NAGA, TROG, whichever…. with this farknarckle WHS system putting me of a Hcp of 15, I’m a shoe in.

Sunday comp is usually off the yellow tees, so if there’s not much wind (which BOM is forecasting right now) it plays pretty easy. Not so easy off the blacks…

Some tips for first time visitors:

* There’s no driving range, however there’s a couple of warm up nets around the back of the club house.
* Many of the greens have a fair bit of slope and they break a lot. Holes 1-5 are the old greens and are usually a bit slower than 6-18.
* Don’t hit a high slice off the tee on 7. You might kill a gerry on the balcony of the IRT retirement block of units.
* The rough is pretty much non-existing so if you’re going to lose any balls it will be in the dams or on the beach. 😉
* There’s no half way house, if you want to get some refreshments we pass by the club house between holes 5 and 6.
* The holes farthest from the club house have a very nice view of the waste water treatment plant and the Port Kembla steel works. 😉 However, the views from the 2nd, 3rd, 13th, 16th and 17th tees are to die for. Golf doesn’t get any more “Linksy” than that with the beach right next to the tee box.
* And most importantly: After the club house renovations there is an excellent selection of craft and domestic beers on tap!

Looking forward to it!

15 ? Your GA?
Mine is 15.7 which means I could be off 19 depending on tees we are playing ?

Fark… yellow tees has a slope of 122 so I’m off 14. As it has a scratch rating of 69 vers Par of 70, you will be off 15 or 16 at a pinch.

Ooops…under the new system I went from 15.4 – 16.7!!

Just did the calculations..16 for me off the Yellow tees…party on!

Fuck me….that’s “Outrageous”!!!!!!

I agree. Gets to “test” on one of the best courses in Sydney each week, doesn’t play in any comps and then goes to a sprayers paradise like Wollongong, a bit of water, no rough, can be 2 fairways away and still hit the green, beach only comes into play if you have a bad slice or rope hook on a couple of holes (neither are in his game) and gets to play off 16… Pfffft, should be off 12.
