 The Highs and the Lows of Dunedin


Hmm!

I have been finding it hard to get up to date with  the  recounting of the Dunedin adventure.
In part this is because it was quite an emotional time for me and I am a little at a loss as to know where to begin my tale.

Obviously there are the golf courses themselves , both the hilly and the flat I could write about.

And certainly if you are only interested in my scores to date I can tell you that in Dunedin,
despite the mizzle and the graupel(yes you may have to get out your dictionary at this point) that in 8 days I managed to play :



7 golf courses

A stirling effort and as my osteopath noted, not surprising that I now have a slight touch of Golfer's Elbow! 

I am now under strict orders to have rest days between games and possibly be prudent enough to only play a couple of times a week until my elbow heals.



I took some LOW roads  to golfing happiness....

..the flattish courses that did not require Leki sticks to clamber up the fairways:




Lower Waitaki
Otakou




Ten and counting- at Twelve Oaks


There was some MIDDLE ground at Waikouaiti with mixed terrain:

 




And of course there were the HIGH roads , the arduous and muddy tracts
of golfing heaven:




Mt Cutten overlooking Port Chalmers

Port Chalmers-perspective is deceiving





St Clair-going up the 12th







Steep Gradient to the flag-Belleknowes 8th



Those of you following this journey  and counting along the courses with me will know  that the overall courses played now number.....








23




 But that is just part of the story......................
