Some pics from Renmark Visit

We were in the riverland at Renmark again recently.

Some pics from the trip.

I had a relaxing hour wandering the Renmark Golf Course.

A get together  of some of our Renmark and Adelaide and Canberra members of the Longs,Thompsons and Fowerakers was an excellent opportunity for a rare game of Golf at The Renmark Country Club.
South Australia is in the grip of a heat wave so an early start was a good idea.
It was nice and cool to start with but by the time we got to the 16th hole the heat exhaustion was setting in so we retired to the club house.
At that time Josh led Jamie by one stroke and then I and Rob and Dave were the also rans.
Nonetheless we had a wonderful game of golf with all of us hitting winners at times but some we weren't so proud of.
The Renmark Course is a picturesque Australian Country Golf Course with good facilities.
There is wildlife to enjoy as well with lots of native birds and kangaroos a plenty.
Here are a few snaps.

The Great Game of Golf

As a golfer I am a much better at just about anything else.
If you saw some of my shots of edited highlights you might think I was quite good.
My son Jamie is quite an accomplished golfer.
Our excuse on this day, and for this particular hole you are about to see, was that we were listening to to the first reports of the devastating Indonesian Tsunami as we moved around the course and this was distressing and distracting.
First a couple of warm up shots by Jamie and then we take on the 15th Par 3 at the  Renmark Golf Course in South Australia.
Like most games of golf this hole was tackled with optimistic intentions.
I was not allowed to film anymore after this take.
