Xmas hols golf in the SE

[Lagerlover]

Will be looking for a couple of games between Xmas and mid Jan around Bordertown, Naracoorte or Kingston.

Anyone?

[coalesce]

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 :(

[Lagerlover]

Someone recently mentioned the possibility of them playing a Bordertown event in January, can't remember who though..

[Hatchman]

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.

[Lagerlover]

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?

[hippo10]

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.

[Chilled]

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.

have to do Millicent!

[Hatchman]

have to do Millicent!

Millicent is a very good choice.

[Lagerlover]

Yep, second only to Naracoorte

[Hatchman]

Yep, second only to Naracoorte

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.

Not sure that's exactly a good endorsement or not!? :)

We could play Thaxted Park then talk low std [emoji3]

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

[hippo10]

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.

[Lagerlover]

What's your favourite couple of holes hippo?

[thecollective]

Hippo; I have never played btown but have heard lots of good things about it

[Lagerlover]

Have you heard that no one actually calls it btwon?

[thecollective]

Have you heard that no one actually calls it btwon?

Just trying to hype the thread with some Gen Y grammar

[hippo10]

What's your favourite couple of holes hippo?
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.

[wazamac]

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.

[Hatchman]

Woohoo.5 more sleeps and I'm on my way!!

Any particular dates for this game?

[Lagerlover]

Open diary boys

[Hatchman]

What dates are you down the SE?

[Lagerlover]

25/12-08/01

[Hatchman]

Apart from the public holidays I don't have any time off so that leaves Fri 1st, Sat 2nd or Sun 3rd as best options for me.
We had a very brief discussion re: day trip or 2days 1 night stay at the Vines the other week.
I know some weren't keen on the long drive for one day but that doesn't bother me.
It's most likely going to be a day trip for me as the funds have taken a severe beating with some un expected bills. Have done many a 4 hrs drive and play and drive back home for golf over the years. Happy to take a couple of passengers.

Only thing now is to choose date(s) and course(s) if anyone else is going to stay overnight?
I take it Sat & Sun is the preferred options?

[3Puttpete]

Benno_r wants in. Seems he's in the SE

[Lagerlover]

Happy to play wherever Hatch.

If no interest from others, what about we play that Lake Albert course you mentioned?

[Lagerlover]

Naracoorte/Millicent/Bordertown/Keith can be left for a proper OG getaway some other time.

[nadg63]

Happy to play wherever Hatch.

If no interest from others, what about we play that Lake Albert course you mentioned?

Reputed to be a very nice course. If carts are available and the dates are good I may even make the trip!

[coalesce]

Still waiting to find out when the other half is working to know if I can get away. It would be day trip only for me if I can do it

[nadg63]

If Lake Albert is the go then it's an easy day trip, we used to drive down there just to go fishing.

[wazamac]

Never played Lake Albert. I'd be in. Officially the I shut the factories from 24th to the 18th but I will still be in and out with work. Can work around any dates though.

did you take it out of its frame to take that photo?

[Hatchman]

Lake Albert is a great layout and a hidden gem. Back in the late 80's early 90's they had some of the best quality greens in S.A.

Not sure on what cart availability would be at lake Albert if possible at all?
Not if the club house would even be open on a Sunday either?

[wazamac]

It's a date. But where's the nearest schnitty?

[wazamac]

This is why I took a photo of it. Didn't want to risk breaking the glass in the car.:D

[coalesce]

If I could find where I safely stashed it, I'd take a photo of my participation certificate from SA Champs

[Lagerlover]

Haha..

I've got spares

Not sure what the rep of the Pub in Meningie is. Many years ago it was a bit dark :wink:

We locking in the Sun 3rd at Lake Albert.
What time we aiming for?
It's a 2hr 15min drive for me, getting up at 4:30-5am is not an issue for me (just like a day shift week ��)

[Lagerlover]

I'm good for whenever. According to the map I'm one street away.

Just need to keep the ocean on my left.

