The Down Under thread - ANZAC adjacent

Like that. Cheers man… if she gets the gig i’ll get her to pay for 18 holes for us :wink:

can confirm Nest gift has made it to Wellington, NZ. I really like it - though it’s gonna take a lot to get my YOTB marker out of my pocket (shoutout @MG82)

Same here for the marker, although the gift still hasn’t landed in Hobart…

We were thinking about sending them all to me to then forward to you all internally, so I am glad that didn’t happen to delay all the joy! ( and spoilers)

Recieved mine in melb, have a complex now that my head must be bigger than others as its a pretty snug fit - probably no chance im putting it on top of a cap :confused:

Ok happy to try add this - some recent family visitors from Scotland visited - what they liked about melbourne was they got the big city holiday (edinburgh doesnt have the skyscrapers), but an hour from the city we were in the yarra valley which they loved, and then another day an hour and a bit and we hit the beaches at Mornington peninsula (they arnt golfers unfortunately) which they loved as well - and the comment was 'you get all this so close together, normally its one of them then travel further for the others. Anyway, thats what they said.

Ive got my tickets for 3 games of the WWC in melb, will still be looking for other games if the times work.

Never understood the beanie over the cap thing. Maybe because if it is cold in Melb then its gloomy too, rather than cold with little cloud and sun.

Was the same until a very cold day where sun was still an issue - now I do it a lot in winter.

Are you planning on heading to the LIV event at The Grange when the circus rolls into town?

I was planning to, but just had a look at tickets and Sat & Sun have sold out. I’ll have to go on Friday then

Like actually, legit sold out?

Bet it’s some bullshit early allocation of like 100 tickets so they can say “SoLd OuT” then boast about popularity while jacking up the price of the 45,000 unsold tickets for the next release.

This is on the website. I have checked the site a few times but this is the first I’ve seen a waitlist

But I wouldn’t be surprised if its a load of crap and if you do register for the waitlist you get a ticket no probs

However there was a story on the news last night about hotels doing a roaring trade at the moment with the Fringe Festival, AFL Gather Round etc coming up and they also mentioned that bookings were way up for the Saturday of the LIV event…maybe its legit ?

Have you tried WESTWOOD25 as a coupon code? :wink:

LOL, nah doesn’t work

Reckon there’s a high chance that registering with your email means you’ll get spammed with Trump fundraising emails in the not too distant future

Nah. You’ll get contacted by our own special brand of grifters and frauds

got mates who are members at The Grange - they heard sales were legit off the charts, they also didnt need to get them on the sale as members are given some

Pretty sure they said it was a 5 year deal for SA to host as well, with 3 years being at The Grange

Got a tee time at NSWGC tomorrow and couldn’t be more pumped.

Posting here because the ten minute, one way conversation with the wife as to why I’m excited, it’s place in the golf landscape etc didn’t quite give me response i was hoping for!

What time are you off? I might be out there to try to sort my pitching out.

Course is absolutely PRIMED and the forecast looks perfect. Nor-Easter is a fun wind.
