Mmmmmmmm

[thecollective]

Nadg63: Whilst the chips are normally an 8/10 for me, the battered Coopers Pale Ale fish is a straight 10 - best ive had anywhere!

I'm a definate starter for this. Jimmy's at Port Noarlunga is the best Fish & Chips I have had so far. But always happy to try a new contender 8-)

[nadg63]

The 2 groups are already allocated, anyone else wanting to play a great course let me know as have an option for a third group.

[Wenz]

Well done guys.
Look forward to this one.

Beaut. It really is worth being a Drummonds member - I've saved way more than the cost several times over

[Hatchman]

I'm a no for that date, not that it matters much as spots are filled.

[nadg63]

I'm a no for that date, not that it matters much as spots are filled.

Only the spots I booked, option for another group!

[nadg63]

Just bumping this back up to see if there is any more interest!?

[Hatchman]

Still no for me.

[nadg63]

Still no for me.

Noted :)

[coalesce]

Maybe ask him again tomorrow ;)

[marcel]

When I get home from work I'll look in to a third tee time/chase up those on the list.

[Wenz]

I'm most probably out.
Brother has organised his 30th birthday drinks and dinner the night before this. I doubt I'll be in any shape to drive the following morning, let alone at 7am.

Marcel can have my spot if he wants.

[coalesce]

Its not too early to start tanking for 2015 champs...

[jasonb]

I started tanking on the 2nd 9 at RA, 20 points with a wipe on front nine... thought I had it won! Followed by 14 points with 3 wipes

[nadg63]

Boo, how am I going to tank for champs now?! :(

[Chilled]

Maybe we should just do a stableford round ourselves and the winner gets that box of titleist golf balls left over from RA :D

[coalesce]

There's still a couple of OzGolf stickers and stubbie holders too :) I'll bring them for highballin's new mate Andrew :)

Sounds good with one proviso. Limit of one shot from fescue per hole:)

Nope, no Comp on Sundays as their members are not interested, hence why we can get on.

With no comp on a casual round suits me nicely - might be an ideal opportunity to pull out the vintage bats 8)

Cold and windy here tonight; hopefully dies down by the morning

[coalesce]

I'm looking forward to my hangover

[highballin]

Victor Harbor wow what a great course. First hole sensational but course in general brilliant. Not overly long but a good test.

Anyone visiting SA should play Links Lady Bay, Victor Harbor and Fleurieu while on the south side of Adelaide.

Another enjoyable Ozgolf day.

Sorry TC but Flying Fish Cafe not as good as Jimmy's Port Noarlunga. Was good but Jimmy's still the best for me.

Im gonna head there next week so I too can make a judgement - As noted in the Advertiser last week there are a large number of good quality FNC joints in S.A. Jimmy's was listed alongside FFC

Pleasant day out at Victor Harbor GC today, thought we were going to get wet as it rained the whole drive there, but nope, stayed dry :)

That's about my high point of the day, played less than ordinary, though I did manage a chip-in par on one of the par 5's which to be honest was totally undeserved having been off the fairway/in crap all the way there!

Playing partners did better, they listened to my course tips, (me having played there before), maybe I should have listened to myself :(

Still a nice testing/scenic course though and happy to play there anytime.

Yep, all true! Was a bit under the weather :-)

That's just my bad posture. That was a GIR :)

Golf is a great hangover cure, plus with your head a bit fuzzy you have to make the effort to concentrate more.

It was another very enjoyable day. With the damp conditions and with the layout being tight and tree-lined, it was like playing back in the UK, and it really helped my short game - I was able to chip close plenty of times, which meant I scored well through all the saved putts (I think I only had 31 putts). I wasn't great with the 3W and I used it quite a lot, so there's still plenty more points out there!

Still, with no wipes, that's my lowest gross score in Australia - 90 off the stick (net 68).

It was also good fun watching TC & marcel hitting their golden oldie clubs. TC's copper Ping Eye 2s looked the business, and marcel was deadly with the persimmons. They both seemed to enjoy the MacGregor putter. I lost count of the number of 2 hot penalties that should have been imposed for the club swapping ;)

It is nice golfing and all, but surely you can't get double bungers anymore?

Well there was no comp yesterday so it had no effect. I only get 4 double bungers on most courses now, but I'd rather I was playing well enough to not get them
