WE COULD PLAY THIS GOLF COURSE EVERYDAY

Stand up the hill. You’ll stand up the hill. So So So we’re same same side. Look a lot taller. Okay. Rich is a unit. He is a unit and there is no hill here. Right. We’re we’re at Newcastle Golf Club, aren’t we, Richard? Newcastle. First time I’ve ever seen it. And there’s no tripod on the other end either. I mean nicknamed tripod, but there’s somebody actually holding it. So yes, we’ve got young Scott out with us again. Young Scott Campbell back. Seen it magenta. Bloody lovely. So as you probably seen, we’ve had four other golf courses. This is perfect weather. Yep. They’ve all been a bit overcast or rainy or windy or at least overcast. Yep. Zero. Nothing. Nada. None. So, um we’re just going to play off the white TE’s and we’re going to play an Ambrose. But we we need to massively thank the marketing team and the pro shop here. They’ve been brilliant. Uh everyone down here in Newcastle has cuz very busy here today. Uh shotgun tea off really uh raising money for uh domestic violence I think. Yep. So very very good. Got your back sister. Got your back sister. I think it’s called sister. Yeah. Watch out, there’s a runaway cart. So, so yes, I had a charity day here. Plus, there’s a lot of other golfers here. So, we the same thing. Some of these causes are very busy and we don’t wish to hold up to people. So, and that’s why we appreciate everybody show the calls off allowing us to come on. Yep. Looks fantastic. Uh, yes. It looks like they done their greens like a week or two ago and it looks like they’re perfect. So, it means it can be better than this. Is that what you’re saying, Scott? Yeah. It’s um You wouldn’t know they were called two weeks ago. That’s cool there. Oh, no. They They look They look They look very good. Y All right. All right. Let’s go get some get in the carts and we’ll uh fire up. Sounds good. What are you going to do? Rip in it. Rock on. The rocks at home while you’re down here, actually. Probably. Right. So, uh so the first have a go. Yeah. Go for it. I can go. All right. Yeah. First hole. Yeah. First hole. 360 something. Something like that. I’m pretty sure. Up and over. Pretty well. Straight down there. Exactly. Over hill up to the green. Beautiful. Sounds perfect. Scott, it’s a good one. I don’t think we I really need to hit. But see, that’s why Richo’s Well, he’s not allergic to the golf ball, the the camera today. Well, Scotty and I are the same distance. Like, exactly. We’re pretty well twins. These are twins. Yeah. A lot of people would struggle to tell the difference between Yeah. Yeah. Have you noticed that? Cuz we’ve been up these course and they’re going, “Hey, very similar looking.” Yeah. very much. I mean, you’re right. It’s hasn’t missed a fairway in 25 years. Yeah, it’s fine. Yep. Hey, mate. If I hit one, it’ll be pretty well. Rich was saying uh that he was actually going to put it 20 past you today, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love it, don’t he? He always gets you in trouble, don’t he? All right. Two great ones. Good. I’m going to save me good shots for the green. That is that too far left or is that all right? Should be okay. Should be all right. That’s all right. Great shot. Thank you guys. Well done, mate. Have a good round. Yeah, I’ll hit one for you. All righty. My ball’s just there in the rough, which is going to be moved. Well, whoever’s there is there. Uh 120 to the flag down the left. Um there’s what you don’t see cuz I’ve looked at some drone stuff and whatever else. You don’t see all these slopes. There’s some nice uh you te it up. Well, why would you put on the fairway? Well, we’re No. Yeah. No, I’ll probably do the same as him. I don’t like the fairway. Right. 120. Scott says don’t go long. No. Oh god. Is that right? Eight on. Seven. Perfect. Get in the hole. Don’t go long. Get in the hole. Oh, Richo. We even need to hit. Do you like that? Do you like that? So, what club was it? It was an eight on. No. You’re lucky you duffed it. Was that I was going to say that’s not a seven IR. Like I was literally just about to say get down. If that was a seven I that had to get down. You’re a lunatic. You are a lunatic. I don’t have to say it. Yeah. I don’t like to take over. How can Scott film himself? That’s flush, too. Yep. Zoom right in on that. Did that nearly bounce in? I think so. Maybe a tad long. That’s a uh Scott, that was pure. Good shot. That was bloody beautiful, man. Yeah, which I can relax again. The poor fella. I’m good at it. That should That shouldn’t be long. It’s king shaking. Is that up the back? I think that’s a bit up the back. Yeah, had long time. Got some sand there. I think Rich is within a couple feet. Rich is one. Rich is very close. Yours was literally 2 m this side. Yeah. So Rich is in an old hole. What a dominator. That’s Richo’s nickname. You’re the tripod. Richo’s the dominator. As in as in dominatrix. Oh, well, Richo does love a bit of uh I’d hate to do this to you, but way you go because that way then his t-shot his shot. There you go, Scotty. Yeah. Okay. All part of a team, mate. You know, that’s what we are. We are We are the team. Yep. Oh, I better line it up. Do it properly, mate. We’re all good. So, clubhouse up over there. Scott’s noggin over there. And so, that is the tea we’ve come back from near the car park. Those white pegs there. So, beautiful. Bloody lovely. Yeah, mate. Beautiful. Well, you’re not wrong. That’s a tough shot, mate. That’s literally perfect. Yeah. Nice drive. That That’s literally spot on. Well done. I like it. Right. So, now let’s go home. Yeah, that’ll do. See you. Yep. Thanks, guys. Like, subscribe, and share. Newcastle. Thank you very much. Newcastle. Beautiful. Right. Second hole. Richo. Yep. Second hole. Uh, what’ you say it was? 340. 