Bunkers and water - boo! From what I've read it sounds like it ought to be worth the drive at least.
Most people I know who have played it love it. If the water hazards don't play with your head they won't come into play unless your quite errant from the tee. Years ago hole 2 had a green that sloped from back to front, if you hit it past the pin you were dead, now they've flattened it making it a 2 tier green. With no head wind, 4 iron or with some breeze I choke down and hit an easy 5 wood. If you use some clever course management you save yourself a heap of shots.
Can't help you there I'm afraid, a course I have never been to!? (though Ozgolf SA were meant too ........................ hmmm )
I did see that thread - but only after I joined.
I'm trying to play as many courses as I can so I can choose one to join, get a golflink handicap and start joining in some OzGolf comps
If Gawler is good, its another tick for Fleurieu (which is closer for me, but a reciprocal for Fleurieu, amongst others...)
Last time I played there was an ozgolf day, course was very good. In fact it was a good day.
I think it's the sort of course which needs a lot of local knowledge , the more you play it the better you get.
From memory I was in the trees all day and struggled .
Sounds like we could get a few to an ozgolf day at Gawler ?
It was a good day weather and company, greens were very fast that day , course was in good nick ! Its a great setting for sure.
We did notice that no locals hung around for a beer afterwards though.
And you weren't in the trees as often as i was LOL
I'd love to get down there again but got no hope untill about Oct or Nov now.
Kunkie and i were going to go down a while back , (Oz golf day) but he got caught up in that big fire up Pirie way it got to within a k of his place
and i was on stand by with CFS in-case we had to go up there.
Everyone brings happiness to my house,
Some when they arrive and some when they leave.
Sa champs!!!!! Plz someone organise
What sort of comp? Maybe handicap stable ford ?
20$ in the pot and divide amongst the winners
Hmmmmm, reckon an SA Ozgolf Champs could be a goer!?
An entry fee/prize pool and played to Stableford would be the way to go ............................... so get those handicaps sorted guys!
What format though? Having had a squiz at the interstate Champs it would appear they play them over a couple of rounds, keeps you in with a shot if you've had a crap day during the 1st round. Would you want to play the two rounds over a couple of weekends OR play it over two consecutive days - for example could play a Saturday round at Mcracken, then Sunday at Victor/Goolwa/Mt Compass etc, (people could then make a weekend of it and book accommodation nearby)
Give me some feedback via this thread then once I have something to go on I will start a dedicated Ozgolf SA Champs thread
PS:- Would probably be looking at Sept/Oct onwards ...................... !?
I guess it depends if we want to attract people from outside SA to come and stay in which case you'd want it to be 2 over a single weekend?
Personally either works for me. Even a single round champs works as a start - depends on interest and how high we want to aim I guess!
Haha I will definitely be there then.
