Morning meeting at Yarra Bend
November 6th, 2009 by Doogs
Played an early Friday round of golf at Yarra Bend with colleagues Emma, Nic, Chris and Nige. Teed off a 6:30am on a sensational morning. With not many other players out we teed off as a 5 on the backnine.
Yarra Bend is in excellent condition, especially for the amount of traffic the course gets. Apparently there are plans to redevelop the course over the next year. There are some improvements that could be made, especially to the dinky par 3s but holes such as the 2nd, 16th, 17th are classic holes and should be kept.
The driver wasnt great, though I need to focus on the takeaway which is probably getting too inside. But the irons were pretty good, as was the short game. Definitely need a new 3 wood!!!!

Agreed. The 16th hole is one of my favourites, along with 2nd and 17th. I also like the 12th hole. I heard that they want to put in a driving range at Yarra Bend as part of the redevelopment, but they’ve been talking about this for years.
