[KristianJ]

Yesterday: Windsor Golf Club - social round with my dad and brother

Shot 86 - was really happy with my long irons (which got a fair bit of use due to their shorter dogleg par 4s from holes 4 to 6 and a couple of longer par 3s). Made a good sand save on the 9th after my second found a front left green side bunker. My highlight (a 6 iron on the par 3 11th to a bit over 2m) was quickly followed by an ugly 4 putt. Nice course that I'll certainly play again in the future when the time allows.

Today: Grose River Golf Course - practice round where I more or less kept the scorecard in my pocket.

The weather here in western Sydney was atrociously wet this morning and it was tough to get a rhythm and consistency going. Got a bit of practice using my 6 and 7 iron to do some green side chipping and was happy with the results most of the time. Other than that, the putting was on the poor side and I felt that the weather was causing me to rush things, and thus caused me to play like rubbish.

Tomorrow I'll probably head to Dunheved for a hit, and not rush things.

[PeteyD]

Virginia today. 92/74. Started with a birdie and then 2 doubles :(. 4 Fairways, 2 greens, 33 putts. Still had a chance or breaking the handicrap until a double at 16. But on the bright side they had a big sale at the pro shop and I finally got a Burner 3 wood I have been looking for.

That 3rd green can be a total bastard, along with 5 if you are on the top and the flag on the bottom.

The pin on the 10th gave me the biggest laugh.

[PeteyD]

Oh yea, missed from 4' above and rolled all the way to the front.

[Coffs_Hacker]

third rnd in a row today for 33pts (15/18) wiped the last hole again too for third time in a row LOL.

35putts

[BrisVegas]

35 points today (82 gross) in a single stab at Brookwater. Very similar to my round on Sunday where I played great for 12 holes then fell in a heap. I turned with 20 points (best ever) and was square through 12, then hit shanks or flubs on 13,14,15,16 for 4 points on those holes. Parred 17 & 18 to finish with 15 points for the back.

Can't complain I guess, 35 points around here is pretty decent.

11 FIR

[Eag's]

Driver was off today, as you can see from the FIR (and only one of those was with driver anyway). As per usual, I can't seem to string a whole round together.

31 points at Nudgee today.

:DWon on a count back.

[henno]

Count back for 43 points. Tough crowd.

[razaar]

Nice round mate - you obviously play well with distressed women.:)
What about the lady cyclist standing on the road behind the 12th green going on about a red bellied black snake near the fence; and her slower mate ridind along talking into her cell phone (shouting into her phone) and falling off her bike when her mate yelled out about the snake. The snake would have been long underground to get away from their noise. Poor ol Just trying to play his chip on their side of the green had no chance.:lol:

[henno]

Don't suppose you saw Ned Kelly out there Tex?

He'd be the loud obnoxious prick in a cart, keeping the bar dry of Johnny Walker and putting with a wedge. :-)

[ParMaster]

Well done Ferrins. How much did you win and did you spend it on anything?

[Tex]

[Ferrins]

Well done on the birdie:smt038

Thanks guys for the congratulatory remarks for the nudgee win. Funny thing about that round is that I've been working on pitch shots alot and I was 0/7 on up and downs from a pitch shot.

[razaar]

Actually I'm looking for one of those then I'll be 15 metres past your R9 (sorry Hux's with the u'beaut shaft) instead of 5.:mrgreen:

[Lucasto23]

3 doubles and a triple ruined a pretty good golfing day.

Good to meet tex and ferrins

[shazza_rs]

Nudgee North - 14th August
---------------------------
33 points (again). Played pretty good golf for most of the holes, errant tee shot on 16 cost me. Oh and i managed to putt off the green on 9 and failed to get back up with my wedge. D'oh!

