Easter trip summary -

Got to have a hit at Blackwood before leaving, gee I love that course/club, I think thats where I will eventually end up, hcap got knocked down to a 15 with hole 2 out of action, 31 points and played pretty well.

Naracoorte on Good Friday, bit of a rush around and only got in 15 holes but this course is very tight with almost every hole being a dogleg, played rubbish as I was very weary, fairways ok, greens very good and well maintained

Port Fairy - Wow, what a place, one of the very few true links courses on the mainland, an absolute pleasure to play, every hole made you think through how you play it and with the wind up on the day (2-3 clubs) we played it was a true test, its not overly long but you do need to straight on a lot of the holes. I started well with pars on 2 of the first 3 and was 4 over standing on the 7th tee, fell apart a bit from there but overall I was happy with 30 points and 89 off the stick + a pick up. Itching to get back there again now, always the case when you play a new course.

Warrnambool the next day for 9 holes, we all went down there to go to the hot springs in the morning so chucked the clubs in, fair to say we were very relaxed when we arrived. Pretty cool being at the home of the Leish, more of a traditional course with a bit of a linksy feel. Holes 4,5,6 are what they call Shipwreck corner, all short tight par 4's near the beach, something unique. Enjoyable hit, had a birdie on 8 and par on 9 to finish well but only 13 points after butchering the early holes. Then off to the Warrnambool FC for a few beers and look at their unbelievable set up for a country footy club

Can't recommend Pt Fairy enough, both golf wise but also as a place to stay, great place.

Twilight.
Still learning the new Driver.
First hole hit was just a push.
Second hole was a slight push but managed to get through the trees and held a line above the mounds. Left 100m in.
4th just a big block but managed to still get past the bunker out there on the right.
5th - hit a beautiful drive that went straight and just fell to the right with the slope. Left 110m
6th - went gun barrel straight at a tree I aimed at down the left. Expected a slight fade. But happy with the connection.
8th - again hit it gun barrel straight and went past a hazard marker on the right that I'm.not sure I've got past. I use that as a guide. The best drives go that long. This just a bit further.

Putting was ok.
The 100-120m shots killed me today :roll:
