwards abducted a 17-year-old girl from Claremont He forced the girl into his van and brutally raped her in Karrakatta Cemetery the woman escaped and DNA was taken from the rape at a nearby hospital Edwards wasn’t yet linked to the attack 23-year-old Jane Rimmer and 27-year-old Ciara Glennon from Claremont venues Club Bayview and Hotel Continental He is strongly suspected of murdering a third woman 18-year-old Sarah Spiers from Club Bayview Despite police efforts at the time, the serial killer wasn’t caught until 25 years later become a stepfather and was a regular volunteer at his stepdaughter’s Little Athletics’ club Edwards was finally arrested on December 22 after improvements in DNA testing linked him to the case It began when the kimono Edwards had left in his Huntingdale crime was tested as part of a review of local cold cases in 2016 The DNA from the kimono’s semen stains was found to match the DNA material taken from under Ciara’s fingernails Once they knew the two attacks were linked the police had to find out whose DNA it actually was they tested a fingerprint taken from the doorknob of the Huntingdale property in 1998 who already had his fingerprints on file after his attack on a hospital worker in 1990 The police started tracking Edwards and ended up collecting a bottle of Sprite he had discarded while at the movies with his stepdaughter When the DNA was tested against the other samples Bradley Robert Edwards was arrested in 2016 Edwards was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 40 years Edwards was convicted of murdering Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon but acquitted of murdering Sarah Spiers due to a lack of evidence the judge said that its highly likely that he was her killer Edwards is currently behind bars in Western Australia Club News A planned merger between three Melbourne clubs has been dealt a massive blow with one of the clubs pulling out of early discussions Patterson River Golf Club and Sandhurst Club met to discuss the status of the Patterson River land sale which was a critical factor in progressing with the planned merger of the three clubs During this meeting Patterson River advised that they are not in a position to proceed with the merger until they “address clarify and gain approval from their membership with regard to the land sale and various other options now being considered.” Captain David Parton explained the reasons for the termination of the merger “It was agreed by all parties that without the full knowledge on the direction and timing associated with the Patterson River future proposals in particular the sale of the land development together with the quantum and timing of payments the proposed merger discussions would be terminated.” Patterson River will now undertake a process of holding a number of Information sessions for their members outlining the current financial state of the Club and their options for the future but they will keep their eyes open for future opportunities “In this current environment of golf club consolidation it is the Committee’s responsibility to continue to assess any sensible opportunities that present on merit and the benefits to Huntingdale based on our 5 strategic expansion pillars As we approach the end of our financial year I am pleased to report that we have again had a very good trading year in 2015/16 with strong membership uptake and corporate TPR sales golf shop trading and corporate golf all above budget We have comfortably met our first principal repayment on our clubhouse loan of $500,000 in 2015/16 and expect to make a further repayment of $700,000 in the 2016/17 financial year This is in addition to providing for interest repayments on the loan” The proposed merger was announced in November last year with the clubs intending to enter into a Heads of Agreement  As finalisation of the land sale at

Some of Melbourne’s biggest and most respected private clubs have jumped in to support golfers at Oakleigh public golf course as they struggle to stave off closure Metropolitan and Riversdale golf clubs are all backing the course and its players who are enduring a Monash City Council review of the facility All three private clubs are in the same municipal area as Oakleigh Feedback to the council closes on November 30 with two options on the table – keep the golf course or make it a regional park Huntingdale’s General Manager Alex McGillivray said Huntingdale had run a member awareness campaign that would continue to seek the support of club members The club has also reached out to Riversdale and Metropolitan and is monitoring the situation carefully Those clubs have also called for support from their members Clubs can access a Golf Australia toolkit to help back Oakleigh here Sign the Reach and Belong petition here Send your feedback to Monash Council here “It’s an important club to us in the region,” said McGillivray. “It’s a great use of green space. There are parks in the region, either side of this course. It seems nonsensical to stop what is a successful use of green space already. “Golf’s one of the highest organized participant sports in the country, and booming. While the image of golf might be places like this (Huntingdale), the reality is that most golfers are in public golf.” McGillivray said Huntingdale’s ranks included past captains and