Neil & I went out to Bundoora for a bit a of tune up for our end of season trip. Nobody else was interested & Trevor had to work. Shane gets a left off because he wife just gave birth, as far as excuses go that one is pretty good. GolfinMelbourne & all it’s members would like to wish Shane & Steph & little Tyson all the best.

The day couldn’t have been any better. Perfect blue skies no wind & around 20 odd degrees. Golf weather at it’s best.

To the game. Today would have to the best I have seen Neil chip ever!!!! He had one chip in & three or four that went with in a bees dick. He’s short game was looking fantastic, not good news for those of us playing up at Tocumwal in a couple of weeks.

My game was a little hit & miss. Thankfully I only three putted 2 or three times which a vast improvement over the last time I played. My drives still don’t like the fairways, the have a tendency to get as far away from the middle as possible.

The course was in fantastic condition. The new fairways at Bundoora have come in quite nicely. There are a few bare patches & a couple of spots were the weeds are coming through but all in all the place is starting to come good. The greens were a little hard to read at times but they run pretty true if you got them on the right line.

The cost of the day was $22 for the 18 holes was isn’t too bad at all. There were quite a few people about today, one thing that was a bit annoying was the when we finished the 9th there was 4 groups starting off the 10th. The groups in front of us were more than happy for us to play through. The whole point of them starting off the 10th pissed me off a bit.

Today was a fantastic day, it’s days like this that make you really enjoy getting out & playing golf. Bring on summer 😉

Cary, Dick and myself ( Neil ) went out for a game of golf today at the Keilor Golf Course ( 07/09/2006 ). On our trip out there it  wasn’t looking to good , less then halfway there it started to rain but by the time we got there it had stopped. We desided to play and when got to the 2nd or 3rd Tee it started to rain again, well it was more like a drizzle. This happened on and off during the day, in total it rained for about 6 holes out of the 18 that we played. All in all it was a good game. It’s not a challenging course but it’s an enjoyable one to get out and play for a friendly game, laugh and a geer or more. On the front 9 the greens had just been aerated and a fair bit of sand dumped on them witch helped with your putting, thats what I think anyway, Iwas 2 putting and the odd 1 put instead of 3 and 4 putting. Once again I will have to appoligise for my language, but you should be use to it by now…. The fairways where in good condition, and the greens on the back 9 were in good nick, especially after all the rain we had. All in all we had a good day, enjoyed our round of golf  in good company. I would like to also mention that I was the only one to get 2 pars for the day, but of course I am not one to brag. On that note I look forward to meeting you all on our next round of golf……
