[Jarro]

i'll head down your way before i go to NZ in March Trungo ole mate

i've still gotta get over to the USA sometime next year too .... looks like a busy one

A mate of mine from the states bought a house/condo there. He raves about the place. He's planning on retiring there eventually. Not sure what the deal is with his place, but I think it's rented out through the resort for golfing holidays such as yours. Want me to see if I can get you a deal?

Mt Hutt ski fields are quite close too. Good fishing in the area and plenty of mtn biking and tramping to be had. Should be a fun trip.

[Jarro]

thanks for the offer Dion, you're too kind

turns out one of the guys thats going (the guy thats organising everything) has a bro-in-law that has a mansion of some sort right near the course. He'll be away O/S on business, so he's agreed to let us use his place for 4 days ...... pretty big place too apparently

Yep - though we played on a day when it was 15C, raining and blowing a gale! So we didn't enjoy the course that much - but mightily enjoyed the clubhouse!

The course has spectacular views and very well maintained. I don't remember too much besides the fact I was frozen to the bone (and it was January )

Leave yourself plenty of time to get there - we found that there were virtually no signs directing the way and it took us 1 hr from Christchurch.

What other courses are you playing? If you are heading to Dunedin, I recommend Chisholm Links - it was the course we most enjoyed playing at it was only $15 after 2pm on a Saturday!

Yeah... and what he said....

Scary thing is - I read it and knew exactly what he was talking about!

[Jarro]

thanks for the info Amanda ... i can't wait to get there

What other courses are you playing?

as far as i know, we'll be staying at this course, and i think the plan is to play a 4 day comp there. Not sure if we'll be going anywhere else ... other than in the car sightseeing i suppose

That could get expensive since it's $110 a day!

You'll find that even the cheap local council tracks are really nice - heaps of rain & sunshine, none of them look bare!

If you are inland from Christchurch around the Methven area, check out the Rakaia River - great fishing and jetboating.

The whole area is bloody unbelieveable. If you've got the time to get to Mt Cook village (3-4 hours drive) - DO IT! You go past Lake Tekapo where there's the most awesome church (never thought i'd ever say that?!) - The Church of the Good Shepherd. It's a small room on the edge of a brilliant blue lake and snow capped mountains. Has to be seen to be believed.

You neglected to tell us that - is that because you are trying to hide your shame? Are you in fact -

A KIWI?!

HI there

jarro, did you end up playing this course?

Wonderful track. Amanda's spot on about the views from the clubhouse. It's a bit pricey but worth it I think.

The tenth is a great par 3. The views down the gorge are great.

Reg.

[Jarro]

no Reg.. didn't get over there after all

will try and get there one day as i've heard from many that it's indeed a great course
