Aussie Swinger
Newbie
Hi Ladies and Gents, back on the various golf forums, under my new name as I forgot my log on after a 14 month period. Used to go by the title of Matelotgolfer when I lived in Cornwall up until 2015.l, often championing Mullion Gc as a course to visit if on a Cornish golf tour. Changed to ‘Trini swinger’ when I spent time in Trinidad, until as you have now probably guessed, moved to Australia about a year ago now.
Been following this forum for last month or two. Remember having plenty of Chats with the likes of ‘drive4show’ and many others, and the fun had when a guy going by the name ‘Maverick’ was found out to be a ‘ Walter Mitty’ of golf.
Have to say, although Australia in general is fairly expensive in cost of living terms, it’s the complete opposite when it comes to golf. The golf in Australia is definitely all it’s cracked up to be. Golf is so accessible, and I consider courses are at least 60% cheaper than UK equivalent standard. joined my club and membership is less than £250 at Uk prices ( I’d happily pay £600 for same course if back in the UK).
As an example, played in New South Wales Open Qualifer on a course called Camden lon the outskirts of Sydney. ( great course, great condition for less than £15 Uk including entry fee.
If you get the chance to play golf in Aus, I’d can wholeheartedly recommend it as it’s great value and very inclusive to all standards and abilities.
Looking forward to some good banter and information being passed on here, it’s good to be back...
