those who livr within membership distance

lined fairways where once neither grass
or trees existed. The 9 hole layup is set

ZEALAND SURF REPORTS
Apart
from tsunamis, the only thing that produces
waves is the wind blowing over the sea surface.
Waves arriving on a coast called windsea can
be generated by local wind. Groundswell can
be the result of a wind that blew over the surface
of the ocean thousands of kilometres away
