Golf in Karumba

Well this was an experience i wont forget. Yesterday Mike, Ben, Darren and I decided to play a round of golf. Its a 9 hole golf course and if you've read my other blogs you'll know that the greens are made of sand. So we rocked up there all keen and eager to lay into it. Just pay when you've finished they said. So we got some spare clubs out of the back shed and headed for the No.1 tee. It took about 2 mins before we realized that one set of golf clubs were left handed. And 10 minutes for Ben to discover that there was only 1 set of golf clubs that were right handed. So off we went, the 4 of us with one set of clubs. The No.4 iron didnt have a handle so that was out. The No.3 had a great big bend in it. And we only had 1 putter, but dont worry we had 3 No.9 irons. As usual I hit perfectly straight right down the middle, now when i say middle, imagine your in the middle of a desert aiming for the flag you can see in the distance. I swear, without a word of a lie that someone went around the whole course with roundup and sprayed all the grass. There was not one blade of green grass to be seen. The others hit pretty straight too but just not at the flag, ha ha ha. And then you take your first few steps and it hits you. TAHUNA - yep dodging the sheep shit. Only here your dodging the Wallaby shit, ha ha ha. I had to laugh out loud at that one, no one else understood. So in heat that was hitting the 30's we proceeded hole to hole. It only took Mike 3 holes to figure out that he could putt it in one if he made a channel from his ball to the hole with his golf club. By hole No.6 we were buggered, had lost several balls, had no tee's left, had been playing for 2 hours already and to be honest to many beers for such a hot day. They charged us $3 each for our round of golf. And so we all piled in the car and buggered off home. Sometimes life in Karumba is just to bloody hard.
