I’m just a social member now following a lot of back injuries in the past 2 years but sounds like a plan when I’m healthy again. 

Ah back injuries are a nightmare! I've had to deal with back tightness the last 2 years as well, especially with Covid and sitting at a desk all day.

Yeah sounds good. Reach out when you are back down there and we should have a hit.

    Heard a rumor that RMGC waiting list fees are $20,000 +

    And the RMGC greens (or at least maybe 6-9) of them are said to be in dire straits, having been “fertilized” with RoundUp. 

    It was an incorrect chemical but it wasn't Roundup. Rather than "dire straits", they are being repaired and will be back in a month or two.

    Showoff? Nah just an just a mug golfer that happened to be in the right place at the right time to meet up with this group of guys... Elitist? Nah to that as well.... I have played a lot of 'ordinary' courses as well, including Brighton, Yarra Bend and Sandy courses in Melbourne.

    If I really wanted to showoff I could list the strange countries I have played golf in.... golf provides endless stories......

    St Andrews is open to the public, as I understand it? As a public course and such.

    Anyone playing off single figures while managing a professional football career is just plain crazy to me. 

    Would love to play a round with Maysie, he'd be cracking company I reckon

    Wasn't Hunt a top tennis player in his youth? I seem to recall he was said to be better at tennis than football when he was drafted.

     

    Not sure. Probably.

     

    Good sporting pedigree, Uncle is Andy Moir who played for the Dees, his grandfather ran at the olymics and his Mum is a sports teacher.

    Hi Super,

    There is no waiting list at  Commonwealth at present, much to their  chagrin.

    Expensive entry fee ( ? $10,000), but reduced annual fee till you’re 40.

    Big works about to start,to try to get back to the standard of RMGC, KHGC, Metro, and Vic.      Commonwealth is a great “ members’ club”……….. people try to meet other members and enjoy playing with them.  It’s not easy….. tricky greens, and as long as any other Sandbelt course.

    Board members from CGC were spotted at The National recently

     

    Watch this space..

    just for the golfers out there …….
     

    I’ve been living in Europe now for many years and was lucky enough when I arrived over here to fall in with a good group of guys that organised a golf weekend each year. I have been involved with it since the early 2000’s and we have played some great courses. Been to Scotland a number of times and played the Old Course at St Andrews as well as most of the other courses in the area. Also have played Turnberry, Troon and Prestwick in Ayrshire. A highlight was playing Royal Dornoch in The North. Off to Scotland again this year. 
     

    In Ireland we have also played some classics such Portrush and County Down. In the US we have been to Pinehurst a couple of times and that is a great place to have a golfing holiday. It has 9 top quality courses with No.2 the site of the US open a number of times. Played Whistling Straits and Eden Hills a couple of times with Whistling Straits rated the most difficult course I have played. Great course but long and hard. Off a 14 handicap I managed to shoot a 95 and was very happy with that.

    played in a few other places in Europe and the Us but the ones mentioned were wonderful memories.

    Yeah but have you played the Beechworth sandscrapes?

    Gus can get back to golf. RM greens are back in play, albeit a little slow, 4 weeks after the "incident".

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
