With the much-anticipated opening of Hobart’s 7 Mile Beach course on the horizon, it’s just one reason why Tasmania is the envy of golfers across the country.
Likely to be known as 5 Mile Beach, the second course will add an important dimension to the peninsula of land on the eastern side of the Tasmanian capital.
One of eight Australians in the field, Goggin’s chances are buoyed by his recent play at home on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia, including a third-place finish behind Order of Merit champion Kazuma Kobori at the Webex Players Series Victoria.
Mathew Goggin, Tasmania’s best-known touring pro, has a new passion project: drawing more golfers to his hometown of Hobart courtesy of two new world-class courses.
