If your going to miss, make sure you miss well enough to get to the next fairway. Nothing much good comes from missing by 5 meters.

Just got back into Adelaide tonight from a weeks golf in tassie, what courses are you playing at Barnbougal?

I think last time I played West Lakes, I went 2 fairways across....

[Dutchy]

Haven't worked it out yet, but apparently The Dunes is better than Lost Farm? Will only have time to play one but keen to play the new 14 hole par 3 course the next morning though. How did you go?

Stupid game.
1st round of club champs.

Only put my name down for today, yesterday. Wasn't going to bother as the game had deserted me.

Ended up with 8 pars. Don't think I've hit 8 pars in last 6 months.
84 overall...so 68 nett.

Royal Regency for a social ambrose.
Course is in good condition.
Definitely inproved since I had last been down there.

Interesting development going down there with a 18 hole mini putt putt going in.

West Lakes today, beautiful weather. Hit 91 off the stick, 2 triples in there but other than that it was the best Ive played for quite a while, hit a 9 iron to 2 feet on the 15th for a birdie.

Cant say Im a huge fan of the course, not much variance in the holes, bit up and back and squeezed together. Never heard so many calls of "fore"

Nice and warm morning, but it was a tad windy out there.
greens are the quickest Ive seen them, but didnt play ridiculously quick like Thaxted have done.
the fairways were lightning quick out there also, the balls tended to just keep rolling along.

Overall the game was steady, the first real surprise I had was on the 12th - Par 3 - where I just nursed a little baby drawing 8i to a pin on the back right corner - majestic shot, until it cleared the green, didnt see it bounce so obviously straight into the dam
All day long the 8i was just super long, for what I normally hit it, that really threw me out.
Wasn't a bad day with the Driver behaved itself for the most part, the only time I stuffed it was on the 11th and tried to just half swing and guide the ball, and of course it started further right than expected and trickled into the water
had a few brazilians on the greens, they were looking good all the way....

finished with a 91, 2 lost balls and an unplayable.. ffs...

Having a hit at Royal & Ancient Bundoora in the morning with the RSL guys.

Hope we get the same weather tomorrow as today. Cracking!

What a difference a day makes. Went around yesterday and had 80 off the stick. Best round ever, 44 points including 24 and the back 9 with a scrub!
Stroke round this morning, 95 and 3 lost balls.

The trip was amazing. Barnbougal Dunes was the pick of the courses, absolutely breathtaking.
Played off the terracotta tee blocks. Some picturesque holes, and a nice walk along the beach front between holes.
Lost Farm, while still amazing was easier. A lot more open around the greens and tees. Still some challenging par 3s, especially if the wind is up.

The best way to describe Lost Farm in my opinion is of you took courses like lady bay or compass and pumped them with steroids for 20 years, just on another planet.

Bougal Run was also sensational, challenging par 3s, and driveable par 4s depending on wind. About 4 of the greens are in terrible condition, a bad batch of seed or something according to the pro shop.

The 2 Hobart courses were pretty good, not sure how Royal Hobart keeps its royal title though. A very very flat, straight forward layout.

Tasmania GC has some cracking views as its situated right on a bay.

Royal Hobart sounds like my kind of track... nice and flat

Ok take 2 (accidentally deleted my own post last night) may have had a few beers.

About 30 odd RSL golfers at Bundoora (local Track) for 2nd round of club champs - Stroke. I didn't play in the first round.

I advised the handicapper my last official mark was 18, and I doubted I would play to it. So they gave me 18, provisionally.

Paired with another 18 marker, a bloke off 20, and a guy on 36. All nice enough blokes, and we had a good day. Plenty of banter about the place, guys hanging shyte on their mates. Normal golf group stuff.

Started with a triple bogey 7, double bogey 6, before a par on the 3rd hole. A horror quadruple bogey on the uphill par 3, and I am looking like a dead set mug.

The 6th hole is a straight forward, and short par 4 - 245 metres. I waited til last to hit off, as I thought, if I catch this right I could drive the hole. Started to feel like a dick standing about waiting, the group in front putting out. So bugger it I will have a hit, I probably wont make it..... Creamed it, one bounce onto the edge of the green. I had hit up on the President, Secretary & Treasuer of the club! Good way to meet the committee, umm sorry chaps. I was fined later for the indiscretion. Did make birdie here though.

Hit a decent shot on the par 3 8th, won the NTP

So despite 3 pars and a birdie on the front went out in 49.... too many "others".

Made 3 on the par 3 10th. Then another bloody 7 on the 11th. The 12th hole longest drive, miss the fairway 15 metres in front of the marker.

14th hole is nearest in 2 shots (drive & chip) Another shortish (albeit slightly uphill) Par 4 - of 315. Smash driver. 73 metres in. Flick the 56 degree wedge to 8 foot. Put the marker out thinking I had that one in the bag. Rolled in the birdie put for good measure.

Hit best drive of the day down 15 (No 1 Ranked hole) long Par 4, had 175 in still, and tug a 4 iron left, several chips & putts later I card an 8..... stupid game.

All in I shot 95 for a Net 77, so mid field.

Collected 2 balls for the NTP's. Great day out, All up $35 which is green fees, comp fees, Plus BBQ Lunch. Preso's back at the RSL, and a hours worth of "free" drinks.... Can't loose.

Back out in 3 weeks at Whittlesea (not Greg) a course I have not played before.
