Golf game went spikey at Leongatha Golf Club

This echidna wasnt happy with golfers intruding on its space on the 10th fairway
Stayed at Inverloch in South Gippsland (2 hours from Melbourne) over the Australia Day Long Weekend. Packed the clubs (of course) and played nearby Leongatha Golf Club with Jack and Kim, and the two boys. Leongatha is an excellent country course, heavily treed, undulating and great condition. The course winds over a large hill, with many dogleg holes, blind tee shots and changes of direction, The two boys played nine holes, we continued on for the full 18. The game itself fell away from the career best form at Moonah Links, and much like the Echidna above, turned spikey. So got frustrated early, then combined with poor shot selection on a course that needs thought and local knowledge, the score ballooned. Nonetheless, and enjoyable morning of golf.
Leongatha can be added to the official “Hidden Gems” list, definitely recommend if in the area

Doogs,
Love the pic with the echidna.
Is there any chance you could email it to me to put in the local newspaper – Sentinel-Times, which has golf pages and results? Very happy to put a ‘photo courtesy of…’
Glad you liked the Leongatha course. You should check out Meeniyan too – very picturesque.
