No golfers in the house?

Sand courses the norm west of the Great Divide.

Queensland has many of them.

I've never seen a golf course like this before, but then again I grew up in melbourne and only lived in the outback for a year

You piss more in one toilet visit that many western areas of Queensland gets in rain in a year, so it is not so much courses like these are by design, it is by necessity.

Sand greens at least on most Western Queensland and NSW golf courses are a given - what you get on the tee and fairway is pretty much what you get.

He he

I always remember telling the Americans that watched "Survivor: Outback" that where that was filmed (West of Townsville) was only just over an hours drive to the nearest McDonalds.

Hardly the outback as we know it.

For the record, Lightning Ridge is outback, much like the opal fields out around Winton (1700 km northwest of Brisbane, west of Longreach, and about 800 or so Km inland).

Amazing country.

Boring, but amazing.

;-)

LOL how do you avoid the "sand traps?"

The only "drop" allowed is the beers between holes.

It is Amazing country, but I'd rather something closer to a beach, I'm going back to Melbourne hopefully in the next few weeks to a month, I couldn't handle another summer here it gets up round 50c here and I'm too old to cop that kinda heat now, specally without having a beach or river close by, I miss the water

**RevSand** · 10-14-2007, 03:44 AM

Looks like a redneck golf course in the south US...

**yahoo-xxx-girls.com** · 10-14-2007, 03:49 AM

**Mutt** · 10-14-2007, 03:50 AM

jesus that looks like a bleak place to live. at least American rednecks live in some pretty country.

there are golf courses like that up in the Canadian Northwest Territories - no grass up there - nicer looking than that one but similar.

**Bird** · 10-14-2007, 03:57 AM

Nice, I'd hit it.

**KingK7** · 10-14-2007, 04:04 AM

Damn... I bet there are a shitload of snakes around there, just to top it off.

**Violetta** · 10-14-2007, 04:05 AM

haha... that IS dry!

**who** · 10-14-2007, 04:10 AM

I like the falcon someone's turned into a convertable.

**OzMan** · 10-14-2007, 07:48 AM

Plenty like that in WA too in country towns without much rain. The green is a "brown" consisting of oil mixed with sand. You have a rake kinda thing to smooth a path from your ball to the hole and then once everyone is done you are supposed to smooth the whole brown for the next group.

**baddog** · 10-14-2007, 07:54 AM

What are the hazards like?

**Vitasoy** · 10-14-2007, 08:16 AM

Make something out of nothing.
