Huntingdale Golf Club ( 38 )

The first SGA Victoria game for 2018 had us off to Huntingdale Golf Club in Melbourne's famous sandbelt.

The home of the Australian Masters for many years, it is always in magnificent condition and today was no exception.

Leuk the Duck  along for support

Started on the 10th hole, a reasonably short par 5, and a comfortable par was a nice way to start the round.

Par 5 10th hole

A reasonably solid start today before a couple of lapses on short games on holes I had strokes on cost a couple of points.

Long par 4 17th hole

Three more pars on the second nine and I closed with 36 points, my best score for a few rounds

First game for 2017 and after some hot weather after Christmas we managed a perfect day for golf with light winds and 25C.

It is always a pleasure to come to Huntingdale, traditional home of the Australian Masters for many years.  The course was in magnificent condition even after suffering damage to some of the bunkers in recent storms in Melbourne.

A shotgun start, but we were fortunate to be off the 1st tee.

A reasonable start to the round, my first for over 6 months although only 1 par amongst a heap of bogies.  Unfortunately the second nine saw more bunkers and misdirected tee shots bring the scoring down.

Sixteen points first nine, but fell in a hole on second nine.

Have been trying to work on correcting the slice in my out to in swing.

It was the first Social Golf Australia Victorian game for 2015 at this favourite Melbourne sandbelt course.  Huntingdale was in excellent condition, and with their very impressive new clubhouse now in operation, it was a pleasure to spend a day on the course.

Par 3 Third Hole

Finished the day with 32 stableford points and left a few out there so reasonably happy with the start to the year.

Par 3 5th hole

Still need some work to correct the over the top swing but had the irons generally under control and striking the ball better.

Par 4 18th hole
