Topic: Sports Talk / Steve "Beaver" Menzies

No – actually I said he was a “Manly great” and yes I do think you are a biased Manly supporter.

Interesting to think that you believe he should stand among the likes of Churchill, Fulton, Gasnier and Raper et al then ?

Topic: Sports Talk / Steve "Beaver" Menzies

No where near “legend” status but a Manly great – who’s achievements are a credit to him and the way he conducts himself

Topic: Sports Talk / andrew symonds

Fine him then see if he’s interested in playing cricket again ?

It’s not like he is a first offender ?

Topic: Golf Talk / RMC duntroon

Bradley

RMC is a very basic course and not as good as Murrimbidgee IMO.

Goullburn is the pick of the three.

Topic: Golf Talk / Lee becomes youngest US Amateur winner

NZ has not had a consistent “world class” golfer than Sir Bob Charles – hopefully Lee can go onto bigger and better things

Topic: Golf Talk / Murrumbidgee Country Club

There’s worse clubs going round than MCC – all things have to be taken into perspective as Aeonflux has referred to – Canberra has had a very severe drought.

If you go there with no false pretentions then you wont be dissappointed.

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Royal Adelaide redesign

Northerner

I agree with what Andrew has said – it seems that the Clayton design group is able to appreciate the original design and make alterations that are in tune with it.

1. Victoria
2. Portsea
3. Kingston Heath (incl. the spare P3)

I have not seen the “new” Royal Qld or his work on “The Lakes” but I hear the former is a significant improvement on the original

Does your club not have a time linit on the vouchers / ball comp wins ?

KYC

Why so ?

Topic: Golf Talk / Katherine Hull well done!

Good luck to hear – nice to see another winner on the US LPGA Tour besides Karrie

Topic: Golf Talk / Winningest?

Just like their liberal use of the word “legend”

Topic: Golf Talk / Golf in the olympics - why not?

Why the heck isn’t golf in the Olympics?

Becau$e there are four events every year that would be much more important to a golfer than an Olympic medal.

Nothing tops an Olympic medal in skiing or athletics or swimming.

Every year, 4 events in Tennis top an Olympic tennis medal.
This is why tennis, like golf, should not be in the OLympics

but since tennis is in already
then golf should be in…

If Tiger plays Lefty will he be that good ?
Square is Good ? Sure is, if it’s the right stick !
Good Golf is Fun plus the Great Outdoors…
In the Bag: Clubs and Balls. My Handicap is Bad Golf.

Even more reason why tennis should be out…..they both dont have a place at the Olympics.

Winning a Major v winning an Olympic gold in either sport – geez I know which one I’d rather have

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Mid North Coast NSW

Presume you’re travelling north from Sydney ?

If so – suggest a stop-off at Newcastle on the way up and possibly Foster (Tuncurry)

Port Macquarie is a great country track but there’s not much else of similar value in the area.

Topic: Golf Talk / Kel Nagle

He also co-design the better course at Foster / Tuncurry

Ditty

I enjoyed the HOF in Florida – make sure you have a go at hitting the “island green” while you’re there

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Long Reef...your thoughts?

I just don’t like the layout – some of the holes you have to be a mountain climber to play. The many walk “back” to tee boxes 2nd…4th….7th etc..the parellel holes that go back and forth 14 – 16 for starters.

Your thoughts ?

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Sunningdale

Northerner

Have you played the “Old” ?

The stretch of holes from the 4th to 7th are probably the best on the property. If it wasn’t next door to the “Old” the “New” it would be more revered.

As Andrews says – I suggest you try and get to play SF – the only Colt course I’m not overly keen on is Wentworth.

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Long Reef...your thoughts?

I’m not a big fan and wouldn’t rush back there – the course doesn’t flow well for mine – it’s all over the place.
