Ep96: Cape Wickham (finally!)

AGP finally touched down on King Island, with a group of mates in tow, all very excited to see the golf on offer.

This episode will the first of a couple devoted to King Island, and one where we principally discuss the course at Cape Wickham. The turf, location, the 18th green, the wind, sets of 3s and 5s, favourite holes – all of it.

The inevitable comparisons are made with Ocean Dunes, as well as the collection of leading Tasmanian courses.  The layout at Wickham is such a spectacular course, and one that generates endless discussion and opinions. We hope you enjoy this episode, and the other King Island centred chats in the pipeline. A few links below, as discussed in this episode
