As a much younger man working in the inner Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, the most accessible and enjoyable round of golf I could find before or after work was at Moore Park Golf.
Playing Moore Park again brought back some wonderful memories of afternoons well spent on the course with mates. I’ll be playing it again soon too as Moore Park is undoubtedly in the best condition I have ever seen it.
