Keilor golf course game

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……

Chirnside Park — 15 Feb ’06

Neil, Cary & Chris played at Chirnside Park on the 15.02.06. The fairways weren’t in very good condition so we had to play preferred lies. On the first 9 the bunkers weren’t too good either, but were OK on the 2nd 9 bar one hole. The ladies tees were behind the visitor tees on all but two tees which was good for me! The greens were in good nick but were hard to read.

On the 10th I (Neil) chipped in for a bogey from about 17 metres and was asked before my shot if I had my putter with me. My par putt on the 11th sat about 1cm off the hole when Cary said “oh that’s a shame” — but then it dropped in! Oh, and thanks to the person(s) before us who left an indention with the flag pole on the edge of the hole.

On the 15th on my approach shot I hit Chris’ ball with mine about 20 metres away from the green, we thougth that I had put Chris’s ball closer to the green but when we arrived I had put my ball closer to the green and Chris’s about 5 metres away from the green. Cary had 2 birdies for the day — one on the 6th par 5 and the other on the 16th also a par 5. I had 3 pars for the day and Chris had 3 as well.

I finished with 95, Chris 94 & Cary 86.
