If any of you are keen golfers and you wander up to our wonderful Gold Coast region, post a thread that you are visiting and I would be happy to arrange a round if I can. That'd go for anyone visiting from O/S too.

Bring plenty of golf balls. :D :D :D


What the hell, if the Turkey man visits, I'd be happy to buy him a beer.

Wish you'd posted this a few weeks ago.

I was in Coolum for the Aus day long weekend.

I popped down to meet Muz on the way home.

Or is it just coz he'd whip your ass!

Oow, a couple of nasty low blows there guys. :)

Dunno about denial but I do know there's more to life than walk in the park whilst trying to take out your pent up frustration on a little white ball.

Your frustrations no doubt come about from the weather

The brilliant weather we have been having down in Melbourne means I have now hit 4 months straight without having to put the roof up. I understand the relative numbers in Queensland and NSW are 4 minutes and 4 hours respectively :p :p.

:eek:

Now that was really low! Who would believe that Melbourne would have better weather than us! Sad but true of late though!

[AusS2000]

Ummm, ditto :D

Oh, and one point your missing is that the most frustrating thing known to man is that little white ball's resistance to going in the little hole.

Once you are faced with that level of frustration, all others pale in comparison.

Actually, the most frustrating thing for me at the moment is I can't get the mongrel bloody thing off the tee with any sting at all

Haven't got a bloody clue what I am doing any more.....
:confused:

Hmmm, try a golf club :D (sorry - couldn't help it :) )

My biggest problem is findng time to get a game. It was raining on Sunday and the GF was OS, so I thought I'd head out to the driving range. There was a 30 minute wait. Seems every frustrated golfer was there to get their fix.

You tale on waiting at a driving range brings back memories of when I spent three months in Osaka a number of years ago. The driving ranges over there are open to all hours of the night so you would think you could turn up at say 11.00pm and get a spot, right?

Uh, no. It is always packed. The amazing thing is half of those poor bastards are unlikely to see a golf course more often than once every five years but are they keen! Bloody expensive though. If I remember correctly, it was about fifteen bucks for a bucket and that was years ago.

I get out every weekend (weather permitting!!). In fact, I have a plane to Cairns this afternoon and will be on the new Links course at Port Douglas tomorrow :D :D
