[WBennett]

Bugger - its my last day of work for the year, and I won't be able to get out of it...

[zigwah]

That would be sweet, as the wife will be able to have the car, how far is coogee from the cbd?

I've only ever driven through sydney once on my way to the gold coast.

[Captain Nemo]

Coogee to CBD 15mins max, id get the bus though.
To NSW G.C 10 mins!

[zigwah]

Sounds good, can't wait to compare barny with NSW, will be the first course on a mini golfing holiday.

[zigwah]

CBD to NSW?

Booked a room for a couple of nights in kent st.

[Captain Nemo]

25 mins MAX!

[zigwah]

Can we hit up the practice fairway before hand Pup?

[sms316]

Make sure you go to the Coogee Bay Hotel for some gelato while you are there Zig.

[zigwah]

lol, i think i'll give that one a miss.

[zigwah]

25 mins MAX!

How much in a cab do you think Lawrence?

[Captain Nemo]

Too much!
If i get a a chance to play, might be easier to get off at my place and ui can drive you the rest of the way!

[zigwah]

No worries sounds like a plan, should be an awsome experience, thanx Pup

[Eldrick]

CBD to NSW?

Booked a room for a couple of nights in kent st.

if the ride falls thru,speak to the concierge they should be able to organize or advise the easiest or cheapest way

[zigwah]

Is moore park the best driving range near the city?

[virge666]

NSW has a driving range...

Moore Park is the only range in the city - give yourself 45 mins from the CBD or 30 mins from Moore Park.

Thanx virge, i think i will be there sometime on the 21st, so i might try and hit a few balls the day before.

Are you walking yet?

[Scottt]

Zig, if your family will be checking Sydney out while you are golfing, there is no reason for your missus to have the car, especially if you are staying in Kent Street.

[uahmad]

Wohoo.. looking forward to this.

thanks Pup!

Zig where are you coming from? I could possibly pick you up as I may be working in the morning at st leonards...

[Minor_Threat]

Thanks for the offer Pup..

Im catching up with some old mates and playing my old stomping ground "Wallyworld" (Wallacia GC) on that day.

It is also my birthday ;)

[Captain Nemo]

Zig, give me a buzz, i'll come and hit some with you!

[zigwah]

No worries mate, is moore park far from the cbd?

Also i have heard Sydney is a shit of a place to drive, more so than melb.
is it going to be a pain in the arse getting around?

Only looking to go to the golf course, driving range, eat and shop

[Sydney Hacker]

Is this from your many hours spent behind the wheel in Sydney traffic ???

[ParMaster]

I don't drive SH. Those seem to be the times when traffic is at it's worst.

[Captain Nemo]

Lawrence,

If I don't get a response by my friend by 7 p.m tonight, YOUR IN! ;)

[zigwah]

Well hell mate i can be 24 for the day :)

[ParMaster]

No you can't. :)

[Andrew_S]

Missed it again.

Any chance of another opportunity to have a hit in early Jan?

[ParMaster]

I'll be down in Wollongong for 1 week in Early Jan so unfortunately no.

Maybe if you were more active then you wouldn't miss these posts! :)

[ParMaster]

It is now an all Ozgolf day!

Lawrence your in.

Everybody good to follow the "schedule" in my OP?

[zigwah]

yup good to go, although i wouldn't mind lunch earlier say 12 then we can loosen up and get a feel for the greens a bit longer?

[ParMaster]

I'm doing stuff in the morning and won't be able to get out there untill 12:15 or so at the earliest.

How about 12:30 then? 1.5 hours is ample time for all of that.

[zigwah]

sweet 12:30 it is thanx Pup

[macjackass]

Any room for 1 more?

[KristianJ]

There'll probably be room in his next thread, whenever that is.

[Captain Nemo]

Pup, Im in!
Wont be able to make it till around 1, meet you guys on the range.
macjakass did you get my PM re shafts? (http://ozgolf.net/forums/member.php?u=541)

[zigwah]

I'm excited!!!! :)

[ParMaster]

Well good for you. :)

[uahmad]

I have a meeting out west at Midday so might not make the lunch.
Will definately get there in time for the quick range session.

