After a relaxing Saturday, David and I had to wake up early because we had a 9AM tee time at Warringah Golf Club. We took the bus to the golf course, which was a short ride away. The green fees were actually decently priced compared to the US. The strange part was how there was no real starter so after we paid, we just started on the course by ourselves.
The course was very flat and there weren't that many bugs because these fly traps were hanging in the trees near the tees and greens.
It was a beautiful day and even though we had to wait sometimes for the people in front of me, we played very fast.
We found an interesting golf ball washer.
It was interesting because it was branded with "David" all over it.
After golfing, we headed back home. We decided to get some wedges and sit by the beach. They were having a carnival day, where the different beach clubs around the area were competing. All these children were competing in various relays. Afterwards, we wandered around the Corso before we headed back to our apartment. We went to the pool that was in our building and it was the first non salt water pool that I've heard of in Australia!!! It was very exciting and we'll probably hang around the pool some more now.
Australia's interesting fact of the day: Cable TV. Very few people in Australia have cable television and it's also very expensive to get. Everyone else lives on the 5 basic channels that are free. The only problem with these 5 channels is that 2 of them usually play random stuff, so it's really only 3 channels. It's very different from the US, but I'm learning to live off of these 3 channels.