[Courty]

17 pts in the chook run with Haysey this afternoon. Included a wipe and two 1s. Oh, and 2 birdie's. 8)

[KristianJ]

Played 18 at Glenmore Heritage – started off with a couple of ordinary double bogeys, then settled down a bit after a par on the par 3 3rd. Highlight came at the 5th (359m par 4 with a bit of a dogleg left)...hit a perfect tee shot with my 19deg hybrid, then hit an 8 iron from about 140 to 6cm from the pin…birdie tap in.


6/14 fairways (3 or 4 of the misses were only a metre or 2 off the edge of the fairway), 10 GIR, didn’t count the putts, but there were a couple of lip outs and some 3 putts that cost me from breaking 80. However in the final few holes I felt that I was getting the best out of the Itsy Bitsy and that my misses weren’t as ugly as they have been. Most of my tee shots on the par 4s and one of the par 5s were with the hybrid, and I was happy with my consistency with it.


Front 9 42, back 9 39, final score of 81 (par 72).

[Courty]

I went up the hill this morning for an early round with Mike, Haysey & another mate in a stroke round.

I started solidly with a bunch of pars, but then the old swing woes returned. I struggled to hit a fairway or green for the rest of the round, and even hit 2 OOBs on the 9th. :oops:

88 gross
80 nett

6 fairways
5 greens
34 putts

9 pars
5 bogies
3 doubles
1 other (+5 with 2 x OOBs) :roll:

[haysey]

Bring on the USGA handicap. Sooner I get out to 20 the better:cry:

[Hux]

I'd be loud too if somebody else was using my driver.:mrgreen:

Took me 9 holes to get used to his POS...then it was okay but thankfully my baby is home now.

Anyway Oxley Thursday 13/8/09 S/STB 36 pts.

Yes I was in a buggy - strained a hip muscle lifting something heavy - I was quiet too.

15 pts front nine...struggled badly with an unfamiliar driver shaft combo. Missed every fairway on the 1st nine.

21 pts on the back with 2 doubles and 2 single bogeys no birdies.

[PeteyD]

Yes I was in a buggy - strained a hip muscle lifting something heavy

Getting out of bed? :D

[Hux]

Getting out of bed? :D

She'd kill me if I said :shock:

[adlo]

Wembley (Old) this morning. Tough conditions, on the plus side the hail and thunder storms seemed to miss Wembley.

Played well. The conditions on Wednesday at Kennedy Bay were perfect preparation. The Mizuno driver is settling in and I think it is exactly what the doctor ordered.

83/69 for 39 points.
7 FW
7 GIR
32 putts

2 week comp, so I will be out in the leaders group next week 4 points behind the first round leader.

Please........................:roll:

Obviously my POS wasn't that on the second nine, cause your LOFT ensured it wasn't you that made the difference.

I see you carry the pull cart as a smoke screen for people to assume you are energetic and fit, if only they knew its been in the Ute Tray that long that it has its own fade mark on the tray liner!!!!!!!:razz:

[Ferrins]

Dingo at Gailes 109/102
My goal is to shoot less than double my handicap but at the moment I'm 0 for 4 on that. Good to meet Tex and the South African burgular Lucasto23.
Don't think I was the best of company and it didn't help when the boy's ragged my Dad who made a special trip to watch us Tee off on the 16th.

Got to tame this beast one day but today I got mauled.

[Ned]

She'd kill me if I said :shock:

She would kill you if she knew what I knew!!!!!!!:twisted:


and then she would most probably kill me for being accessory before during and after the fact!!!!:oops:

[Ned]

Best you read up on the conditions of excess shots Haysey, you wont get to 20 that quick!!!!!!!!!:smt108

[jimandr]

I had a highly acceptable 36 points in the Camden Valley saturday comp today. If I could've holed a few 10 footers it would have been a very good score, but considering the slump I was in, I'm fairly happy.

