Goonawarra 15th of February

Stan, Garrett, Dick & I trundle off to Goonawarra on a gorgous morning. I started the day with a par, & Dick in his ever positive frame of mind said “It can only get worse from here”. The next two holes proved him right, Barstard 😉 But the real story of the front nine was Stan. He was on fire!!!!! He played the best golf I have ever seen him play, he shot 3 pars & a birdie, & was fantastic to watch. On the holes he didn’t birdie or par he was hitting clean, great shot, just slightly misdirected 🙁 At the end of the day he finished with 5 pars & a birdie. Garrett & Dick both finished with a par a piece which was pretty good going considering the heat.

The course is in fantastic condition considering the water restriction that are now in place. The fairways are lush & the greens are green (funny that) and quick. One thing that was a pain in the ass, when we finished the front nine & made our way over to the 10th tee, there was a sign saying closed for watering. It was closed for a couple of hours so we had to play the front nine again. I wasn’t overly fussed, I had played here a few times & so had Stan. But this was Dicks first time there & he was a little dissapointed not to play the full course.

Yarrabend on Australia Day

Neil wants to celebrate the anniversary of our countries birth by playing golf. Let me know if you are intested in joining us. We don’t have a tee time as yet, Yarrabend only take bookings one week in advance, but we are hoping to get out as early as possible. For those of you who aren’t sure, Australia day is on Friday the 26th of January.

Eagleridge on the 6th of December

 

Hi everyone. My birthday is on the 6th of December & I decided to play golf, big surprise!!! I finally decided on Eagle Ridge which is down on the Mornington Peninsula. We are trying to arrange to borrow the van from work which seats (correct me if I’m wrong Neil & Ian) 8 people & room for club’s as well.
You can check out the website for Eagle Ridge here http://www.eagleridge.com.au/ but it isn’t all that helpful.
To the cost’s. The round will be $43 for the golf & if you want a cart it will cost $45 for two people. The carts have a GPS system onboard which tells you how far out from the green you are.
I’ve made a booking for 8 people & 4 carts at this stage for 9 a.m. which means we will have to leave around 7ish (again please correct me if I’m wrong). You don’t have to have a cart if you don’t want to but please let me know when you confirm you’re coming.
I hope you can make it, talk to you soon.
