One more from the front nine at @thekinlochclub. Absolutely spectacular. @thousandgreens #thepowerfade #whyilovethisgame #kiwigolf #newzealand #newzealandgolf #nicklaus #kinloch #golf #golfporn #golfphotos #golfphotographyThose who have played with me probably know I'm not the biggest fan of Nicklaus courses. I've come around slightly since I started hitting a fade, but still not my favorites. @thekinlochclub is the course that is the exception to the rule. This is one of the few courses in the world where I think you can actually see how undulated the fairways are in the pictures. Also, the front and back nines are entirely different in scale and how they play, which makes this a treat to play. Here's a shot of the first green that is a bit of an artistic experiment for me. My advice if you're going to New Zealand, stop in and play. And make sure you go to the right Kinloch Club 🤣 @thousandgreens #newzealand #newzealandgolf #kiwigolf #nicklaus #golfart #golf #golfporn #golfphotos #golfphotography #golf #thepowerfade #whyilovethisgameMy most sincere apologies for the delay between posts. To make up for it, here are 5 images from the infamous "fingers" at Cape Kidnappers! These holes were truly breathtaking, but felt very playable despite the fact that your ball could fall off the edge of the world on both sides of the hole. This part of the trip also reminded me of exactly how small the world can be. I'd flown nearly 11,000km, but met someone on the driving range wearing a hat from my own club. Upon further investigation, it turns out that it was the sister and brother-in-law of the member with whom I'd played my last round prior to this very trip. #smallworld #whyilovethisgame #capekidnappers #kiwigolf #thepowerfade #golf #golfporn #golfphotos #golfphotography #x100f #fujilove #fujifilmx100f #fujifilm #fujiframez #adobelightroomA view not often seen of Cape Kidnappers... The starting holes don't feature the signature "finger" cliffs often shown in drone shots of this incredible property. Pictured here is the par 3 third hole that takes no prisoners and demands a heroic shot. @thousandgreens #whyilovethisgame #thepowerfade #capekidnappers #newzealand #newzealandgolf #kiwigolfAt some point, despite my best attempts, I had to leave Melbourne and head to New Zealand to meet up with @thousandgreens for the second leg of this epic adventure. Pictured here is @paraparaumu_beach_golf_club on a misty day. 18 here was the perfect warmup for what turned out to be one of the best golf stories of my life. Don't worry, @gunga_galunga_golf, they're coming ;) #whyilovethisgame #thepowerfade #kiwigolf #newzealand #newzealandgolf #paraparaumubeach #paraparaumuAnd now back to our regularly scheduled programming... The par 3 11th hole at @yarrayarragolfclub tends to get all of the praise at this wonderful member's course, but my personal favorite was the par 3 15th. This brutally difficult, short one shotter is the kind of hole that allows a member steal a match from an unsuspecting guest. Danger lurks for even the slightest miss. I hope I get to go back to see all of @doakgolf's updates! #whyilovethisgame #thepowerfade #golf #golfphotos #golfphotography #golfporn #fujifilm #fujix100f #x100f #fujifilmx100f #fujilove #aussiegolf #australia #golfdownunderCategories

[…] also probably doesn’t help my bias that I nearly aced the par 3 fourth hole (see below and POTW 6). Near Ace – Par 3 […]
