Barnbougle
Laem Chabang Thailand. 27 holes, think we played Mountain and Valley
Kooyonga
Montgomery Links Vietnam
Glenelg (biased but incredible condition now its finally finished)
Royal Adelaide
Lake Karrinyup. great facility but the course was a bit eh. More roos on the course than Lady Bay somehow for a city course
Lost Farm (it was blowing 900km/h, unplayable but could see how good the course is)
St Andrews 2000 Thailand. 2 par 6's playing 900 yards! was an experience
Siena Golf Club Las Vegas. Wish I remember the names of the other courses we played on that trip


On the wish list, would be happy to get through Glenelg's reciprocals plus the obvious ones (Royal Melbourne X2, Old course, Augusta, Pebble)

Love the suggestions up in Asia, a golf trip up there is definitely on the cards

I played waterside, plantation and, I think, rolling hills

Bisque Par Saturday on Green Keepers revenge day.

Played pretty solidly, I hate Bisque Par. Add to that some pin positions 2x Mowers and a Gator parked in front of the 3rd green, no pin on 6 and the hole actually off the green on 1 hole! it was a good fun day.

Finished +1

Pennant Practice last night (just 9 holes as we run out of daylight)

Dormy 4 up and won 1 up on the 9th

Defiantly hitting the ball really well at the minute and I'm soft capped the highest I've been in 2 years. No complaints here

Dutchy wrote:Robe GC yesterday, been blowing a gale all week but yesterday it lightened off, no comps so had the course to ourselves, course broken into 3 x 6 holes sections - Ocean, Dunes and Town, 1st 12 holes on the new layout and last 6 are the old school original holes.

its fantasic for a country course, had some port fairy vibes, nice wide fairways however as soon as you go off them you pay the price with ball eating shrubs, very strategic course to get the ball in the right place, not overly long, be interesting when very windy.

96 off stick, only one lost ball and 28 points, very enjoyable round.

Playing the 12 hole chook run on Friday

Watching Hannah Holden play Robe on YT.
Looks like a fun course

Liquor industry golf Day yesterday at Royal- West End Cup

Golf was shit house, bloody tough conditions scratched my way to 30 points, the wind was that strong I used driver on the par 3 (12th I think) and was still just short.

I was easily 'Best On' for outside of golf activities, Robert Oatley wines were the sponsor, and I gave it a nudge after 123 beers on course.

Headache this morning, nothing new here, although not normally on a Tuesday......

Great Day
