Week Commencing 28th July

[Grunt]

What's going on here? It is Friday and no one has played this week?

Played with Trung & G69 @ Bonnie Doon this morning/Afternoon. Boy it was windy!

Had a good round, was a great comeback to the 110 I had there a few weeks back.
Skins was the game and Trung took out the honours with 8 Skins, I had 7 1/2 & G69 struggled all day to get 2 1/2. The half was from both G69 & I parring the last.

Hit the ball good but short game was crappy. Putting was terrible but that may just being not used to the pace of the Bonnie Doon Greens and also some tough pins.

Trung & Rich thanks for a great fun day out.

Were they giving you shit the whole way around or are they soft****s when they are not behind a keyboard? ;)

[Grunt]

I was giving more than I copped I think.

[Courty]

Golfer69 is a hack. :lol:

[Julie]

Grunt, did you see Brett Ogle there.

Bugger JB that is no good :(

[jimandr]

In a strong breeze today, I was quite happy with my 34 points. I didn't hit the ball all that well, but the putts started dropping, so the score was OK.

Fairways = 8 of 14
Greens in reg = 6 of 18
Putts = 33, 2 threeputts, 1 birdie
Up&Down = 3 of 9
1 penalty shot

[shazza_rs]

Played nudgee today with the ladies...

Had 32 points

Not entirely unhappy with my score. Driver was very well behaved and my irons have gone to the dogs.... i was in soooooooo many greenside traps i think my ball was telling me he wanted a beachside holiday.

[jaybam]

Hey at least you got to play Shazza. How did the putter go?? And your driver is always well behaved.

Must be the week for it.

Missed the monthly medal today because I dislocated a finger playing basketball:roll:

[JustSneaky]

Drove like dog today.Six over the front, even par on the back, 37points:-k

[jaybam]

I feel your pain Hayesy. Nothing like geting great golf weather and not playing lol

Absolutely perfect weather for it to mate:mad:.

Teach me to box out a 7 footer:lol:

[adlo]

Drove the ball like I had never played golf before. Bloody windy day in Perth which just punished me all the more. Was hacking out of the bushes on 10 holes. Hit a total of 2 fairways :( When I pulled it together on a few holes I bloody 3 putted. So, my shots out of the crap were quite good today.

89 gross/73 nett
35 points
2 fairways
6 GIR
1/3 SS
3 U&D's
34 putts (2 3 putts)

Absolutely perfect weather for it to mate:mad:.

It was, too. ;) Not that I really took advantage of that fact. :roll: 90/82 but won the money on the last hole. :twisted:


Teach me to box out a 7 footer:lol:

Now THAT I can help you with. I played basketball for many years.

[Bruce]

Stroke at Neanger Park.

Total Golfing Failure.

A well constructed century with some strong pulls, pierced the field with some strong chips.

101 nett 83
42 putts!!!!!!!

After 3 weeks on the slow shaggy greens at Mirboo, Neanger was like ice rinks with glad wrap over the holes. Needless to say, I adjusted poorly. I think there was only 2 holes that didn't have a disaster of some kind in it.

Update: As bad as it was I might not slit my wrists just yet. I only finished about 2/3 of the way down the field.

Monthly Medal at Howlong yesterday. Toughest pins I have ever seen there, and I had a bad day out with the putter. Too many 3 putts early, and then a few silly shots given away late in the round while just mucking about (hitting driver on short tight holes, trying to reach the green). Finished with an 81 - nett 74. Pretty windy conditions means that was not so bad - T15th.

[Grunt]

Played @ Dunheved this afternoon with 3oneday, Pinglauncher & PinglauncherJNR. Was not a good golf day for me at all, swing was too fast all day and resultant ballstriking was pretty poor. Hit some shockers and hit some good shots, 5 wipes was never going to let me have a good score.

Some surprising results from my stats though.

Stats

[Scottt]

Jimandr and I played at Windsor.

Great day weather and company-wise.

Jim had 35 (with 3 wipes) and I had 34 (with six one-pointers).

Course was really enjoyable, just as I remembered it.

