I use to play comp but now cant because of work.My dads club champion but the good golf stopped at him my lowest handicap was 12.My favourite course around here is Newcastle.Favourute course in aus that I have played would be lakelands in qld designed by jack nicoulas played with mark woodbridge that day too
since last posting here i have played magenta shores down in gypo land and well all i can say is that, the place is absolutely amazing, ungelated fairways, greens guarded by 5+ft deep bunkers, it was awesome. the greens were so fast it was ridiculous.
I am playing macquarie links on saturday in sydney, hoping the weather stays glorious.
Yeah my ex used to work down at Magenta Shores behind the bar.. Pretty damn amazing course, but god-damn do you pay for it..
I used to do golf for sport when I was down at Mo-town high.. Would play the first few holes until we were out of sight of the teachers and then we would go swimming in the massive dam, collect balls and hock them back to the club.. hahaha..
I would say the best course I've played was up at Bonville, absolutely pristine course..

Seriously, are any rich people better at spending their coin than pro golfers?
Tiger flies chicks in from all over the world to **** them.
Stuart Appleby makes a ute out of a BMW M3.
Laura Davies races Ferrari's.
Now Bubba Watson has gone and made himself a hovercraft golf cart.
(Will try and link footage when I'm home)
Deadest legends
But with his propensity for being wayward off the tee a hovercraft golf cart ain't gonna help him much at all.Quote:

I've followed Jarrod Lyle and his story since my early teens. I played a lot of golf when I was young and this guy, very early on, put the game in perspective for me.Quote:

3 shot lead going into the final round of the Tour Championship and a string of getting his name on the leaderboard and it is safe to say it would appear the Nike Sex Addict is back
Cant understate this enough but for this bloke to get back to being a gun golfer again is one of the biggest stories ever considering all he has been through
Hopefully he can get that trophy tomorrow morning
amen.Quote:

How this bloke hascome back from 4 years in the wilderness after countless back surgeries is amazing
This is a greater comeback thn the day Floyd Landis temporarily turned the Tour de France around years ago
The Ryder Cup is so much better on European soil, as the dickhead Americans are the minority.
mind, they still are loud enough that you can hear their dickheadness, but its mostly tolerable.
Hazard scores again.
Aye boys what’s the good word? Anyway got some new wrenches this week looking at getting back into golf, what’s the bets course/options for a bloke who would like to ply in some competitions but mainly social and get a handicap?
I ride past East Maitland and Beresfield quite often and they look pretty good for a hit. Haven't been there for years but Morrisett used to be a nice course as well.Quote:

Newcastle is expensive and takes a bit of effort to get a game there - Steel Works has mozzies that could bring down a single engine Cessna.
Charlestown was designed by goats for goats. It's horrible.
Merewether, I've never played but most golf tragics I know don't rate it very highly.
Sugar Valley is another that's pretty easy to get a game at - short course, very tight...from memory but haven't been there in maybe 30 years.
Cockle Creek / Waratah is probably my favourite course in Newcastle. It's got some great par fives and very fun par 3's - and in general not overly expensive.
I've never played any of the resort courses around the hunter or Port Stephens so others would be better qualified to provide info.
If you want to join a club and play comp, Merewether have some really good packages there designed for most peoples likes/budgets. They def have the most 'younger' players so you dont get stuck with some old fossil enforcing every unknown rule every week.
For a social golfer Waratah is fantastic and is possibly the most accessible to get on at a decent hour.
Dunster is pretty spot on with the rest of his descriptions (I like Merewther though, its fairly narrow and the par 3s are trickier than they look).
Also, get on any and all mailing lists you can for golf shops/companies/courses. the valley resort courses have specials all the time if you can get 2 or 4 players on a weekday it's a fantastic day out for a decent price.. Make the loser the designated driver and get on the piss while you're out there.
Royal Toronto is my course of choice locally, pretty casual and cruisy there not like the stuck-up c*nts I've experience at Waratah. Seriously it's Argenton not Augusta.
Toronto has improved heaps over the last few years but still some work to on a couple of holes, however $13 for 18 holes after 3pm can't be beat in daylight savings. Did hit my first ever hole-in-one on the 15th there the other day as well :cool: :fap:
Shortland Waters is meant to be re-opening soon and is now my closest course to home so might have to check it out.
My old man is a member at Shortland Waters, i play most times i go back up to Newy.
Membership is reasonable but they're in a bit of financial strife with the Aveo thing so keep that in mind.
The new holes they've put in are completely different to the rest of the course, almost like links. no trees, windy AF and a total blast to play, breaks up the round a bit
Mosquitos weren't too bad this summer but it didn't rain much until recently. probably horrific at present
I play the resort courses with my old man once a month, Kooindah Waters after it's been raining was torture, one of the toughest joints i've ever played. had a ball though hahaa
Found this site listing all the hunter Golf Courses with a bit of a write up on them.

Bloody hell, congrats man!! That's massive..Quote:

I'm in the process of organizing a season launch/Golf day/luncheon for our Football Club at the moment and to say that these guys have been really helpful is and absolute understatement.Quote:

No great start up fees
You turn up
You play and you pay
Semi competitive which will help you get to grip with rules scoring etc
If you like it that much then go join a club
Interesting Dunst listed Morisset but not Toronto. I had always vibed around this area that Toronto was supremely better out of the two.Quote:
