@ewanports @asiantourgolf @AdamGroomGolf @nedmichaels How good is Zoysia! There is a recently renovated course in Sydney with plenty of Zoysia too, will line up a game soon @KruseHarley

@AdrianLogue Super photo! So much fun playing there as a kid... I heard some bloke had 20 something on it during a Monday trainee event a few years back

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@GregChalmersPGA It really is that good. Borrows the best bits of Turnberry, Dornoch and Kingsbarns and rolls them together. Best thing is it is on out door step and a fraction of the price

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@AdrianLogue Great photo Adrian. An underrated hole on an overshadowed course. One of the hardest par 4s in town, 4 used to give me nightmares in a cross breeze too though

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@ewanports Spot on, haven’t played in USA, but a few direct comparisons. Cape Wickham > Turnberry/Kingsbarns/Dornoch. Barnie > Royal Aberdeen/Carnoustie. And that’s not mentioning the Sandbelt. I still crave returning to St Andrews, nothing beats the Home of Golf for spirit & “the vibe”

@ewanports I love Darcy and Penno Ian!! Don’t rate either of their views on socks

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@ewanports Surely Pennant Hills isn’t still a premier course.... even Killara let’s us match socks to our outfits these days

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@eddiecowan @ewanports Tradition would see us playing in coats and ties... or worse still the long socks we endured in the 90s Ed... and you would have been playing in whites in one dayers... if one daysrs were allowed to breach tradition to begin with

@ewanports @Straya10 @polsly @Decs11 @synesbitt Ewan can you join us at KGC for a round or two of Longest Day (targeting Thursday 10 Dec)? We can make it “retro round” if you are keen!

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@Luke_Elvy @ANAinspiration @terrygannon83 @Jrprotalker @JerryFoltzGC This is painfully slow to watch

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@AussieGolfer Best memories of my golfing life are Dark Times on the Old Course... ordering a steak at the Dunvegan over the phone from 18 tee topped it off

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@KellyO @NBCNews Could we at least get shot tracer on it next time please

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@ewanports Awesome! Well done

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@RuMacdonald @chompchomp15 @TheOpen @ScotGolfPodcast @scotgolfcoast @scothomeofgolf Great thought provoking list Ru. How far up do you have Royal Aberdeen and Murcar? That front nine at RA is awesome! Murcar is my all time favourite hidden gem. can’t wait to get back to Scotland

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@ewanports @Decs11 @Yeti2319 @mikeclaytongolf @bhughesgolf @the_woke_yolk That makes sense. Will never forget how much spin he had on his shot from the old left fairway bunker on 13. Had never seen anything like in person at the time

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@Decs11 @Yeti2319 @mikeclaytongolf @bhughesgolf @the_woke_yolk @ewanports Was that the day Gary Player was playing?That was a few months before he won at RS I think

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@Yeti2319 @McKellarJournal @mikeclaytongolf @ewanports @rollbackgolf Crowds where pretty good during the PGA!

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@AdrianLogue @KruseHarley @Rod_Morri @PodSyd @_GoodGoodGolf Would be awesome if you could have a weighted average course rating. Say red 70 * 6/18 + blue 74 x 5/18 + white 7/18 * 72. Then we could really have some fun!

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@KruseHarley @Rod_Morri @AdrianLogue @PodSyd @_GoodGoodGolf Thanks Adrian. So does that mean they can mix and match. For example - 6 reds, 5 blues and 7 whites during one round say?

[JDHarpham @JDHarpham]

@KruseHarley @Rod_Morri @AdrianLogue @PodSyd @_GoodGoodGolf Liked your comment on mixing the tees Harley. I wish my club would play a mix of blue, whites and reds on the occasional Saturday. Does the AGU rating system prevent this?
