Great course. Lots of opportunities for birdies. Accessible par 5's. Many holes you can't hit driver, but on a couple you can fly it over the trees and have some fun. Good luck to all!

Not even put the game on since finishing my rounds last week, Mrs demanded some stuff get done - which has taken the console and TV into storage in the meanwhile... uh oh! I can imagine this might be a long slog for me, it normally takes me 4 or 5 days to get used to putting again Good luck everyone, I'll try a few practice rounds tomorrow, then hit all my rounds.... could be interesting!

I am just not sure the recent wind fix is working as advertised. Nutted a driver at 100% into a 15 mph wind and landed 30 -40 yards short of two of the ghosts. Hmmmm.

Jesus just shoot me now... Put me out of my misery... LOL
Played a practice round the other and played very well.. Figured I'd hover around par or -1 or -2 for each round
Round 1: Started off well enough, Sprayed the ball all over, Couldn't find my stroke to save my life ended up shooting -1 71 Round 2: Went absolutely stupid, I was hacking my way around this course like I was looking for moles, squirrels, and possums... I mean went sideways and downhill in a hurry EIGHTY TWO score...Sheesh Round 3: Ho Hum -1 71 Final 4: Controlled the driver better, could not make a putt to save my life.. So many seemed like they dropped then popped right out for a par 72
Overall PLUS EIGHT...... LOL all I can do is laugh at myself... I know I can play this game so much better, Its like I get all nervous and start spraying it all over the place
Well at least I am in tenth *(right now)* which wont last long, but hey I can fine some solace in that...LOL
Good luck gang...Fun course... Very fun.....

Ooh ouch. I'm still stinging. I've finished with a frightening score.... I will 100% be propping cc-d up this week for sure!
Oh well, back on next week... Really liked the course though, just the odd stinker of a pin position.
I have no excuses. I have no excuses, was just totally shocking!

Very fun..... Chin up mate. Sounds exactly like my open qualifier the other week at Swindon Downs. I took an 11 on one hole cos I couldn't keep the damn ball on the green - it kept rolling back off and landing at my feet! Anyway, get back on it for next week at Hobble Creek!

Cheers Terry, ill come hobbling back that's for sure!! Swindon was, and always is a beast - I learnt that many moons ago. I love that course (and knew not to even bother trying to compete on it for the quals, due to my intense love/hate relationship with numbers) - I just hacked up Blackburn instead for no chance!
I've been messing about with my camera on the greens... Not advised if you're putting ok, or have (or like me, thought you had) found a 'method'.
All the best as always people.

I just finished my 3rd round and have improved every round. As far as the course is concerned I thought it was pretty fair (except for #9). About to play round #4.
