I recently took the girls to a far out location called the 'clay cliffs' (Lord of the Rings location)... very dangerous the girls reckoned.... Sienna shoot me playing golf at 'the Hills' very exclusive Home of the New Zealand open.... wearing jeans....
YES! Some members have been known to play in shorts and singlets... and it's 'allowed' after all they ARE MEMBERS and have paid the big bucks!
Both of our daughters are in love with reading although one is more fluent and the other still more interested in the pictures. Anything creative she's sort of 'genius level'. They are beautiful people ...supporting them and encouraging them without spoiling them continues to be a challenge! But one we love!
A week ago with friends (thankfully) I shot a hole in one over two small lakes (180m) at Remuera golf course....my game has sunk completely into levels of sham since...however I get a trophy at some point...but allas no car!
That Friday night I did 'seem' to shake about 200-300 strangers hands...thanks to the club 'shout' 'one me'! I did ask a Scotsman ...how many holes in one had he done...'5'! ...since 1952!....Keep aiming for the pin and you'll do another one...he told me!
Played golf with a friend last Monday while we were on holiday...named 'Steve'..... He is actually one of my best mates. He put me on the plane to America when I flew out to meet Donnell all those years ago. I let the girls know the night before why I wouldn't be with them the following morning...Marlana says...'Steve's a bush!..........And indeed he is....a hedge in the Disney movie...'over the hedge'.....
Although it's sort of against my nature to tease...I'm getting good mileage out of this one!
Don, Glen,Timothy...? (one of the Eagles): I'd like to introduce to you the next president of the United States Mr Jo Walsh! Joe Walsh: 'I'd like to remind you I'm running for president, and here is an industrial love song' ....'my mazuratti does 185, I lost my license and now I don't drive...' Live moments don't get better than that!
I have found Golf 'Heaven'...or at least one of the special clouds...Kauri Cliffs. Look for a book called 'Fairways to Heaven'. Along with Millbrook in Queenstown. You have just gotta come down here one day.......and experience parts of this beautiful land that is like a serious huge breath of crystal clear air.
A couple of days at Kauri Cliffs (seriously located in the middle of 'no where' ), would have you ....well wanting to come back.
