    Wasn’t a fan of then but willing to see what it’s like now.

    Not sure if this really impacts you considering your attendance rate

    Most correct you've ever been. It's a wonderful track.

    It is, I love the history behind the club and what Herbert went through to route the course (with his dog by his side) when he decided to purchase this (considered at the time by the locals, channeling Shrek here) 'swamp' at Lockleys.

    I would love the club to return to the original roots of what it once was, a natural undulating dune land. Arguably the best land for golf in the CBD.

    Lets get this back to wonderful course that has been decided on in Echunder er ......... Echunga
    Now is the best time to be playing it before the rain comes and it turns to the usual unpleasant sloppy Bog Hole.

    I really need to shaft up the AMP Cell Pro's with the Modus 120's to see what the shafts are like more than the heads as I liked them with DG s200's.
    Failing that I do have another set of mint condition Titleist Blades that just need shafts in them.
    Or I could go left field and go the illegal clubs. Callaway ERC II and Ping Eye 2 BeCu (mine are legal) I need to put extenders in these to get the swing weight up though.

    I need to spend a couple of days in the man Cave.
    1. AMC Cell Pros - glue shafts and fit grips
    2. Glue up Titleist 690 MB heads with DG s300's (already Gripped??)
    3. Finish new Club Rack

    Regarding the 'inputs' above:-

    It's mainly a social outing, we can get on there on a Sunday morning, (I believe, yet to phone), very few of the usual participants have memberships/HC's anymore so this catch-up is their once a month hack, and as mentioned this is the better time of year to venture there as def not a winter venue! Also, for the northern folk, it's not 'too' far south!

    You're not a golf course architect. Maybe stick to stuff you DO know about. Maybe put your money where your mouth is and become a golf course architect, and let's see how far you go

    As for Echunda, not overly keen for the bog hole

    Cheers for the offer of lift. Will let you know if I'll take up the offer once I know if I have any after Golf commitments.

    It's looking like March 17 is the front runner.
    So far we have.
