Yering Meadows Golf Club ( - )

Second game for the year and it was round one of the 2017 Matchplay championship with SGA Victoria at Yering Meadows Golf Club.

An early start had us playing holes 19-27 and 1-9 otherwise known as the Homestead course.

No shots given or received against my opponent today and despite a delayed start to the round, I made a good start on the first hole with a 6-iron to 5 feet from the pin.

The good start continued and I made the turn 7up with irons and putting all working today.  Would have shot around 41 gross for the front nine, with 2 birdies and 2 pars.

Won the first hole of the second nine to go 8up before losing the next.  A 30 foot putt for bogey gave me a half and win 7 and 6.

An invitation out to the Yarra Valley north east of Melbourne had us heading out on an overcast day to Yering Meadows Golf Club.

Clubhouse at Yering Meadows

 

 

The clubhouse has fantastic views across the valley and it is a demanding course with 27 holes on which water features many times.  Fairways in good condition, but venture off them and the slope towards the water can be deadly.

 

 

Today we played the Valley Course, with the holes numbered 10-27 to avoid confusion.

 

 

Unfortunately my golf deserted me today and the scoring was not good.  What happens between the practice range and the first tee is a mystery to many, myself included.

 

I did continue my good form on the par-3's though, managing pars on 3 out of 4.

 

 

 

So, must be time for a trip to the driving range soon
