One of New Zealand’s best one shotters…..6 Nelson Golf Club, I just wish they’d let me play my first ball off the sand…..OOB seems a bit pedantic. Incredible greens complex. Some old school design there I feel

Bunkers …that were bunkers. Love discovering lost treasure and for the main part, Nelson Golf Club today had a few retired gems, I’d have kept those bunkers in the first pic and cleared those trees.

“Next time your ball bounces out of the trees, go and throw it back in if you think the game should be fair. Accepting the unfairness is thee great mental challenge of the game” @mikeclaytongolf talking sense on This Golfing Life Podcast. Even the dog wished it went longer

After watching the pros last week taking on Paraparaumu Beach in the NZPGA I got my turn on the links. It was fun watching the pros take high numbers on the short 5th…not so fun when playing it myself and missing to the right. Signed for a 7!!

As you get older it’s easy to talk about the “glory years” but my 4yrs working at Royal Melbourne came close. Richard Forsyth and the current custodians have done an amazing job this week. Great to have an Aust Open back. Living it vicariously from a distance!

Such a fun weekend back at “thee” spiritual home (of New Zealand Golf!). 5 lots of nine hole matchplay and walking around the links had me feeling like a proud father.

Camping on the south coast of New Zealand’s North Island and discovered this painted white stone. Gave off County Down vibes!

And to think the wife questioned my credit card spending earlier this year. Long term investment I call it and a great addition to the annual gathering of the family Christmas Tree Committee! @TheMasters

One of life’s fortunate golfing experiences - the play and stay package at @VicGolfClub and to do it alongside and have it happen because of some great industry mates made it feel even more special.

Little Frankston…as uncomplicated a golfing experience gets. 9 holes of very good golf, byo food and drink, clean the kitchen and tidy the clubhouse on your way out.
