Daily Golf - Where you are playing and how you go

[mighty_tiger_79]

nothing like playing in front of a crowd

[The Sleeping Giant]

Except if you hit it a bit long.

I'm sure there is less swearing in the pro crowds.

you will be fine, no need to worry about slow greens when you hole out from the 2nd shot or get the ball with a metre of the pin

i like heavy greens, great for attacking the pin

The greens were pretty good and I putted like a demon. Missed two from inside a metre and three putted once but rest were either one or two strokes. Lost a ball FFS. Don't care about the ball it's the penalty shot that irks me.
Unfortunately I had a nine, two eights and a seven in my round so the score was shite. Enjoyable though.

Got an Ambrose comp at Tea Tree Gully in April. Anyone played there (I know you have Keefy ), and what are your thoughts??

Have played there about 20 times. I find the greens difficult to read, but being ambrose you will get a couple of looks. Plenty of trees and quite tight fairways. I quite like it but i didnt the first couple times i played there.

Even with the 3 reads I'll still miss them Looking forward to playing a different course, and a course that looks nice from the pictures I have seen.

I go by the theory if you can't read a green, hit it straight. Better than going completely the wrong way. Haha

They can have massive borrow up there. I never plumbob but i do up there just to get an ideaq which way it will go. Some look flat but swing a mile.

I'd kill to get the secret of holing a deadly downhill putt. Uphill not a prob but going down the slippery slope is a nightmare. The ninth green at Pt Augusta is a horror show if you land at the back on the high side and the pin is forward where there is a drop of about a metre or two. Misread it and you will almost need a wedge to come back

[Dutchy]

One thing I do for slick downhillers is use the toe of the putter so it doesnt come off the middle, means you can do a more solid swing and not be as tentative.

[Sky Pilot]

That is an interesting practice. I might give it a try and see what happens.

[mighty_tiger_79]

yeah downhill putts not my fav either, and i have a bad habit of slicing the putter through the ball to get it rolling!!!

A nice warm friday means less ppl out on the course!!!

[happyhawk]

barossa(nuriootpa) is a favourite course of mine, always in top nick. greens are usually pretty slick without being too quick. good value and worth the drive. played kapunda a month or so back and it is a hidden gem of a 9 hole course. 18 tee blocks which change holes completely. 9/18 is a 280m par 4 first time round from the back block then a 150 metre par 3 second time round. also a lovely par 3 over a large lake which would have many golfers concerned.

Played The Dunes on Sat and is still in great nick, greens are flawless.

After being 6 over after 3 holes ended up recovering to shoot 90 which wasnt too bad.

did the new driver get a run?

Was it windy? I've played there twice and once it was seemingly still in Moonta, yet The Dunes was blowing a gale. Haha.

I think the local council has taken ownership of the Dunes now, after the developers ran out of cash and couldn't water the fairways.

They were dry and hard but have since recovered well I hear. The greens have always been super quick and immaculate though.

I think they would just about be the best in the state.

Played Barossa (near Nuri) on Sunday. Warm conditions but it kept a lot of people off course, which is always good when you're spraying them off the tee as I was. Haha.

Had 103. Considering the way I hit them off the tee, was not unhappy with the result. Greens were moderately paced and consistent. The price was pretty good (I think about $27 for 18 holes).

Im not a smart man but why do theses developers think that they are on to a winning idea when every other similar project in SA has failed eg: Wirrina, Lady bay and to a lesser extent Mc Craken

[OnSong]

Can't answer that one for ya.
