In 2014, we ran The Back 9 Challenge as a large scale demonstration program. Wollongong Golf Club was one of five golf clubs that participated.
Wollongong Golf Club is an 18-hole links-style course located on the coast south of Sydney. At the time is was undergoing some modifications by Ross Watson. Greens are Bentgrass/Poa. Tees and fairways are Kikuyu or Couchgrass. Being on the coast generally good air movement occurs but still diseases like Pythium and Dollar Spot generally occur in summer months.
