<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>

PLaying Formosa on Saturday and Gulf Harbour on Sunday this weekend. Can't wait. Then the Karaka Millions at Ellerslie!</p></blockquote>
<br>
How did it all go mate? Interested to see what ya thought of both courses -
Loved them both. I felt sad playing Formosa. It was nice to play but felt like playing in a war torn city. You could see what used to exist and while it was nice to play you can only think of it in its former glory. I hope they turn it round but they won't. It is just too big. <br><br>
Gulf Harbour magic. Loved playing it Played rough both days. Knocked in a couple of good birdies at Gulf Harbour though. <br><br>
Would play them both again in a heartbeat. -
<p>Share those thoughts on formosa eh. Still a good course but just doesnt have the $$ put in to it that it needs to in order to be kept at a high standard. Some decent holes though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gulf Harbour looked to be heading the same way a little while back but sounds like they have turned it around.</p> -
<p>have 2 days of pairs matchplay on this weekend on my home course (short 9 hole course - around 2600m for 9) looking forward to it, although our oppoisiotn in the first round, one of the pair is a burglar, he should be on about a 5 but plays off an 11, so I have to give him 2 shots!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>for sh!ts and giggles am gonna turn the GPS on to see how far I walk in a round vs the course length</p> -
<p>It is a nice little course Hooroo and not that far from Auckland at all. I remember doing a club trip there on a bus when I was a junior at Pupuke. Was a great day and I recall having a near hole in one on one of the par 3s.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Speaking of Pupuke, its their 100year centenary this year and they have alot planned for late March including some a few different open tournaments, ambrose day, a twilight 9 hole tournament etc. Going to try and get involved as love that course after playing my first 7 or 8 years of golf there as a kid.</p> -
<p>Driven past Pupuke a number of times and thought I should play that course!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did you know Tony Mayo JK, pretty sure he was from there?</p> -

<br>
Drove past it today and dam it looked dry. Greens still looked decent, stood out well vs the rest of the course in light brown -
<p>well, the score card said 2500m, after 2 holes (905m) I had walked 2km :mocking: just about every shot played in our 4 in those 2 holes required everyone to have a look for it!!<br><br>
Ended up 10.8km for 18 holes!<br><br>
Par 70, 41/37<br><br>
Also broke the head off my fave wedge playing out of a hazard where I was standing with my left foot on a log and the club head ended up hitting the log...I got it to 8ft though and we won the hole :)</p> -
<p>a mate of mine thinks there is an excellent chance he can get me a corporate invite to play Kauri Cliffs when i am up north next summer. should be alright aye?</p>
-
<p>jump at it! Only slightly jealous...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty tough, but by all accounts a pretty stunning course, owned (or used to be) by the same American that had Cape Kidnappers.</p> -
<p>from the look of it i'll have to buy a couple of dozen balls to get around it</p>
