Then it was the drive back home to his place, where I’d left my car, and I drive home from there. We finished at lunch time, so stopped on the drive back to have lunch at a place not far from the golf course. Previously on 18 hole courses I’d been scoring totals around 130-140 strokes. Totalling up our scores after 18 holes, he had scored exactly 100 strokes. He said he hoped to score under 100 as a birthday treat. My friend had invited me for this round as it was his birthday. And then I putted it in for the birdie! That was the highlight of the day. I did a pitch over the sand and landed on the green, about 2.5 metres from the hole. I hit around the left of the trees and ended up here as shown in the photo. The tee shot here is blind, with the green behind a clump of trees.
I did however manage a birdie on a later hole, the par 4 13th: I had a chance at a birdie if I’d sunk the putt, but I needed two putts, so scored par. It landed on the green, about 40 centimetres from the hole (I saw the pitch mark where it had bounced), and rolled a couple of metres further behind. This photo actually shows my ball after I hit my tee shot. Hole 7 is a short par 3 across this small pond. Fortunately I managed to connect cleanly and made it over easily with a nice drive.Ī couple of holes later is another water hazard, this course’s signature hole: So I really needed to hit this one well to clear that water. On the first four holes I’d hit poorly with the driver, sending the ball skimming low across the grass. Boomerang Golf Course is a beautiful 18-hole public course located just 60 minutes south of Sydney on top of the Illawarra escarpment.

This was scary, because I’m still getting the hang of hitting my driver with the new techniques I picked up during the lesson I had a couple of weeks ago. You have to hit over the water and towards the yellow flag in the distance (between the two golfers). It has three holes where you have to hit over water hazards. It’s not a particularly fancy course, but was nice enough. So in some places on the course we had views of the ocean, and also back north along the coast to the city. It’s situated on top of the Illawarra Escarpment, a plateau that drops off in a cliff to a narrow strip of land along the coast.
This a shortish 18-hole course about 60 km south of the city centre. “It has been an amazing collaboration between School District 6 and various departments of the City of Greeley.My golfing friend invited me today to join him for a round at Boomerang Golf Course. “We are so excited that the Boomerang Back nine holes are finally open for play,” Snook said in the press release. Officials from the City of Greeley and Greeley-Evans School District 6 agreed on a land swap to clear the way for the construction of the new Tointon Academy of Pre-Engineering – a K-8 school. The holes closed in May 2021 to allow workers to build an irrigation pond, pumping station and new golf holes. The reopening on Friday included a ribbon-cutting ceremony with remarks from Greeley Mayor John Gates, Assistant Superintendent of Support Services for Greeley-Evans School District 6 Kent Henson, Greeley Water and Sewer Chief Engineer Adam Prior, Course Director Wayne Leighton and interim Director of Culture, Parks and Recreation, Kelly Snook. According to a press release, the city of Greeley reopened the 9-hole Boomerang Links golf course on Sunday after extensive construction work.
