    Things are looking up. Not only are we back into 4 person groups playing regular comps, but now we can also share carts and have drinks afterwards. Ok, there are still some restrictions but it’s not too bad, particularly compared to our locked up brethren.

    I wouldn’t describe sharing a cart with you as things are looking up.

    That’s your loss.

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.
    Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.

    Thank you for your encouragements. Every now and then I need a good kick to remind myself to be grateful. Thankful I have beautiful and great friends like you. Love this big family, everyone is special. Hopefully Nats 2021.

    I’ve gone and bought an MGI Navigator and just want to get out on the course to “test my skill” in keeping it out of the dams at Southern. ?

    The Live4Golf tour will also play Growling Frog next year.
    Rumour is that the dams at that course also attract electronic buggies

    So Melbourne metro golfers missed out again. I didn’t expect to be able to go play my home course as it is in Regional Victoria while I live in Melbourne but would have been good to be able to get out somewhere. I went through the exercise of where I could play within a 5km radius.

    Not surprisingly I could play Northcote (less than 1km away), although I would have to dodge all the Greenies infesting the fairways at the moment. Lets face it if Darebin council have their way we will be losing another inner Melbourne public course next year. My radius just included Royal Park GC (and interestingly half of the zoo could see the big cats but not the monkeys). The other place I could play is the 3 most South Easterly holes on Northern GC after that I would be screwed.

    So if my math is right in the 78.54 square kms around my home there is 21 holes of golf servicing approximately 250000 people and yet they want to close down Northcote.

    Like you BB my course is also in regional area so cannot play.
    Your comments are about Northcote GC are I think sadly the start of things to come.
    on face book page Marrickville golf course in Sydney is dog friendly 24/7 and on Sunday’s hole 1 is closed off from 3.30pm for doggie socialising and drinks!!

    Yes BB it is frustrating and more we go through this the more it becomes clear it is becoming less and less about heath but more about politics. This is because the decisions are not making sense. And if it doesn’t make sense its not true.
    like why people can walk the course but not play course.?
    why a Lawn mower man can come to house, but a pool cleaner cannot.
    why you cannot fish in a boat in the middle of the bay or on a river where there is no one around.

    The results looks like you might have to give the Lang Lang membership away? Might have to join Cranny?

    Sadly looks that way Francie, as DANSWALL looks like being there for some time.
    Plenty of options inside 25km. such as Cranbourne, Ranfurlie, Settlers run, Sandhurst Pat river, Centenary park

    We might even move down the other side of DANSWALL next year as a good chance the same thing will happen again.

    How about you, Southern would be inside your leg rope limit.

    Yep….17 ks away but we have to wait a while for the full members to have a go before us. Only allowed 2’s at the moment so a trip up to Beacy might be on the cards?
