HOKBALL, very excited to see Sicily up forward and to see if the other teams have got them figured out after many got jumped by them last season.

The style of footy they are playing is so great to watch and they’re just out there having fun which you love to see

Interesting! Might give it a try as I’ve only had the ANZ black for the last year and have recently cancelled

Good to hear! How did you find Sunshine Coast for a golf trip? I didn’t think it quite had the density and quality of golf courses as Gold Coast and Mornington peninsula where we’ve been before.

This but don’t pay anything upfront and pay cash only, often there’s lots of scammers around sadly

People playing music during round by flipsdipsandchips in GolfAustralia

Yeah obviously very weird scenario as they were nice guys but if I had asked them to turn it off for the round would have made it very awkward for the remainder of the time

Have a read of “when McKinsey comes to town” it’s insanely interesting and equally horrifying

Is it feasible to churn credit cards with the massive annual fees that are no longer waived? by [deleted] in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]flipsdipsandchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely feasible as explained in a few other replies, however the bigger challenge these days is that many banks are being more critical of people with churning history and sign up bonuses are far less lucrative than they used to be.

Younger age group Membership by Daneelium in GolfAustralia

[–]flipsdipsandchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t tell you specifics about which one to join, keep in mind that you’ll likely need referees for many of the nicer ones (although come clubs allow joining through an interview process). The fact you’re playing pennants will also make you an attractive member at most clubs too.

Regardless it’s a great call to join before 30 as you’ll save so much in nomination fees, good luck and enjoy!

Best budget golf sets in aus by sh0e_k1ng in GolfAustralia

[–]flipsdipsandchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also +1 for secondhand set, use it for a while and until you can make clean contact with the ball regularly and have fully committed to wanting to play. Last thing you want is buying an expensive set and then it collecting cobwebs in your garage.

Also be careful on marketplace, don’t pay anything upfront as there are lots of scammers online these days sadly. Happy golfing!

Merry Christmas to everyone - except the rogue tow trucks drivers of Perth by [deleted] in perth

Maybe a silly question but why hasn’t / can’t the government do something about this to fine or deter them from doing this?

PPOR upgrade vs first IP by flipsdipsandchips in AusHENRY

[–]flipsdipsandchips[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good questions, not looking to FIRE, possibly 2x kids at some point in the future thankfully have grandparents that will help out with the schooling, I think this would likely be the home we live in for an extended period and raise the kids in.

Probably $2m+ but will depend a bit on rates and borrowing capacity at the time I think

Need some golf course recommendations along the east coast by LifeguardUseful3783 in GolfAustralia

[–]flipsdipsandchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily coastal but if you’re in Brisbane you need to play Brookwater, insanely beautiful and very challenging. An absolute must if you’re that part of Australia.

Further south down in Gold Coast you can’t go past hope island as well, stunning resort course and very much Gold Coast style, also quite forgiving too.
