    Default Returning to golf after few years out

    Good evening all.

    I have done it. And returned to playing more than just every now and then. I had to take some time out because of family/work/ plus to many soccer injuries creaping up on me


    I have again returned to this amazing forum and look forward to catching up with the awesome content.


    SA hills based and hacking around once again.



    Cheers all

    I live in Nairne. But have played oakbank a few times but my favourite places to play are Echunga and Ashbourne.

    Ashbourne is a lovely place to spend a few hours.

    Nice one! I've still yet to play Ashbourne, one of the few in ADL area I haven't played.

    Wowzers that sounds awesome. I have trouble hitting new ish clubs. But old hickory flex would be something else

    Welcome back Duke, many moons ago we had a game up at Ashbourne and it was a lovely setting, some good holes but also some interesting ones as well. The lunch was also pretty special being a British style roast.

    Not sure when we are playing again but keep an eye out for it.
