The hitch hiker


Day 2 started well. We got away early and were able to reach the next hole, Fraser’s Range, whilst most were still having breakfast. The short par 3 was accompanied by magnificent scenery, which was only made sweeter once I made my first par of the course. After some very exuberant celebrating we were on the road again.



The day seemed to fly by almost as fast as the odometer kept turning and before we knew it we had another 5 holes down. Although I am sorry to report they were much less impressive than the first. Broken but not beaten we battled on to get 3 more holes in and reach the border before nightfall and the advancing storm.

Approximately 20km’s before the Mundrabilla road house we can across a very scruffy and lonely hitch hiker. It may have been the boredom of the road or his incredible eagerness for a lift but we decided to squeeze him in. Whilst quiet at first our new friend proved himself to be a very good travelling companion. Not only was he a super keen golfer but he was also willing to take the wheel for the final stretch. What a guy.....
