Play the “Tassie Tour”
1st March – 11th March 2017
Get the feel of what it is like to be a travelling Golf Professional,
playing in different events at different courses.
Join PGA Professionals Matthew Duke, Adrian Lawson and Richard Rhodes for 11 days of
tournament golf during the Tasmanian PGA’s “Tassie Tour”.
Play in a series of Pro-Ams across the Apple Isle along with 2 rounds at the World Top 100
Barnbougle Dunes Resort.
During this tour around Tassie you will get the feel of what it is like to be a travelling golf
professional, playing in different events at different courses, meeting the locals and teeing
it up for a paycheck every day.
But this will be a Tour with a difference. We will be bringing back the good old days of the
Tour, the days when Wayne Grady, Peter Senior, Ian Baker-Finch and Rod Pampling played
on the Troppo Tour. The days when you had a beer or two after golf and enjoyed the
company of fellow golfers and locals alike. And if some good music was playing, then all the
better.

North end of the State for an afternoon round at
Barnbougle Dunes. The elder of the two courses,
The Dunes is a spectacular example of traditional
Links golf. Overlooking Barbougle’s pristine beach
sits the stunning Dunes Clubhouse – where you
can wind down between and after games with a

DAY FIVE Sunday 5th
March
Port Sorell Golf Club Pro Am
After breakfast today we head to the Port Sorrell
Golf Club at the Shearwater Resort for the 3rd Pro
Am on the Tassie Tour. The golf course is situated
approximately 200 metres from Freers Beach and
directly adjacent to the Shearwater Resort. The
first 6 holes are sand based and each hole plays
like a typical links course. The remaining 3 holes
are further away from the beach and play very
differently. The deep bunkers surrounding most
greens can be difficult especially when playing a
shot close to the bunker lips. The greens are
usually speedy with subtle breaks making putting
tricky, especially when its windy.
