There are a few different markers, much like genetic markers that make any adventure a true V A V A adventure. First, I end up visiting some school or learning center, no matter where in the world we are. Next, Vamshi and Vehd play golf. Clearly these two markers are heavily driven by the adults in the VAVA group. The youngsters are growing up fast and will no doubt add in their own markers.
Soon after I spent a day at the Sustainability Learning Center, the Vs headed out to Barnabougle. A 4-hour drive from Hobart, Barnbougle is touted as the 11th best golf course in the world. As Vehd puts it -- "Barnabougle was really fun! Most golf courses are made using bulldozers that shape the land. At Barnbougle, the course was made by clearing trees, bushes and shrubs. Grass was planted and the course was made without shaping the earth. This makes it a tough course! There is a spot where you can go down to the beach. The beach is not accessible but it looks beautiful.
I even got to play the course. We played with another man. There was one particularly tough par-3 where everyone got 5s and 6s. My most favorite shot was right into the water. It was so fun! The course was long and I was quite tired at the end."
All in all a great memory for the veteran and budding golfer.
