Who else wouldv'e spotted that?
Surely you can also just see Watches of Switzerland on the corner of Princes St and Frederick St? Just opposite the National Gallery!

Could have been an 86 but I missed the birdie putts on 17 & 18.

17 was a long shot but 18 was only abot 6 feet.

Amazing experience amazing country Wonderful people
