Already firing “Hey mate” out there!!! Practically a local
As long as he doesn’t try a “g’day mate”. Have yet to hear a convincing one from an American. My wife ESPECIALLY included.
Damn, that sucks man. Hope you get them in hand soon enough. Hit us up when you do & we’ll get something lined up.
I do my best @TheFifth not even going to try a g’day, one step at a time
Feels like there would be multiple refugees in WA willing to lend a set for a ‘welcome to WA’ round of golf…
I have a spare set of irons but a) they are an inch or so extended and b) the PW is bent after an ill-conceived punchout shot right next to a tree trunk…
Played El Caballo y’day, always a fun time. If you are in control of your ball off the tee you can score as it’s not overly long, but if you get out of position it can really eat your lunch, and some of the greens are diabolical. Played a very low key match against a mate and threw mulitiple holes away, as I SUCK at matchplay. Managed to make 5 on the Par-5 14th hole which may well be the dumbest/hardest fucking hole in WA though. Absolutely nowhere to miss.
Noted
My vanity cap hurts me. As does my very erratic driver, questionable course management, and the short game that is usually okay seems to go walkabouts whenever it’s “you have three shots to win from the fringe”
You well know the non-existent state of my game at the moment so I’ve no doubt I’ll be buying the beers more often than not in a couple of months!
Let’s hope they don’t only serve VB then.
I assume a Kiwi would bring Speights with them whenever they travel…
Haha, don’t you start. As a lad from the central/lower North Island, Tui was my local beer. We left the Speights for the southerners.
Being that I have moved past Tui and am now an obnoxious early-middle-ager who takes expensive golf trips, I cannot wait to get stuck into the Melbourne craft beer scene.
Good choice… Bro… lololol
It is the Bledisloe season, so can’t be held responsible for those ones.
Craft beers are absolutely everywhere now, so I am sure your hosts along the way will supply you with plenty of very worthy options.
Any chance you wana hop across the Bass Strait end of November to join us for a couple of cold beers?
Do I want to? Of course.
Am I likely to earn enough husband points between now and then. Very unlikely.
Are you making a journey to Barnbougle any time soon? I am much more likely to get a day pass to drive there and back for a laugh.
No plans for Barnbougle as yet, but it’s very much on the list. May hold off on it until 7 Mile Beach is finished and try get STEEP on a Tassie golf trip.
@chairman is heading over in December though I believe. No idea if he even logs in here any longer, but hopefully he sees this and can hit you up.
I will be getting my mail sent to 7 mile beach from the opening day, so I will obviously see you there. The end of 2023 can’t come soon enough!
Clubs have arrived and more importantly are in one piece, hoping for a break from this rain to start getting out on the course!
Any interest in a hit on Friday with @TheFifth and myself? If you wana DM me your mobile number I can loop you in on the WhatsApp chat, too.