Looking forward to it!

[ParMaster]

Well looks like just me and ziggy for the lunch. You fellas don't know what your missing out on. :)

Just come down to the range at 1:30 Lawrence and Ossie. I'll have your balls ready for ya's.

;)

[zigwah]

So whats the lunch menu like Pup, i'm assuming it would be pretty good at "australias most exclusive golf course"

Will i have to wash dishes afterwards?

[Minor_Threat]

So whats the lunch menu like Pup, i'm assuming it would be pretty good at "australias most exclusive golf course"

[Scottt]

"Australia's most exclusive golf course"?

It's not even Sydney's most exclusive.

[Minor_Threat]

"Australia's most exclusive golf course"?

It's not even Sydney's most exclusive.Off the top of my head Capital would have to be "Australias Most Exclusive" and a toss up between "The Australian" and "Royal Sydney" as Sydneys.

[Scottt]

Ellerston and Capital, I was thinking.

[ParMaster]

NSW is nowhere near most exclusive. Anyway just the usual. A nice selection or burgers, seafood and one or two steaks to choose from.

Ellerston would be most exclusive by a long shot. My friends just got back from playing there last friday and said they were the last people there in 2 weeks.

Anyway what do you define exclusive as? Toughest to get on? If so then I reckon Elanora would be the toughest in sydney followed by the Aussie.

Oh and zig. You don't have to do the dishes but you have to cook the food. ;)

[Andrew_S]

What's Elanora like? Does the course justify the exclusivity?

I only ask b/c I have an opp to play there mid Jan and if it's as difficult to get on as suggested, I might well have to call in sick that day...

[ParMaster]

I get to play at Elanora quite a bit and it's just a wonderful place to play golf at. The course has the smoothest greens to be found anywhere (so if you can't sink a putt here then your a horrible putter) and the place is always in the best condition. It is a true "country club" in that sense and the members are welcoming. It has a wonderful clubhouse which is just massive. Make sure to have a game of Pool afterwards on the full size table upstairs. :) They have an 'arboreum' comittee and they are dedicated to the flora at the club.

I assume your getting an invite there? You should accept it if that's the case because it's not an easy course to get access to since there are only about 300 members and invite is the only way.

It's a true hidden gem and I hope you enjoy the place.

Pup

[Andrew_S]

Cheers Pup.

300 members isn't much at all. I have an opportunity to play at a corporate day. It's not cheap and I'd have to take a day off work, but if it's as you described it, it may well be worth it.

[ParMaster]

I wasn't aware they had corporate days there.

Anyway you have to go. Also let me know what you think of the place.

[ParMaster]

Pup - 30 points.
titleist - 27 points.
uahmad - 24 points.
ziigwah - 11 points.

[macjackass]

Someone must have got there when you were on the 14th.

[KristianJ]

Was the itinerary followed as rigidly as shown?

[Webster]

[LarryLong]

Looks like Zig had a day out. :)

[Webster]

the pro shop will be flooded with gear before Christmas...

[just]

Should've stuck with Reg shafts.

[Scottt]

How stoked will Fishy be when he sees Zigwah's score!! :lol:

[sms316]

Doesn't count though. Wasn't in a comp.

[ParMaster]

hahaha **** no Kristian. Read things that piss you off thread.

[KristianJ]

Post read and replied to.

[zigwah]

Had a good day at NSW even though i played very badly, company was good, didn't get to have a practice as our host was late :( i blame pup for my 11 points ;)

Would like to play here again one day, i found it very windy, but apparently it was rather benign, im not so sure. Again the windiest course i have played, i expected faster greens at both mur and nsw was a little disappointing.

NSW was a good course, you really have to play well to score well there, you can't chop around for 36 points.

Mur was a bit scratchy with very slow greens

To all the guys i met on my trip, thanx for the rounds, i enjoyed both, very much :)

[ParMaster]

Should have had a game today instead ziggy. The greens were pretty nice because the airation holes have grown over. Nice to see you had a safe trip aswell. :)
