Only place I’ve played a course is N64 land.

I could have called this thread ‘swing club waterholes you like; share your pics’

Lol

Tevern golf course. Well worth trying out.

The Barnbougle courses are some that I know inside out but have never played there, would love to though.

Nice course on the river

my cousin is the super at Tanunda pines, hoping to get a round in there at some stage.
Our local is a bush course with scrapes, but looks pretty decent about 5.8km

Tenunda

Good score

I have to respectfully disagree. Being on a manicured, planned out, tree felling golf course is as far from being out in ‘nature’ as one can get while still being outdoors.

Still, I have a good wii golf rating.

Hmmm if a thread about golf, or aquarium keeping can b considered trolling im sure that says more about the type of people who frequent this forum than it says about the author

nope, sure they have animals around them but their fairways are strips of stripped nature.. and they use a lot of water for a good walk ruined. Except the Bakers Hill golf course, which is basically dried mud…

The main reason that there seem to be a lot of tree stripped golf courses, is because of housing development rules.

A certain amount of a new development has to be preserved for greenery/public open space and developing this as a golf course fits these rules.

Hence my comment about housing instead…but you knew that didn’t you?

Yes, golf must be considered elitist by the left enviro movement. A sport of the rich capitalist.

Perhaps reef aquarium keeping is as well. I mean your typical tree hugging dole bludger couldn’t afford either. And its pointless getting angry & lecturing fish, & no one can hear your teeth grinding on a fairway

Are you OK, Observer? You seem to be in need of something lately.

nope, sure they have animals around them but their fairways are strips of stripped nature.. and they use a lot of water for a good walk ruined. Except the Bakers Hill golf course, which is basically dried mud…

many golf courses are going to reclaimed water due to the lack of risk of graze injuries.
as opposed to football/cricket/rugby ovals, grass tennis courts, bowling greens (their restrictions are mre to do with proximity to designated eating areas) school ovals, etc..

apart from the higher level courses, fairways aren’t stripped of nature, they are cleared of trees and shortly mown. and that is just the fairway and green, the rough is left as is, trees, waterways and all. the fairways are a low percentage of total area on a golf course

Unkown. Definitely was not the K Rain I bought. There was another brand that looked identical to the sort I had while the K-Rain looked different. So I bought the other brand. But all the packaging and the docket is in the bin already.

But thanks, I’ll keep an eye on it.