330 something. Yep. So that it’s it’s pretty full on like how much the um the the land moves. I’m just going straight at these big trees up here. Straight at the clump of trees. So somewhere around 220 30 leaves 100 in. It’s moving a bit more, but Oh, it definitely bounced more than once. If you want to move it over, Scott, sorry. Like, only if you want numbers. Yeah, we we we don’t need to, but it’s all right. Probably moved a little bit more, but h I didn’t top it. I’ll take free numbers. Hey, aren’t we fair weather golf? Yeah, I know. You’re here. Grab this bad girl. Yeah, I agree, mate. The Queenslanders for sure, mate. All right. Same as the ones on the rain. Good shot. Good shot, mate. Perfect. Yep. Good shot. Oh, it’s perfect. He says, “I like it.” That’s perfect. Now, I can loosen up now. Well, the last time I hit this, I topped it, so And that was on the was that 12th or 13th at at uh at Horizon. Oh yeah, that was that was very average. It was a cold top too. Good shot. Just a frozen rope. That’s literally the straightest shot I’ve hit for quite a while. So good. Good shot. Don’t go left. Basically, that’s what the story is, Scott. Correct. Do not go left. No. Good shot. Yeah. Well, yeah, it’s warm. See, that’s why. So, my ball here. Um, if you can zap stuff from the tea, if you can zap these trees, well, you don’t want to be that long. I don’t know if you can see these trees from the tea, maybe. Yeah, that that gap there. Yeah. So, basically, if you’re left of them or if you’re left of these trees off the tea, you’re kind of dead. Uh, Richard was fine. Richos and Scots were exact. They are twins. Literally back there, mate. They were I reckon if you measure them out that they were within about an inch. Two peas in a pot. Like, weren’t they? Just two couple of different lines. Yeah, like I said, all it is, but exactly the same, mate. I’ll tell you what, we get a couple photos together, people see. It’s Annie and Danny Dvita. The resemblance is uncanny. Unbelievable. Those BS aren’t just twins and right. Uh 110 playing 115ish playing 120 odd. Uh just because into the wind meters. Yeah, it’s scabbed, but it could be really decent. Well, it certainly kicked to the right, mate. I don’t think that’s a terrible shot. That’s good. Well, it’s I can’t see it, but not through the clubhouse window. Yeah, good shot. I think that’s always the main thing. Got eight. Go a bit. Yeah. Go a little. What was that? Eight. Nine. Yeah. Okay. Cuz it’s on the edge, wasn’t it? Yeah. It’s like borderline for that 9 iron, but I’m going to be all right. No, it’s definitely not a bad shot. Right here. Same as the last little wedge. Go in. Oh, I reckon that’s relatively close, isn’t it? It certainly can’t be too too long if it’s long. I think it’s very I’m going to ring the bell, Richard. Hurt my ears. Wow, it’s history repeating itself here. Uh, my drive, Richo’s second shot, Scott’s putt. Teamwork makes the dream work. Maybe that’s what we’ll call it. Team Teamwork makes the dream work. Uh clubhouse right there. So Scott, you were saying that this is going to be the new 18th. Yeah. Once I think there’s talk there turning dirt uh June July. Okay. They’ve had Rena’s in the works for seven years. So Bob Harrison um who used to work for Greg Norman’s done the full redesign. So should be good. I think a good idea cuz you’re saying 18th over that way is Yeah. It’s over beside the road. But y and do you know what you walk off the 18th if you’ve had a bad round. You can just go straight to your car and go home. Correct. So, it is in some ways it’s a good spot. Yeah. You can get away quick if you need to. Yeah. Yeah. That there you go. Yep. That’s it. I I’ not going into the clubhouse and be embarrassed. I can just keep going. Whereas here, everyone’s heckling you on the deck and Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, it’s Well, they’ll heckle you or they’ll cheer you, won’t they? Correct. I mean, you put in one like that and they’ll be going You would have had to get a cheer, wouldn’t you? Yeah. Or you would hope so for for a shot like that. All right. All the ladies are inside, mate. So, no one cheered you. Right here, Scott. Little bit of left to right. Do you see? Two in a row. So, 10 under our best for the trip. So, let’s make it 11 or better. Oh, goty. Wow. That That was right at the end, too. Easy bar, mate. I dead said that was in