COUNTDOWN TO ASTOR TROPHY MONDAY START

GRANGE COURSE, SOFTENED BY RAIN,  

NOW IN FABULOUS CONDITION
 

From Elaine Farquharson-Black

GB and I Astor Trophy team captain

Grange GC, Adelaide, Saturday: It poured with rain for the first few holes of our first practice round over the course today.  Can't believe we are wearing full waterproofs! Tomorrow is looking better, with sun and cloud and 29 degrees forecast.

The course is in fabulous condition, with the rain probably taking some of the bounce out of the greens. Lots of fairway bunkers and waste areas and deep bunkers around the greens, but the landing areas are quite generous on the whole.

Another practice round at 830 am tomorrow, with perhaps some holes after lunch. Opening ceremony is 6 pm Sunday when the foursomes pairings for Monday will be announced.
+Greg Norman scored his first win as a professional at Grange Golf Club.
