Stuart, Paul, Bradon, Bruce, Dick & I went out to Ivanhoe on Friday the 26th of October. It was great day for golf, no wind, not too hot & not too cold (sounds like a fairy tale 😉 ) The course was in great nick, the greens looked a little long but the where even paced & run true. The fairways were in perfect condition. One problem we all had with the course was the tee boxes. It was impossible to find a level area to hit from. The best shot of the day would have to go to Paul who drove the green on the short par 4 14th. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Ivanhoe & hopefully it wont be as long until next time. I really enjoy playing here, except of the tee boxes & the hill you have to climb over & over again, it one of my favorites courses 🙂

Ivanhoe 26th of October
Monday, October 29th, 2007Freeway on the 11th of October
Friday, October 12th, 2007John, Stuart, Dick & myself went out too Freeway on Thursday the 11th. It was a gorgeous day & we got away at 9 in the morning. It’s been a few months since I’ve played here & the have done extensive work around the course with new bunkers. They look fantastic!! I didn’t land in any so I can’t attest to the quality of the sand but they have added a number of deep greenside bunkers around the course & they look very intimidating. The fairways were in great condition but the greens left a little to be desired. There wasn’t a problem with putting, the ball rolled pretty true & even paced. The problem was with your approach shots. There was no reward for a good shot, the ball just run through the green. It was pretty frustrating. Having said that I thought the course looked fantastic & we got off just before the weather changed. With any luck we will be getting out a bite more over the next few months.
Cheers