the whole way again. It must be just left edge. Look. Yeah, you probably started yours on left. Like it’s less than less than a cup left. Bang. Just like that. Just like that. Oh, well done, captain. Well done, Captain. So, he’s hit a couple of bloody good shots and putted like a demon. That’s it. Newcastle. Easy course. And you know what? Five days of golf. I would have thought that I would have been. All right. What I like is the fact that we’ve been eased into it. Now we got a 200 plus meter par through. Yeah, that’s true. Yeah. So, right. Yes. This could make us unstuck. Two under through two, but a 204 playing par three into the wind. Yep. If you have a look down here, it is on some courses it would be par four. What club you got? Driver. Yeah, two drivers. Three on. Um um what was the last time you walked onto Well, even at Medway where it was 230 m, I still hit a 3-wood. That’s right. Cuz it’s downhill like it’s Yeah, I can’t remember the last time ever I walked on a par three with a driver. So this this has got a sand belty feel. Go for it, Rich. This has got a sand belty feel, but it’s kind of like bribey up home, but more sand belty bunkers and design like rolling sort of mounds and stuff. Yeah. This is the issue with a path through like this, isn’t it? Y Well, could be taken out. So, because there is a bunker short. Is that like 20 m short? This first one? Yeah, that Yeah, that’d be like 40 m short. Okay, I reckon. I tell you what, it’s long is that’s a fair way short. Yes, but like you said, it’s safe. Yeah, it’s definitely a uh tough pass through. Great shot. Right into the green. Good shot. Wow. Good shot. That is right on the front. Good shot. Good shot, mate. How do you boys play this? Bloody hell. Yeah, I was about to say that. That That’s the correct answer. Oh, trying to hit it low and not like that. There’s that layup. Par four we’re talking about. Yeah, perfect layup, Scott. Good shot. Thanks, mate. Think Oh, yeah. Funny enough. Yeah. I mean, should be a whole different hole, wouldn’t it? It’s a solid path through. Yeah, cuz it’s not even a big green for a 200 m hole. No. So, there is plenty back there. You know, it’s it’s So, we’re 240 to there. It’s a good 22530 up the back, right? You want to go? Uh, no, you go. All right, we’ll mix it up. So, this is Scott. Um, Richard was what? Just shy pal. Just shy of front of the green. Yeah, just Yeah, back there. Back there. I would have had a shot anyhow, wouldn’t I? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tough hole. That’s what the members were saying. They just played as a short par four pretty much. And it’s uh index seven or eight. So, it’s like not even the hardest hole. And there’s another par three at 200 or more. Go. Wow. It didn’t quite come back, but great great part. Richo, easy path. Yeah, it’s definitely got a bribey feel to it, but definitely more like you said, Aussie wooded. Yeah, it No, it was pretty good. It just doesn’t quite come all the way back to the right. You want to grab that, Scott? Yeah, you pulled it. I mean, look, if you pulled it, it was just it um it definitely wants to not Yeah. It just holds its line and goes pretty straight, doesn’t it? Yeah, cuz you can see it kind of that middle section want to creep slightly to the right. Yep. But then it doesn’t uh that just doesn’t move. Pulled it. Yeah. Could even be the fringe like that first little inch coming off the fringe. Kind of turned them all that way, I think. But just pull. Well done. Wasn’t good. A par on that sort of holes. Definitely didn’t line it up right. Y. All right. The birdie train’s come to an end. Thanks, mate. He’s gone off like a fire. Firecracker, mate. Come on, Richo. I’m finding out how far it is. I’ve just blame your handle. Fourth hole. 420. Fourth hole. Yeah. Four. Four. It’s long enough. It’s long enough. Yeah. 419. So down up the hill a bit. Yeah. Bunker’s on the inside. I imagine. Uh pretty steep up towards the ground. Little bit left in the shadow there, mate. Hit it straight at all, mate. Anywhere in the sh You’re right. Anywhere in the shadows. In the shadow. Who knows? I’ve got a crowd here. God, I hope I get a tea. Rich loves the pressure. Oh, I wouldn’t necessarily say that. Who knows? He loves the pressure. Don’t walk in front of the tracer, Richo. The best drive I’ve ever seen. That’s perfect. I I don’t think I need to. Well, Scott, come on. Put a 20 past him. All right. Duck. Richo. Duck. So, Scott said he’s going to put a 20 past you. Or I may have said he’s going to put it 20 past you. 20 past Rich. Jeez, mate. I should have You boys. Sorry, boys. You said pulled that one short. You hit it exact same distance as each other. These two should be all right. I was trying to put it 20 past him. Try to put it 20 past him. Rich is Rich is perfect. Rich is perfect. Yeah. Yeah. And this is where this doesn’t really matter. So it’s like it launch it. That’s what I normally perfect. Absolutely perfect. The only reason I hit that one, okay, was because you boys have already hit the fairway. So good. So good. Kind of went went