Women's Australian Open returns to Commonwealth

 

Further kudos has come the way of AGCSA superintendent member Mark Prosser and his course maintenance team at Commonwealth Golf Club this week after Golf Australia announced that the Women’s Australian Open would return to the Melbourne sandbelt club in 2011. In a press release sent out on Thursday, Golf Australia announced that following “an outstanding 2010 championship and on the strength of player feedback” the event would be played on the same course in consecutive years for the first time since 2002.

Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt said the championship would build on the success of the 2010 event. “We are looking forward to returning to Commonwealth for the second year in a row,” Pitt said. “We had wonderful feedback on the strength of the course and its condition from both Australian and international players so we’re very happy to be at Commonwealth again.” Commonwealth will host the 2011 event from 3-6 February.  Click here to read more.
