21/1/24 Augusta

 

    Augusta was the destination today to play golf with Kym & Caroline . For those that don't know , Augusta is pretty much the south west tip of Western Australia  -  any further south west and you're wet!!       It's very popular at this time of year , it seems like half of Perth has taken over for the period between New Year and school going back , cars and people everywhere . We arrived early so went down to the inlet and took some photos .


    Then it was time to catch up with our friends , they weren't expecting us to turn up at golf . The course is very hilly , so I opted for an electric cart , rather than walking the course and petering out half way round . This was my first full round of golf in 12 months , so I wasn't expecting any miracles - just as well 🤣🤣🤣 . This is looking back up toward the clubhouse from the 9th tee box .


   The were some huge grass trees scattered around the course , here's a few .


    Views from the tee boxes on the back 9 were spectacular , looking out to the Indian Ocean .


    After golf and a couple of cool beers , we went up to a lookout above the clubhouse , showing some of the front 9 holes . It's very dry down here at the moment .


    So , the golf wasn't overly pretty , but okay - just !! catching up with Kym & Caroline was great , and we'll be having lunch together tomorrow in Margaret River . Here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1_LxARNbaBkS3v4qrDyE0W5Mho8r6P6Y&usp=sharing