straightish. Pin middle. Yeah, pins middle. So red’s front, blue’s middle. I reckon, Richard, if you hit a five, it’s about right. It’s because you got to remember it’s uphill. And it’s into the wind and it’s pretty steep uphill. So it’s at least a club and a half uphill into the wind. And that’s what I’m saying. I think seven for me is probably a little bit. Have you got Yeah, I was going to say do you have four? Uh yeah, 22 degrees, whatever it is. So that’s where we’re up there. So, this is a par five, but I can see why it’s not easy cuz you hit it left or right, you’re dead and you got bunkers on the inside. And even this this approach so uphill is like you Well, it’s at least playing 160. So, he spun out of it. Yeah. No, I tried. That’s all right. Look, it’s it’s something. Jeez, is that what you call? So, it’s probably Yes. Yeah. So, you got four hybrid? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That breed’s a little stronger. It’s playing closer to 165, maybe even 70. So, y is allergic to the camera. Oh, you did such a good job. Yeah. It wouldn’t last long. Well, that’s on the green, isn’t it? Go. That’s on the green. Good shot. It’s fine. That’s a very, very good shot. So, I’m going back to a six. Yep. I think that’s going to be What? You had You had seven. I had seven. Yeah. I mean, I couldn’t probably hit that better and it’s Yeah. You reckon it’s I mean, I thought it had to go a bit. There’s I think there’s just a bit more wind once it gets above the trees. Yeah. Well, there’s definitely enough breeze into us, isn’t there? Yep. Okay, first. So, on the range, I kind of found something and then I lost it because of like 40 minutes between hitting balls. I hit it well, but like that’s that club face we’re talking about. You did flush that. It’ll be fine. But pure strike path good face not. And that’s what I was saying on the range was good, just not face. Right. Yo, great shot, Scott. You want me to go first? Yes, please. Rich was over there. Mine was way long. So, but it wouldn’t have flown there. Would have kicked off the down slope here. That’s where we’ve come back from. Very, very, very, very, very, very nice, isn’t it? So, this sort of offsets stay up. This this sort of offsets the the long par threes, short par five. But but like you said, when it gets a little bit quick, I can imagine uphill. Yeah. When the greens are normally super speed like they are, Rich’s group four would have been down there like easy. Yeah. You can feel under foot that they’re firmish. Yeah. Oh no. Chuck, check that one there, Scott. Wow, that’s a Yeah, it’s a good pup, but like that’s I was a bit scared off. I’m scared now, too. Bit of a lag, but my speed’s not good at the best of times. So, could almost be at that leaf. See the leaf that’s like 2 m to the left. And then again, it’s speed’s going to be the killer. I can imagine if you lay up down here hitting a wedge into it back in the wind uphill. I could imagine plenty of people. Yeah, she gone. Gone. Spin back down there. Great line. Go. Pushed it and didn’t even hit it. Like have a look at that thing. Hey, look at the brake on it. It’s crazy. I’m not used to this stuff. Rich was going. Rich was keen. Clean it up for Bernie. It’s uh there’s there’s definitely a lot of movement. That’s what I That’s what I thought was going to happen. Al’s got us covered. Hopefully, but like it’s like do you hit it on the edge and then pull it and bang it in? Yep. Beautiful. Like that. That was going off the green if it missed. But yeah, this it’s this way a lot, isn’t it? Yep. Here we are. We’re busy trying to sell. He’s trying to sell me something. How much you want for that? I’ve sold him out. What’s your name, mate? Phil. Phil. Phil. Say Eric. Eric. Eric. Fell Eric. Two members. Yeah, members. Yeah, members. Been here for a while. Yeah. 40. Good spot. 40. Yeah. You don’t look old enough. You must have started when you were what, three? I’m 80. Must be a good cause, mate, if you’ve been here for 40 years. Oh, it’s a great cake. Yeah. Y spot so far with four holes. The first and second of the two holes together like this. Yeah. Cool. Right. I better keep they want to change it. 3 370 on 370. You kept talking cuz it won’t put me off because I’m not that good. Down. Down. Around to the left. You’ve got this, mate. It’s a mis hit, but that that might be safe. Well, mate, no one knew, mate. You’d hit a bloody tree and come back down in the fairway. Wouldn’t be the first time. Couple of veranders over there. Oh, no. Couple of Mirandas. Miranda. Miranda. I was going to say Miranda Curr. Where is she? All right. Yeah, it’s fine. We’ll see that. Yep. I think it’s all right. Definitely have the shape. You always live down this way, mate. Not me, mate. Not you. Absolutely supreme. He loves to show off. Supreme. First time I’ve ever hit a good shot with this club. It must be you, boys. It must be you, boys. Absolutely. Yeah, mate. You can go. So, that’s uh that’s my ball there. Rich was found. Scott was found. No drama there. 