golfing nightmare


Guessing competition. Where is this golf course? What hole is it? How many Roffs have come to grief here?

I'll get the place right: Narooma. I think it's the seventh hole - you have two options: hit along the fairway and then dog-leg left to the green OR try to hit straight across the cliff. The answer to the last part of your quiz is that ALL Roffs who have played there have come to grief. If you hit a little too big, you go off the cliff on the other side of the hole..

I had a friend (no, it's true) who used to dive for golf balls at the bottom of that hole and the sale of said golf balls PAID FOR HIS HOLIDAY!
He is eternally grateful to the Roffs, particularly Glen! We have to play that course again, but this time we will show it who's boss!

Grant, close, it is Narooma and it is the 3rd hole. the 4th also has a small cliff to carry over which is no good if you are feeling blue after 3. The 3rd from the back markers is about 160m. The wind can pick up there so what club you use could vary a lot. You can bail out right but you have to negotiate a tree which might send your ball pacific bound anyway. I will enclose another picture of the hole from the championship markers.
