Thanks, Hux. My playing partner says that he can only play morning now, and I know those slots are scarce at Nudgee.

I actually did get in at 6:48a. I'll be annoyed if he pulls the pin now, as I would have played somewhere this morning otherwise.

36 pts with birdie on the last, not bad AndyP considering the constant drizzle, how was the course?

Stalker!!!!
Not bad. I enjoyed the finishing holes which had been completed, but there were way too many par 3s in the current temporary setup (8 in total). I'm never a fan of buried elephants in greens either.
It would be best to come back next after everything is finished.

Do you guys like the greens? I felt it made birdie opportunities a fair bit harder, as you had to get pretty close for a more straight forward putt.

I love them, after being a member there since 2004ish and experiencing 2 courses with pretty boring greens the new ones represent a real challenge in putting your approach on the proper side of the hole to make a birdie possible. I'm not saying I'm good enough to do that but I've put myself in some spots on the new greens where due to the slopes a 2 putt par from 20 feet was no bargain. It has been fun learning where you can hit it on certain greens and where you cannot.

Hopefully they don't start putting pins in ridiculous positions on 18, especially from the back tees, because I don't recall seeing multiple slopes like that on a green.

Keen to play it off those back tees, we measured it the other day and it will play about 150m normally into the prevailing northerly.

What sort of speed do they run the greens at?

You'd have to ask a local if they know a number. It took a bit for me to get used to the faster speed on the practice green compared to what I putt on in the Western suburbs.
