Out - wife's Birthday

I respect 8:30 is reasonable considering the drive but if 8 is doable I would be keen for an earlier start.

If not 8:30 tis, just probing for an earlier time

Pencil. We often have a family catch-up on this day. Will confirm closer to the day.

How about you Nadg? You up for some Lady Boy action?

Haha - as it happens I just logged on to the forum to post here! As much as I detest the place, (well the back 9), I am contemplating this BUT that week is set aside to decorate the lounge so I won't know for definite until closer to the day.

What don't you like? I've only heard good things

Front nine is good, traditional links style - then you cross the road and you're suddenly transported to another course - long and boring. Nearly always blowing a gale, regularly raining, it sucks Mt C is WAY better.

Pencil... yeah, back nine pales in comparison to the front. Also can't imagine walking the back nine... but that's likely in my head due to the feeling of it being so long.

I'd also be down for an early start like TC.

The back 9 still has a couple good holes. I always enjoy playing there apart from the yum yums eating my ball a few metres off the fairway.

I think we lost 4, but found 6... winning.

There is a hole on the back nine that goes over a hill and sweeps right back down a hill to a shared green (can't recall which one... 13?) which suits my low slice perfectly!

Re: Lady Bay GCA back nine, my thoughts...

#10 is a great hole, you need to position your ball relative to where the flag is situated, too long and you can be in a trap with a tricky second shot. A rare exciting uphill shot. Graeme Grant did an amazing job with the bunkers, particularly on this hole.

#12 could be great as a risk reward Par 5. If my playing group is interested I will show you where the Par 5 tee box should be located and we can even play the hole from there (I do this every time now), the tee shot is much better from there.

#16 would make a great short Par 4 from down the hill over the creek as the tee box

#17 is a great long Par 3. Really depends on the wind what club you take and rewards a shot that does not balloon past (what I call) the 'equator'.

#18 is a good Par 5, the more left side you take on the more you cut off in terms of distance, that shot to the back flag is daunting, a great finishing hole.

TC

#11 is a great second shot, but the tee is in the wrong place and/or the shot point land has been mounded all wrong.

14,15, 16 are reasonable holes, they just don't fit with the previous 13 holes.
That means you have lost 'the vibe' on 17 so miss a good hole.

The other issue is that by the time you play the back nine, the wind is up and it is easy to get depressed.
Might be a better nine if it was the front nine?

Benje: I agree with #11, that tee shot doesn't look quite right. #13 is not a bad hole either but the OOB line is a little strange to get the best angle, good green though

#14 I just don't see the incentive to hit it over the bush along the OOB line, not enough reward for the line of charm

#15 too uphill for me, the green is somewhat blind to me feels like a hit and hope shot

#16 the worst tee shot on the course, layup just short of the bunkers with a blind second over a bush, or once again hit and hope into the valley (lots of bad bounces down there). The double green is good, it's just a really awkward tee shot from the top of the hill.

Ok everyone it's Ladies day at Lady Boy on Tuesdays from 8-9am.

You called for early I've gone early before the hen house tees off.
I've booked 2 Groups from 7:05am
Cart has been booked for BYU
They have a Comp off the White Tees for those that wish to play in that (I'm in for the comp)
$55 for the round, $7 for the Comp, $40 for Cart

Looking forward to this until I plug my 3rd ball into the face of a bunker like last individual round.
F9 dud Driver will be staying home for this one.

[BobsYourUncle]

Early start but that's fine with me. Thanks for booking.

[thecollective]

Need to watch out for Cows and Ducks on Dairy Flat Road at that time of the day

Thanks Hatchy... early start should make it easier for me to attend.

[nadg63]

The verdict is in - I'd rather paint/decorate than pay $55 to trudge around there, so out for me

[Hatchman]

Any inclusions or update on those in pencil?
