Been to Vancouver twice a couple of years ago and whistler was going to be on my agenda for my next trip looks a lovely bit of countryside, But all trips go to LOS now.

Back to the subject my goal is to play the course on Don Mueng airport.

I can already here the echoes of "Fore" reverberating through the mountains.

Oiy!!! Paulie do not get too good before popping over again, remember I'm getting older and older, cant be having you young bucks practising!!!

They look awesome courses, especially the back drop to Whistler and being Niclaus and Palmer designed courses you know they will be a good test and even more importantly, they will be in very good condition.

Dodg, I am far away from giving any of the Dodger clan a challenge, believe me

I think the most scenic hole I've ever seen is the 14th at Furry Creek (on the way up to Whistler).

my favourite golf hole (and golfer....me 55555) and club in the world......Kauri Cliffs in the Bay of Islands NZ

you may have met or at least heard of the owner Paul....Julian Robinson...he's there for most of his downtime.....and has a great house not far from the hole from where I am teeing off....where I stayed last time I was there.....but don't tell him I slept in his bed and went for a ride in his chopper......it's a secret!

good luck with yer golfing mate

Nice pics there N1...and a fine looking backswing.5555

The following should probably be posted under jokes, etc. But, since this thread is about GOLF...and I'm draaaaannk...


A father, son, and grandson went to the country club for their weekly
>> round of golf.
>> Just as they reached the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman
>> carrying her bag of clubs approached them. She explained that the member
>> who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency that
>> called him away and asked the trio whether she can join them.
>>
>> Naturally, the guys all agreed. Smiling, the blonde thanked them and
>> said, "Look, fellows, I work in a topless bar as a dancer, so nothing
>> shocks me anymore. If any of you wants to smoke cigars, have
> a beer, bet, swear, or tell off-color stories or do anything that you
> normally do when playing a round together, go ahead.
> But I enjoy playing golf, consider myself pretty good at it, so don't try
> to coach me on how to play my shots."
>>
>> With that the guys agreed to relax and invited her to drive first. All
>> eyes were fastened on her shapely behind as she bent to place her ball on
>> the tee. She then took her driver and hit the ball 270 yards down the
>> middle, right in front of the green.
>>
>> The father's mouth was agape. "That was beautiful,"
> he said. The blonde put her driver away and said, "I really didn't get
> into it, and I have faded it a little." After the three guys hit their
> drives and their second
> shots, the blonde took out a nine iron and lofted the ball within five
> feet of the hole. (She was close st to the pin.) The son said, lady,

you played that perfectly."

>> The blonde frowned and said, "It was a little weak.
>> I've left a tricky little putt." Then she tapped in the five-footer for
>> a birdie. Having the honors, she drove first on the second hole and
>> knocked the hell out of the ball, and it landed nearly 300 yards away
>> smack in the middle of the fairway.
>>
>> For the rest of the round the statuesque blonde continued to amaze the
>> guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole.
>> When they arrived at the 18th green, the blonde was three under par, and
>> has a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par. She
>> turned to the three guys and said, "I really want to thank you all for
>> not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or
>> how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I'd really like t
>> o break 70 on this course. >If any one of you can tell me how to make par
>> on this hole, I'll take him back to my apartment, pour some 25-year-old
>> Royal Salute Scotch in him, fix him dinner and then show him a good time
>> the rest of the night.
>>
>> The yuppie son jumped at the thought. He strolled across the green,
>> carefully eying the line of the putt and finally said, "Honey, aim about
>> 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that
>> little hump and break right into the cup.
>>
>>The father knelt down and sighted the putt using his putter as a plumb.
>>Don't listen to the kid, darlin', you want to hit it softly 10 inches to
>>the right and run it left down that little hogback, so it falls into the
>>cup.
>>
>> The old gray-haired grandfather walked over to the blonde's ball,
>> picked it up and handed it to her and said, "That's a gimme, sweetheart.
>> Your car or mine?"
>>>
>>>
>> AGE AND EXPERIENCE WILL TRIUMPH OVER YOUTH AND SKILL EVERY TIME