presidents who began their golf at Oakleigh, and a current board member. “It’s not just self-interest,” he said. “This (Oakleigh) is a community asset. These people are not going somewhere else, they’re going to give up golf because they need somewhere that they feel comfortable. “This facility is perfect to take your kids and get them into a game and get them into an active and healthy lifestyle.” The petition started by Reach and Belong, the NDIS support service which runs Victoria’s biggest and most successful group disability golf program out of Oakleigh golf course, has been signed by more than 3500 people. Several of the Reach and Belong golfers were at the course this week including 20-year-old Ash Ranasinghe, who has created a string of ‘Save Oakleigh golf’ posters for distribution. Golf coach Sandy Jamieson, who runs the Reach and Belong programs, said he was convinced that Monash would make the right decision, retain the golf course and improve it. “Rightly, the councillors are asking questions about how tis place is better managed for the community,” said Jamieson. “What you sometimes end up with in public golf is understaffed operations that don’t serve the community well. “So this is an opportunity as much as anything else.” Jamieson said the shortness and flat nature of Oakleigh made it perfect for the Reach and Belong programs, which employ a number of community coaches who would lose their employment if the course is closed. “The City of Monash has six golf courses --- four private clubs with a full 18 holes. There’s two public golf courses in Monash – Glen Waverley which has 18 holes and the nine holes at Oakleigh. “Of all the golf in Monash, they want to close the smallest footprint environmentally, that caters for the most people who have disability or who have a concession pass. “Those people are not going anywhere else.

famous of Melbourne’s Sandbelt courses having been the home of the Australian Masters from 1979 to 2008 we were treated to seeing some of the best players in the game – including Greg Norman Bernhard Langer and Seve Ballesteros and many more – striding Huntingdale’s fairways in pursuit of the Masters’ gold jacket like the US Masters has done for Augusta National it brought Huntingdale into our living rooms and we became so familiar with its lightning fast greens As a result of its Australian Masters history there is more to a round at Huntingdale than simply pitting your skill against the course memories of great Masters moments can be relived and Graeme Grant and John Spencer extensively remodelled Huntingdale over several years starting in the late 1990s despite improving the year-round playability of the course which always suffered from poor drainage during the wetter winter months British architect Martin Hawtree has advised the club on some changes Among them has been the clearing of introduced tree and scrubs species replaced by more than 4,000 natives that has certainly opened up what was Huntingdale remains one of the finest tests of accurate ball-striking to be found in this country which was the hallmark of all the great golfers who won the gold jacket The round opens with two very good par-4s that both challenge you to find the ‘correct’ position off the tee to leave a straight-forward approach into heavily bunkered greens The short par-4 8th hole demands accuracy and finesse rather than power.PHOTO: Gary Lisbon Huntingdale’s bunkers are plentiful in numbers There are more than 80 of them strategically positioned across the layout and while this is perhaps comparable with other Sandbelt courses the larger size of Huntingdale’s sandy hazards makes them more visually intimidating to players of all standards is a bit of a sleeper hole but if there are any question marks over your ability from the sand it can be frightening if you are nursing a good score Played through a chute created by trees left and right it can be difficult getting a read on the breeze The subtle undulations of the putting surface are an oasis compared with what awaits when missing the green as there are seven bunkers surrounding the putting surface The only ‘miss’ that will not result in a bunker shot is through a narrow gap at the back of the green but an up-and-down from the bottom of the slope here is even more difficult than blasting from one of the bunkers The 410-metre par-4 18th is one of the best It was here in the 1999 Masters that a young Craig Spence rifled a 6-iron to within a metre of the hole The resulting birdie could not be matched by Norman and Spence collected his first winner’s cheque most pros only require a short iron to reach the green and are certainly not troubled by the fairway bunkers left or the cross bunker short of the huge putting surface it is a treacherous driving hole followed by a demanding second shot to a green that doesn’t cough up too many birdies especially when you are putting from above the hole The par-5 7th is usually viewed as the course's best birdie chance CONTACT: (03) 9579 4622, (03) 9570

