Excellent from go to woa.

The Queensland Surf Championships were held on this week. There was plenty of action with a number of events going on at the same time. Mid March is the National Championships. They will have 5000 competitors at that one. All golfers should try and see one of these truly Australians events.

Burliegh Heads walk is a very pleasant 45 min walk through the forest and along the ocean. If you are looking for something to do give it a go.

We played our final Queensland round of golf for this year at the Banora, where it all started. The course is in great shape.

Now that it is the first of March and the last weekend of the Australian summer has come and gone the weather is starting to change a bit. Yesterday we had 4 rain showers move through the area and the temperature dropped to 25 for the days high. Last night we shut off the fan for the first time. Today the high is only going to be 26.

Good news for next years golfers. We now have a very good practice facility in Kingscliff. Jeff at Chinderah has agreed to give us 2 for 1 on a bucket of balls next year. They have a good range with chipping and putting as well. This will help golfers tune up their skills and pass some time while waiting for their next round of golf. Most of our golfers tried the course and liked the fact that they could just walk on. The par is only 60 with 29 out and 31 in. They have 6 par 4s and no par fives.

With Tweed Coolangatta coming on as our Gold Coast unlimited course and Chinderah as our practice area our packages will be even better next year.

Today we move south to Bryon Bay. From there we will play the northern NSW courses of Ocean Shores, Byron, Ballina,Yamba and Muwillinmbah. This year a lot of the golfers liked Ocean Shores and Muwillinbah courses the best.

Once we have played these courses we will have 20 different courses from Noosa on the Sunshine Coast to Yamba on the Northern NSW coast. If we get a chance we will try for Bonville in Coffs Harbour as it is considered the number one course by many in Australia. The golf guide ranks it number 9 overall, 15th best design, 20 best conditions and number one for aesthetics. We have also played Horizons in Nelson Bay and many different courses on the central and south coasts of NSW.

While there are many fine courses on the eastern coast of Australia only the Gold and Sunshine Coasts offer a large amount of courses in a small area. There are courses for every budget and every type of golfer on the SE Queensland coast.

I will continue this blog until we get home on April 7th, still reporting on interesting courses, special tours or events as well as the weather.

Next year's golfers will be able to read this blog and find out more about the total experience that a waits them down under.
