<p>you know no one cares and we all think you are a fluffybunny?</p>

<p>that was without a doubt the loosest golf day i have ever played. i'm already signing up for next year</p>
-
<p>hey TR and JK and other Auckland golfers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I need recommendations on a course to play in Auckland for a bucks afternoon. Think less the Dive Industry day i described above, think more a couple of 4s of guys having a hit and a few beers (of wildly varying abilities).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any ideas where we could have a bit of fun?</p> -
Formosa. Get carts and load with beer. Great golf drink course.
-
<p>i've yet to play Formosa, but agree with Hooroo for the reasons he put.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We had a stag night at Leigh one weekend, rented a house, hired some carts, got pissed up and walked back to the house for more beers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mangawhai would be another for that, but both those are obviously not in Auckland.</p> -
<p>are you blokes sure? looks pretty nice. are they cool with randoms on their course en masse? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>love the location.</p> -
Other courses that are quite casual and easy to get on are howick, whangaparoa, waitakere, etc but none are as good quality as Formosa. <br><br>
If you don't mind a drive then Omaha could also be an option but its an hour north of the city. Nice course with carts and again fairly relaxed -
<p>M4L Formosa used to be one of the best courses in the country but went bankrupt. All the members got together to buy it so they now own it and have done up the course but no where near its former glory. Tee to green though is still immaculate.</p>
-
<p>Nice call on Formosa guys. They're super helpful, and the price is very reasonable (ok, it's cheap as f*ck).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like it's a go</p> -
<p>The practice putting green is comedy too. It would be the toughest green in NZ if it was on the course proper.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They have a cool clubhouse too.</p> -
<p>i'm looking forward to playing there. think i am going to have a couple of rounds prior to i don't just hack it to bits. </p>
-
<p>"If" he says, "if i miss the fairway" haha ok, i'll take plenty of spare balls</p>
-
<p>geez, i've just done the course map, i better take 2 boxes!! There isn't a lot of room for error is there? And no fairways right next to each other for when you get it really wrong!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>this could be a debacle...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>at least there will be beer, and "caddies" if i can organise them</p> -
First hit since Feb....f<br><br>
9 hole twilight....first shot was something like a reverse shank, ended up with a triple bogey.<br><br>
Managed a good birdie on my way to somehow getting 18 stblfd after 9. <br><br>
so close to sneaking my handicap out 1 stroke too, just need to play 18!
