@OnSong

What sort do you have? Also what Loft is it?


I have an R11 and have changed the face position to try and correct my slice.

I have a Nike VRS 9.5 degree with a Fubuki stiff shaft

[OnSong]

With the club head speed a young fit guy like yourself probably generates, you should have a stiff flex stainless steel shaft and 9.5 loft IMHO.

Nailed it.

Golfers of SA Footy.

I have an invitation for an Open Day at Kooyonga on Sunday September 15. Must have a handicap and prepared to part with $65 (Half Price Green fees if you need to justify it to the department of finances )

Onsong is in and there are 2 spots left to form a group. Let me know Gentlemen and we can talk turkey to get a full group of 4 gracing the fairways of this magnificent course.

What does the handicap need to be?? lol

Official as far as I can tell. Entry Form does not state a limit on the handicap apart from the obvious maximums under the rules of Golf.....

I play off 18/19 and Onsong is high 20's I think

[Dissident]

How does one get an official handicap? I have a handicap on GolfShot app

So basically I'm joining a golf club in NSW so I can get a handicap and reciprocal rights?

And a Golf Link number, yes. On the cheap too.
I pay about $400 annually for full membership at Balaklava, wouldn't find many metro clubs around the joint cheaper than that.

So if you're not playing every week etc, no point in paying full membership somewhere if you're not getting bang for your buck.

add about $1000 for Metro clubs and that only gets you West Lakes, Flaggy, Mt Osmond and the like


For Kooyonga its $2.5k per year plus $6k joining fee. On the plus side they let you pay the joining fee in installments over several years

[Dissident]

Was thinking of joining Highercombe.. $570/year for full 7 day membership, and can direct debit
Only 10 minutes from home

You like playing golf in Mountain Goat territory?

[Dissident]

It's great for the legs!

[Dissident]

But yeah, pay each month rather than all at once... 10 minutes from home, nice course, and sub $600...

I can get in 12 holes after work during day light savings too.
Yes it's a hilly course but still nice =)