121. Playing basically 121 into the wind a little. Sit there. Easy chip on. So yeah, this looks like a real tabletop green. So it looks like the front section falls. Do you have eight? The right. Yeah, I have an eight. Falls. Here you go, Rich. 20. Yeah. 21. So for me that actually right here. Good. Got a TW going too. Oh yeah. Just a tad long. Tad long. What did you hit there, mate? Just a smooth eight. The smoothest of smooth eights. Smooth. You are a smooth guy. Probably could have easily got nine. So again, what is this smooth operator? Smooth criminal. Oh, what is this breeze do? Is it Is it into slightly? Flag’s not really doing much. No, the flag’s definitely not doing much. Oh, you see now it’s into trying to hit one low but not like that. Really good spin now. Spin. Good shot. Yeah, I’ll get away with it. Good shot. Trying to hit it low but hit it two grooves low. Going to go. I’ll go. Al’s stepping up. I’ll go just because uh Rich Richard bought his driver. Yeah, I bought the driver. Well, I was going to chip it on from the edge. Yeah, the driver. Why not? Uh Scott’s ball. Mine was on, but just Scots is probably moving this way a little. Yep. Do you agree? Just a touch. Um anywhere? Yeah, slow downhill, but not not too far. It’s a good putt. It’s a great putt. Oh, it’s a little firm. Wow. It’s a little firm. Great line, though. I thought I thought it was in the queen bee. The queen bee. This is you, Richard. You are the king bee. The king bee. That was like a cup outside, right? I Yeah, like at that speed. I mean, it just needed to be slower, but like it was a good cup outside. I think dead pace. It’s actually probably two. As you can see, it’s back up the hill. Snap. Get in. Oh, it’s basically an identical park. Good. Good part, Rich. Oh, it’s almost Yeah, like I said, it’s a good it’s a good couple of cuffs. Like, it’s solid. Um, that’s back up there. You can see Look at the slopes. And I don’t think you can even see the slopes are that great on camera. right here. It started a little left. I know it’s defensive. It’s Look, it’s a great par. And that’s kind of what happens when you hit it a couple of foot past, isn’t it? Yeah. That’s That’s the putt I I want to par it. I know. Yeah. But that’s that’s how it is because it’s it’s a we have put it a little too far past. Yeah. I didn’t want to go too hard at it, but it’s all right. It’s all good. What are we? Three. Three after five. Three out of five. I mean, it’s definitely solid. I mean, that could have been a nice one to jag. Yeah. Tough little hole. Like, don’t miss this anywhere. No. Kit the green. B. It’s like this. I was saying earlier, it’s kind of like a lot of these greens here like pinehurst where they sit up a bit and everything just runs off. Like down where Richo is down there is a good what four or five meters below us. Like you cop it. So basically you miss it where Richo did to the to the right to the left. Big drop offs. Definitely more drop off to the left of the green and short. Definitely very nice. Right here Rich. What do we got? Number six. So 300 more 390 m from the back. So we’re full white. So 370. So it’s not much different. Nope. But um Scott was saying that they’ve got a a Varden event. So like a ranking event. Correct. Yeah. like it’s like their Newcastle open so to speak each year or that they we call them Vardens down here that AB events and stuff like that. So when was the cause made? 1999 or 08 or I think it was 07 or 08. Okay. Either way. Yeah, it’s pretty good. Five. Okay. Somewhere there. Yep. It’s on there. Right. Come on, Richard. Pop it down there. So, uh it’s just down there. It’s a nice little bit of movement. Look at that. Um, that’s definitely a nice thumbnail right there, but it’s got Richard’s hat in it. I mean, look, you’re not going to be unhappy if it was your own. Well, it down there. It’s fine. Um, so yeah, basically hit it at the hill or at the green really. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. You’ll be laughing. Good old Tele putter. He brought his driver up to put. Could well have been the right right thing to do off this team. Yeah, good one. Good shot. Visually very nice. Copper big kick. It works good there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good shot. I mean, I can’t remember. Sometimes it’s rough there. Sometimes it’s smooth. So, if it’s smooth, it should run all the way down. Bloody lovely. See? No, we are down, Breeze. Which means we were back in there, which means off the fourth, it felt like we were back in the wind, but we probably weren’t. Yeah, it is. It’s a tightish little little spot, isn’t it? Very very good. Yeah, that’ll be perfect. That was actually hit nearly in the middle of the face. Great shot. And that’ll run back down to the middle for sure there. I like it. I like this golf course. Except for if you miss it over there, you’re in the ging. You miss it over here, you’re in the gong. All hazard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I reckon there could be a few lost balls around here. Right. Mine. Um Rich was way back in the fairway. Scots was kind of up on the down slope. sort of on