St Andrews Beach

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

Neil Matt Trevor & myself headed out to St Andrews beach. The last time I was here we played in possible the worst conditions I have ever played in. This time it was perfect. Bright sunshine with little to no breeze. The courses has some amazing holes, like the approach to the 3rd & the 18th that are some of the reasons I play golf. Perfectly manicured undulating fairways, well positioned bunkers, tough greens, some of which have more twists & turns than a rollercoaster. It was a great day out, none of us covered ourselves in glory, but we each came away with a couple of holes we were happy with :)  We are so spoilt for choice for brilliant golf courses in Melbourne, so of the best sit on the Mornington Peninsula. I highly recommend to everyone to head out there for a round of golf. St Andrews Beach costs a bit more than some of them you may be used to, but there is something for everyone out there.  

Yarrambat with the RSL

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

Headed out to Yarrambat with the Epping RSL on Sunday. 9 am tee off which is quite a respectable time for them 🙂 Played a varation on Stroke called Par, which is basically a plus if you go under par on a hole, a minus if you go over & a 0 if you par it. First time I have played this & didn’t have the best of days. Still waiting for my handicap from the club as I took a year away from them so I was playing off scratch, it didn’t end well 😉 I still counted stroke so I could put in a card but that wasn’t pretty either. The course is in pretty good nick, with the fairways having a good covering & the greens running true. Found myself ion one bunker & the sand was OK, nothing special but nothing wrong with it either.

Next hit with them I believe is Heathcote, which will be a bus trip leaving bright & early from the RSL. If you want more info leave a comment or drop me a line
