Oh good, I hope that's the case then too.

Weather forecasts pretty much change daily (at least in Wellington they do) so it'll be all good :)

Yeah, it's just that I find the extended forecast in the Newcastle Herald to be pretty accurate.

WGMG: Having it officially confirmed today that I failed a course, leaving me one course short of graduating. *Psy* Fuck.

Urgh me too. Now I have to wait 6 months to finish it

WGMG: Just realised I've been watching golf for the last 20 minutes.

:lol: I've got 18 holes with my best mate tomorrow morning and I figure I should get some sleep. Especially if we're walking it. :lol:

I can imagine (and have been told) that golf is the type of sport that's much much more fun to play rather than to watch.

It is. I'm not very good though. :lol:. Once you get the hang of it, it's all OK.

Haha good luck anyway!

WGMG: xmas party for the bar I used to work at tonight. A few people want me to be there but I really can't afford it.

I love going to the driving range, not sure about the full 18 holes though, havent tried it yet. Afriad i would hold up the rest of the pack.

Driving ranges are good fun. Awesome for stress relief.

if you're going slower than the group behind you, you just let the other group play through.

I would love to play a round of golf, my mates though are not really the golfing type so i wouldnt have anyone to go with. Its hard enough getting them to the driving range.

Isn't there a rule that if you're going to graduate and exactly this happens, if you haven't failed anything previously and you're close enough in said course, they let you through so as not to prevent your graduation over one course?

Hope that made sense.



:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

yeah i only play about once a year due to no motivation to go alone, no motivation to organise to go with anyone & barely anyone asking me to go with them (because they go about as regularly as i do). i'm a pretty terrible player as consequence of never playing, but i enjoy the walk & chat that accompanies playing golf.

Yeah, thats the sense i get about golf. Its a nice relaxing enjoybale sport. Good way to start the day with some friends having a chat and enjoying the sunlight and nature around. A bit like fishing in a way, only less smelly and effort requiring a bit. My mates love fishing so we do that more often than not, but would really love to try out golf. Would probably suck though. Been thinking of getting a driver for the driving range but not sure where to look or what to look for.

i bought a driver back in the day when i was going through my golf craze. i did the buying-football-boots trick, which is try them out in-store & buy online.

I'm pretty sure that's just a myth that students tell themselves so they don't freak out at exam time. I mean, especially with something like an architecture or medical course where failing that class could kill someone.

I wouldnt know what im trying out though. Id just be like, "hmmm yes quite"

Plus as someone who doesnt have a clue, id probably get taken for a ride in the store too.

Most Driving ranges, especially those associated with a golf course, have 'Demo days' where they get the latest release clubs and let everyon try them. Essentially you get to use $1,000 clubs for the price of a few golf balls.

You'll find there is a pro around who will try and sell you the club when your're done, but you can use him to get a good idea of what sort of club you sould go for. i.e. whether you'd prefer a steel or graphite shaft, how much 'give' you'd like in the club and the weight of the club-head.

I bought a new driver a few months ago, spent about $130. I was using Titelist Drivers at demo days and realied that I like a fairly flexible shaft and a flat club-head, then pretty much bought the cheapest driver that met that criteria :p

I only play socially, about once a month on average

The only downside to this is if your swing is bad and you damage the club :P

Well if your swing is destroying clubs, you should probably be on the market for some golf lessons, instead of a new a driver :p

Happens to me every time I swing my junk in bird...the missus comes home and my clubs get broken...Should probably get some golf lessons.

WGMG: Found a recipe for a lemon cheesecake, went out and bought all the ingredients, and now I can't find the recipe again. FFS!

how do you know what to buy if you lost the recipe?

I bought the stuff before I lost the recipe, I managed to find it again though anyway :)

WGMG: People who think Catholics are not christians. Almost everyone in my family says "Catholics believe this but christians believe that"

Catholics killed christians in the colliseum