but limited tee-times are available for interstate and overseas visitors GOLF AUSTRALIA MAGAZINE TOP-100 COURSES HISTORY: “The strength of Huntingdale lies in its green complexes Recent bunkering has made the driving areas tighter and harder to choose a brave line from the tee but once safely in the fairway the approach shots are very interesting 12 and 13 are some of the most interesting on the Sandbelt They often require a shaped shot to get to a pin but give a safe option to play to the middle of the green if you are just looking to make par Short-siding yourself on the Huntingdale greens can be costly so there is always a decision to be made before hitting your approach shots This decision becomes even more engaging when the greens are playing firm and fast.” – Richard Macafee (2016) the appeal of visiting Huntingdale is in walking down memory lane; of playing the holes that were the scene of so many famous moments in the history of the Australian Masters The fairways and greens always seem in great nick I always enjoy getting a good tee shot away on the testing 1st hole or hitting an approach shot close on the short 2nd hole are fun to play too.” – Matthew Mollica (2016) Comments: “RACV Healesville is not your average course; par 68 measuring just under 5,000 metres The course possesses many holes of wonderful design It is a layout focussing primarily upon fun and playability it demands a place in the upper echelon of the nation’s courses which would be the envy of countless courses through the country.” – Matt Mollica “Here’s proof that a good course doesn’t need to be long or a par-72 and deserving of a spot on the Top-100 list.” – DJ Loypur www.racv.com.au Designers: Greg Norman & Bob Harrison (1997) this could be the best conditioned course in Queensland.” – Peter Martin “The Grand drifts seamlessly between flat easy-walking holes to more undulating terrain with both areas of the course offering their own challenges I really like the collection of par-3s at The Grand especially the thickly tree-lined downhill 8th that features a longish green surrounded by bunkers and asks you to choose your club wisely.” – Graham Brady

still think a lot of the praise for Huntingdale comes from the defunct Masters It is beautifully presented but the various renovations over the years have left a dysfunctional course that deserves better “Iconic Sandbelt bunkering is plentiful across the course particularly around the challenging putting surfaces have struggled for consistent first-class conditioning with the change to Poa Annua.” – Peter Shaw www.huntingdalegolf.com.au Comments: "Meadow Springs’ front nine fairways ebb and flow beautifully while the inward nine covers more remarkable topography with greater elevation changes between tee and green.” – Richard O’Reilly “The fairways of the inward nine are lined with hundreds of Tuart trees and Jones’ routing to include these ancient trees as an integral part of his design adds to the excitement and beauty of the finishing holes.” – Brendan James “I have played Meadow Springs perhaps a dozen times in the past five-six years and I’m yet to encounter fairways tees and greens there that are not superbly presented.” – Nikki Scott www.msgcc.com.au Designers: Carnegie Clark (1921); Peter Thomson & Mike Wolveridge (1987); Ross Watson (2003); Gil Hanse (ongoing) Comments: “To look at Royal Sydney today it is difficult to imagine it was once a classic links course looked on favourably by a visiting Alister MacKenzie in 1926 He even compiled a five-page report of improvements but these changes were either not taken up by the club or simply disappeared under trees and scrub over the decades A Gil Hanse rebuild will hopefully go some way to recapturing the glory of the original links that impressed MacKenzie.” – Brendan James "The wait goes on to truly unlock the marvellous potential of what is incredibly good ground for golf The Gil Hanse renovation will secure an exciting future for this grand and historic club “Gil Hanse will transform this venerable old club … if he’s allowed to.” – Peter Shaw www.rsgc.com.au Comments: “There have been several up-and-downs over the journey but Hope Island reaches its 25th year in career best shape and remains a must-play for any golfer heading to the Gold Coast.” – Brendan James “I was sceptical when I heard the 9th hole was being decommissioned and replaced by a par-3 played over the lake that used to be peppered by practice balls But I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the new addition to the layout.” – Joseph Baker “Hope Island has rarely looked better in the past two decades What I like most is the firmness of the ground which allows you to play a range of different shots into the greens.” – Ally Peters www.linkshopeisland.com.au Comments: "With all the major drainage work done and bedded in bold layout which might expect from the Greg Norman stable but it is the strategic lines of play and creative green complexes that get the golfing juices flowing.” – Brendan James good green complexes and no doubt the condition will continue to improve as the course beds in.” – Kevin Nolan www.easterngolfclub.com.au Designers: Tony Cashmore & Sir Nick Faldo (2004) Comments: “The Creek Course is also part of Darius Oliver’s bunker rationalisation and improvement plan There are a few bunkers that perhaps don’t need to be there and hopefully he will address the elephant in the room the run of holes from 12 to 15 that just aren’t up to the standard of the other 14.” – Brian Walshe “Excellent presentation with big wide fairways Many visiting golfers head to 13th Beach’s Beach Course but more attention should