Played Clare over the break, was realty impressed by their greens, played at Murray Bridge in the comp lats Saturday actually played really well their them 2 new holes have a real 'Links' feel about them, when that water runs between them, they'll be tough holes to play.

Back to Mawson Lakes on Saturday started like a house on fire but ended with 36 points, 2 scrubs but, that probably tells you my handicap is higher than it should be.

Good to be back playing.


Murray Bridge with Ron Chopper?

What are you hacking off now?? 5? (Says someone off 10 :lol: :lol: )

112 off the stick at at Tanunda. 10 on the last an awful blemish to a solid day out.

I was cooked by then.

Has it improved or still dusty af up there?


Off the fairway isn't pretty, I can attest to the that. Played about 40 5 iron punches from off the green stuff back onto it. Some across it. Some didn't make it. Putted well though.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Finally played a consistent 18 holes with 15 of them being bogey or better, only one scrub on the 5th after I hit my best drive of the day :roll:

89 off the stick and 37 pts, importantly kept my lad at bay for bragging rights at home :D

How did you find the course MT? The fairways are nice but are much longer and spongy than 12 months go, greens have had a tough 3 weeks but should bounce back with less traffic.

Controversy
You played off the whites.... ;) like a kids course.... :lol:

Course.
Given the issues from last january to now, the course is still best conditioned course in the area, by a long long way.
Fairways, nice and lush.
Love the fact the areas under trees are all cleared out. Makes finding a ball so much easier therefore pace of play isnt hurt.
Greens were SLOW :shock: never ever seen them that slow.

Haha for the one extra shot you get I see no need to play off the blue tees :lol:

Yes greens were slow, seems they have put a lot of water into them and let them grow a bit more than usual. It is weird that they are a lot quicker in winter than summer.
