  1. Finally...

    After several instances of seeing Sydney Ozgolf meetups where my lack of handicapping worked against me, I have finally got my butt into gear and signed up somewhere. Filled out the forms today (well, one I have to fill out tomorrow) to join up at Glenmore Heritage Valley.

    Time will tell if I'll regret signing up at Lynwood, but I do like Glenmore a lot. The 2 long par 5s on the front 9, the nice little par 3 to close off the front 9 with a near full water carry, the undulating fairways...I ...

  2. Comp Blog - 26 June, 2010

    Date: 26 June, 2010
    Comp: Par
    Conditions: Damp
    Score: -4pts (76)
    ACR: 72

    Score does not reflect the way I struck the ball. Made a number of stupid mistakes. Two of which were making bogey from beside two par 5's for two. Putting was very ordinary, I managed to jag a couple but most putts were the wrong pace and line all day. Drove the ball awesome, I have been working on a choke down driver shot that goes much lower and about 15m shorter, but the accuracy ...

  3. Comp Blog - 19 June, 2010

    Date: 19 June, 2010
    Comp: Stableford
    Conditions: Breezy
    Score: 31pts (77)
    ACR: 72

    First game after about 8 weeks or due to various work, home duties, shit weather and being sick. I didn't know what to expect as I hadn't touched a club in all that time. It was great to be back out in amongst it though.

    The game was fairly solid, and the score was not reflective of the way I pllayed as I missed plenty of short putts < 5 feet.

  4. Third handicap card - thank God for the new handicap system

    Third and final handicap card today, and I put in a shocker. 106 off the stick. The only consolation is that thanks to the new handicap system, this round will just sit in my rolling 20 and mock me whilst having no effect on my handicap.

    I hit rock bottom today in a golfing sense. In the space of three bad rounds I've got to the point where I'm just spraying it everywhere, and not making consistent contact with the ball on full shots, something I usually don't have a problem with. ...

  5. Queensland golf trip, or how to enjoy yourself while sucking at golf

    Late last week I flew into Brisbane for an overnight golf trip with some mates from Uni. We're pretty far flung nowadays (one lives in London) and we are lucky to get the foursome together once a year, so it's a big deal for us and we try to make a big event of it - nice courses, grudge-match atmosphere and constant sledging over 2 rounds. It's the highlight of my golfing year.

    Our first round was at Brookwater, and I was very impressed. What a lovely course. That said, I pity the ...
