Well after 6 long weeks I finally managed to get another game of golf in. So here is my CRAPP report, I know all of you have been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for my CRAPP to show up in your inbox!

I played in the competition at Broome Golf Club today and I was pretty rusty to say the least. They had a Scramble event on and it was the first time I have played such a game and to be honest I did not like it. You don’t get any continuity in your game at one stage I had only 3 tee shots in 3 holes, its very hard to get a good rhythm going playing Scramble.

The course was in reasonable nick considering its the middle of the dry season and there has been minimal rain over the last few months. The greens were a bit rough but still rolled true. Unfortunately the facilities are very minimal at the moment, with the golf club working out of the maintenance shed, whilst their new 6 million dollar club house is being built. Sitting high over the 1st tee, with views to “Staircase to the Moon” one side and the great Sunsets over Cable Beach from the other side.

I suggest once the clubhouse is finished the club will grow considerably, it will certainly be a sought after venue to view both attractions, with the club benefitting financially.

So here is my CRAPP report:

Design – 12 out of 20

Condition – 14 out of 20

Cost – 18 out of 20

Visual Appeal – 10 out of 20

Facilities – 5 out of 10

Ambience/Appeal – 5 out of 10

This totals 64, not a great score but still a pass mark. It would be interesting to play just after the wet season when the course has had a few months of rain.

Well that’s it for this report, I’m sure you’ll look forward to my next CRAPP.
