Im just wondering who else has been out to Aqua Golf out at penrith and how far they can hit the ball? Also how far is it to the bank on the other side of the pond?

I managed to hit the ball over the bank on the other side of the pond quite a few times. Is that good for a sand wedge?

i went once before and couldn't get it near the bank. This time i had a look at how to hit a golf ball on the net before I went and it worked. I think the gym might have helped aswell. The pond is about 130m to the back.

It was funny because the chick I went with plays golf occasionally and I have only played aqua golf once before. The first ball went near the back of the pond and the second one cleared it. it was funny.

mmmmmm... sandwedge.

yeah ive hit it across to the other side but it swung over to the left and over the fence.

the driving range at homebush is pretty cool too. the guy who drives the buggy that collects the golf balls gets easier to hit every time.

Thats what I said when I picked up the club.

I am going to have to make visits to driving ranges a little more frequent.

Would many other people be interested in going? Not just aqua golf, but any nearby driving range.

lol used to go there everyday instead of uni- i was a dipshit

if you lean back and hit it with the bottom edge of the club, ie not with the face at all, its the same as cricket or baseball. we used to get 20-30 a bucket way over the building on the otherside. when they hit the roof they bounce straight up to an amazing height...

good to show the girls lol. im not a big guy but i have played a bit of golf with my dad as a kid aswell as baseball so you should manage it easy. they will probably kick ou out tho, as there are often people over the other side

The pond is about 130m to the back.

I believe it's slightly further than that as 10yrs ago when I used to play golf (seriously) I used to hit my PW 130m accurately so i'd say it's close to 150m.

I've been going there for about ~16yrs when I was just a young lad (used to live 200m from it at the back paddock and my golf coach worked there so gave me free buckets).

Bahahahah ! I Love Aqua golf ! Been there plenty of times to get rid of a lot of pent up aggression from work issues. I hate golf somthing awful and a mate of mine introed me to aqua golf. Hes a total golf nut and has got $600 and $700 clubs !!!! Gave me a lesson with the pitching wedge on how to chip correctally. After watching him for a while he asked if I wanted a go and by this time I had enough of his superiour BS golf crap. Took the club off him and proceeded to use the same basiic method for batting in base ball and belted the fist ball right across to the other side ! Funny thing was he then told me I shouldnt be able to do that with a pitching wedge so I did it again just ot pizz him off some more ! It was very funny to see the look on his face !!!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
