Talart is a member at Robe, but I haven't seen him post anything in a while. You could send him a PM?
I'm not sure when I'm working over the holidays yet, so I'm probably out at this stage

Depending on the days/dates I may be able to do a day trip or at a long stretch 2 days/1 night stay.
I haven't played Bordertown before and need to add it to my played list.

Open diary Hatch.
Staying on the farm in Mundulla or kicking back in Kingston... so it'd be whatever suits you guys.
Is there a decent country track half way between you and Bordertown we could play?

Well worth playing if you get the chance. That's where I learnt to play.

There's not too much 1/2 way. Lake Albert is a hidden gem of a course, well it was last time I played it near 12 years ago.
TailemBend has greens but it's nothing great although I've always enjoyed playing it. Keith is good and so is Lucindale. I haven't played Robe. I don't rate Murray Bridge.

Crissy to new years will be out for me....usually on holidays with family playing the riverland courses. But I could definitely be up for a trip sometime in January, not too close to new years.

My record at Naracoorte is far better than my Millicent one but I do rate Millicent the better of the two courses.
Both are great and easily of SA OzGolf Champs Standard.

I rate Mt Gambier the best of the three - followed by Millicent and then Naracoorte.
Nara is good but the front nine is far too up and back for me.
Mt Gambier takes you around some amazing undulating land, besides the first hole there is a number of strong hole runs.
Millicent has land that beats all three, soil is reminiscent of Royal Melbourne, if I was a multi millionaire I would build a resort here and turn it into a top 20 golf course

Have you played Bordertown TC? Be interested to hear your opinion of it. It's built on some decent sandhills and one if the morcoms was significant in its design.

That's a tough question. I quite like 11, a mid iron par 3 set in a pretty natural green site. The green slopes pretty severely from front to back but is a lot wider at the back with bunkers guarding the front. Can make for an interesting decision on the tee where ensuring that you clear the bunkers often leaves you with a slippery downhill putt.
4 is also quite good. Slight dogleg left par 4 where the second shot is played over a deep valley to a subtly deceptive green.
I don't think that there are any 'great' holes there but it has some interesting terrain and is always an enjoyable place to play.

Bordertown/ Naracoorte double I would be intersested in. Haven't played either of them. Stay overnight in Naracoorte.
Bordertown Open usually happens around March but will be OS then.
Once you go yellow, you will never go back
