[Eag's]

Nice shooting once again Parmaster :smt023

[Minor_Threat]

Well done PM..

1 bogey around Strathfield is impressive!

Not many places will let you win Nett and Scratch :)

[zacdullard]

Well I guess you are over those putting yips.

Very well played:smt038

[3oneday]

[morgy]

Shot 63 net and got beaten beaten on a count back.... just my luck

I was saying something along the lines that 3od said in another topic. :roll:

[PeteyD]

maybe he is a girl.

[ParMaster]

Nope. :P

[3oneday]

No, but I'll take one ;)

[ParMaster]

Yay well i lost .2 from New Brighton. 2.2 ------> 2.0

Fingers crossed i lose .5 from today at Stathfield and get down to a new low of 1.5. :)

[Matt 3 Jab]

unlucky, but .3 is still good.

[PeteyD]

Doing some mighty fine golf there.

[3oneday]

Damn, so I stayed on 6 ! Bugger me :(

[henno]

Damn, so I stayed on 6 ! Bugger me :(

Chopper.

[ParMaster]

:( only lost .3

Well i'll just lose .3 this saturday at Ryde-Parra. :)

[Scottt]

Don't get concussed on all the crossovers. Maybe wear a cycling helmet just in case.

And watch out for the locals using a foot wedge!

[ParMaster]

There is only one crossover from memory but i really enjoy the course. I'll be sure to wear that helmet though!

[Eag's]

Played Caboolture Single Stab.
35 Points 2 Wipes (both par 3's)
Hit the ball ok today but a couple of wayward irons and terrible bunker play cost me dearly.

7 Greens
7 Fairways
30 Putts

[Yossarian]

I just shot 600 over for -700 points, good times.

You actually play(I use the term play in its loosest possible sense) golf?! I just thought you spent all your time on the internet!

[Scottt]

Worst golf in months last night.

29 points.
Two missed three-footers.
The only decent golf came after I lost my match 5&3 and proceeded to par the last three holes.

Stupid f**king game.

[Yossarian]

Typical how you always play good after the match is done and means nothing. ;)

[Scottt]

Two of the four toughest holes in that stretch, too. Ridiculous.

[simmsy]

Finally won a comp!!!
mind you with 39pts i didn't think I would get within coooeeeee of the leaders.
could of had much better score too with 2 lipouts and 2x 3 jacks on the back nine.

down to 16.8 - 1.8 to go to reach 2009 goal.

[ParMaster]

Well done. Be proud while it lasts. :)

Good thing you were not playing with me! Good stuff mate.

[Courty]

9 hole chook run with the big yellow feathered one at God's Country GC (Gordonvale) this afternoon. **** me, the wind was blowing hard today (although not as strong as at Sanctuary Lakes last month). I started extremely poorly and had 7 over in the first 5 holes, then parred the last 4 straight. I'm blaming the physio for making me do 50 squats last night :roll:.

[Courty]

Monthly Medal this morning at Cairns GC with Haysey & Tomson. The conditions were a little testing with strong winds and a few showers just to spice it up a little.

80 gross
72 nett

7 fairways
7 greens
32 putts

11 pars
6 bogies
1 double

[AndyP]

That's a pretty solid round, Courty, considering some of your recent rounds. Why didn't you comment on how you played?

[Courty]

Yeah, my ball-striking has certainly improved (no shanks today), but I still have a way to go. I felt as though I was swing really well at the start, but on reflection I think I was over-swinging a little through the 2nd 9. A few of the missed greens were only just off the putting surface, and I left a few putts out there, including the 1.5 metre birdie putt on the first :roll:

Didn't know you were having trouble with the shanks mate, want any tips to get rid of them :lol:

I'll comment for you Andy. Best I've seen him play for a while, in what were rather testing conditions.

Me, I was crap. I've decided I need to see a shrink:roll:

90 nett 81

1 birdie
6 pars
6 bogies
3 doubles
1 triple
1 quad

[simmsy]

Well done. Be proud while it lasts. :)

What you spending with the voucher?


thinking about a new bag.
Yossarian says i look like an old man with my "eagles&birdies" bag that i currently have.
I was actually using my old carry bag this week on my buggy and hadn't realized how heavy the e&b bag actually is!!

