    Default 25 March - 13th Beach

    Heading down with the Mrs to catch a show on 26 March. Thought I might bring the clubs for a belt. Friday option preferred (as Mrs will still be working), but Saturday can be worked around.

    Bonus points if somewhere extra flash (Sandbelt or Mornington).


    Update:

    Booked 1 group @ 7:56 in the Saturday comp - Beach Course
    1. Benno_r
    2. Slug
    3. Lefty (Dark Pencil)
    4. Larrylong (he doesnt know yet)

    There are groups around us if other people want to join.

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Benno...I can host you at the Growling Frog if you want to make it out that way. The course is mint.

    Normally I might make a joke about bringing her and her friends along. But you just got a sweet HIO, so I'll refrain.

    The frog was one of the options Slug and I were looking at for Saturday.

    You'll get on no problem...if I can play that day...which I'm increasingly doubtful about...then you'd get it a bit cheaper as a member guest. But it's no problem booking a round...public course, anyone with a GA handicap can enter the daily comp.

    Happy to wait if you are....and even if I can't play, I could come out to the course to meet up with you both, make the booking...just let me know.

    I could get a group at Eastern if you are interested, long hike from the city though.

    Yell out if the Bellarine Peninsula is an option. Otherwise might be persuaded into driving across to wherever you end up.

    If that means 13th Beach, VERY solid option.

    Thanks lads.

    Ok guys, we can get onto 13th Beach Beach course on Saturday 25th, between 7:15 - 8:00. Will try to be closer to 8, but I can't hold a group without the players.

    Edit: This will be in the comp.

    So far, we have:
    1. benno_r
    2. Slug
    3. Larrylong (pencil)
    4.

    Anyone keen to join us?

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Interesting. I'll be in Melbourne for the first round of footyball on the Friday night.

    Just don't know how many I'll have in tow with me and where I can dump them while I'm golfing.

    I'll keep in touch.

    Update here - 1 grouped at 13th Beach, beach course in the Saturday comp, with 2 carts booked.

    There are a number of groups available around if anyone else wants to make more of an Ozgolf day about it.

    Not looking good. Just picked up a job in South Korea I am leaving for on Monday. Note, I have specifically requested not to transit through KL.

    Wow, Benno. As I haven't seen this development mentioned anywhere else, I guess we'll have to go off-topic (and you know how important I think remaining on-topic is) and discuss it here.

    Is the job with one of the South Korean golf academies that seem to be able to churn out players with great on-plane swings at will. I could see how they would need an engineering project manager.

    I applied for a job with a place like that. Unfortunately I had no idea how to identify swing plane, so missed the cut.

    Instead I am officially "Verification of Readiness Engineer" for the new INPEX offshore process facility, while it's being built in the Samsung shipyard.

    I have also confirmed it is not near the Note 7 battery fabrication facility.

    Do you just walk into the lunch room and ask who the readiness engineer is? When he identifies himself...

    That's a shame, but congrats on the new gig Benno.

    I'd recommend watching a few episodes of SBS Pop Asia if you need some pointers on what to expect when you get to Korea.
