[Chelsea4thewin]

just wanted to know if any of you guys play golf?

where do u play? whats ur handicap?

i havent played for years but got back into it about a month ago, had a few rounds on a par 3 course and just got back from the driving range then, to my suprise i can actually drive the ball ok, but definately need a glove, my hands all hacked up

where does someone recommend me playing my first round on a full course? prob a shorter course if there is such a thing?

Cheers

Which side of the city are you on?

[Chelsea4thewin]

im north east mate, modbury to be specific

thinking maybe penfield, its a 9hole public course, heard its ok

I know nothing about courses out there. South I can help you with, but eww, not that way

Like yourself, I'm a little rusty, but I used to play off of low teens. Bought myself a new set of clubs a year or so ago, and haven't really used them much, so would be keen for a round at some stage. Planning on getting down to Mt. Compass before the end of November if you/anyone is interested.

regency is a good course, 9 holes and pretty short (cheap too)

north adelaide north and south are also really nice courses, and relatively easy

yeah might be interested, a regular at the bombay bicycle club warren shoots off a handicap of 4 so im gonna try convince him to give me a couple of lessons to improve my game lol

Regency is a much better course than either of the 2 North Adelaide courses IMHO, purely due to green size. North Adelaide courses (particularly South) are like trying to land a shot on upturned saucers. I understand they've done it for easy of maintenance, but it isn't really conducive to shot making.

edit: can be very off putting for player when you see good shot roll off very limited green space - no value for good play.

Regency is good value tho.

I love golf! I'd be in - where ever.

I grew up on the North Adelaide courses. The North course has improved ten-fold in the last few years, from being quite barren and dusty, to green and lovely

Regency is great. Easy course though, with wide fairways and large greens.

I've played Lady Bay - very interesting (including hitting the green on a 340m par 4) and nice course - even if it is a drive.

Played Flagstaff hill three times, excellent course. Played Highercombe, and a few others too.

I wouldn't know what handicap I am - or anything like that. My best is 77 at the North course.

I play every year on my birthday (29th December) since I was 16. I hit a hole in one at Valley View (the 5th, HUGE hole haha), and kept playing each year after that.

i love getting out to play, but i am still very much a hack

i am yet to crack the ton, my best for a round was 100 on the dot when i missed a 1 metre put on the last hole.

i usually go round in 110 or so, but i haven't been out in 6 months
