Question 5

Why is Great Golf on the Melbourne Sandbelt smaller in size than the World book?

Accepted Answer

Great Golf on the Melbourne Sandbelt is indeed smaller than the World book due to a few factors. One, we are only profiling 8 golf clubs and 10 courses in this book (albeith each with a minimum of 10 pages) and the book itself is only 112 pages (compared to 288 for the World book). Secondly we have received feedback from some travelling golfers that weight is an important consideration. The Sandbelt book only weighs 1kg (2.2 pounds) compared to the world book at 3kg (6.6 pounds) meaning it is easier to carry internationally.
