The Down Under thread - ANZAC adjacent

This was the same hole at the end of a long June day before COVID, apologies for the iPhones poor sunset capabilities.

Same spot, my mate trying to get out of that front left pot, not a good spot!

Played it only once. Punch 4 iron into a strong headwind. Just held the front on the green. A brilliant hole.

Such a fun little hole. I’ve had nearly a whole gamut of emotions the handful of times I’ve played it. Always look forward to it though, that’s for sure.

Speaking of intimidating holes first up. Got a very late call up to play in a Christmas 9 hole comp at WA Golf Club y’day. First hole is a 220m Par 3, with a lake left, and the driving range right.

And the same number of quite deadly snakes.

Ah my last home club in WA. Tough start in a cold winter morning out of the car park. Such a fun course

Welcome! Where are you based?

Hi all
I’m based out of Sydney.
I got sad seeing the NIT events ect are based in US and wasn’t sure if any had been organised in AUS?

Nothing officially NLU-linked that I’m aware of, but a few people have gotten out for some rounds organised through here.

Where do you play your golf?

Welcome dude. There was some (very) loose talk of trying to set up an ANZAC roost, but given the geographical issues we face, seemed a little pie in the sky. I know there are a few members in Sydney, as well as Melbourne and a couple down in Tassie. I’m over in Perth but our thread basically died when the paywall came in. Think I might be the only one left full time.

Get involved in here though, I met up with a few folks in Melbourne in late November and couldn’t have met nicer folks. Possibly looking to line up a Barnbougle trip for late summer next year if that would be up your alley.

With more members all the time and Barnbougle being a pretty perfect spot for a meet up, what is the likely demand for a two night stay in Aug/Sept for everyone? I could definitely check availability around that time and try to make it work for all players? With that lead time we should be able to source some prizes and things to make it even more fun.
@AlexJohnston thoughts?

I’ve got a wedding to go to in Mel in Oct but don’t think I could swing it any earlier. Definitely keen for next year’s Tassie trip, as would the groom-to-be!