here. So, this is probably not where I expected it to be, but it’s closer. It is closer, but I thought mine was middle of the fairway, man. I was like, I’m in. It’s good. I thought that bad. That could work. Travel. Travel. Travel. Travel. Okay, that sit there. Sit there. Sit there. Stop there, Rich. Stop there. Stop there. Stop. Okay. Oh, just Wow. That’s okay. I mean, that was supposed to be exactly what you got. That’s kind of what I’m feeling like I want to try and do, but see what happens. Yes. We got one there. Just didn’t strike. Come out a little bit. Just didn’t strike it again. It is It is sandy, isn’t it? Sandy. And that pin is like tucked front right. Anywhere left of it is good. Yeah. Go. Go. No, that’s not on the money. Yeah, Richo is fine, but yeah, just mish hit it below your feet. Dead. Nice shot, Richo. Right, I’m standing up on the green. There is a back stop up there, but I mean it would never come all the way back down the hole, but the whole green sits back to front, all the way back down there. So, we were on the left hand side of the fairway. Scott was basically on that little hill just there, which, you know, may have been okay, but the boys behind us, they uh got to play this as a par five basically. Little chip on. Wow, that spun so much. Run up here, Rich. Run up here. That spun so much. Didn’t that check? Yep. It’s spun plenty. Chuck a mark on that. Beautiful. A two. That’s me. All right. It seems a bit a little bit grabby. Certainly a little bit. Bad shot. Yep. Where’s Rich? Got the Yeah, we’ll take Rich where the tea is. Um, a lot of these greens so far look like they’re back to front. Yep. A bit of work for the boys, but it’s a nice after the T-shot thinking that there’s going to be an easy wedge or whatever in. Exactly. It’s turned to uh But the garbage pretty quickly, we straight in. No. All good. Was this thing meant to break? I I thought left edge inside left maybe. You’re right. It is left edge. Yeah. I’ve started that middle of the hole and it’s gone right right then. Scott, save us. No bogeies, please. Save us. No buggies. It’s pretty hard. It’s pretty easy to go downhill after you have a, you know, two birdie starts and basically stump on them. Correct. Oh, how do you not hit that? Oh dear. Center cut though. At least Scott can start his ball on target. The rest of us can’t. First boie. No. Rody over. What are we up to? So we What are we? What are we on the seventh hole? Signature hole here. Seventh hole. Uh so it was 30 something. Yeah, about 130 to that flag. Yep. The uh down fan down the road. Righty. What do you got? Nine. I’ll nine. And I reckon that’s about right. Just straight down there, mate. Well, that’s a decent shot. That’s all right. Look at this. Great shot right at the front, mate. Great shot, Ro. Awesome. Need to go a little bit further. I’m just showing off for you boys. He’s got He’s got the audience. It was the right club though cuz you just you don’t want to go long here at all. So, no. No. Yep. Nice shot. Go in. Go a bit. Go in. Caught a bit. Oh, that was basically bang on. Would have got on. All right, Rich’s on the green. Wouldn’t got on. Probably about three short on. Okay. What’ you return? Nine. That was nine. Y smooth, silky. Spin a bit. Shot. Pin eye. Perfect. It’s off the back. Bloody cover. These members are bloody. They’re hard, are they? Bring them in, mate. Excitement for your day. Oh, mate. I was about to have a heart attack. I thought it was perfect. Trying to get a bit of charisma into your game, man. Those boys. Yeah, those boys are great. Oh, that’s Yeah, they’re the guys you’d have a beer with anytime. Yeah, 100%. Chilled out. Like, again, it’s taken a bit of time, but it is what it is. The course is pure. It’s great to meet the members. Oh, Richo, that’s where we’ve come back from up the hill up there. Left edge, you reckon? Yep. Beautiful spot. Small green. Tiny. Take it straight to the stadium of light. Oh, it just it just stayed basically dead straight. Yep. Happy with that? Yeah, we’re all we’re all happy with that. Great shot, Alan. Thank you. Good shot. It was a wedge playing on like 120 odd. Perfect. Inside left. Don’t leave it short. Don’t leave it short. Oh, it just stayed dead straight. Did. So, actually, did that one sneak a little left? Yeah, it did. Little right. Yeah, just a little right off the bat. Oh, a lot of lip. Yep. A lot of lip. Wow. Good shot. Good hole. Good day. Wave to the boys. Wave to the boys. Not looking. No, they loved it. No. Great. All right. Good. Good little par three like Scott said. Uh what’s this? Seven. Six. Seven. Eight. A very very good stretch. Yeah. Right. Here you go. So, eighth hole. Uh 340. Throw that 30. 