[JKA]

Mount Barker, SA - 1 Aug

75 gross
68 net

13 pars
5 bogeys

Strange day - embarrassed to say I only hit 1 green but got up and down better than I ever have. 23 putts helps.

[ParMaster]

Played at Ryde-Parramatta today in a vardon event. I'd describe my game as: Abhorridly abysmally terribly bad. :)

I had +12. No highlights to speak of whatsoever. Although i did start with 3 awesome par saves.

[ParMaster]

Nice round JKA. Whats the par at Mt Barker?

[drnick]

So, so round today. 4BBB aggregate stableford.

Generally doing rather bad fades with the R9, did not get me too deep into the shit tho. Had a 34 points myself but left ~5 easy enough putts out there.

[JKA]

Nice round JKA. Whats the par at Mt Barker?

70 mate

[henno]

28 points at Pacific with DC68 and Nutedit.

Started wash/wash, for a total of 6 wipes (I need to get these in check) and four 3-pointers, three of which were in succession, and one after finding the soup with my drive. (I actually even had a putt for a 4-pointer on this hole, just leaked right a little. Gotta love having two shots :-))

The 28 points doesn't really show it, but I hit the ball better than I have in the last few months. Turn those wipes into 1-pointers with the odd 2-pointer and I'd be doing alright.

DC was swinging it the best I've seen him. Had a look at a lot of birdies, but only walked away with two for the day.

[oz]

-1 in the Par Monthly Medal at Albury. Medal day should be stroke, IMO. Started poorly, and missed too many makeable chances, but played OK. actually started striking it a little more solidly today.

[BrisVegas]

25 points today off the golds. Just when I thought I'd turned the corner.... 5 hour round with a couple of old women and I just couldn't get into. Plenty of reasonable shots, but just two many complete shockers.

Will have a drastically reconfigured bag next week, so hopefully that will improve my outlook. Gave my 905S a fitting send off by belting one 280m up the 18th hole. First time I've ever hit it over the tree at the dogleg. I think I had both feet off the ground at impact! :lol:

henno 28 points is still good considering the 6 wipes mate.

Good on ya grunt!

[Matt 3 Jab]

88 scratch in the medal for a nett 82

38 putts - broomy was just not on! 7 putts in the first 2 holes :(

Pins were hard, course was soft, and greens were slick. tough but good day

8 fairways - driver on fire, long and straight

8 greens - ball striking was really good, smooth swing really worked, just didnt have the control

All up i wasnt that disappointed, good to be out in the warm sydney weather

[cobra23]

79 for nett 70 to win my first medal this year. It helped having my playing partner also playing well but didn't lose a shot. :smt013 Hopefully play well again tomorrow as I am right on the limit of losing a shot. btw this was at Armidale and the course is starting to play a little easier as the course dries out.

[mike]

Played Half Moon Bay today with a mate who's as mad keen about the Dragons as I am. Talked footy for four and a half hours. Our playing partners' ears must be bleeding.

81/69
Played good.

[ParMaster]

Congratulations Cobra.

[Coffs_Hacker]

81/71 for a win in Agrade monthly mug. Wasn't a pretty game 9 over front 9 came home 3 over back nine with bogeys on last 3 holes. Greens keeper is away ATM so the apprentice made the pin placements (holey crap) they were top of humps, sides of hills, 1m in from bunkers the works.

7fir
9gir
35 putts (yay 8 better than last effort)

[BrisVegas]

nicely played Craig.

[Jarro]

Nudgee North - 83/73 today.

Hit driver ok, but left a few putts out there.

[adlo]

Had a hit with Mayhem at Wembley (Old) yesterday.

47/39= 86 nett 72, 36 points (14/22).

Second hit after the holiday, game is still rusty. After the front 9 I was pretty disappointed, but came back well to shoot 39 off the stick on the back. It was the best 9 holes I have played in months. It is nice to find a bit of form, and remind myself why I enjoy this game.

