Somewhere around Bridgeman Downs has a nice public course and it would be on your way to the Glasshouse Mts.

There's grass tees or mats at the Vic Park range horrie - you could follow the practice with a few holes.

by horace Wed 09 Sep 2009, 07:49

thanx mick...yeah ...have used that range a few times in the past...the course tho is a bit of goat track

by Bradman Wed 09 Sep 2009, 09:26

I always found it funny that people play down goat tracks. Have you ever played St Andrews in winter?

...nope...too damn cold for arthritic old bones - tho of course I would love to play there in the scottish 'summer'..

goat tracks for me are hilly, poorly laid out and have extremely poor fairways

by Bradman Wed 09 Sep 2009, 09:37

You've just described StAndrews.

by horace Wed 09 Sep 2009, 10:00

nah...not hilly enough and it always looked like there was grass on the fairways

A mate of mine, a very traditional, conservative fellow who rarely offers a contrary opinion and a bloke who has played most places of note is scathing of the Old Course.

I've played the Old Course and it was sublime.

by Mick Sawyer Thu 10 Sep 2009, 09:58

the course tho is a bit of goat track.

aye, it is. You could also give the shop at North Lakes a call. The practice facilities are good, the course is good & you should get access OK. It's on the way to Caboolture.

These things are in the eye of the beholder. I should add that I've not played any of the great courses in the UK or Ireland so if it reads like sour grapes, it probably is.

Nup!

No, I really have.

by Bradman Thu 10 Sep 2009, 10:22

I believe you. But it's a qunt of a course. Though if you use a seven iron the whole way around, apart from the 17th, the score card looks good in the pool room.

Crunch time.
