South Island Golfing Expedition

Wasting no time leaving work at 5pm Thursday afternoon it was a mad mission to ensure we make our flight to christchurch on time. We arrived to the airport given traffic had been very forgiving and had plenty of time to test Simon's new titleist driver. On arriving into Christchurch we picked up the rental Ford Territory and checked into Charlie Brown's Backpackers before heading off into the town.
We met up with Warren and Jason after waiting in line for 45 mins and then the first taste of speights reached our belly's.
The following morning we had breakfast, gathered some groceries and then headed to Terrace Downs, where we must've arrived somewhere between 11am and 12noon.
Before tee-off we headed down to the driving range to work out the kinks before heading onto the course. The entire weekend we were plagued with wind that absolutely brutalised our game play where the long par 4's were each extended by at least 50 meters.
my Shots of the week are, Jason on the 9th hole driving 330+ meters then an amazing chip to miss an eagle by half an inch, gutted. My third shot on the 7th hole that hit a rock and checked short of the green, Simon with the two iron punch into about 29knot wind head on, and my moment of the week is Jason's amazing 100 meter sprint down the fairway chasing after his hat, classic moments.
It was a full weekend of golf that saw us in our down time watch the European PGA, the Aussie Open and the Challenge being played at Sun City South Africa.
Unfortunately we did take in New Zealands humiliating defeat in the cricket to Aussie but lets not go there.
All in all it was a great weekend, just needed the wind to die down so we could actually play true golf but such is the way of the golfing gods.
So where did we go? well take a look at this... This photo was taken from the 8th tee over looking the 7th fairway up towards the mountains.
