'The first tee,Yandi, WA. - that spring contraption is to increase hitting difficulty (just for fun)' posted by Greg,Birtles


Golf

an experience of sports

I played golf on the weekend in Central NSW. It was 40 degrees plus without a breath of air when we hit off. A few holes later this magnificent electrical storm came over the ranges and we ran for the safety of the club house. I was winning. That's golf.
 
One time, I was out west in the middle of Western Australia visiting the BHP mining town of Yandi when I came across the company's 'golf course.' Well, it was a golf course in function, even if it didn't quite look like what I was used to.