Driver was on song, I am trying to remind myself why I have a spare driver and shaft sitting here. Irons were better as well. Under 100m my game needs some serious practice, feels awfully rusty.

10/14 Fairways
6 GIR

Working on a few things with the swing, seems to be paying off. Still swinging lazy, but picked up at least 10-15m off the tee.

[Yossarian]

Nice shooting mate, 39 is very nice.

Had a hit a pt walter and I am really starting to trust my iron swing now, hitting a couple of nice 4 irons off the tee.

[patch]

shot 81 off the stick challenge day off the plates to win weds comp $250 , i was the only player to shoot his handicap , most golfers shot in the 90s .

[Grunt]

Wonder how the Puppet went at Newcastle in the Blackmarker day today. Was pretty nice down here not tooo windy.

[ParMaster]

I'm going to post up a long review Grunt.

See in 30 mins.

BTW.....Not good. :)

[Minor_Threat]

Wonder how the Puppet went at Newcastle in the Blackmarker day today. Was pretty nice down here not tooo windy.
Black Marker day at Newcastle..

The par is reduced to 70 from 72.

I played well and shot 77 with a triple on the last (Lost ball and a 3 putt) :(

- 8 greens
- 8 fairways
- 30 putts
- 1 x 3 putt
- 1 double
- 1 triple

Highlight of the day was birdie on the 13th which is one of the par 5's reduced to a par 4. Driver, 2 Iron to about 15 foot, drained the putt.

I'm not sure what Puppet had, he said something like 87? But I'm not certain.. One thing is for sure, he had more reloads than WWII. He started well, but the course wore him down and he lost the plot..

Great day was had!

*Edit* Funny thing is I have been handicapped as a Stableford and my handicap has been reduced to +4 :shock: :shock: :shock:. Ill be getting that fixed ASAP!

[Grunt]

Nice birdie on 13 MT, that hole is purely anal on Black tee days

[henno]

*Edit* Funny thing is I have been handicapped as a Stableford and my handicap has been reduced to +4 :shock: :shock: :shock:. Ill be getting that fixed ASAP!

Hahahaha! Played to +40? That's some fine shooting!

http://imgur.com/bC4wa.png

[zacdullard]

Playing to +40. That has to some sort of record :mrgreen:

[ParMaster]

Well i played at Newcastle GC today as Grunt pointed out. I didn't play well but christ did i enjoy the course and the company.

I started off very well being Even after 6. Then it was all downhill from there.
.
.
.
.
.
:twisted:

1st - Very happy to take bogey.
2nd - Solid Par
3rd - Par
4th - Par (Nearly got birdie as putt lipped out)
5th - Birdie
6th - Par

And here we go...:oops:

7th - Triple
8th - Birdie 8-)
9th - Triple
10th - Triple
Then i took a ride on the bogey train going Bogey, Bogey, Bogey, Double Bogey, Double Bogey, Bogey. Parred 17 and 18.

I finished with an awesome score of +16, 86. Or 22 points..:lol:

The course is AWESOME. Layout is awesome and there are only 2 or 3 holes I didn't enjoy. The only criticism for me is on the 5th hole that no matter where you hit your drive it will still funnel back into the same area...So alot of the time your shot will finish in a divot.

On many of the holes there are hidden hazards. Also many bunkers are quite deep so they act as a true hazard.

Anyway here are some highlights:

2nd hole: MT played amazing bunker shot from the edge of bunker on the uphill slope. Nearly fell over in the process :lol:
6th hole: Pup had a ball plugged in the face of the bunker and had a god-damn fugly lie. I hit it as hard as i humanly could and the ball popped up way right and went to 30 feet. I then sunk the curly putt and it just fell in the end. :D
7th hole LOWLIGHT: I ended up taking a 6 after hitting long left. BIG NONO. My brother ended up taking a 9 after hitting it left aswell. :razz: Par 3 btw. :lol:
12th: MT plays a stellar 5i to 5 feet. Sinks the curly putt aswell for a nice birdie, :smt038
13th: I hit an awesome bunker shot from 60y with a 9i to 12 feet. MT hit a decent drive, awe inspiring 2i (?) to 15 feet. Sunk the putt for a super duper birdie. (Eagle on a non black tee day)
17th: I sunk a curly 15 foot putt. Dropped in on it's last roll aswell. Sexy lookin :o Also MT copied me and sunk hit 12 foot curler.
18th: MT 3 putted from 10 feet. :lol:

