Golf

[Shonen]

I know everyone drives a Golf.

Anyone play the sport ? :)

[burgs]

I ride my road bike every now and then, I run a fair bit and I hit the gym fairly reguarly but that doesnt really cut it at a sport eh?

[Shonen]

Lol let me rephrase.

Anyone play golf ?

[nath_mk6]

Lol @ burgs >D

I used to, but since moving back to Sydney havent had the opportunity, not that I'm really any good, played socially so none of that handicap stuff...

[burgs]

Haha silly me, ive been known to hit a ball once in a blue moon. Going to Camden Vally Golf Course in May for a corporate golf day, hoping to repeat last years efforts of winning closest to the pin on a par 3 hole.

[Cam]

I used to play a wee bit.
Hoping to get out soon for a hack...um I mean hit.
:D

Had a membership last year and played nearly every weekend. Started to get....ok....but if I went down to the golf course now/today I'd have trouble hitting a decent one I reckon lol.

[Clifton]

When I was 14 I used to be on a handicap 4 for the first 9 holes at Hurstville in the Juniors program and I think I was down to a handicap of 11 on the golflink system (proper handicap).
But I havnt really played for 6 years now, it wasnt for me anymore.

[chris32]

I used to play very often up until a couple of years ago, been meaning to get out recently but my clubs have gone walk about.

[nath_mk6]

Hmm perhaps a golf day may be in order?......

[chris32]

I would be up for that.

[Shonen]

IN for golf day :)

[10d]

I'm in. Maybe start with a driving range meet first, Nath.

[nath_mk6]

Sounds like an idea 10d as I haven't used the clubs in almost 3 years! O and I have no idea where we could play anyway :) so where's a good driving range?

[Shonen]

Depends on which area your in.

Around Sydney, Moore Park and Homebush Olympic Centre driving range are both decent driving ranges.

[Cam]

I haven't played anywhere up near you guys so I don't know.
I've only played down south. Nowra, Shoalhaven Heads, Sussex, Callala, St Georges Basin etc.

I'd be up for a drive to a decent driving range. Our only driving range down where I am is basically a field. If they didn't have it fenced off the cows would be wandering around lol.

p.s A Golf meet, for a Golf practice would be so cool. I can just see it now, 10-15 Golfs all lined up and everyone walking towards the range with their clubs haha.
;)

[nath_mk6]

Anywhere around sydney would suit for a driving range session, not sure when though busy the next two weekends (GTG in two weeks) but after that would be good

[Rayjuice]

Yeah sounds like a fantastic idea...
btw did anyone get offered golf clubs with the purchase of their car?
Apparently i got rejected the offer because i haggled the price down to much =P
It would b pretty sweet to own a pair of vw golf clubs!

[nath_mk6]

Mate I was lucky to get a key chain! None of all these luxury items for me

[Cam]

I didn't buy mine new, Dad only got a couple of free pens, a hat and a mini umbrella (better than nothing I suppose ;))

[en.elle]

Working full time + GF has killed time for Golf.. playing takes at least 4-5 hours!

[chris32]

Yeah before you know it the whole day would be gone.

[saad]

Went to the driving range the other day, was fun - me and a few mates plan to go regularly now.

The trick is to not try and hit the ball to hard, if you dont know what your doing, like me. Then your more likely to hit and have it go a decent distance

[kaitan]

I will be up for golf. Moore park would probably be the ideal driving range cause it's in good condition and you get good balls instead of chippy and dirty balls. Plus good location in the sense where it's central for everyone I think.

For guys who is looking at getting some new clubs now is the time because of MASTER SALE!

A question for golfers who drives a GTI how do you cope with the boot unable to accommodate the golf bag? That the only down for my if I get a GTI, I need room for my golf bag :D

Yea it's a joke isn't it. Everytime i play or go to the range i have to put the backseat half down to fit the clubs in. And our cars are called GOLFS!

I'd be up for Moore Park Range meet and hit.

[schoona]

Should sell the pen and umbrella to those unlucky Mk4 .:R owners lol...

I'd bekeen on a driving range GTG :)

lol yeah that is a joke!! Being called golf but unable to fit golf clubs at the back!
Yeah moore park is good ! Any Professional players here? I need coaching :D

[Shonen]

Moore park sounds good for a gtg and hit at the driving range.


I also suggest Homebush Olympic park driving range.

During the weekends, they have a breakfast/lunch deal where you spend $15 or more and you get a free bucket of balls.

[kaitan]

Kool...We need to get the numbers UP before deciding on the date and time :D

[kaitan]

Sorry my bad...So whose is up for Golf Driving Range meet?

Date: 14th May 2010
Venue: Moore Park Driving Range
Time: 7.00 PM

[random]

just curious how come your not using the "driving range" at rsgc? considering you've paid for the membership, and the facilities are so much better!

BUT i guess you want to do it at night... that kinda answered my own question lol

[Shonen]

Lol at den525

Will confirm closer to date but generally Tuesday nights are fine.

lol den525 it's all a misunderstanding...I thought when you said RSGC you meant Royal Selangor Golf Club but it's actually Royal sydney Golf club hahha well so far only 3 of us have been showing interest...lol
Any more golfers out there?

[random]

ohhhh now i get it lol thats why you thought i was malaysian!!!

on topic... would love to go, moore park is not far away, but my shoulder is still playing up, and doctor said no drastic movements on the shoulder for another few months.

[kaitan]

lol..Hope that shoulder is not too serious...

lol looks like it's too little for a golf meet maybe a golf game would be better lol :P

[nath_mk6]

I'd be happy for a driving range meet, havent used the clubs in a few years and wasnt that good to begin with, but Friday and Saturday nights are out for me, and will need advance notice for anything else.

[10d]

I would like to go if it's weekdays @ Moore Park

[nath_mk6]

Sounds like a plan 10d, can drive to work, bring the clubs and a change of clothes and head over after work one day

[10d]

Well easy for me too, nath. Only 5 minutes from my place

[kaitan]

Guys that sounds like a plan...How's monday(17/05/10) or tuesday(18/05/10) night sounds? around 6.30pm?

[nath_mk6]

Will check tonight if in free one of those nights

[Shonen]

Should be able to make either night.

Ill keep an eye on this thread till then ^^

[nath_mk6]

wont be able to make this, father in-law is heading to HK last minute and the wife will have to fill in at the restaurant, next time

[777]

Count me in!

Perhaps den525 could one day hook us up for a round at RSGC? I live 5 mins, but play 50 mins away at Twin Creeks...

Just joking mate. I could organise a week day round out at Twin Creeks if anyone is interested. A nice drive out along the M4 for our Golfs