Fairways = 7 of 14
Greens in reg = 8 of 18
Putts = 35, zero birdies, 1 3putt
Up & Down = 2 of 6
Sand Saves = 0 of 2

[BrisVegas]

no golf today, but I had a lesson and a minor breakthrough. I think I've found a way to make a proper turn. Yes, it's taken 18 years to figure that out. The results were very good. I can now hit my irons proper distances. :shock:

Do tell......


And nice shooting jimandr

[Courty]

Do tell.....

Yes please!

[BrisVegas]

nothing radical, just that Leadbetter drill which Faldo used to do where he pre-set the wristcock very early in the swing and just focussed on turning the shoulders. I've had it totally bass-ackwards my whole life. anyhoo, no biggie. I was a bit excited by the results on the range. Hopefully I can carry that onto the course in the next week or two.

[Courty]

Nice work, good luck with it.

[Johnny Canuck]

Insane winds today. Round started with cowering under a bush beside the first tee as hail rained from the heavens.

Shot 15 on the front, 15 on the back for 30. Was equal second (leader 31) when I left.

4 to 5 club breezes on some holes made it a real adventure.

Playing partner, who plays off 10, had 3 points on the front 9! Good thing we had a skins game going.

Some whinged, I found it awesome fun.

[zacdullard]

First game back today after an ankle has kept me out for the last 5 weeks. I may have come back to soon as I am hurting now.

Anyway I had 39 points which I am happy about but left a heap out there.

4/13 Fairways
4 GIR
30 Putts which included two 3 putts and a 4 putt.
4/14 Up & Downs

I am happy with the round but it still included 2 wipes and 2 one pointers.

Also I just checked my golflink to find that 39 points isn't good enough to lose anything off my handicap.

[ParMaster]

I had an action-packed game of golf today. I played horrible mainly because I was in alot of pain (:roll:) and I couldn't get the release and the club back to sqaure. Anyway I shot 83...

One of the guys in our group was off +2 and he had a shocker. He had around about the 90's but he was a helluva lotta fun to play with. :razz:

Anyway this is the 5th consecutive game where i've played like shit. So I'm liking my odds for tommorrows game at Pennant Hills. :razz:

[3oneday]

Yep, sounds like a low 80's on the cards.

[ParMaster]

Good on ya Zac!

[mike]

Played Mareeba today with the count, big bird and anton. Played crap. Big deal.

Playing down 18 I pushed my drive to the right towards the tree line. Found my ball in the trees, hit it again (not very far) , went to play my third shot when ... hang on a minute ... that isn't my ball.
It is a ball I use regularly (srixon zurc) with my markings (a blue dot either side of the logo) but I'm using a bridgey e6 today.

fmd

My 'real' ball was another 10 metres to the right of where my 'wrong' ball sat.

The funny thing is it was definitely my ball once apon a time ( I know my dots ) and I don't remember the last time I lost a ball at Mareeba.

Bizarre.

[PeteyD]

Haha!

[mike]

wasn't funny

[mike]

Turned a nett 73 into a 75.

I'm devastated.

[Tex]

Dingo at Gailes...it didn't help when the boy's ragged my Dad who made a special trip to watch us Tee off on the 16th.

He got off lightly... how did his appointment with the Psych go, hope they let him out. AND
.... you were the one collecting balls to drive through his windscreen :lol:

[TheNuclearOne]

Golfer of the Year today and fired well to get 3rd in the A grade and get my cap straight back to 10.

39 points

14 pars (probably most ever)
2 boges
2 wipes (both ob shots)
22 putts in 16 holes (admittedly took the putter on 5 occasions from close to green)

Played front 9 second and went 2 over par including a lipped 5 footer for bird on 7. 7 pars on both 9's with two wipes on back and two boges on front. Apart from two bad drives i carved it up by my ordinary standards.

[ParMaster]

Nice game TNO.

[kev]

Currently sitting in the car at Flinders. 40+ km winds with gusts over 70!

It's going to be a messy day. Oh and to add to it, the rain has just started.

We have to be mad!!

[kev]

Well done TNO!

