Woohoo! Been ages since I started one of these. (grunt must be off his game)

No proper golf for me this week, but while playing a sneaky 9 holes this morning, I holed my second shot on the 11th for an eagle. Haven't holed a full shot for ages. Not in comp, nobody else saw it, so it doesn't really count, but was a nice shot nonetheless. 8 iron from 125m. Hopefully I jag a few more of those in the champs this weekend!

Not off my game just busy at home with Tayla due to School holidays, next game will more than likely be the 16th October with Jim in the NSW matchplay final.

So stableford today after losing 5 shots on the weekend - apprehensive going into it, and my driving showed. Hit only 7/14 fwys driving like I was a month ago.... but yet, hauled in 39 points. 32 putts was good, tee to green was dreadful 2/18 GIR, only 1 3 putt. Was leading the comp when I left, 3 duffed chips and about 5 putts that needed an extra roll or slid 6 inches past. Highlight was a 5 iron out of left rough 160m out pin high 20 ft from hole.

Has anyone ever played so bad (according to them), yet broken their handicap every time they play?

no. It looked on line when I hit it, but it was straight at the rising sun (5:40am). When I got to the green and couldn't see it I figured I'd hit it over the back into the lake. There were no pitch marks between the flag and the water, so that didn't make sense, so I figured I'd check the hole just to be sure.

Yeah almost 10 shots off the handicap in a month!!!! Playing poorly.

I would hope not I have charisma plus :razz: To give some perspective as to Sean's comments above, regardless of my handicap I measure myself on FH, GIR, putts, U/D, SS and a category of my own D/S (Duffed Shots) where I hit and it tops or shanks or whatever.... (looking forward to the day I have no D/S) - 6 today.

Monthly medal yesterday and I thought that it was going to be my day.
41 on the front nine - 4 over and that was with a double bogey.
Tried not to get ahead of myself on the back and was going well until the 16th. In the greenside bunker for 2 ( par4) - walked away with a 9:shock: Won't go into the gory details but it wasn't pretty.
Finished 87 nett 70. Bugger:smt093

Still - happy with how I played. Made 5 up and downs for the game which was very pleasing.
Monthly medal was won by of our of ladies off 45 who has been off 45 for nearly 3 years. She had a nett 66 and finally broke her handicap. I've never seen anyone more happy - it's all relative to our capabilites.:smt038

Playing at Royal Melbourne tomoroow. Hope I can play well.;)

Scottt - i started to putt well after the 7th hole, i had 14 putts through 6 holes, and a few were missed 1 footers, but i started to drain some by the end, but a 3 putt on the last killed me, had i sunk it i was looking at 38 points

Never realised they put them in the Canberra Times, not suprising considering I haven't bought a newspaper for about 3 years! You playing on the weekend?

Played in the chook raffle this arvo. 19 points so not too bad (only a 9 hole comp). 2 doubles and 2 pars and a bunch of bogies. Put the Sumo back in the bag, hitting fairways is much nicer. Stupid FT-5.

Monthly medal at Cairns today.

Should have stayed in bed, 94/84 and just crap in every facet of the game.

I'll be interested to see what Courty thought of the greens.

First round of club champs. 89 gross for 81 nett. I don't know what happened out there today, but I managed to post the worst possible score I could have based on how I hit it. The longer clubs were great, but hit some horrible short iron shots... Parred the first 4 and the last 4... 17 over par for the middle 10!

I haven't shot myself out of it. I'm inside the top 8 in A grade still! (top 8 go through to the matchplay).

13/14 fairways.
8 GIR
32 putts
9 x pars
5 x bogeys
2 x doubles
2 x triple bogeys

Monthly medal today - lots of rain. Nett 72 - high(low)light being 20m short of a par 4 off the tee and walking off with a 6 - was fun anyway :)

1st round of Nudgee Club Champs today.

Course was in good nick and the greens were very quick :shock: Pretty windy out there today too which made it very 'interesting' ;)

I had 83 off the stick off an 11 handicap for a Nett 72 (1 over par)

4 FWYS
5 G.I.R
33 putts

Not very good stats, but i missed about 4 putts from 1 meter .... and double-bogeyed the last (again) so all in all i'm not that upset with how i played.

I hope the wind dies down for tomorrows round [-o<

34 points at Cape Schank. Just a great day to be out on a great course.

5 x 3putt bogies. :( But otherwise a satisfying round.
I think every green at Cape Schank has at least 3 tiers and I hit a good number of GIRs for me but ended up on the wrong tier too often with a lot of work to do with the putter.

I'm looking forward to trying Healsville when it re-opens as the RACV have done a magnificent job at Cape Schank.

98/77 in medal at reddy yesterday. Played solidly until 3 triples in the last 5 holes.

Played in the medal at Albury yesterday. Ballstriking was solid, but my wedge play and putting were terrible. 39 putts. Bogeyed 3 of the 4 par 5s and double bogyed the last in frustration. Nett 75 for my trouble.

BrisVegas
5th October 2008, 02:12 PM
another crap round today. found trouble that I never knew existed, including playing the 9th hole via the clubhouse for a nice quad...

88 gross for 80 nett. CCR either 75 or 76, not sure yet. Parred the first 3 and last 3 again, which is becoming an odd ritual in my shit rounds.

EDIT. CCR was 77 today!

12/14 fairways
6 GIR
30 putts
1 x quad
3 x doubles
6 bogeys
8 pars

Nudgee Club Champs round 2 today.

85 off the stick for a nett 74.

4 FWYS :oops:
2 G.I.R. :oops:
28 putts. 8-)

Short game was atrocious ..... i simply couldn't chip well to save my life :(

Hit driver and irons OK ..... in a fair wind here today so i wasn't that unhappy with the lack of G.I.R's as usually i can get up and down most of the time.

Played a round at the new Sunshine Course (Mt Derrimut) and was quite impressed, much better than the old Sunshine.

Anyway shot 73 (+1) was quite windy at times.
• 4 birdies
• 3 bogies
• 1 double (4 putts) haha

Highlight was a 320m drive on the 5th hole (338m), I hit a beautiful draw with a tail wind and the contours of the fairway helped it on its way.. The game is coming together slowly, shortgame has massive potential for improvement.

Just need to sort out my knee injury and ill be dangerous! hahaha

Nudgee Champs

Round 1
101 nett 77
7 Fairways

Round 2
98 nett 74
7 Fairways

I don't count putts or the other stuff yet. Average rounds for me lately, I've had better. Short game is letting me down. Happy to be relatively consistent and improving, especially off the tips and in the wind.

Played both days this weekend

80 (+12) at Oatlands in Saturday, hit 10/12 fairways but only 5 greens, and had 32 putts
81 (+9) at Horizons on Sunday with a disappearing ball double on the last! Only 6 greens, but 10/14 fairways and only 30 putts, and didn't miss a putt inside six feet.

My iron play is just horrendous at the moment, but I am smashing it off the tee and putting like a champion, so I guess you can't always have it all.
