The Vic Open, to be held from Thursday to Sunday, is another important new event as men and women play simultaneously for the same prize money. The Vic Open will be held on a course I know well -- the 13th Beach Golf Links that runs along the coastline south of Melbourne. Another comment you'll overhear is that the large numbers of players skipping the event don't understand the message they're sending. Yes, players may have perfectly good reasons for skipping the Vic Open. The Vic Open may be the first of four consecutive events in Asia, but it demands a priority place on every player's schedule this year.
