WA Golf Courses

[Johnny Canuck]

Walked the course in banff where they played the skins last year or something - granted it was in 3ft of snow, but i reckon it'd be great fun.

Winter golf is a whole different story. We had two courses that would "plow" the fairways as much as they could with destroying the grass. They would also clear tees and greens. Pretty fun, but playing in -15 to -20 for 4 hours can be a little excruciating. We tried to keep it to the warm days when it was only about -5, so you could take your gloves off to hit the ball.

I don't love golf that much!

[Johnny Canuck]

You would have a blast.

[hocko]

Probably.

[TourFit]

He has no body fat to keep warm.

[simmsy]

certainly in MatchPlay tourfit would have a distinct advantage over Hocko.

handicaps are weighted (pun) as to you body fat %, Hocko playing off a 23 fit off a 2!

[TourFit]

male h'cap maximum is 36...hocko would be close to 37!!!

Look out for me in the new rankings next week...TOP 100

Ended up with 31 points, no rain but a strong wind all day. Apart from kangaroo damage on greens the course was pure, if it only it was closer to home it would be the first choice for a membership

Did you get the W Bruce?

[Bruce Dickinson]

Tied for the win in our group of 8, I made 4 on 18 and my playing partner 3 jacked for double.

Really enjoyed KB, need to play it more as its a challenge on every hole

[Golfnut]

Played it again last Thursday in similar conditions to today plus extra rain and still thoroughly enjoyed it.....I could easily play there every week me thinks.
Well done on the 31 pts Bruce.

Cheers nut, hit 3 bad tee shots which ended up lost balls but rest was okay.Can't think of any other course in Perth where you such a variety of shots, played a 195 metre par 3 with 6 iron and a 135 metre par 3 with 5 iron

[Golfnut]

THAT is what I love about KB, every club in the bag gets a swing playing there.

tempting but it still 35-40 mins from my place. Apart from that I'm not quite there yet as far as wife/work/kids/permission go. Happy to play it once a month for now.