[coalesce]

If I'm honest, teeing off at 9-9.30 or later would be as early as I'd be able to motivate myself to get out of bed.

[thecollective]

sorry guys, too far for me and timing not good (back @ work next day 4/1)

[nadg63]

sorry guys, too far for me and timing not good (back @ work next day 4/1)

I'm back on the 4th too, not an issue tho.

Time wise, anything up to 9am!? (in case of another heat wave passing through)

I'll book a cart once tee times are confirmed.

Btw: carts are available.

[Hatchman]

sorry guys, too far for me and timing not good (back @ work next day 4/1)

I can give you lift mate, it's not a problem.

[wazamac]

I can pick you up Nadj if you want.

[Hatchman]

Which way would you go, highway or ocean/coorong rd?
Lots and I mean lots of wild life along the ocean rd. Dawn and dusk the high risk times.

[Lagerlover]

Pelicans and aboriginals?

[Lagerlover]

Was planning the coorong if we are in Kingston, highway if we're in Mundulla.

[Hatchman]

Pelicans and aboriginals?

Could be some of those too.
Last trip I did along there saw a very large count of dead Roos, Wallabies and even a couple of dead Deer. I was shocked at the high numbers.

[Lagerlover]

You certainly sound rattled.


















(thanks for the heads up)

[Hard_Pan]

I'm going to be staying at Hahndorf that night and Meningie is only 1 1/2 hrs away so I'm able to join you guys (unless you've got a foursome already). Let me know.

[Lagerlover]

Country course HP, groups of 5 and 6 not uncommon.

[Hard_Pan]

Ok.. Well I'm available and keen to try this course as I've been to Meningie many times but never played golf there.

[Hatchman]

Country course HP, groups of 5 and 6 not uncommon.

Yep, can't see it being a problem. First couple to hole out go to the next tee and hit off and it's still almost as quick as a 4.

[thecollective]

put me down as pencil for now - missus will have to suck it up :mrgreen:

[nadg63]

I can pick you up Nadj if you want.

Cheers, want to share a cart or prefer to walk?

Certainly lots of dead roos normally to be found on the side of the road! When we used to go there fishing, Carp, (Pommie thing :) ), we always knew if one of the guys was ahead of us as we'd normally spot a dead roo with a leg missing - he used to have his own bait 'farm', (maggots!), so he'd take a leg home for that! Yeuch.


I'm going to be staying at Hahndorf that night and Meningie is only 1 1/2 hrs away so I'm able to join you guys (unless you've got a foursome already). Let me know.

Could be 6 or so of us at this rate so a couple of groups.

The foot is DOWN :)

[Hatchman]

Ok all, how does 9am hit off sound or do we we want to aim for 8 or 8:30am? Just thinking of the travel time.
I've possibly got the furtherest to go @ 2hr 15min according to google maps (it took me longer than that to get to the Victor round in S.A Champs) and I'll be fine with 8am if that's what we want.
Hoping to have the details sorted in the next day and half so I can give them a buzz this Thurs at the latest.

Nadj, might share the cart if nobody else wants it. My foot is pulling up reasonably well nowadays so not fussed either way.

[coalesce]

9 is ok for me. It's a 2hr drive for me too and not keen to start earlier as I have things on the night before.

Did the Mt Gambier run from Gepps Cross straight off a 12hr night shift. Finished work at 6am, showered at work and jumped in car and straight through to Mt Gambier golf course for midday tee off. Was 2 over after 12 doing it easy then hit the wall finishing 9 over. Very disapoint and very tiered.

I called up today to book us in. They have nothing on and nothing booked in so they said just rock up and play.
Have been told Club House won't be open and like all small country towns use an honesty box for green fees so bring $25 cash for that.

It's most likely going to be mid 30's temps so bring some drinks. I'll bring a large esky with some ice to chuck your drinks in to keep them cold.

[Lagerlover]

Excellent.

Thanks Hatch

[nadg63]

So definitely happening? If so I'll see how I go about getting a cart when the club house etc is not going to be open!?

