Australians

[housey]

any aussies out there?

Just wondering who the Australians are using this forum, may help when you are selling stuff that we (other Aussies) know you are local and where you play ie Vardon events, Pennants, Senior Pennants, Interclub Challenge etc....

[huckles]

Im from Canberra ACT!

 

I am a bit of a club ho, but I think my bag is set now or for a while yet anyway....lol

Im always looking out for new and unique clubs though!

Good to see other Australians on this site!

[watson]

Also from Canberra ACT, and my bag is never set ;)

[Gxgolfer]

We have a fairly big aussie contingent here. I think alot of Ozgolf nuts are here. One of our "Marshalls", AddamSmith, is an Aussie.

[dpac]

I am from Sydney, play most NSW vardons and national events.

[huckles]

Watson, what is your home course?

Im from Federal.

I'm down in Melbourne. I'm only 16 so I don't get play that many tournaments because of school commitments but next year I will be able to play Colts pennant again because I just moved clubs to Victoria GC. I'm heading up to play either New South Wales GC or Royal Sydeny or maybe both in July. Which one is better? From what I know, they're both pretty good clubs.

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, my clubs are set and they will never change. Yes I know someone will say that it will change but I can't afford it now that all my clubs are premium clubs.

I'm in Sydney and play Interclub Challenge.

I'm in Brisbane. There are a heap of ozgolfers in Brisbane who frequent WRX for tour info and reviews etc. I play mainly at Brookwater, but have a basic hcap membership at Robina Woods on the Gold Coast.

 

I lived in Charlotte NC for a few years (98-02) and played a bit on the Amateur Golf Tour (was Carolina Blonde Tour). There's not really anything as organised as that downunder, but I still like to play different courses as much as possible.

 

My bag is a work in progress. I'd like to go all Titleist, and have just the irons to go. Was fitted the other week and am waiting on prices for 704.CB and 735.CM. I played X-12 and then TA3's in the states and then Tommy Armour evo v-25 forged when I came back. I kept my old 855s from uni as a backup set and am using them again for the time being. I'm also keen to grab a 585H when they are released to market.

Forgive me for saying, I knew Tazmania was near Australia, but had to look it up on Wikipedea to be sure. Geography was never my strong point...

What a beautiful, exotic island. I was surprised to see there really is a Tazmanian Devil, not just a cartoon character.

Sorry for the thread jack, I am just fascinated to learn more about the area. You must never get tired of the scenery!

Thanks for posting,
Kevin

Lived 13 years in Perth; many other WA wrxers out there. I play up at Joondalup. Saw Michael Sim up there again this week.

Kevin,

Tasmania is a great place to visit and home to one of Australia's best golf courses. Well worth the trip if you ever get the chance.

Oh my gosh, you weren't kidding. I went through the pictures on the website, one of the most beautiful courses in the world for sure!

I have a deep fondness for Australia. I was lucky enough to spend a school year in Melbourne as an exchange student in 1974. I loved the country and the people. I would love to get back someday, and if I can, I want to try to play that course!

Thanks Mates,
Kevin

[aussieb]

I'm from the Sunny Coast in Qld. Live in Florida now, but will be headed back one of these days. I try to keep up on the news from Oz as much as possible.

[jatizado]

Im Canadian, but have been living in Sydney for 3.5 yrs. I've just about completed a complete refresh of my bag for 2010. I replaced everything except for my putter!

Barnbougle is great, ive played there once and hope to do again soon. Kevin if you get down here we should try and get a WRX'ers day going i know we might not get any numbers but its worth a shot for this great course. If not enjoy your time down here in Oz and dont forget your sunscreen and insect repellent.

[Slack Hacker]

From Brisbane, But now live in Ireland. However after 3 ordinary Summers and only the chance to play 3 of the last 14 weekends I question my decision to move here in the first place.

[neilk]

From Melbourne, play at Box Hill Golf Club with my 11yo son who moves from cadet to junior this March so can start playing comps (and beating me), all Titleist bag at moment, but garage full of clubs.

[SwingBlade]

I usually fly down to Sydney two or three times a month. Used to play The Australian and New South Wales almost every month and have played Royal Sydney a few times. What great courses they are! Mostly only get to play The Coast nowadays but it has some great ocean views. Have golfed in Melbourne and Brisbane. Australian golf is some of the best in the world and Aussie golfers are the best blokes around. Our sister aviation unit in Vietnam was Australian and what tremendous guys they were. Cheers ...

I'm based in Perth

I lived in Bris Vegas for 2 years and have been fortunate to travel to a lot of nice courses to play.

But there is nothing like home
