The national tomorrow

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Off the back markers it had a slope rating of 150 odd.

Was rated toughest course in Victoria (maybe oz) when slope ratings came out.

It's a great track.
Some great par 3s

Enjoy

I second this.

The Par 3’s are a highlight.

Think i played there some 20 years ago or something. Maybe 15. Anyway, sorry cant remember anything about it.

Are you doing this?

Eagle Ridge Golf Course | Mornington Peninsula

Welcome to Eagle Ridge Golf Course. A Top 100 Australian Golf Course located on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Great for Golf and all your Functions.

www.eagleridge.com.au

Booked it online. Might need to ask about this pie business when I'm down there

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Had 34 today with 3 wipes. One was a second shot into green that just missed right but do you think I could find it?
Mate was in pair behind me and yells out to me whilst I’m on the next tee holding up the ball asking how the hell I couldn’t see it?
Was 5 metres to the right of the green I’m going ****ing blind!

Me too mate. Unco and forgetful as well.

 

[Lebbo73]

Doesnt matter how you win

I told him I’ll watch while you take them down on Sunday.

 

[peternorth]

Played the Old again today. 30 points. Walked and carried thy bag.
Played another 9 holes on the gunamatta course after. walked and carried. social.

 

[Niko_52]

Just saw this on a fb group. Thoughts? Heading down tomorrow down the peninsula to play. Surely they cannot try to enforce this

 

[Lebbo73]

Went and played on a little course out in the sticks today at Goombungee Golf Course. It was cold, windy and I had half my normal handicap. First hit with my new irons and driver for a respectable 28. I hit a lot of good shots. Foreign course cost me. Geez the face on my new irons are hot.

 

[Quokka]

Best ball, Aussie vs Irish with three mates at Meadow Springs, Mandurah WA. Ended up drawn on 86 so no one's turning pro (there wouldn't be 10 rounds between us in the last couple of months) but plenty of laughs and a very good day had by all.

I know the police went to Northern and were policing social distancing, location ID etc and it’s a fine for the club and the individuals for any breaches.
This included groups of two standing on the tee with other groups of two etc but warned first without being fined.

Intersting, its causing waves at the clubs i frequent, given most members are from melbourne.

I think if youre a member of a club thats many many kms away and can prove it, its ok.

In addition, say in my case if im pulled over by a cop and asked why no play at local course, my answer is "ok, im a member down here....and ok if you want me to play at my local public course then i am taking the spot away from someone who legitimately needs it.

If you’re a member in the restricted zone of a club in a restricted zone but not where you live it’s fine so long as it’s not outside the zone obviously.
For green Fees players not so sure I think you can be in strife.

i liked this bit:
2 people should be playing a hole at any single time

so wait for the group in front to finish, then tee off? haha

Do they think the virus will chase you down like on Evil Dead or something like that?

Get the binoculars out to see if they have finished playing the long par 5 in front of you

what if its a dog leg haha

 

[peternorth]

Look, it's been a stressful week or so for us golfers. Stress and worry about lockdown here in Vic, where can we play? So to lighten the mood, this was found in many places on bigfooty

This is not great news for the high end public access courses on the Mornington Peninsula.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

New update on Covid Safe App alerts you when group in front finishes hole. Get on board.

 

[hawkman]

What happens if you hit your ball on to the next fairway?

 

[Niko_52]

Drove down and played Eagle ridge today. No police checks on the way down. No police checks on the way back. Clubhouse didn't ask what postcode we came from either (Eastern suburbs fwiw). Great course really enjoyed it. Started par,par,par and sadly from there it was all down hill. Still a great day out nice and sunny down there. Course is in great dondition

 

[Pklz]

I am a member of a golf course 30 kilometres away and there is a public course around the corner from my house, am I allowed to play golf at the course 30km away?

Also, it sounds like most clubs are shutting down competitions again. I assume this is only for the metro melb and mitchell shire.
