Anyone for golf?

Here is a photo of the local golf course. You can see some of the fairway and the 'green' (more on that later) and the track around the golf course for buggies. It is in much better condition that it was when we lived here 10 years ago. The fairways are actually grass now whereas they used to be mown spinifex, ie spinifex that had been mown 'flat' . They were really rough and your golf ball didn't exactly glide across them! The course does still have it's sand 'greens' though. You know how in a normal golf course the green would be smooth, perfectly level, perfectly manicured turf? Yeah, that's not gonna happen here. Instead we have sand for the 'green' that has to be smoothed before you take your shot and then raked when you have finished. It's all very technical (NOT!). In this picture you can see where Red Dirt Central takes it's name. The sand is not the normal white beach-type sand one would expect, it is dirt. Red dirt. The redder, the better!