[jimandr]

As Scottt said, 35 points for me at Windsor today. I played better than that, and hit some really good iron approaches. 2 early doubles killed any chance of a really good score, but it was an encouraging day.

Fairways = 7 of 13
Greens in reg = 7 of 18
Putts = 30, zero 3putts, zero birdies
Up&Down = 3 of 6
Sand Saves = 2 of 2

[JustSneaky]

Grunt is Dunheved near St.Mary's? I was raised out there.

Scott,I was born in Windsor,lol rels lived in wilborforce.

[Grunt]

Yeah near St Mary's out the back behind an industrial complex.

[JustSneaky]

Wasn't a bad old track,25yrs back.

They're some good numbers.

For me 6/13 fairways, 6/18 greens, 33 putts (two three-putts).

I still can't believe that other bloke was a five marker...

[dc68]

I played the club foursomes with my brother yesterday and after 4 or 5 r/u finishes we finally one one..... Tough day (as 4somes usually is). We won it with a pair of 78s :oops:.

Oh well no one had better so I suppose it will do.

[JustSneaky]

Well done dc68! No shame in 78's that would get up in quite a few clubs.:smt038:smt038
What was your combined handicaps?

[AndyP]

I had a 9 hole pitch n putt at Corinda yesterday. I went crap and can't putt on those greens (+7).

I was happy to see that Mitchell was into it more than usual. In the past he would pull out the "I'm tired" line halfway around, but yesterday he hit off every tee and putted on every green (picked up in between several times).

[dc68]

Thanks...

I am off 4 and he is off 2 which gave us a 3 cap. Only 1 nett score better than our nett 150 and that was 149 by a couple of my mates one on 5 and the other on 14.

[JustSneaky]

Sounds like a tough weekend.The net winners bout 5 over handicap?

[dc68]

Yep that is correct.

[BrisVegas]

single stab from the plates at Pacific Harbour yesterday. Have been a bit crook lately and probably shouldn't have played. Everything was just a bit off. 5 wipes through missed tee shots left & right. Hit some nice iron shots on the par 3's, but putted poorly as well... All added up to 26 points (9 & 17).

Pac Harbour was in good nik as always. The bunkers were a lot fluffier than I remembered. Greens were fast and true.

[PeteyD]

Nice win Dave.

Dion - Sounds like Pac Harbour still likes to punish anything a little wayward!

[BrisVegas]

course was fine. i hit some shockers.

[chappy1970]

2 firsts for my round on Saturday in the Monthly Medal.

First game for 5 weeks (since #3 baby arrived) and first round with the RAC LT's that I picked up from Rick.

The Monthly Medal in the colder months is always a shot gun start and usually PAR to ensure that everyone gets through. Went out Square and came in 2 down for 2 DOWN overrall. I was really pleased with how I hit it considering my lay off and the new bats.

Also the CCR was 74 and par was 72 so no damage to the handicap.

Always a sign that you haven't had a hit for a while when the first 2 shots you hit on the 1st are cold tops, any way it picked up from there.

Chappy

[snuffythewonderpilot]

saturday morning comp first day of a new membership at a new course did not know anybody thought at least i could show the guys that i could at least have a good hole here and there (well that was the theory) 125 later the worst round of golf i have had for about ten years i hate my life at the moment and to make matters worse am going away this weekend so no golf to redeem myself just the driving range at this stage if i am lucky.

[AndyP]

Tough start, snuff. I hope you weren't trying to hit Driver on every hole around Nambour. You could survive around there hitting 3 woods off the tee.

Was that your first handicap card?

[snuffythewonderpilot]

yes mate first hadicap card, did bring the driver out probably more times than i should have live and learn though. yes i think your right about the 3 wood unless you can drive consistantly straight you will always be in trouble around nambour but my god my legs hurt that night from the walk if not any thing else i will certainly be fit after a couple of rounds.

[AndyP]

Yep, no course is too steep after playing Nambour. When I was playing Nambour regularly, my fitness in terms of walking golf courses was pretty high.

[snuffythewonderpilot]

well one can only assume that if you stay ON the fairway you wont have to walk as steep a climb than if you strayed into the rough (me on evey hole)

[PeteyD]

Nah it is all up and down the bloody hills there snuffy
