We had a nice hit out at Yarrabend. The course was in great nick considering the lack or rain that we have had. The flying foxes behind the third tee where the most active I have ever seen them. Normaly the just hang in the trees & smell, this time they were flying around all over the place & smelly 🙂 One problem with this course is it always gets a lot of traffic. We got held up a couple of times by the clowns in front for what appeared to be no reason at all. Even after that we still enjoyed our round, which looks like it might be Dicks last be fore he buggers back off to Old Blighty.

I must apooglize for being such a slackass with this site over the last month. With the heat I just couldn’t be bothered. Anywho.

Played Goonawarra with the RSL on Sunday & it was the exact opposite to the last time we ventured out there. Last time we got rained out, I think it was the last time it actually rained in Melbourne. This time we had a 6 o’clock tee time but the sun didn’t come up until 6:30. The front nine of the course was in pretty good nick but the back nine is a very different story. They are doing major works  to help with irrigation & water supply. It looks like they have doubled the size of the dam at least. They have also taken down a shit load of trees. All of the fairways are marred by trenches running length ways up to the green. There are still fairway for you to hit off.

Once the works have finished the back nine will look stunning. I can’t wait to get back out there in around 12 months.
