Yeah thats the one0

I also managed to play three more courses whilst down here - Moonah Links, Eagle Ridge and St Andrew's Beach (all in the peninsula area to the south of Melbourne.
Every single one of them was abolutely outstanding - far, far better tha any course I've played in England. Challenging layouts - but not ridiculously long, beautifully kept greens, curtains and fairways, friendly staff and the green fees are ridiculously low compared with what you'd pay for a similar course back home.
Loved the course at Moonah - second only to Kingston Heath for me. I'm considering moving down to Oz just for the golf!0 -
Lots of unused beautiful courses in South Australia. I played everday for 3 weekwhen I travelled from Melbourne to Perth.0

Sergio Garcia, I think I love you0

Literally just taken up the sport. Had 3 trips to the range and have had 1 lesson so far. Got a couple of lessons lined up for next month, plus going to try and get to the range at least once a week. So hoping to be in position to get on a course in may.0

Have never known weather like this! Managed to get out last Thursday for 36 holes in a warm up before our Surrey 5s match which got postponed due to snow! Have got addicted to The Big Break on The Golf Channel - compelling stuff. Down to 14, without playing a shot in January - damn rule 23.0

Top class from Sergio!0

Took way too long to get it down from there :-)0

that was a better connection than most of my tee shots0

Played Darenth valley today (badly).
Christ it was cold.0 -
Haven't played since I got back from Oz - only one trip to the range too. Game is going to be in piss-poor shape (worse than usual!) for my next round in a couple of weeks. That's providing, of course, that it ever fucking thaws out.0
-
Played the Edinburgh course at Wentworth today. Only hit one fairway with my driver all way round...must get back to the driving range!0
-
Has anyone played at Barnehurst since they've done it up? If so, any good? I keep meaning to get over there, I like the idea of the new first hole going down the hill.0
-
I was a member there until 2005 & don't think I've played it since. I've heard they've made lots of changes.....so, where is the 1st ?RedPanda said:Has anyone played at Barnehurst since they've done it up? If so, any good?

what were the conditions like ? I'm not dearing to get my clubs out until the suns out and teh grass has started to gfrow but I would imagine Wentworth would be ok (although they park on the edinburgh course when the PGA Championship is being played on the West course)Athletico Charlton said:Played the Edinburgh course at Wentworth today.

1st at Barnehurst is a completely new par 3, pretty tight and plenty of trouble left or right. 2nd to 8th are same as before. 9th has been extended to a Par 4, with the green the same as before in front of the clubhouse.0

I thought they were remodelling some other holes as well, like planting trees, new bunkers, etc. Either way it's good that they have a proper range now.

The course needed a lot of changes was a shithole when i played there years ago the bar is all new now but years ago it wasnt any better than my garden shed.0 -
Perfect conditions and no one playing. My fav course at wentworth I think but it is certainly better insummer when in full bloom.golfaddick said:

Went to the range today for the first time since getting back from Oz. Game in pretty good shape - watch it fall to bits as soon as the temperature rises enough to bother playing.0

The 9th was always a par 4.........fairly short at around 250 yds, but then all the holes were pretty short.
When I first played it in 1995 the 3rd was a par 4, but tee shots kept hitting the house on the corner, so they put the tee further down and made it a par 3.
Then, just as I stopped being a member, they changed the 1st from a par 4 to a par 3 (i think) and they doing work to change the 2nd and 8th............

Never seen the point of being a member. Same course all year seems boring. Anyone know of any good deals doing the rounds at the minute?0
-
Played for the first time this year, turns out Barnehurst's driving range is over a year behind schedule. Given that and the wind, an inconsistent 84 was alright.0

Played Toot Hill in deepest, darkest Essex on a society day on Sunday. Lovely course - in pretty good nick considering the winter. It was blowing an absolute gale - went round in 90, which was pretty good considering.0
