  • Pebble Beach® Spyglass Hill® Spanish
    TM THE TECHNOLOGY LEADER IN GOLF SIMULATION Pebble Beach® Pebble Beach is probably the greatest meeting of land and sea in Ameri- can Golf and likely the most extensive. Pebble Beach Golf Links® was the first public course to be selected as the No.1 golf course in America by Golf Digest in 2001. It has been the site of golf’s most prestigious tourna- ments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships. Pebble Beach will host another U.S. Amateur in 2018 and its sixth U.S. Open in 2019. Truly the most coveted course in the world to play! Spyglass Hill® Spyglass Hill is without question one of the top public golf courses in the U.S. Ranked #48 in the U.S, it is located on the Pebble Beach peninsula. The PGA TOUR®, consistently lists Spyglass Hill’s holes 6, 8 and 16 among the toughest on the TOUR, and during the 1999 US Amateur, the stroke average of the field during medal play was in excess of 79. Spanish Bay® The Links at Spanish Bay was built on vast sandy wasteland ideally suited for creating a true coastal Scottish links-style course. Development began in 1985, and was planned to protect the native dunes habitat. Prior cham- pionship tournaments included the 1993 Shivas Irons Games of the Links and NorCal Toyota Challenge.

  • Official Opening of the Gartland Exhibition
    THE HON RICHARD MARLES MP DEPUTY LEADER OF THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY SHADOW MINISTER FOR DEFENCE MEMBER FOR CORIO KEY NOTE ADDRESS – OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE GARTLAND EXHIBITION GEELONG, VICTORIA THURSDAY, 19 SEPTEMBER 2019 ***CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY*** Art is the highest form of expression of the human spirit. After the chores of life, food, shelter, work; art is what we do. Just as the exquisite plumage is to the bird of paradise, art is the human signature and it is what we leave behind. From the rock paintings of Kakadu, to the Terracotta Warriors, to the Mona Lisa, art comes in an infinite variety of forms but what underpins all of it is identity. An ancient culture telling its stories, a society giving an expression of the afterlife, a portrait of a mysterious woman, all of these are voices from the distant past telling us who they are. In this exhibition “The Greatest Team of All”, in this our gallery, there is the best telling of the story of who we are that you will ever see. The creation of this exhibition by Bob Gartland, is itself an astounding work of art. It is the closest that we will get to the distillation of Geelong’s identity. And that is important, because over the journey our identity has gone through many changes. From our incorporation as a city in 1849 by an act of the NSW Parliament as a port of a fledgling far flung settlement, to a gateway to the Gold Rush, to the centre of national action when Australia rode on the back of the sheep, a country town an industrial centre, to the present day when we are perhaps writing the next chapter in Geelong’s identity, a university town, a centre of public insurance, a lifestyle city.

  • Damascus Christos Tsiolkas
    AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2019 Damascus Christos Tsiolkas The stunningly powerful new novel from the author of The Slap. Description 'They kill us, they crucify us, they throw us to beasts in the arena, they sew our lips together and watch us starve. They bugger children in front of fathers and violate men before the eyes of their wives. The temple priests flay us openly in the streets and the Judeans stone us. We are hunted everywhere and we are hunted by everyone. We are despised, yet we grow. We are tortured and crucified and yet we flourish. We are hated and still we multiply. Why is that? You must wonder, how is it we survive?' Christos Tsiolkas' stunning new novel Damascus is a work of soaring ambition and achievement, of immense power and epic scope, taking as its subject nothing less than events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church. Based around the gospels and letters of St Paul, and focusing on characters one and two generations on from the death of Christ, as well as Paul (Saul) himself, Damascus nevertheless explores the themes that have always obsessed Tsiolkas as a writer: class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, refugees; the ways in which nations, societies, communities, families and individuals are united and divided - it's all here, the contemporary and urgent questions, perennial concerns made vivid and visceral. In Damascus, Tsiolkas has written a masterpiece of imagination and transformation: an historical novel of immense power and an unflinching dissection of doubt and faith, tyranny and revolution, and cruelty and sacrifice.

The course lies on the second oldest golfing ground in Scotland, features an ancient shepherd’s wall as part of its design and is home to “Redan”, the most copied par three ever. Old Tom Morris and his son, Tommy, were playing a match here in 1875 against the Parks when word came that Tommy’s wife had taken ill during childbirth.
