Saturday the 14th of March 2020 – Coffin Bay, South Australia

Well for all the golf lovers out there I’m sure you have been waiting with baited breath for my next CRAPP report and here it is!

I played in the Saturday competition at Port Lincoln golf club today and as its been since we have started our trip, every time I’ve played golf its been windy and today was no different. I played with 3 local members, all a bit older than me, Bill was 83, Kev was 87 and Jeff was 92. I felt like I was in kindergarten playing with these guys. Then again it was fairly similar to playing back at home with Peter B, Griff and Joe!

Considering the putting surfaces were pretty rough after being cored and sanded during the week, I was happy with my 33 points. I was starting to get used to the greens by the end but I gave away too many shots early to really have a good score but never the less I hit it reasonably.

To be fair to the course, its at the end of their summer and there hasn’t been too much rain so the course was very dry and rough in places, preferred lies on every fairway was in place. So here is my rating:

Design: 12 out of 20

Condition: 10 out of 20

Cost: 18 out of 20

Visual Appeal: 8 out of 20

Facilities: 7 out of 10

Ambience: 6 out of 10

So the final score is 61! I’m probably being a bit harsh but unfortunately thems the breaks. Until next time, hittem straight!

One of the members had this for their motorised golf cart. This would be perfect for Peter Bentley, he would not have to have trainer wheels as his legs would be able to touch the ground and keep him balanced!
