    Hi everyone,

    Last year I had my first proper seniors moment: chatting with mate at the pub I was adamant that I hadn’t played at Kooindah Waters. He then proceeded to show me a photo of me at Kooindah Waters on his phone (ball about 6 inches from the cup on 17th which I thought I’d hit on the 4th at Hunter Valley). So I decided that I really needed a way to remember the courses that I had played, and decided to start collecting the ball markers for each of the clubs.

    I’ve collected a few since, and decided to make a display for them. So I made a thing.

    Now I’d like to go back and collect some of the markers of courses that I’ve played (that I can remember) and that I’m unlikely to get back to. So just wondering if any of you are members or play at any of the courses listed below and would be willing to send me one, I’d be eternally grateful. I can Paypal you the cost of the marker, postage and a beer for your troubles.

    NSW
    Terry Hills
    Macquarie Links
    Twin Creeks
    Stonecutters Ridge
    St Michaels
    Riverside Oaks
    Monash
    The Coast
    Randwick

    QLD
    Palm Meadows
    Noosa Springs
    Brookwater

    VIC
    Albert Park

    Many thanks in advance.

    Can help you out with the Stonecutters one. Join us for the Nats in October and you can collect the Terrey Hills one yourself.

    Thanks to both of you.


    @madam
    I imagine that none of them would be particularly bothered with the hassle of posting a ball marker for a couple of bucks profit. I figured I try crowd-sourcing first.


    @commish
    that sounds great, never thought I’d get another chance at Terry Hills (was a coporate day last time and I’m no longer in that world). Do I need a proper handicap to play? DM me your payment details and I’ll send you some cash and the my deliver address.

    I’ll worry about that when I get it. Might be able to scramble up the Twin Creeks one as well and if your really lucky RSO.

    So I couldn’t figure out a way to edit the original post, so I’ll have to do this as an update. With the assistance of the wonderful Commish, the display is starting to fill up a little bit now. Thanks so much Commish, really went above and beyond the call.

    If you speak to Comrade Barneski nicely, he may be able to get you Terrey Hills (if you can’t wait until October) and Monash, his workplace isn’t too far from either of those.

    Thanks Commish, happy to wait for Terry Hills, I should have taken that off the list. I thought I saw somewhere in here about playing at Elanora, that course is on my bucket list so if that happens I’ll pick up Monash whilst I’m in the area.
