    Default TPGC - Sunday Jan 20th

    Two groups for Sunday 20th January. 7.07am and 7.14am.

    DO NOT be late as busy as hell after those times, (social group booked in and the above times were all that were available)

    Not for me - I'm playing at Royal Blackwood on the preceding day. That will do me.

    Webster, Thaxted is an interesting club.
    They struggle for money, but always have a membership that enjoy playing, invariably with some good young juniors.
    There are some ordinary holes (due to the land) but there are a number of good holes - moreso than the neighboring metropolitan clubs. Conditioning is variable due to water issues (might be better now) and clay soils. Greens have always been interesting. I'd rather play at Thaxted than at Flagstaff - much better routing.

    It isn't worth a special visit though

    I came third in a Thaxted Park Cup in about 1976.

    For me the good holes start when you get into the valley on the back nine. #12 is my pick of the bunch, but like Sandy Creek #1 (now #3 with the stupid new routing) I have no idea why the club didn't follow the lie of the land and put a small undulating green in the back right hand corner as opposed to cutting a flat disk at the top of the ditch

    Played Blackwood the other week, how amazing would #15 be if they moved the green further up the hill and to the left, there is a pocket of land there that you could squeeze a green into and would bring the dam more into play

    At this point in time the groups are full - 7 yays, 1x dark pencil, plus an 'interested'.

    Bomber55:- if you do want to play then you can have my spot, I'll just venture out for a walk (doesn't bother me, done it plenty of times before)

    The back nine is pretty good (except for the uphill 11). In America, they would describe the creek as a barranca.
    The front nine has good holes, but the uphill 2/3 are always a problem, and the downhill 5th (6th?) has never really worked for me - I haven't seen the latest 'road hole' version.
    Thaxted always encouraged some 'ground game', with interesting greens/surrounds and limited bunkers (a good idea given the very heavy soils which make creating interesting bunkers difficult and expensive). Firm greens and surrounds with some undulation make for interesting and inexpensive golf.

    PS I think Thaxted was routed by the same person who subsequently routed Coomealla near Mildura - Hartley did the greens but not the routing.

    PPS I'll show you the Clayton/Cocking/Sloan Blackwood masterplan from 2005 one day TC. Some of it went into the ground, but some was binned. Pity.

    Give yourself an upper cut Benje for mentioning Commealla and Thaxted in the same breath.

    Last time I said I was interested I finished up in hospital. Guess what? Tomorrow will be my last game for quite a while as my surgeon rang on Tuesday and has booked me in for the 15th. No golf for at least 3 months. Have fun guys.

    Ross Putland routed both courses. Coomealla has better soil and better water availability though.
    I think Ross was involved in the admin at Marino GC back then (1960's, 1970's). Marino is now The Vines.

    Long range weather forecast is looking good for next Sunday boys, mid 20's and not the 40's we are getting at the beginning of the week.

    I re-gripped the Cobra Persimmon 2 wood and 4 wood ready for the day.
    Taking the odd numbered vintage Titleist irons 3,5,7,9 Wedge and Sand Iron
    Also found the Ping Anser 4. The Grip is completely shagged but no full swings are required (it's not chipper ) so it will do for the day.
    Anyone have a second hand Ping Man Putter Grip they want to move on?

    Now all you need is a balata ball.

    Or I can try and find a glitter ball for you.

    Looking forward to giving the Koooch putter a run for the first time on Sunday

    He won on the weekend so hopefully that is an omen

    I'm on Arvo shift this week. I could pick the clubs up one day on the way to work (Wed or Thurs works best) and drop them off the next day if that's ok.
    Cheers for the Grip.

    Yep, but if people would prefer to cancel it as some didn't want to go there in the first place then I'm fine with that. After all, I'll lose interest after 3 shots anyway ..............
