<p>Yeah hadnt played Rangiora before. The par 3 is pretty awesome eh. Another massive green with a huge break on it. I was long and left and needed to chip it back down to the 2nd tier. Quite a challenge to keep on the green!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Played waitamata this morning but was rubbish. Not a huge amount of pars and no birdies. Pretty much bogey golf.</p> -
<p>jk are you retired or just a bastard?</p>

<p>Is that the one with that short almost 90 deg dogleg par 4?</p> -
<p>Yeah thats the one mate 268m par 4 about the 15th. Prick of a hole as it goes left to right and I play a draw lol</p>
<p>
Actually the 11th is very similar and might even be the one you are thinking off. First shot needs to go about 180m and then you have another 120-130m to the green. Also goes left to right and for me is a pretty horrible hole.</p> -
<p>been a long time since I played it, but has a big lne of trees to the right to stop you going straight over, but sounds more like the 11th where you hit med iron off the tee and then a short iron in.</p>

<p>Played at Pakuranga yesterday. First time playing there and course is OK. Pretty average length and quite undulating in parts without have any major hills. Par 5s were pretty short and a mate of mine had a 3 inch put for eagle on one of them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I shot an 87, no birdies but 4 doubles due to a couple of OB off the tee. Was pretty woeful to be honest.</p> -
Aren't buggies part of the green fees there?
-
<p>yeah I hate buggies, even if I am able to have one, I might put my bag on but will stil walk most of the way.</p>

<p>Played twice at the little Otumoetai course over the weekend. It's short, and pretty easy, not a lot in the way of hazards around the joint is there? Still, it's cheap, and 5 mins drive from Mum and Dads, so was perfect. Seemed to hit the ball further in the cooler air, what's up with that? Being able to bring my own clubs was awesome. </p>

<p>I forgot you were over visiting NZ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm working at the mount today and should have jacked up 9 holes after work as I have the clubs in the boot and it appears to be clearing</p> -
<p>back in a couple of weeks. don't think i'll bring the clubs next time. Te Rapa races on the 8th is looking more and more like a go though</p>
I'm at work today so no golf sympathy from me :)</p>