be paid to the Creek Course is far more enjoyable to play than it's higher ranked neighbour.” – Kevin Nolan www.13thbeachgolf.com Designers: Greg Norman & Bob Harrison (2004) Comments: "Even bad scoring days here are really enjoyable and you can put that down to the quality of the course simply because they all offer something different.” – Susan Johnson enjoyable design complemented by well-presented playing surfaces Can’t ask for much more than that.” – Joe Thomas “A round at The Vintage seems to build to a climax with the run back to the clubhouse starting at the short par-4 13th encourages a range of interesting tee shot strategies.” – Brendan James www.thevintage.com.au Designers: Vern Morcom (1932 & 1956); Geoff Ogilvy Comments: “This is a really interesting redesign by OCM that could be the future of public golf is short by modern standards but tricky around the greens for low handicappers to provide a challenge The public are eating it up with the course solidly booked.” – Ashley Clinch “Sandy Links is an exciting new addition to the Top-100 which is destined to climb higher in this list as the playing surfaces mature and more judges get to sample its pure golfing delights post-COVID.” – Brendan James “This OCM redesigned course has a lot more strategic merit and gives the general public a taste of what its more famous Sandbelt neighbours are offering.” – Carl Murphy www.sandringham.golf Designers: Graham Marsh & Ross Watson (1994); Graham Marsh (2017) Comments: “There have been lots of changes made at Terrey Hills in recent years with the biggest being the resurfacing of all 18 greens with a new blended bentgrass while the surrounds were converted to Santa Ana couch As you might expect with a private club like Terrey Hills the conditioning is first class.” – Brendan James What a like most though is it is a challenging www.terreyhillsgolf.com.au Designers: Vern Morcom (1947); Mike Clayton (2009 & ongoing) Comments: "For the fifth consecutive Top-100 Courses ranking Curlewis has once again crept higher in the list on the back of well-considered design changes and a continued devotion to simply just keep improving the course.” – Brendan James “One of the most improved courses in this country during the past decade Recent changes – like the complete redesign of the 1st and 9th holes opening up of several holes by clearing of trees the creation of sandy wasteland areas and the overall increased width of many holes – have all added to Curlewis being a better course than it was just a handful of years ago.” – Hamish Walker There are some well-designed holes offering a variety of decisions during the round however the church pew designed bunkers did feel a little out of place.” – Carl Murphy  www.curlewisgolf.com.au Designers: Vern Morcom (1967); Greg Norman (2013) Comments: “The East Course is a wonderful golfing contrast to the adjoining West Course Norman’s design has more dramatic lines and visuals Then there are surprising holes – like the long par-4 10th which boasts only one bunker to the right of the long green – that are more challenging than first appearances suggest.” – Brendan James “Greg Norman’s redesign is a favourite of members but it does feel hemmed in and manipulated at times The best holes on the back nine come late in the round at the 14th www.grangegolf.com.au 
Huntingdale Golf Club is located in the heart of Melbourne's world famous 'sandbelt' region One of Australia's most prestigious private golf courses 20% being female and a General Manager and PGA professional onsite there were 9,261 residents in Oakleigh South where Huntingdale Golf Club is situated however most club members come from other suburbs around Melbourne Golf Australia engaged the Australian Human Rights Commission to develop Guidelines for the Promotion of Equal Opportunity for Women and Girls in Golf (AHRC Guidelines) They have been developed to ensure golf clubs are informed about the equal opportunity rights of members and that they’re not held liable under the Act The AHRC Guidelines acknowledge that the experiences of women and girls in golf have been very different from those of men and boys This has limited women and girls’ access to the game in different ways A remnant of this historical experience is that many women still play only during the week or only have memberships that do not give them Saturday playing rights women’s Honour Board competitions are traditionally scheduled midweek to accommodate the women and girls in this situation because this cohort often make up the majority of women in community golf clubs Huntingdale Golf Club is in Melbourne's world famous sandbelt region and prides itself as an equal opportunity club “A member is a member – everyone is equal,” said Alex McGillivray progressive and inclusive culture at our club We have been proactive for some time having advocated for the women’s pennant to move to a Sunday all our competitions are open to women and men and enabling our women to be full members since the mid-1980s men and women can put their name down in any time slot While we are proud of what we have achieved it has been valuable working with Golf Australia on Vision 2025 to identify further areas for improvement.” a very supportive club committee and membership and women’s sub-committees have been leading their club forward with Vision 2025 strategies to grow female participation by making changes reflective of the AHRC Guidelines to provide equal opportunity for women and girls “The club’s strategic direction is to seek and attract female members so we have introduced some special measures to achieve this,” McGillivray said Changing the constitution to give the club committee the power to change membership processes to encourage more women into golf and full membership Revising women’s B & C grade championship rules of competition to enable women to participate either on a weekday or weekend 
