Absolute Golf and the Worlds Largest Golf Society

It's been another big week for Absolute Golf this week culminating with David and I taking a group out to Lynwood Country Club for an 18 hole On-Course Golf Day, Saturday was busy with David teaching at Dural all day and I had the morning at Sydney Olympic Park and the afternoon On-Course at Wallacia with three regulars for 9 holes. These On-Course days have proven to be very popular with all attendees agreeing that the golf course really is the best place to learn how to play golf. The guys (and girls) tend to leave the day with something to work on with their swings, something more on their short games, something more to work on with the influences of the course as well as some course management and game planning advice. It is like 4 lessons in one and they get to do it on a great golf course while enjoying good company. Could it be any better. The best advertisement for the success of the days is how quickly they book out and boy do they book out quick. If you are looking for a Lesson on Golf not just a Swing Lesson (and don't confuse the two because they are different) contact us to or go to the website and check out the dates for our upcoming events. Find one you like and book in today. We will put you on the road to improvement and better golf.

Dave and I had the pleasure spending our first day with our new friends The Nomads Golf Society. The group started in South Africa with the premise of people enjoying good golf, good company and giving back to the comunity. Sydney has two Nomads Golf clubs (North and South) who play some of the best courses in Sydney and do some great work in raising money for the Cancer Council as well as Jack Newton Junior Golf (more than $200K of charitable donations over 7 years) and yesterday the two groups got together at Macquarie Links Golf Club for their annual inter-club challenge. Dave and I ran one of our trademark putting clinics for the boys on green reading which went down a treat and seemed to be enjoyed by everyone involved. We turned a few heads with some of the things we were able to show the guys and got a great response in the questions that were asked as well as the feed back that came back. Mark Dover Souths Club Captain, even credited two monster putts he hold to the understanding of what came out of the clinic.
After the clinic Dave and I got to play with some regular members of the group and take part of the inter-club matches as well as playing in the event of the day. I had the pleasure of partnering new friend Anton from the Norths club to a strong victory over Souths club members Jonty and Anthony. The game was played in great spirit but thankfully Anton played some great golf and ultimately ended up winning the Nomads champion of the day as well as runner up in his division for the overall group. I was even lucky enough to pick up runner up in the A Grade nett even though i limped into the clubhouse over the last few holes. David did nothing to startling with his round but enjoyed the opportunity to have a round of golf and looks forward to playing well next time round.

After the golf we went inside for presentations and a run down of the days activities which included the list of fines that are handed out amongst players (one of the ways they raise money for the charities and great fun) where i was even offered a fine for offering late advice to one of my playing opponents (after we had already won) which he took on board and played some great golf back to the club. Anthony had showed too much promise to offer the advice before we had finished them off and any way it was all for a good cause (and that's my excuse and i am sticking to it).

Thank you to our our new friends at The Nomads. Dave and I look very much forward to being involved with this great group of golfers and we hope to be able to do some good things in the future.

See you on the course.