Guessing there must be somewhere we can go afterwards for a drink/food if wanted?

There's another contact number for a different person to who you ring for bookings on the web page to ring about Golf Carts. Possibly a member that loans his or some out (just guessing)? Give him a ring mate and find out what the deal is?
I'm sure something will be open in town for food & drink (Schnit?).

It's likely to be a cool 35degrees so you can play drink cart wench between picking up early on bad holes ��

[Lagerlover]

Boys,

I've somehow hurt my knee. If no one else has put their hand up, I'll jump in with Nadg.

[Lagerlover]

If someone has, can another cart be sorted on my behalf please?

Boys,

All good, Waza would have taken the spot if vacant but happy to walk so all good LL, it's yours. We'll make a right pair, knackered knees all round! (I had both of them playing up over the weekend, twisted the right one trying to give the dodgy left one an easier time - duh!)

[Lagerlover]

Thanks mate.

I'll make sure I bring waz something nice

[Lagerlover]

Any of you blokes got a really cheap buggy you've be thinking of getting rid of?

Nephew's vintage pilgrim buggy finally gave up the ghost the other day, they're doing it a little tough and I wouldn't mind finding him something.

Great turn out and good to see everyone again, really enjoyed the hit today. Very interesting course. Tough greens, grass wise......some good risk/reward holes.....but overall most holes were interesting in some way or another.

I'd play there again given the opportunity.

[Chilled]

The scenic 18th right dogleg with the lake in the distant background....

39154

....and the Percival Pelican cup winner with 32 points, coalesce!

39155

[Hatchman]

Had great day, well worth the 2hr drive. Good to catch up with all.
Got off to a great start with the flirty Tanya at the Tailem Bend Shell Roadhouse. Got the first birdie off the day with a topnot bouncing off the windscreen right in front of TC just after the Meningie turn off.

Well done to coalesce on being the inaugural winner of the Mr Percival cup. I needed that birdie on the last more than just for having two in a row that I knew at the time.

The layout off the course is fantastic with plenty of variety and better than I remember it. The greens grass is much different to what I remember thou. At a guess I think they've lost the fight to maintain good quality fine left grass greens and have gone to a course leaf couch. This made them a little fickle to chip to and putt on. Puting a good roll on the ball is the key to stopping the putts from bouncing a lot and wandering off the line.

Thumbs down to the Meningie Hotel for not having any Chicken Schnits or Coorong Mullet when we checked in for lunch ��

[Lagerlover]

Good day boys. Appreciate all the travel made by all.

Great course layout, different grass on the greens and it would be spot on!!

[nadg63]

As per previous, good social day out playing Lake Albert Golf Course at Meningie. Weather wise it was sunny, not too hot with an occasional breeze. Was good to be having a hit again, albeit having to use a cart, shared with LL who'd also managed to hurt his knee - a right pair of cripples! Not sure if we'd overdone it over Xmas but the cart cried enough at the 15th green requiring a quick call to the office and a replacement being sent out. Cheers guys, enjoyable day.

39156

[coalesce]

An enjoyable day all round. I actually enjoyed the drive but then I guess the novelty of Australian vistas of salt lakes and green/gold hasn't worn off yet still!

I started with 2 pars on my way to 18 points with 2 wipes on the front 9. Choked a bit on the back 9 - another 2 wipes and some scrambles for 1s on the back meant only 14 on the back

I actually didn't mind the greens and although different, I didn't think them any harder to putt on tho I did have one change direction off the grain at the last minute early on so just decided to putt the break out on any shorter ones after

It was definitely a little gem of a course tho. With 5 par 5s and some varied par 4s there was plenty to think about. 4 of the 5 par 3s were a little samey tho - varying only by about 20m with the same layout. Would definitely go back tho!

Finally thanks to Lagerlover for being the instigator of this - without you we wouldn't have played there at all!

