Yes.

OCM did the greens.

Conversely if you have decent pitching technique far more things can go wrong when the ball is on the ground (particularly on municipal courses)

amen brother

I stand corrected. Richard Chamberlain design drew it up and Golf Shapes is doing the works.

Dickie Chamberlain is great. You'll end up with a good result there Bicco .

When's the work scheduled to be completed?

Chipping green, 7th hole, 8th tee completed and in play by October for club champs. First of many stages. Whole course will eventually be done.

The guy that did the work there is doing the work here at Royal Hobart. I'm hoping that the changes feel, look and play seamlessly at Victoria?

Victoria is bloody amazing, it's got better.

Amazingly I had 4 eagle putts yesterday that i created
1 - par 4 - 4iron onto green
8 - par 5 - driver 7 iron
9 - par 5 - driver 3 wood
18 - par 5 - driver 8 iron

Didn't make 1 of them, closest was a 25ft putt

What were the greens like to putt on? Did you need your level spin to hold them? Were they super quick?
I'm not sure I want greens like National/Moonah Links that are green concrete. That's my only fear with the works going ahead.

Tom Doak doing your da Victoria playing some courses. He went down to Port Fairy and then Peterborough. It's ok his Instagram . What a life.

The greens are still new they were not the quickest I've played on but they had 20mils of rain the day before.
Wind made it hard to judge spin to be honest.
Subtle breaks, hard to read but I rolled perfectly.
Give them 12 months and I they'll be the best

It's a hole where if you draw your driver and carry a pot at about 240 you get 280 easily due to run.
Cut a 3wood onto the heart from about 240

Pure distinction greens are fab-u-lous. Not concrete like at National. Roll so true, yet lush and nice to look at. I havent played Vic for around 8 months so can comment on what theyre like now. i think its 8 months. But if theyre gonna be like peninsula, look out!

Saw him on the weekend at national. Playing the renaissance cup

 

[peternorth]

Peninsula-Kingswood today. Just a joy despite some patchwork needed on one of the holes. A birdie here, par there. Just fun golf. Scored excellently.

Sounds easy when you say it like that.

51 strokes from 9 today first time at Spring Park. Lots of sticks and stuff on the course and the greens are patchy so I was pretty happy with that as a first time on the course.

Today chipping was good, putting was acceptable but tee shots were awful. Chunked a few, sliced a couple, probably only hit 2/9 where I wanted to.

 

[peternorth]

No golf tomorrow. Couple of rounds on Sunday however

I've got tennis elbow, played Monday, Wednesday, today and a range session on Tuesday and my elbow is absolutely paying for it now. Been great trying to take advantage of the last month of daylight savings but geez I'm gonna have to rest a few days lol.

Yeh, the tennis/vs golf distinction has nothing to do with the sport it's just whether it's internal or external, physio has diagnosed it as lateral epicondylitis which I think is the outside of the elbow on the left arm. Its absolutely aching now haha

I had it for years but wore one of those straps on it which helped, I wasn’t missing golf! It’s like now I have a tear through a tendon in my shoulder but * surgery.. I have 2 more tendons there!
