No golf cart ๐Ÿ™‚ She enjoyed the walking for exercise. And interestingly, she never played with others. Always alone. And only very late in the day on weekdays, when the course was the quietest and least busy. For her golf was a pleasant way to get away from it all. She was always impeccably dressed, and often self depricating about her game in a charming, humorous way. A great lady, to be sure ๐Ÿ™‚


Im imagining Ms Hayworth played late in the day because the light was so beautiful and shadowy- not too bright...softer..lol..

 

Its funny, reading your description of her- shes sounds exactly as Ive always imagined- and very intelligent. As my father would have said 'they broke the mold after her'...maybe lurker is a little like her, I might have my work cut out for me, caddying from a different state!!haha

 

 


Well, I'm very flattered, but I think if you asked people who know me in RL, they may not agree Woman LOLWoman LOL

That's interesting your course being nicknamed Hogans Alley.  We have a hole called a Hogans Hole - for a completely different reason.  Have you heard of Paul Hogan (aka Crocodile Dundee)?

 

from our website:

the 3rd โ€“ Hoganโ€™s Hole

โ€œFamous internationally Naroomaโ€™s 3rd hole is one that must be played at least once in a golferโ€™s lifetimeโ€

Melville Proud โ€“ Executive Officer NSW PGA

Often referred to as Hoganโ€™s Hole (after television personality Paul Hogan shot an advertisement featuring itโ€™s unique setting) the 3rd hole at Narooma is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular holes in golf with players hitting over the ocean to a cliff top green.

Naroomaโ€™s 3rd hole is listed in Most Spectacular Holes โ€“ from Australiaโ€™s Finest Golf Courses by Darius Oliver

 


Nice hole,and the course has spectacular views, good.gif

Playing under an 18 handicap on that course is playing good golf,(what's it rated at?)

 

That looks wayyyyy more difficult then the courses I've played,shok.gif

Men Par 72, Rate 72, Slope 138
Women Par 74, Rate 74, Slope 133

It is beautiful. Two courses in one almost. 9 of the holes are played on the cliff tops with stunning views all around and the other 9 are back in amongst huge tall gum trees with water on 5 of them.
It takes a fair bit of local knowledge to play it well (so I'm told ๐Ÿ˜€)

I just had a look at that clip tazz. The left handed player in blue was a good friend of ours. He's passed away now.
I think there are clips like that of all the holes on the club website.



I'll try to find the old winny blue ad

You would need local knowledge as it looks to be a "tricky" course with the water and clifftop greens,(IMHO it's not a course that you can play well on first time round)Corny_cleaning-glasses.gif

 

The ACR on the Murray course is 72 and its 6095 metres long.

 

On the Lake course is rated 71 and its 5957 metres long,(it's the easier course as it's more open).

 

Must have seen that add but never took much notice as I hardly ever smoked Winfield,(it was mainly Escort back

 

then).

 

It's saved us $1000's and our health improved when we gave them away over ten years ago,good.gif

I've played both of those several times.  The Murray is a beautiful course, I really like it.  

The 14th hole (I think, dog leg right up toward the resort, water on the right and elevated green) on the Lake course gives me nightmares.  I ALWAYS sacrifice one to the water gods there.

 

We have a week on the Murray every year with a group of friends.  Play both Yarra's, Cobram, Tocumwal and Corowa.  It's always a really good week.

The 13th is the par 5 that you're thinking off,(you wouldn't be the only one to have sacrificed a ball there),blush-1.gif

 

They are all good courses and the weather is generally good/great here,good.gif

 

Let us know next time you come up and we can meet up,ok.gif

Kikuyu can be very tiring to walk on as it can become like walking on a sponge

 

Kikuyu patches and they tended to get out of hand in early Spring).shok.gif

Ha ha! Yes on both counts ๐Ÿ™‚

 

And of course you can't really play pitch and run shots across it because of that sponginess. You have to learn to play lob and flop shots.

 

That Santa Anna Couch has a very attractive look.
