Stan, Garrett, Dick & I trundle off to Goonawarra on a gorgous morning. I started the day with a par, & Dick in his ever positive frame of mind said “It can only get worse from here”. The next two holes proved him right, Barstard 😉 But the real story of the front nine was Stan. He was on fire!!!!! He played the best golf I have ever seen him play, he shot 3 pars & a birdie, & was fantastic to watch. On the holes he didn’t birdie or par he was hitting clean, great shot, just slightly misdirected 🙁 At the end of the day he finished with 5 pars & a birdie. Garrett & Dick both finished with a par a piece which was pretty good going considering the heat.
The course is in fantastic condition considering the water restriction that are now in place. The fairways are lush & the greens are green (funny that) and quick. One thing that was a pain in the ass, when we finished the front nine & made our way over to the 10th tee, there was a sign saying closed for watering. It was closed for a couple of hours so we had to play the front nine again. I wasn’t overly fussed, I had played here a few times & so had Stan. But this was Dicks first time there & he was a little dissapointed not to play the full course.
