and thinking of you, #TeamGrank and all your Mexican brothers fraternity and their families today too.

Absolutely shocking news.

Thanks Bump…appreciate that. Bloody busy shift last night and I didn’t get too much time to think until I got home. Tragic for everyone involved and their families. Someone said, “There’s worse things in life than a bad golf round.” 🙁

Had lump in my throat as soon as I heard about it and it hasn’t gone away as yet. Thoughts with all the Vic blue brethren and the families of those lost.

Nanny state of not, I for one have been very pleasantly surprised by how the politicians are handling this issue. On both a federal level and at a state level they are doing very well I reckon. The amount of lives lost here is but a drop in the ocean.

It is also nice to see very little in the way of criticism from their relevant oppositions. If this goes on for much longer, people may have to lift their opinion of pollies from the “self interested pond scum” level.

It is a pleasant change. But once it is all over you can bet your arse, or anyone else’s for that matter, that the opposition at Federal and State level will be saying with the benefit of hindsight, …. “We would have done this” … and “We would have done that.” I bet ya the Vic opposition will be saying, ” We would have allowed the opening of golf courses with social distancing practices in place.” Sure to get them a few extra votes.

The one thing that I do want to see happen though is that a few arses get severely kicked in NSW Health for the debacle that is the Ruby Princess. The ability for those passengers to be let on their merry way has caused an absolute nightmare in every State. I would go so far as to say that the infection rate would have been halved, if not more, if that ship had of been quarantined at the outset.

So options thus far:
Howlong, Black Bull, Yarrawonga/Mulwala Thu-Sun Yarrawonga has an Executive Course as well so will look at options to include a fun event in middle maybe?

or Canberra Yowani and ??

Long list of options..
Royal Canberra, Federal, Gold Creek, Queanbeyan, Yowani, Mt Broughton on way for those coming south.
Plenty of options for food drink & accommodation.

Still I’m in for Murray too

Canberra is my vote.

I’ve heard Mt. Broughton is good……no comp tho.

Yowani = Yes

Mt Broughton is not in Canberra!

thanks for the input good to see you Bully

Not that far away though 😀

Only 150 odd km away. Easy drive. 🙂

So this is a change …… Our towns dam on Friday……. Gone from 16% 2 weeks ago to full…..
Might be allowed to use a hose for the 1st time in 2 1/2 years….
Town has recorded 344mm’s of rain this year
Airport which is 10kms from town 416mm’s
Everything is green
Golf course is turning green however grass is at present very clumpy but it is spreading…. been mown high to encourage the spread factor….. make playing interesting but it is the same for one and all….
Parts of the course are still covered in silt from the don pours and creek breaking its banks, a few bunkers need to have some sand put back in them but considering the way the place looked a couple of months ago it is really a case of chalk and cheese..

local farmers have grass/weeds/burs etc growing in abundance and have been able to stop feeding whatever stock they have left after the drought, maybe that is a brave call….. Yes it is green, dams are full and looks good at present but as to what the water table actually is, that is another question altogether….. hopefully it is not turning into a green drought …

But for the time being it does look good

So how’s the course looking Peg??

And who is going to go around and re-rate the courses to allow for this to take place. Don’t know about other States, but from what I have seen in NSW, those courses that do have multiple tee system all play off the one index rating for the respective coloured tee. They do not have a ladies tee rating in place.

Just saw Sam Newman’s verbal thoughts on playing golf in Victoria. Seems quite passionate about his golf, but not quite so passionate about the Premier and his stance on not being able to social distance whilst playing golf. GO SAM!!!.

Originally I thought he may have been reading from a script written by OB, but then I noticed a few grammatical errors, so it must have been done by Peaksy.. 🙂
