<p>played Kerikeri today, was a nice surprise to get a MOnday green fee special, $20.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dotgolf hasnt put my score in yet, shot 80 (par 73) 44/36</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hit 2 fairways, 10 greens and 35 putts, missed 3 birdies inside 5 feet. 36 holes now and no birdies!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of one of the fairways I hit, was the 17th, a 460 odd metre par 5, plying slightly up hill and into the wind, smoked my drive 275m, then hit a 4 iron 185m to about 6 feet, eagle!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Below is the view from the ideal spot to play your 2nd on the par 5 3rd at Kerikeri (big dogleg) sadly, that was my provisional ball in the pic, my 1st 1 I found about 20 yards further on, and 50 yards left...is probably about 70 or so metres elevated there, possibly 90 from the tee.</p>

<p>I just wish one day I could learn to putt!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oddly I was hoping I'd have a big score to get my handicap out, but I think that is <.5 over my handicap up there, not to mention the last 7 holes I was 2 under and shoulda been 4, FFS! I hit pretty poorly truth be told, so am still trying to work out how I managed 80 round there, even in my heyday 78 was my best round there, but I'll take it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is a pond at the bottom of that hill, which is where my 2nd shot ended up, but as it is about half full, I played out of it without getting wet!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>we havent had rain here for almost 3 weeks (and even then was only a decent downpour to break up a couple of weeks of no rain prior to that) and been bloody hot, am praying for the promised rain to arrive!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loads of sun screen and going to shady spots, plus my mother in laws partner likes to fill the bag with beers for the round... :)</p> -

<p>Amazing what you call shit TR , I would be turning cartwheels if I turned in a score like that</p> -
<p>haha, fair enough...I should be happy given how little I have played, but I guess it is about how I play more so than the actual score.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kinda like when I got my hole in 1, I wasnt happy at all with the shot, was looking beyond the green for the ball...but like my golf coach used to say, "there aint room on the card to write the story of how you got the score, just the number" luckily, otherwise I'd have a novel from today :)</p> -
There's barely enough room on the card for my score let alone a story
-
<p>We're not going down this year as we have too many yearlings of value that we will want to keep an eye on over this period and also tightening of belts means it's easier to work the stats than pay double time etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will just be going to Whangamata from the 20th to the 29th and popping back to the farm to keep an eye on things. (I'm back at work on the 4th I think)</p> -
Gutted mate! I'm down from 23rd til 2nd and then back here but not back to work until 20th so plenty of time for golf and fishing.<br><br>
So in that case, do you have recommendations other than rangiora? Kaiapoi looks cheap and cheerful but what about Pegasus? Worth shelling out the $ for? -
<p>so it took me 45 holes to make a birdie!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shot a 79 round a par 71 today, 3 birdies in the end, 36 putts, after 2 birdies in a row I 3 putted the last 2 holes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I cant recall hitting the ball so poorly off the tee before, just no idea where the ball is going, my usual stock shot of a draw is nowhere to be seen...luckily my mid to short irons are pretty good, getting me to the green to 3 putt!</p>
<p> </p>

Waimakariri is also a great country course with some very scenic holes. Really good nick too<br><br>
Pegasus is ok. Worth playing but you won't rush back.
