The second course detailed in my quest to play them all is Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club. I played here most recently 0n Good Friday (2 April 2010). It's a course I have played many times, my father has been a member there for 35+ years and we played here every Boxing Day against our great friends and old foes the Archibald family.This round was one of my worst in years. Not sure why, it wasn't a bad day and the wind wasn't a factor as it can often be. I shot 102, putted like a donkey and hit shots that are beyond comprehension. However, as they say, a bad day on the course is better than a great day in the office and it was great to get out with a couple of old mates - even if they did make me look like a beginner!
There were little highlights during the round for me but I did manage 3 pars, including the 18th - something that will get me back playing again very soon!
The 18th green.

I had the opportunity to get out at Paraparaumu again. This was one of the few rounds where I played off the blue tees and I struggled through to a 96. The front 9 wasn't too bad as it included 2 shots out of a bunker. However, I couldn't buy a putt all day!
