Catch Up

Well it's been a while since the last update, Christmas in fact.

So New Years came and went and now being responsible parents we didn't go out on the town or anything crazy, just a nice quiet one at home. Had a few friends over for some poker and some good food and drinks. Seb was his usual quiet self and whilst we had him out for the fireworks he was still sound asleep.

New Years Eve 2009

It was a stinking hot day that turned into some exciting storms with heavy downpours for New Years Eve night, entertaining to watch the drowned out crowds lining the banks of the Yarra for the fireworks but the downside of course a nice humid night for all.


New Years Day - no hangover - was time to hit the golf course for my first ever crack at the long stick with the little white ball. It was a sight to behold as I drove, chipped and putted my way around the Westgate Golf Course spending more time in the rough than not, however it was still a fun day. Whilst I'm far from going pro anytime soon I felt I did improve as the day progressed although never did really get the hang of that driving thing the 6 iron became my good friend as we hacked around the course.

New Years Day Golf - Rob, Mak, Adam

Of course I couldn't leave out the tenth hole where I scored a birdie on a par 3, MAGNIFICENT, never mind all my 10's and 12's for other holes this hole I nailed it and it was a great feeling when you connect cleanly with the ball and it goes somewhere in the direction you want - in this case just onto the back of the green from there a nice mid to long putt and we were in business!

I only felt I hit the ball cleanly and really well four times for the day, one was the above that landed beautifully onto the back of the green, the second was a short shot a tick over 100m, I went with what I thought was a safe 9 iron that than proceded to connect cleanly and send sailing over the back fence of the course into a part demolished building :(
The third and fourth clean hits were on the same hole, both great shots, looked great until they sailed over the fence and headed towards the housing estate that backs onto the course. No injuries or damage so new balls and away we went.