This case study demonstrates the work Huntingdale Golf Club has done to achieve equal opportunity along with challenges and learnings along the way “We knew how important it was to allow all female members (studying working and non-working) the opportunity to participate in our club championships This needed to happen to achieve equal opportunity and to further grow our female membership base,” McGillivray said “Upon revising our championship terms and conditions we did face some complications but have worked collaboratively to overcome these we needed to identify how to fairly run quarter and semi-finals where a participant who plays on a weekend may need to compete against a participant who plays on a weekday Our decision has been a “play by” rather than a “play on” format – that being a pair may choose to conduct their match on any day within the week If the mutually agreed day is a day that a 5- or 6-day member cannot usually access “In terms of making our women’s club championships a multi-day format the biggest task was the need to sell the concept to our female members Women were concerned it was unfair to run the event on different days that bring different conditions We used examples of how conditions can change between morning and afternoon tee times in major tournaments around the world (e.g The Open Championship) and events such as the Australian Amateur and World Amateur have qualifying rounds on different days on different courses “We were eventually successful in obtaining a consensus have been lenient with membership playing rights and are now looking forward to hosting the club’s first multiday championship in November the members who have entered to play on the weekend are working women and are over the moon they can now participate in the event “Rather than coming from a top-down approach (like we initially did) it has been very promising and reassuring to now have our women’s committee initiating conversations about our other board events held midweek I think Vision 2025 has been a good tool to educate and empower our members and committees to make positive changes” members voted in favour of changing the club’s constitution to give the committee power to create categories of membership One such category put forward as an example was one that would attract and nurture female golfers on a pathway to full membership The club has since introduced a women’s introductory membership This membership enables women to play up to 25 rounds of golf per year with a reduced entrance fee and an annual payment equivalent to 77% of a full membership fee we believe we have managed to find a good balance to provide a steppingstone for women to become full members This has only very recently been implemented but our male members are already expressing an interest in signing up their partners We are very happy with this outcome as we strive to create a family atmosphere at our club Our next challenge is to create an easily understood pathway for women from beginner to full membership we are working to eradicate our 5- and 6-day membership categories we want both men and women to simply be full members with equal and full-time access to the course and our competitions.” Clubs can create their own Vision 2025 strategy to review policy practices and pricing to encourage more women and girls to play golf introductory programs and introductory memberships more weekend board events and more leadership positions in the club are just a few areas a club can include in its strategy Bring your members along on the Vision 2025 journey by educating and inspiring them about the opportunities it will create If they understand the bigger picture and how it can benefit the club long term they will be more likely to support your proposals Golf Australia can assist with your club’s Vision 2025 strategy and now has templates to help clubs modernise their constitutions For further assistance on any of

Construction will begin with the all-abilities playground and neighbouring car park. The all-abilities playground is one of ten promised to the community in 2020, to make play accessible close to home for everyone, with six playgrounds now complete and planning underway on the remaining playgrounds. “It is important to ensure families with children of all levels of ability can access safe and enjoyable play opportunities close to home,” Mayor Lynes said. “Playgrounds, recreation spaces and sporting facilities are a huge part of the lives of our residents – they improve our health and wellbeing, support better community connections and generally make living in our community more enjoyable.” Disaster recovery support is now available to flood impacted communities in Bourke, Brewarrina and Walgett in northern New South Wales....
