Played @ Liverpool this afternoon, should have stayed home.:smt087

Had a very weird round, hit more fairways than average. Iron ball striking was good. Problem was I was just offline in my approach shots. I was in way more bumkers than normal. Liverpool is not a good course to get in the bunkers on. The bunkers at Liverpool are crap, they are trying to improve tham so now you have 1/3 hard like concrete clay mud, 1/3 reasonable sand (upgraded a few years ago) and 1/3 soft fluffy (recently resanded). I lost all consistentsy and confidence out of the sand. I hit some too well and flew the green, the next time I would get it too deep and leave it in the sand.

Also played with an out an out cheat! :smt013 I would not sign his card so he got his mate to sign it. He thought he would get me back by not scoring my last 2 holes. He handed my card in with 19 points and signed it himself. Did not worry me, I was not going to get anything for the 22 I really had. He was shocking, he would hit the ball in a hazard and then play the ball 100m up the fairway and say it crossed there. I tried to let him know that you have to mark your ball for preferred lie before you pick it up and he told me I was wrong.

16/06/2008, Darwin GC (10-18), Solo 9.

Score 51 (Par 36)

Hackfest. Zero pars. No redeeming parts of my game. Only 2 shots (drives on 10 & 18) that I was happy with. Great way to play a course I haven't played....

Next round: Next weekend at maybe RAAF Tindal or Katherine Country or not play at all. Game shot.

98 Gross
4 fairways
2 GIR
34 putts (1x 3 putt, 3x 1 putts)

Played Beverley Park today with Chopper & 2 other mates from work in their Open day Comp.

Finallly had a decent round 40 points :smt038. Day started off great with a 35 foot putt from off the green, straight into the hole with the 2i hybrid. Driver was still wobbly but iron play was great. Putted well too.

Chopper played well too, to have 42 points. Well played Jamie.

Think you are right FG, but I don't care. The handicap will drop no matter where it is played.

Thanks too.

38 points today in a bit of breeze on a fairly damp golf course. My best round for six months. I'm not going to claim that I've cracked the game, but I actually enjoyed having enough confidence to think about WHERE I was going to hit the ball rather than IF I was going to hit it.

Fairways = 8 of 14
Greens in reg = 8 of 18
Putts = 32, zero 3putts, one birdie
Up&down = 3 of 6
Sand Saves = 0 of 1

-------------------
87/76
7/13 Fairways
7/18 GIR
36 Putts
2/7 U/D
1/5 Sand Saves

Pretty average round, played some good shots and some woeful ones. Played the back nine much better than the front. Left my driver in the bag for a few holes... he needed time to have a think about himself and what he was doing. When he made it back out low and behold he hit it down the middle. :)

I feel quite happy with the way I struck the ball today, but I just convert it on the scorecard. Making it even tougher was the conditions. It was blowing it's arse off today, and coupled with rock hard greens, it was near impossible to hold a green. I finished with 18 pts which was the best in my group (one guy off 6 had 15 pts :shock:)

21/06/08, RAAF Tindal GC, Single Stab.

10/14 effective tee-shots.
6/18 effective approaches.
3/8 up and down successes.
32 putts.
--------------
1 birdie.
7 pars.
8 bogeys.
2 others.

Score 41-40-81 stab 18-18-36pts (Par 35-35-70 ACR 69)

The driver was back to being consistent again and the irons were ordinary as usual, but not completely shocking like the other day. I'm really happy with how the putting went (noting that the greens were extremely bumpy), as I only had one 3-putt.

36pts was runner up by 1pt (out of a field of 11). Good enough for a hat and two balls. The round was encouraging anyway.

Next round: I might play the other 9 of Darwin GC before I fly out on Friday.

cool, any of the pennant players would know him, i last saw him in 2003, ever since I have been in a different division so we hadnt crossed paths.

I hope to be, I didnt play Open pennants this year, so this time I am eligible, and havent played Pennant at GCCC for about 5 years and have always played well there so looking forward to that.

Had a shocker,
Had the flu all week.
Tried to warm up on the range, lucky to get the ball off the ground, high as a kite on day night tablets.
First shot pull slice, leaving me 180meters out, shank a four iron into a tree straight back into the fairway. Dump a wedge into the sand, up and out, 1 putt and one stab point,Like that all day.
My playing partners were well entertained all day. Put three balls O.O.B. one in the water. 22 points eat your hart out with 6 wipes
Looks like I’ll be back up on 13 for next week.

I played in an Engineers Association corporate day this morning. It was a modified Ambrose in that nobody could hit consecutive shots on one hole. We still managed to make 3 birdies & 2 bogies for a 69 (-1) which was 58.875. Surprisingly that gave us the win by a quarter of a shot. That won us a $70 bottle of genuine champagne and our names on a perpetual trophy. :D

Played like a busted ass with a bunch of busted asses today. Pathetically slow round at reddy bay... 26 Points.

Amstel today with MCC. Cool conditions with drizzle, wind or rain coming in at 45° throughout the round.

Missed all but one fairway on the front 9 using the driver, so pulled out the 3 wood on the back and prayed. Fortunately Shazza's mojo seems to have worn off ;) and I hit every fairway with it :)

95 gross / 72 nett (Par is 73)
37 points
30 putts (6 x 1 putts, no 3 putts )
7 Fairways
0 GIR
0 Birdie
2 Pars
10 Bogies
6 Doubles
0 "others"
0 Wipes
0/2 Sand Saves

Ended up winning the day, so I'm sitting here perusing the interweb sipping on the red I won. Life is good (at least this week...)

Lost 4 and 3 in the 1/4 finals of an honour board foursomes event (handicapped).

My partner drove poorly and I missed a couple of short putts that costs us.

We gave up 4 shots to them, lost those 4 holes and that was history. One of them has been a member for 2 weeks, plays off 17 and didn't hit a bad shot all day...

Played Green Hills Golf & Country Club today with a bunch of mates in a skins event. Went pretty well and came to the last with 6 skins up my sleeve but with 3 on offer on the last hole and no shot for me I missed my up and down to take it to a putt off :)

First tiem I ahd ever seen this course and it was fairly sdecent for a little country type track (i't at Peats Ridge for those that don't know it), greens were great but the fairways were bare and a bit muddy in places, but give me good greens and dodgy fairways over dodgy greens and fairways.

84 off the stick
6 skins won in a 3 ball so no cash lost.

Stats not done yet.
