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>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>

<p>Just bring one ball mate! So many rich huas play there they don't get their lost balls. ProV1's everywhere!</p>

<p>At my old club up here I used to like going out in the week following a bunch of teenage stars from Korea (they'd be about for 3 months a year) they barely bothered stepping onto the rough (TBF they rarely hit the rough, but anyway) to get a ball, they just hit another new Pro V1 and walked on by, was great!</p> -
<p>Japanese businessmen in Cairns are the same. I figure the course probably owes me more than a few....</p>
