Dawn breaks, as usual, with a glorious sunrise. Dew glimmers and steams off the first fairway as the rays hit. And not long after … swoosh WHACK … the lucky first person has teed off for an early morning round. The sound of catch-up chatter and high-spirited rivalry carries across the course as more and more people – solo players, regular groups and long-time friends catching up after a while – arrive at the course.
Later in the day, as the sun begins heading home, the glory of these beautifully-manicured courses is rivalled only by the native wildlife, which also – like us – has gathered around the course to bounce, eat, chirp, watch and play. The scent of eucalypt is in the air, and the competition continues.