[razaar]

First round of the club champs at my new course yesterday. Our top junior 15 y.o. Cameron Smith shot a mediocre 65 (but then he is among the best juniors in the country). My day was as usual, had trouble holing out and a few lose drives that cost me. Finished with a 78, in 5th place.

Yes oh knowledgeable one, nice write up on playing down your chances!!!

As you have already planned, its a 4 round event, so you are presently sitting 5th.

Have fun got the other 3, I expect you will be setting up for a chance at the Seniors!!!

[Scottt]

GIR = 10
Fairways = 6

Found a little form and hoping i can continue it next Sunday for the Scramble :D

[PeteyD]

33 Pts at reddy today. 7 Fairways and 6 greens (Best ever for me). 4 Pars. Totally butchered 9 and 18 is an otherwise solid day. 36 Putts but a couple of GIR 3 putts from a mile away. If I can only get rid of the snap hook that comes every now and then I will be very happy.

[ParMaster]

I played today in the Pennant Hills Cup at Pennant Hills GC (obviously):mrgreen:. I played very erratic golf and I shot 75, 78 for 153 total. While I didn't play great golf I hit some fkn amazing shots.

My playing partners for the day were DEAD. No personality, Didn't talk, Swore and threw clubs...:x They were just horrible, horrible people.

Anyway these were the highlights:

1st round (Started off 1st)

1st hole: Nice drive 215m out from green. Hybrid to 10 feet and lipped out eagle putt.
4th hole: Hit 3i over the green. (Back right pin) Chipped a PW to 15 feet short. Putting over a ridge and downhill, sunk putt.
8th hole: Chipped 7i from 110m to 20 feet.
16th: Hybrid down right side of FW. PW to 4 feet. Sunk putt for birdie.
17th: Nice Driver, SW to 2 inches.
18th: Speared 4i, 64 degree wedge chip to 6 feet, sunk putt.

2nd round (Started off 10th)

10th: Overdrawn drive into left trees. Huge hooked 7i from 175m to 20 feet. That was a career shot!! :D
15th: Hooked drive into left trees. :razz: 6i chip under branches near bunker. Sunk 25 footer from off of green.
16th: Hybrid into right trees. Low spinning sand wedge between 2 trees to 35 feet right. Lipped out the putt.
18th: 4i into heart of green. Solid 2 putt to front left pin from 25 feet.
1st: Hooked drive down the middle of 17th fw. Low hooked 4i between trees to 5 metres short of green. Also an amazing shot!
3rd: Long drive 270 down right side. 4i just on green, 2 putt birdie.
8th: 3i left of green. 25y chip shot severely downhill that stopped hanging over the edge. It refused to go in the fkr. ;)

Lincoln Tighe won the day with 69, 65. He drove the 16th with a hybrid and hit into the front left bunker on 15.:o

The course was in good condition but some of the "fairways" were pretty horrid. (If you can call them that) :twisted: Understandibly so because of the rain.

I came about 20th/60.

Hope ya guys enjoyed my post. ;)

Do you write all this down as you go along or can you remember it?

I have enough trouble remembering what happened on 18 holes at my home course let alone 36 and a different one.

[ParMaster]

It was an eventful day. :razz:

But my playing partners! SHEESH No matter how good a shot you hit they wouldn't say anything.

The most consecutive words one of the guys said today was 7. :lol:

[ParMaster]

My dad writes down comments on a spare scorecard for me to reflect on Zac, but all this is from memory.

[Courty]

PM were they older than you? Old guys hate seeing young guys play good.

[ParMaster]

Not really mike. It was a vardon event so they wouldn't get annoyed because of that.

They just would not say anything, smile, talk, blink, eat or do anything at all. Just walk around and hit the ball. Repeat 150 times.

[Scottt]

I played today in the Pennant Hills Cup... While I didn't play great golf I hit some fkn amazing shots.... Huge hooked 7i from 175m to 20 feet. That was a career shot!! :D... Also an amazing shot!

