After having first visited the town of Bridport back in 2004 for a sneak preview round on Barnbougle Dunes, Matt recently made his first trip back there in more than four and a half years, and recalls the experience of several days playing over Lost Farm, Bougle Run and Barnbougle Dunes.
 
This episode starts with a reasonably lengthy recap of recent events on the local golf scene – taking the first twenty minutes or so – feel free to hit fast forward if you don’t wish to mull over topics like the Asia Pacific Amateur recently staged at Royal Melbourne, the issues pertaining to courses and local government at Oakleigh and Moore Park, the World Top 100 ratings kerfuffle involving Cape Wickham, and the upcoming Australian Open golf tournament at The Lakes and The Australian.
 
Before launching in to the minutiae of golf at Barnbougle (turf, routing, bunker sand, wind and the social elements of a stay at this idyllic location) we proudly announce the support of Burnley Brewing.  We could not be more chuffed to welcome such a sensational partner and supporter of the pod. Go check out their range on insta (@burnleybrewing), online at www.burnleybrewing.com.au and IRL at 648
Bridge Road Richmond.
 
And keep your eyes open for some prizes for listeners which will be up for grabs in the next little while.
 
The episode stretches on, covering the highlights of all the courses at Barnbougle, the holes on Bougle Run, and so much more. Greensites, feeder slopes, BD v LF, 18a and more. It's perfectly times to last the duration of the trip from Launceston airport terminal to the front gate of Barny - should you be down that way soon!
