Neil is having his birthday on the 13th of June. He has decided that he would like to spend the day playing golf. He has also decided that he would like to play at Yarrabend.
Leave a comment on this posting or send me an email if you would like to join Neil on his birthday, it doesn’t mean we have to let him win.

We are off to Yarrambat on Saturday the 27th of May for a round of golf. At this stage we have booked 2 groups of 4 with the first tee time at 9:44 & the second one not long after. If you’re interested in coming along please leave a comment on this posting or email me at: cary@golfinmelbourne.com
I’ll need to know by Thursday the 25th if you are coming. Let’s hope the weather is good!
Neil & I are heading to Strathallan for an afternoon 9 holes. We will be there at around 3 o’clock. All are welcome to join us. Let’s hope the weather forcast holds true. Add a comment or email me if you are coming along.
It’s time we started to get some input in regards to our end of year trip. What we are looking for is ideas on where to go & when people are available. At this stage we have pencilled in the end of September but this can change if more people can’t make it than can.
As for where to go we have a had a couple of suggestions already. One idea is to go back to Cobram but this time play the two course at Tocumwal.
A second idea is to go to Echuca & play the two Rich River courses.
The third idea is go up to Bright & play a couple of the courses up there.
We need your input on this people so please either leave a comment on this posting or send me an email.
We had a nice group that made it out to Hidden Valley. In the end we had 7 of us that could get a Thursday off work. Colin unfortunately was called away at the last minute & couldn’t make it. Trevor thought that it was going to rain & decided not to come, bad call Trev. According to the weather forecast today was supposed to be a shocker for golf, but as is the case with Melbourne forecasts mean nothing. We had a gorgeous morning for our early tee time. The sun was shining & even with Stan putting the moz on us, the wind didn’t get up toooo much.
The groups that played were Stan, Michael, Ian & Neil with Shane, Mick & myself in the group behind (for the front nine). The course was in magnificent condition, the fairways were lush & after a days rain the greens were nice & soft.
The closet the pin comp was taking out by Mick on the 9th (jackpot of two holes) & by Ian on the 18th (again a jackpot of 2 holes).
At the end of the day we all had a ball, Hidden Valley is one of the best courses that I have played. The staff are fantastic & so is the course.
When it come to scores, I’m not sure what the story was all I know is I won with a 91 ; )
GolfinMelbourne has a great relationship with Hidden Valley & we will be continuing this on Thursday the 20th of April.
This will be an early one with the tee time being 8 o’clock in the morning. We have booked for two groups at this stage so let me know if you are in.
Justin out at Hidden Valley has done us a fantastic deal, send me an email if you want some details.
For our members that haven’t played at Hidden Valley, I can’t recommend strongly enough that you join us for this round. It is one of the best courses in Melbourne. The par 3 18th would be one of the best finishing holes in the country. So take a day off work & get your butts out to Hidden Valley.

Ok, I’ve made a booking to play out at Growling Frog for this coming Saturday–which is, perhaps appropriately–April Fool’s Day! Tee off is 10:23am. You have to pre-pay to get on here, so let us know before Wednesday lunchtime if you want to come along and we’ll sort out the details. Should be a great round, so don’t delay.
Neil is arranging a round of golf at Ringwood on Thursday the 16th of March. If you are interested in joining him please leave a comment below or email me at cary@golfinmelbourne.com I’ll be there, if not sure if that is a positive or a negative ; ) The plan at the moment is to book in for a morning round, about 10 o’clock or so.
Cheers

My good friend Marty has joined the party and put out a blog for his local golf club based here in Melbourne. They are also extending an open invitation to Golf in Melbourne members to join up with them on their annual golf trip — to Tocumwal in 2006. Details are on their site. Deposits are required by 1st March so if you’re interested, better get in quick.
I’ve also added a link in the Blogroll!