[Hatchman]

The par 3's are as follows:
3rd 145m
6th 160m
9th 170m
12th 130m
14th 160m

Agreed 4 of the 5 play very much the same and is a small weakness in the great lay out.
The 3rd and 12th are the best of the 5. The 3rd while shorter than 6,9 & 14 plays the same as those 3 as the green is very elevated from the tee block level making it easily 2 clubs more than the yardage. The 4 greens all have dead ground in front of the green making a full carry from tee to green important.
The 12th is great par 3 with it's long skinny bunker protecting all of the left hand side and some of the back and the drop off dip on the right hand side. The green is tiny and is an upside down saucer. Combine this with the exposure to any breeze/wind off the tee and it's no snack. A bit surprised that it's rated the easiest hole on the course.

Not sure if they do club member statistics to rate their holes but I found the easy ratings of theses par 3's a bit odd and in contrast off 7 I have shots on 4 of the 5 par 5's including indexes 1&2.

[thecollective]

Agree with Hatch; besides the fantastic 12th the par 3's were like deja vu (elevated tee, downhill bunkerless green). Reminded me a little of Murray Bridge. The 6th and 9th were so similar I checked with Lager to see if we were playing the same hole.

The undulating sand belt land was a great site to see - when you have such good land and soil it is very easy to carve a good layout and they have certainly done that at Lake Albert. I was a big fan of holes 11, 12 and 17 plus I like the change to #1 with just the one tree as opposed to an overflow (ala Tanunda / Victor Harbor) strategy that stifles the hole. I thought the Par 5's were all a tad too long in length with no real short one to encourage club/handicap golfers to reach in two.

Big thanks to 'Hotpants' Hatch for the lift and Lager for getting us out into the country. We should do it again sometime soon. Perhaps a Waikerie trip should be put on the cards again.

[Hatchman]

I think a day trip to Waikerie some time during the year is a must do.
It's 2hrs from the City and an easy drive down the Sturt hwy.
Waikerie is another great layout with better conditioning than Lake Albert.

I'd have to go to the bakery just for the alliteration

[Lagerlover]

I was asked why I didn't bring any pies back when I got home.

Least no animals were harmed in my trip. PETA have been informed, lesbians on the way.

So I trust you've reported the white jacket wearing imbecile at the Meningie Pub for not carrying enough chicken schnitties??

[Lagerlover]

Still can't remember butterfish/Jew/mullaway ever being thinner than the breaded coating.

Or the schnitzel with more moisture in the batter than the bloody gravy

You're schnit was battered?

[thecollective]

It was crumbed with a shiteload of flour

[Lagerlover]

I have an old Pilgrim copy he can have.

Hatchy,

Handed this over this morning, and the young bloke was absolutely beside himself.

Thanks once again.

Wouldn't that be a rhyme?

Crumb coating was not adhered very well to the schnit, it fell to bits when trying to cut. Schnit was on top of chips and pepper gravy had no heat what so ever. It was a 4 maybe 5 at best.
Just for the record a score of 3 would result in not bothering to eat it all.


The Pub is on the Schnit Sh!t list along with Schnit House. Their Schnitzel frying cards should be re-voked

[Lagerlover]

I'm not complaining, it was nice to be able to sit inside.

Excellent, happy to help.

[coalesce]

Possibly. It could be both consonance and assonance. It isn't alliteration because the first letter or the first letter of the first stressed syllable isn't repeated. But the joke doesn't scan as well then

Please forgive him, he's still classed as an alien :).
At least another 5-6yrs go or full acceptance of FUIC for that to change .

[Lagerlover]

Played Naracoorte Friday, couple of the greens a little stressed, but fairways in great condition 11th still my favourite ..make the trip boys!!!

Bordertown's greens in best condition I've seen them, though off fairway is still and always will be dead and buried.

Heard Millicent has had to pull their water back at moment and some parts are struggling a little.

Didn't get the clubs out at Kingston, but that was looking pretty green from the road.

Over and out.

I believe there are BOLOs out for him in most states these days. He has to keep on the move.....
