Bulahdelah Golf Club, NSW, Australia … Twenty Dollars For A Haircut But Ten Dollars For All-Day Golf … See The Video.
For as many years I fail to remember I have driven through the sleepy township of Bulahdelah located on the banks of the Myall River about 235 klms north of Sydney.
First as youngster on route to a family holiday destination and in recent decades either driving or accompanying friends for a weekend away from the ‘big smoke’.
And in motoring up-and-down the Pacific Highway that connects Sydney with Brisbane I would pass by Bulahdelah Golf Club.
On my latest journey to Sydney that was ...
Faldo Course, Emirates Golf Club – Three Months Travelling Ends Longing To Return.
Three months away from ‘home’ ended with the pleasure of tackling the Faldo Course at Emirates Golf Club.
The Majlis Course, and host to the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, remains the benchmark for golf in the Middle East however I’ve come to enjoy the Faldo Course.
The Faldo Course is a great mix of holes with no two the same and it’s a golf course where a 15-handicapper like myself can walk away with a bunch of pars that only adds to the enjoyment.
And 37 points was a great ...
Doha Golf Club – Enjoying The Course 17 Years After A First Visit To The Qatar Capital (Photo Slideshow).
Much has changed in Doha in 17 years.
Walking the Doha Golf Club course inside-the-ropes on the day after the 2016 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters was nothing like the vista when I first attended the tournament in 1999, and a year after the inaugural event.
There was no skyline ‘distractions’ back then and just a stunning desert design layout on the very outskirts of the city of Doha.
However in that period natural gas and oil was discovered in Qatar resulting in Doha undergoing a remarkable ...

Arabian Ranches Golf Club …. A Dubai Desert-Style Golfing Oasis.
Exactly a week after the enjoyment of playing the Arabian Ranches Golf Club I found myself on the same table sharing dinner with the designer – Ian Baker-Finch.
The former Open Champion designed the Dubai course that opened its doors in February, 2004.
I had the pleasure of playing the course soon after it opened but to return over a decade later it was a great pleasure to see how much the course has matured.
Baker-Finch designed this true desert-style layout in what was his first collaboration ...
Faldo Course, Emirates Club, Dubai – Like The Designer, The Course Grows On You.
The Faldo Course at the Emirates Club in Dubai is a bit like its designer – the more you get to know Nick Faldo, the more at ease you are in his company.
I have been fortunate now to play the Faldo course a few times and while it doesn’t get any easier, I do feel very comfortable teeing-up.
Once again, my thanks go to Viren Varma at Golf in Dubai for the opportunity to play the course.
Viren is the highly-respected Media Officer with Golf in Dubai and is based at the Emirates Club. ...
