    My course was going to do groups of 2, but last night decided to close.
    I told my golf buddies last Saturday this might be the last game for a month.
    Bummer!

    But if you were driving, you would have to use a fore wheel drive.

    Since Covid, courses are recording record numbers of membership and casual hackers.

    I haven't played in a comp since November but I aim to get back out there soon, at least to play 9 on my own in the afternoon. I'm out near Parra so a long way from Moore Park. Have you played at Randwick? If u have a bad game u can just soak in the views.

    I play off 36, but my calculated handicap is a low 40.1! ;)

    Just straightening out my drive atm and hitting it about 200m.

    My lowest course score is 115 at present.

    Local would be East Maitland Golf Club.

    Hit this beautiful shot off the 11th at Crown Golf Club in the Hunter Valley, played to my natural slice and drive distance well!

    I once wore my lucky socks to golf, and I got a hole in one.

    My 13 yo son started last year playing social at Royal Rosnay. Cheap and good. Now, he's a junior member nearer to home.