331. Yeah. Around to the right. Um this is a good little stretch. There is there is a bit of movement. Like I said, don’t miss that green. It’s uh it’s certainly not a big green. Yes. It’s not long, but uh Scott’s just caught the bunker, which would have been kind of deadish. Yeah. But like you said, probably better to be in there than it is to be over the back over here. So So you’d be over here somewhere. I’ve seen people down over here like it’s just don’t want to be there. Absolute cactus. Yeah. So, straight down there basically. Don’t need to do anything silly. Just straight down the middle. Yeah. And the hole kind of sneaks around a bit. So, righty. Righty o. Very good so far. Hey, I mean I I’d certainly expected the place to be pure. Ah, it’s win. That is pretty much bang on. Correct. Yep. Yeah, it’s fine. I mean, I don’t know if Richard is going to have a hit because that I’m going to have a I don’t even know if my 3-wood’s going to go past that. So, where I am is probably 130 140 in. Yeah. Kiss your kiss your balls and we’ll be right beside each other. Wouldn’t be the first time their balls have kissed today. Father and son. Who’s the father? Well, How old do you reckon, Richie Scott? Uh, I don’t know. 55, 56. Miss. Yeah. Did that kick it straight down? Hard to tell. Yeah, I thought I saw I saw something fall down. I wasn’t too sure what it was. Maybe just a leaf, but either way, I was too busy. I should have backed off. How old are you, Rich? 47. I’ve had a hard life. Wow. No. 58. I was close. Pretty close. Not a bad effort. Good on your dad. 66 I was born. So I’m 44. Yep. I couldn’t Well Well, couldn’t quite be your dad. You could? Yeah. Where where’ you where’d your mom live? Uh Wing. Oh jeez. I have been through there. It was about 40ish years ago. I think he said remember a white panel van. Right. We can’t Oh, you can just see the top of flag. I’ll have to uh zoom in and then hold this up. I’m going to go left. 113. Yeah, 113. Off and up back into the wind. Cut a little. Well, too. Yeah. Just left the screen there. Get a piece. I think I green. Have you? No, I don’t think so. What’ you hit? Nine. That’ll be about right. Yeah, it’ll be close. It’s a It’s a funny one cuz it’s off the up slope. I hit it. It was good. You know, it’s amazing when you buy club that got got a middle in it. Well, these are just a tad more friendly than what you’re used to using, right? Or or your last ones. Oh, yep. Great shot, Scott. It’ll be perfect. Yeah, he was pretty much bang on saying it’s perfect. Yep. Now you can go straight at it, mate. Like hell, I can choose to do that. So, the previous hole was uh was playing that as 120. The wind is everywhere. It feels like it’s at our back. That’s what I thought over it. I just backed off the nine a little cuz it felt downwind for a sec. But but so did the last hole which was a completely different direction. Yep. I’ve guts it a little. It’s just left of yours, but it’s fine. Sit. Oh, one bounce over the bottom groover. That’ll do it. Scots is good. Maybe you can walk forward and zoom in on Scots. But it was uh pretty solid gardening. Gardening. He loves a bit of gardening. Right. You can hold that. So that’s Scots. M and Richos were dead basically. Don’t want to do that. Don’t want to go long. We were just over that uh slope there. But there’s lots of movement here. I like it. Yep. As in land. There’s a It’s left and right, right and left. Couple blind shots. Damn wind. You could probably hit it near nearly on the green. Oh, Steve, he’s all over it. We’re back. So, that’s back to three. Back to three. 10’s looking tough. Oh, he’s done, mate. Par five next. Par five. So, good chance of eagle on the next. So, nice birdie, mate. Beautiful. Very good, Steve. M. Great shot. Great shot. Great T- shot. It’s a team game. Oh, mate. That’s what it’s about. But yeah, get an eagle on the next and we’re kind of back into it. Cooking with gas. Cooking with gas. Don’t want gas these days, mate. That’ll kill the planet, right? That’s true. Cooking with uh fire. What’s the fuel? Wood. Cooking with Steve Richardson after a birdie, mate. Great hole. So, we’re on the ninth here. Par five. You’re right. Was it 567 or 678? 49. Yeah, sorry. 678. It is a pretty good start. Five. 67. So, five is the the saddle green down around to the left. Oh, yes. Six is the one that hitting the the one that we bogeied coming back up the hill and and then the par three. So yeah, 5, six, seven’s the stretch they all talk about. I tell you what, 5, six, seven, eight, and nine so far look pretty good, too. I know. Around to the right slightly. How far? 470. 494 back. 474 from here. Anywhere out the left. Good. Is that come spitting out? Where’ that go? Sort of hooking left. Hey, Richo. Yeah, he’s gone. There’s There’s a thumbnail right there. Piano music out, has he? I mean, he tried to murder that one, which is, you know, not too bad to do. Yeah. Anywhere there’s fine, mate. It did come off the middle. It did, mate. You’ve You’ve actually struck driver pretty good, apart from the couple you’ve top. Yeah, you hit it well with drawing. He’s actually struck them pretty good. Pretty. It looks like a pretty long way up over that bunker. Yeah, that’s horrible. Get lucky. I didn’t hear anything. Well, it might be findable, but it certainly ain’t greenable. It’s not my best greenable. And it’s all up to Al. Can’t have that, mate. But look, it’s pretty wide. Just launch it up there. You’ll be See, I wanted to hit