Had the long overdue opportunity to get together with @Vinsk and @billchao today for a round of golf and a couple of beers at my club.  We even managed to gang up on 2 of my other buddies and take a couple of dollars from them.  A good time was had by all!  

Pace of play?  I’m glad you asked.  Although we all hit the ball a LOT of times, 5 of us cruised around in 3:35, even though we got caught behind a slow foursome and waited on every shot for 3 holes before we got past them at the turn.  :-)

What was the shank count, @Vinsk? 🙂

And… is that the best photo you've got of the three of you? Indoors?

Two rounds...one shank. So that’s a good thing. We were a fivesome and played well under 4 hours ...didn’t take time to take pics....we should’ve.

Sadly, that’s the only pic.  What were we thinking?!

Yep.   Got to see a hozel rocket on one of his very first swings.  😱   Fortunately, things settled down quickly after that!

At one point we did suggest we should have live streamed our match, when @Vinsk blew a lag putt 15' past the hole and then holed the comebacker for par 🤣

There was beer involved. Lucky we thought to get the one picture in.

After numerous spectacular shots by@billchao from treacherous lies and positions we’ve deemed him the ‘ hold my beer...watch this’ guy.

We shan’t discuss how he came to find himself in those treacherous positions though...

Yea I'm pretty good at hitting shots out of trouble. I'd like to tell you there's a cool Seve Ballesteros type of story to explain it, but the reality is I just have a lot of experience hitting into stupid spots on the course.

I didn't hit any drives today onto adjacent fairways. That's a successful day in my book.

    • Day 135 - 2025-02-12 Worked this morning before our Board Meeting in the afternoon/evening.
    • Next weekend myself and two pals are hopping on the plane to Queenstown with the following itinerary: Fri: Jack's Point Sat AM: Arrowtown Sat PM: Roxburgh Sun: Wanaka Other than the front nine at Wanaka, all will be new to me. Very excited to see them all and fingers crossed for good weather. A great selection of courses in the area - Millbrook, Hills, Queenstown, Alexandra and Cromwell will have to wait until next time! Someone might point me in the direction of the best place to post/view photos as I haven't yet encountered a dedicated forum for that (no doubt user error!).  
    • Welcome to TST.   We're glad you've joined.  
    • Day 5: 2/12/25 Weight shift drills followed by putting through 50 mm gates. The more upright I putt the better I have been doing. 
    • Hello all My name's Conor.  I'm from Scotland and have lived and golfed there and in Ireland for many years, but am currently based in Auckland. Have played golf for many years with periods of more or less activity/improvement. Keen to get stuck in to TST and thought I would say hi before I lean on your collective wisdom when I post the first video of my swing! Cheers   Conor