I really enjoyed today and will certainly be back for another game at Newcastle. Very enjoyable course as long as you don't ****ing lose 4 ****ing golf balls as i did today. ;)

Results: PM - 86 My brother - 98 MT - 77 Chris - 83

Thanks for your company MT.

[zacdullard]

Why did you NCR?

[jimandr]

I've been playing so badly that I took three weeks off, with an hour or so on the practice fairway once per weekend. I felt ready to play again, so I got back on the horse today.

An historic round for two reasons. It was my first round off double figures for about 14 years. It was also my best round for 4 years, 5 over for 41 points.

I didn't play really well, but I stayed out of trouble, didn't hit any shanks, putted OK and got up and down quite a few times. The game is so much easier when you get down in two from within 10 yards of the green instead of 4 or even 5.

I'm even prepared to do stats again.

Fairways = 10 of 14
Greens in reg = 8 of 18
Putts = 31, one birdie, one 3-putt
Up and down = 5 of 8
Sand Saves = 0 of 2

[ParMaster]

WTF. Why does it say we played it as a par 72? CCR 71?

Nice round of 40 under MT. Didn't know you played that well though. ;)

[Minor_Threat]

13th: I hit an awesome bunker shot from 60y with a 9i to 12 feet. MT hit a decent drive, awe inspiring 4i (?) to 10 feet. Sunk the putt for a super duper birdie. (Eagle on a non black tee day)

Results: PM - 86 My brother - 98 MT - 77 Chris - 87 (I think)

Thanks for your company MT.No worries mate, ill let you get over this experience before you come back! Glad you enjoyed the place..

I hit 2I 2nd shot from 194m and Chris shot 83. ;)

[ParMaster]

Zac we didn't return the card as i was going to get .2 back anyway. Had to get back to Sydney anyway.

[ParMaster]

Kudos to you Jim.

Slight improvement from your last round at Campbelltown. ;)

Where did you play today jim?

[Minor_Threat]

WTF. Why does it say we played it as a par 72? CCR 71?

Nice round of 40 under MT. Didn't know you played that well though. ;)I think the computer was set for a normal stableford. Im ringing the club tomorrow so they can fix my handicap and ask what happened..

[parlyboy]

Monthly medal. Shot 81 nett 62. Got called all sorts of names in the clubhouse.

[zacdullard]

Well played Burglar.

[Courty]

Nice round, parlyboy! That should drop a few shots. ;)

[Eag's]

Nice shooting Parlyboy :smt038

[parlyboy]

Cheers. Gone from 18.5 to 15.5. Thanks Mr Handicap man.

I had 2 birdies front nine with 2 doubles. 38.
Stumbled my way around on the back. 43

[zacdullard]

Is this a new personal best handicap?

[parlyboy]

Nope...not by a long shot. Just took it back up after 15 year lay off. Its my home away from home.

[zacdullard]

Ok, keep shooting scores like that and you will be down in no time.

[parlyboy]

Its amazing what a lesson or 2 will do for your game. Changed a few minor things and well, last two rounds 42points and 62 nett proves lessons are worth it! At least im enjoying it a bit more now.

Not a member anywhere and no handicap... I'm too embarrassed to join and play comp until I get better. I've given myself a new nickname: Chef. Why? Because I slice all day long!!!!

And getting a handicap would just be torture... I'd have to keep re-doing holes because I keep losing the ball all the time!!!!

More time at the range for me I think... That was just embarrassing.

[ParMaster]

Good for you. ;)

[mike]

Holy cow, parmaster that's an impressive golflink.

Not just the quality of the scoring but the variety of courses where it's all happening.