it really hard. Still hit it hard. Absolutely perfect. Good shot. Great shot. Holy crap. It only just come down. Yeah, that’s perfect. I mean, that was in the air for quite a long time, Steve. That was a good shot. And it was just out of the bottom. So spin might still be below three. Steve, put your hat on, mate. No one wants to see that. Yes, I do. Oh, I love it. Um, my ball here. So, I would I didn’t want to go to the right because that is Yahi country. You will never find it again. That’s where I went. Oh, you didn’t even look. Um, if I was trying to take it on a bit more, maybe we could get down the hill. So this is 280 something to here. 284 I think it was from the TE’s to here. And then we’ve got 188 to flag. Slightly down breeze. I think hybrid is perfect. Richard, absolutely perfect. Oh, it’s hit. Okay. Just open face. Safe though. Okay. You got threewood? Yep. Yeah. Safe. Safe. Mr. Safe. Do you like baseball? Oh, it’s okay. Yeah. I think it’s been grown up with Cro and Cricket. Yeah. Scott, this won’t kick into the front. This should be pure. It’s on front edge. It’s the pins right at the front. Like, this looks like actually a tough green from um from where all this is. Four iron. Trying to hook it in and Damn it. Out there somewhere. I think yours is good, mate. Yeah. Damn. I’ve nearly I’ve kind of nearly shanked that. That’s disappointing. Scott, good shot, mate. You’ll have a go. Good shot. Have a go. Have a go. Your mug. Uh down there. Got the country started. Right. Have a go. Oh, you got you could do it. You could do it. Uh, these greens aren’t big and I like I said, I can imagine when they get quick it could be uh Oh, yeah. relatively nasty. Stay up. Great putt, Scott. Tap in birdie. Okay. So, does that make us four? That will make us four. Okay. It would be nice to be five, Richard, because that is half the way to 10 and and he’s he’s great with numbers. You notice that? I mean, how quick he was. Five 10 minus, but I could see it flicking in his head. Elon Musk, mate. Do you know what? Shame didn’t have the camera on him because he actually had penc. If we have five, when we need another five to get 10. Yeah, he’s got 11 fingers. I know. Eagle time. One nut and three fingers. See? See that little pitch mark? I think it’s maybe half a foot above that. Oh, yep. That’s pretty good. Wow. Richard. Oh, that’s how it’s done. Richo. Yes, boys. Yes, please. Oh, Richo, he’s hit the VOP off the tea and now he’s just going, I’ve done it. I’ve done it. How good is that? He’s done the same thing at Winderoo. Snap cut into somebody’s pool, low shank into a a T marker and left into the gong and mine’s hit one up there. And then he’s hold this million footer and he’s like, “Yeah, on the best.” Window was so good. It was all the way to the pro shop. Basically, it was massive. Massive Newcastle Golf Club. We need to thank everyone in the pro shop. Yeah. Again, mint pure. Amazing. This way. We’ll go We’ll go back this way. We’ll go this way. So, there it is. Is the back nine bed in the front or about the same? About the same, I reckon. Okay. So, it’s pure. Beautiful. Great course. Beautiful. One of this would be his highest rank course, I would think. Yeah. Yeah. Enjoy. I don’t like 31 I think. I don’t like to say, you know, best course or whatever else cuz courses are depending on how you play for the day and everything else, but you know, very enjoyable course, great course, great neck. The people in the pro shop were very nice. People on the course have been very nice. You know, bit bit of banter with the group behind us. Um, fantastic. Yeah, Scotty’s been here for the day. You Well, we’ll duck off so these boys can get on there so they don’t give you any too much grief. Beautiful. And don’t forget, smash that like button. You’re say, don’t you? Oh, that’s what they say to say. I don’t know. If you don’t like it, don’t like it. Hit dislike. Who cares? Yep. I don’t care. But anyhow, see you then. Beautiful. See you. of it.

WE COULD PLAY THIS GOLF COURSE EVERYDAY
Australian PGA Professional Alan Staines & Avid Golfer Steve “RICHO” Richardson play NEWCASTLE GOLF CLUB with SCOTT CAMPBELL. NEWCASTLE GOLF COURSE is ranked inside the TOP 30 GOLF COURSES IN AUSTRALIA.

Located at the mouth of the Hunter River, a two hour drive from Sydney, lies a true championship course of 6200 metres (6780 yards). It is based on undulating sand dunes like those of the great historic links of Great Britain and Ireland.

However, instead of fairways lined by gorse and heather, Newcastle is carved out of a forest of eucalypts and angophoras abounding in native flora and fauna, including kookaburras, bearded dragons and wallabies, making it a delightful as well as a challenging course to play.

Although the course is situated only a few kilometres from the busy industrial city and port of Newcastle, the wide bands of trees separating the fairways give a feeling of peaceful isolation from the cares of the world.

Facilities include a full-length practice fairway, large chipping and putting greens, fully serviced golf shop, bar and cafe.
