Had my 2nd round with my new irons today - all I can say is wow!

These irons combined with the KBS shafts are phenomenal! Great launch angles, fantastic flight, and long!

They are light years from the PX5.5s I used to have and feel so much nicer.

I basically chose these because of the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer and also after reading TC's experience with the same shaft set up in his RXT's. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for new irons to go down this route - you won't regret it!

now that is a beautiful looking course. glad to hear your wife and daughter are good.

in about 10 years you could see that course being alot tougher when the trees mature, be good fun

**eliniaguilefp7m** · 07-24-2011, 06:27 PM

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the dues are under $1,000 USD annually. Wow!

Thanks for the feedback guys - it is a great piece of property that's for sure.

As to why I left - my daughter was born just over 4 years ago, and 13 weeks early. Those of you who are parents will know how early that is. Everything was fine although she stayed in hospital for almost 3 months.

She came home and everything was sweet, then in the October my wife fell down some stairs and injured her head and brain.

I then made the decision to move to a club 10 minutes from home rather than 45 minutes away.

Now my wife is better and my daughter is almost 4 and a half, so it's time to rejoin.

There you have it.

Glad to hear that everything is ok now with your wife and child, and congrats on the beautiful course. If I'm every in that neck of the woods, expect a PM.

**Effopsytupt** · 07-24-2011, 11:58 PM

Awesome course! I'm jealous.

**fuslkdhfma** · 07-25-2011, 12:15 AM

Great Course emjoy..Glad all is well with Family

**CuittisIL** · 07-31-2011, 09:45 AM

Played my first round today since moving back to Muriwai.

It was a shocker (95) - I putted well but get this...not one GIR! My iron play was appalling, just soooo bad I can't really understand what happened.

However it was an enjoyable round at a great (and tough) course.

Some picks below - these range from the road in, the practice chipping green plus some pics out on the course.

As you can see we're on the coast - West Coast of Auckland.

Enjoy

The biggest question I have is, WHY WOULD YOU EVER LEAVE THIS CLUB IN THE FIRST PLACE??????????????????????????? LOL

You read my mind. Just gorgeous.

Although, after reading the rest of the thread - a very good reason would be the answer.

**Caliwany** · 07-31-2011, 10:31 AM

What a stunning course that is. I think you made a great decision moving that club as well. Enjoy the year round golf, and I'm looking forward to your journey of getting to a 9 handicap!

Good decision and know exactly what you mean. That 30 min makes a difference and still gives you an outlet that you desperately need. I just truly hope wife is ok. I've got to come to NZ what a beautiful country

**CuittisIL** · 12-07-2011, 10:16 AM

I've been a member of my current club for about 2 years. One of the main problems with it Ishtar in the wet Auckland months (End of April-end of August really) our course is almost unplayable. The club is fun, good people, but I just feel it's a waste of 4 months golfing.

So I decided to go back to a club I used to be a member of:

Muriwai Golf Club

The course is situated on the West Coast of Auckland, it's sand based and is a semi-links course. The great thing is that as it's sand based it's pretty much never closed due to rain/weather etc.

The course is just under 6,200 meters long from the men's club and championship tees (just under 6,800 yards) so pretty long. Some if the holes play into the prevailing wind so it's a real challenge.

I'm really looking forward to going back to Muriwai and playing one if if not the best courses in the region.

Here's a link to their website

http://www.muriwaigolfclub.co.nz/home.aspx

And here is the gallery of holes - http://www.muriwaigolfclub.co.nz/gallery.aspx - check out the 8th green, this is the signature hole facing the ocean. This hole us approx 150 meters and plays anything from a wedge to driver depending on the wind.

I'll update this thread in my progress. I expect my HI to go out a bit while I get used to the course again, then hopefully it'll come back down to where I want it - currently an index if 11 and my goal is a playing handicap of 9.

It's gonna be fun!!!

What a gorgeous piece of property! Looks like a great place to call home once again. Good luck on your journey to lower the cap back down!

**Yarikoff** · 12-07-2011, 11:11 AM

The meeting of land and sea is always a grand sight. Good to have choices, enjoy your new old home course!

Beautiful course, I am surprised at how few bunkers there are. I agree with moving to a course that I could play year round, that is a long block of days for a course to be almost unplayable.

**fuslkdhfma** · 12-07-2011, 03:46 PM

Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Enjoy

**Qahtwugc** · 12-07-2011, 03:53 PM

That place is gorgeous. Every time I see people joining these beautiful courses, it makes me super jealous but at the same time happy for you guys. I know in my life time I will never be able to afford joining a golf club and I am okay with that.

**new-nickname-zanovo** · 12-07-2011, 04:12 PM

That looks like a great course.

**limpoporanique** · 12-07-2011, 04:16 PM

That is a great looking course! I wish I had something like that around here!

**55Beaphable** · 12-07-2011, 04:27 PM

Beautiful. Hope you get your months of golf back.
