Great value too at only $20 a round.
What's your favourite hole on the course!
Mine would be the the 9th Par 4:
Its been 2 years since i played there, played in the 06 uni games there - theres one of the back 9 which with the out of bounds all down the left hand side? which one is that?

I think that might be either the 11th or maybe the 14th Played that exucutive par 60 course, and a shot 91. I was only 10 over through the 1st nine though, wasn't happy with finish at all.

Play is an overly nice term for my playing style but yes I hack. Getting better though, and loving it

It's north of the main course.

Golf is possibly one of the most boring things on TV - In saying that though, it is awesome on a lazy sunday arvo if you want to have a bit of a sleep, i just put the golf on & I am snoozing in 5 mins flat.
I just started playing however & I am hooked on the game. I really look forward to a game on a saturday or sunday morning. Played a few times at canterbury golf course - great beginner course!
There is nothing like pulling out the Big Bertha & crushing it 250yards+

yeh i luv it, but then i hate it at times as well, classic example a couple of weeks ago was 28 after 6 holes, ended up shooting 48 for the back 9,
there is nothing better than sinking a good putt or playing a nice approach shot, or smoking a drive 250+m. its these things that keep me playing

me and a couple of mates have just started playing so its a good laugh sometimes seeing our ball end up in the worst places. I seem to be really handy with 7-9irons. Hit allot of greens when im 100-160meters out. I have massive problems with my short chipping & putting. I shot +17 today on 9 holes & i think half of it was putting haha

I shot +17 today on 9 holes & i think half of it was putting haha I was having problems with my short game myself a couple a months ago, so I looked at the FOXsports website and looked in the Videos section of the site and come accross some very handy videos to help your golf game. Since watching the one about Chipping & putting I've cut about 15 shots off my game. example, last week had about 7 one putts & hit every green with my pitches! Well worth having a look mate if you want some help.

Touch around and on the greens is all about practice - i've found its the first thing that goes sour if i don't practice it during the week.