You know what I like most about you PalmMaster? Your modesty! :lol:

[ParMaster]

Thanks scott! I played so well today. I'm the best!!

;)

[Pieface]

Well I managed to shave a couple of strokes from last weeks effort and shoot my best score for 9 yet with a 47. Started shakey with two doubles but got into a rhythm and shot 4 singles and two pars over the next 6 to be on track for a bogey average round.

Hit a reasonable tee shot on the last that left me with two options a little pitch shot out to the fairway on the left to give myself a 7-8i into the green or a 4m gap between a fairway tree and the right rough to attack the green with 5i. Had a rush of blood and went the 5i and got a prompt reminder that I'm not that good. A nice fat bit of the tree in the fairway deflecting down into the trees in the right rough. Chipped out, pitching wedge to the RHS of green, left the pitch and roll way short and the subsequent 15' putt 3" short to two putt to take a triple :cry:

Still I'm very happy with my progress and the last hole calamity was a timely lesson to stick to the plan and leave the hero shots to Parmaster ;)

Hit a reasonable tee shot on the last that left me with two options a little pitch shot out to the fairway on the left to give myself a 7-8i into the green or a 4m gap between a fairway tree and the right rough to attack the green with 5i.

Nice work Pieface with that sweet nine.

As for leaving those hero shots... live dangerously I say 8) chipping out is so boring (albeit sensible :roll:)

[ParMaster]

Hehe

You gotta go for those shots though. Because those "career" shots are what keeps bringing you back for more torture :mrgreen:. That 1 good shot can erase the other 80 bad ones you do in a round. ;)

Shot a cheeky six over at collier in a social round, if I had a short game I'd be dangerous.

Lincoln Tighe won the day with 69, 65. He drove the 16th with a hybrid and hit into the front left bunker on 15.:o

The course was in good condition but some of the "fairways" were pretty horrid. (If you can call them that) :twisted: Understandibly so because of the rain.

I came about 20th/60.

Hope ya guys enjoyed my post. ;)
Did anyone knock off my 64? That was the course record in 1998 when I shot that..

Finishing Uni was the best thing for your ball striking.

Fixing your short game is easy. You just need to learn a few easy to execute shots. You stuff up easy shots!

Yeah my irons were hot today, actually hit a 160m 5 iron onto a par 3 and made par :mrgreen: I'm not sure I'm doing that edwin thing right but I am compressing the ball really well.

But a couple of my wedge shots... :oops: :oops:

[adlo]

Well it is all about impact and you are doing something right in your swing atm (apart from the wedges!)

[Yossarian]

And the odd ghey fade.

Awesome MT. I'm not sure.

64 still the record Dotty?

[ParMaster]

Oh and nice round Yoss. Keep it up.

[mike]

MT do you have a copy of the scorecard? The course record at my course is 64 and the original card is on the noticeboard.

You're hopeful. Most scores lower than Gresham's and Nagle's shared record from the 1960's have a tendency to be 'misplaced'.

I'll check with one of the historians, when I see them. I tend to recall that Won Jon Lee shot a course record in the PH Cup three years back. (But it may have been a new record, after 3rd and 5th were re-contoured, due to PHR widening and the M2.) He may have shot a 62.

ps. Gresham's and Nagle's cards adorn the main bar, painted like the championship boards. (Hence my joke about misplacing the lower scores.)

We didn't play from the very back plates so you could say it wasn't a "real" course record. In hindsight I should have kept the card, but I had other things on my mind that day.. (I had a meeting with the trainee board as they wanted to suspend me and a couple of others for heading to the pub instead of sitting in some more lectures after a week of "intensive school" over at Narrabeen..)

Yes Dotty I do recall Gresham and Nagles scores in the clubhouse, but I believe the course had changed considerably since then?

Could be worse MT, the record at my club was posted by a woman playing off the reds who was a pro from Korea :roll:
