Moose thread

[Ferrins]

Had a ten lately, then tell us your tale of woe.

For me.

Carbrook Shark back tee event, today 10th hole.

Short dog leg right, which is a fairway metal tee shot and a 9 iron approach.
Well in theory anyway.

1/ 7 wood into the middle of the lake
2/ penalty
3/ Dropped and then hit 6 iron into the waste bunker before the green
4/ air mailed the flag into the back hazard next to the creek.
5/ advanced ball 2metres remaining in hazard.smashed my new wedge into a brick that was hidden in the tundra.
6/ swipe with no contact
7/ out and next to green
dropped 2 balls that I found in the hazard and smashed them into the river.
8/ bump and run
9/ putt
10/ putt

[Daves]

There is also an OOB area at the left right back of that green! lucky you missed it!;)

It has been a while since I had a moose, I will have to look back in my stats and see if can remember the pain!

Kennedy Bay Classic Stroke Round: Saturday Round.

13th Par 5. One of the easier holes on the course

1) Tee shot into shit right. Prov melted up the centre.
2) Aldo finds tee shot perched in a shrub. 7 iron perpendicular to line of play.
3) Found in a little divot type hole in the shit on the other side of fairway. Wedge into ball into bush.
4&5) Drop into same divot hole. Lost ball into bush.
6&7) See above
8) wedge out success! 200 m to go.
9) Big high gay cut. Lost.
10&11) Hybrid to front edge of green.
12) Gay chip to about 30 feet.
13) Really gay putt to about 15-20 feet.
14) Sink massive curler for a 14!

Sunday Round

18th Hole Par 4 One of the hardest holes on the course.

1) Good tee shot into the teeth of the wind. Approx 200m to go.
2) Decide to lay up into some bushes about 100m short and right of the green. Hit Prov exactly where I want it.
3&4) While having cursory look for surely lost ball playing partner finds ball. Forced to take drop. Hit solid seven iron approx 5m left of green into the shit. Prov lands pin high.
5) While having cursory look for surely lost ball helpful playing partner finds it in deep kack. Have no line to go back on, attempt to chip out. Airswing.
6) Make contact this time, and actually get it to move slightly forward.
7) Great success! Chip out but the contouring of the hole causes the ball to roll back from the green, along a cart path and into some more shrubbery completely blocked out.
8&9) Helpful course pro gives rules advice on taking a line back to driving range. Hit solid 50m wedge to approx 10 feet.
10) Putt just curls by.
11) Tap in par.

[mike]

Only ever had 1 score worse than 9.

I chipped in for an 11 on the 3rd @ Mareeba. Around 2002/3

1. OOB
3. Water hazard, took a drop.
5. OOB
7. OOB
9. Just cleared the water
10. Approach misses green
11. Chipped in.

[Ferrins]

In Tassie an 11 is a moose with a boner.

[Courty]

:lol:

Funny stuff, Yoss.

[kingslayer33]

In Tassie an 11 is a moose with a boner.

And now we can call a 14 a Yoss.

[Yossarian]

The 11 hurt more, both time I had other balls in such good spots, but this guy treated it like hide and go seek and just refused to give up!

[Courty]

[Yossarian]

That sounded a little dirty.

[PeteyD]

a 17 is a Jono!

[LarryLong]

Great thread. I haven't had one for a few rounds, but I'm sure I'll be a regular contributor to this one.

My wife has an uncle who is known to all and sundry at his club as 'Moose'. He regularly does the name justice.

[adlo]

is there a worse feeling in golf than sinking a bomb for a 14?

[Yossarian]

It didn't feel good. I can see the funny side now. At the time I was really struggling.

[adlo]

I thought it was pretty funny. Both then and now.

[Yossarian]

I laughed after the wedges into the bushes. The lost hybrid was just plain rude.

[adlo]

That area of #13 is a grave yard

[Yossarian]

Indeed!

[TourFit]

We can perhaps call a 14 an Albayoss...

[Johnny Canuck]

It was both funny and painful at the same time.

Didn't you 3 jack it and hit the bomb for the 3 jack?

[AndyP]

Why is a 10 called a moose?

[Dotty]

dropped 2 balls that I found in the hazard and smashed them into the river.

Wouldn't that make it 14? Two stroke penalty for hitting the wrong ball. Twice.


And a 10 is a moose, as it can be characterised by holding 10 fingers up at the side of the head, like moose antlers.

Hopefully, no Scottys were harmed in the making of this moose?!

[poidda]

Ask Billyman next time you see him about his Eagle-Moose at Rocky a few years back. After having eagle on 10 he had a great round going until he Moosed the 16th. (which isn't that hard to do)

He was awarded the first ever Eagle Moose trophy. :)

My uncle in-law explained it visually. Hold your hands with ten fingers splayed out and then put your thumbs on the sides of your head.

[Johnny Canuck]

That looks strangely like Yoss.

No, it's just some random I found on Google image search.

Why would take a photo of my wife's uncle doing the Moose sign?

Buggered if I know, but who knows why Victorians do half of the things they do.

[IanO]

7/ out and next to green
dropped 2 balls that I found in the hazard and smashed them into the river.


Isn't this an additional 4 stroke penalty for hitting 2 incorrect balls?:mrgreen:

EDIT: I should have read to the end of the posts before posting this

[Ferrins]

I believed I was adjacent to the range and was merely returning the balls.

[IanO]

My Moose:

Scenario: about to start 2nd round of club champs and I am equal 2nd
1st PAR 5
1. Big slice that stops 3' short of right hand bunker
2. Top 3 wood into bunker
4. Try to hit 4 iron, catch edge
5. 8 iron to middle of fairway (220m to go)
6. 3 wood up right side, hits a stick and jumps into a bush
7. 4 iron tap out from under tree
8. 60* wedge to 3'
9. Lip out to 2'
10. Easy in

Result 104 off stick and my first round over 100 in years!

Lots of hits but quick about it. Just as it should be.

We have a set of moose ears in the bar for offenders to wear. Always good for a giggle. I've never worn them - touch wood.

After seeing this thread yesterday, was very nervous over my 4ft putt for nine at Darwin today.

Happy to report no Moose carded.

Does it have to be a 10 or is any number in double figures good enough to be Bullwinkle?

Nah 10 or over qualifies. They're actually reindeer horns I think.

Played in monthly medal yesterday with a 3 marker who opened with a 12 on a par 4. Played the next 17 in 4 over.

If I'd only known this thread existed last Wednesday, I could have posted about the 10 I had on the 4th hole. But, because I didn't I guess I don't have to. (Phew!) ;)

Talk us through it Spud

[Rodent]

I had an two 11's in 1 round at Lynwood (9th and 18th). That day me and my mate won the 4BBB scratch!

[WBennett]

Talk us through it Spud Ok. Start with the 15th. Straight downwind in pouring rain. Hit PW 160 through the green. Yikes.16th. 500m Par 5 with lake left off the tee. Straight back into the wind and rain. Drove, ended up in thick trees right. Caught tree. Punched out, which hit casual water and stopped dead.Had 220 to flag, 160 carry if i went left. Smashed 3 wood, held up in wind, landed in the piss 2m short.Walk up and drop, 140 to go. Smash 4 iron. 2m short.Smash 4 iron 40m left of pin, just get there. Chipped and lipped out the putt for 9.Then the rain and wind stopped like a switch was flicked.(It came back 3 minutes later)

[3Puttpete]

Failed to carry the water after taking a drop for failing to carry the water. Quality moosing.

[WBennett]

I knew I needed nett 72 to win. After the first was wet it was all over and I lost the plot

[Hatchman]

Bump for same some one in shank thread.

Can GK check in with a Moose and a half?

[Hard_Pan]

Shot a moose on the 11th at Balaklava today. Sitting front and centre on a good lie after my second; hosel rocket right, into dense scrub with my third. I find my ball pin high but in a nest of twigs ~20m from green. Better contact than expected with my fourth sends my ball in a neat parabola over the green into patchy rough, 10m from green. I find my ball on a bare, wet clay lie. Fifth, sixth and seventh expended getting the ball onto the green. Three putt to finish! 🤕

[Hatchman]

Checking in here too. What a glorious day for a Bullwinkle in the Snowtown Open.

The 6th hole is the courses signature hole.
393m par 4. Hole bends it's way around the salty water hazard on the left with lots of mini salt bush and mud. The fairway is sloped from the fence line towards the water hazard on a sharp angle. Out of bounds all the way on the right also. There is no bail out option on this hole.
As harsh as it may seem. This is a great golf hole.
See pic below.

Here's how I made a moose with extras ☹️
Pulled driver off the tee. Ball in hazard.
Took 5 iron from the point of entry position to only take a bit of it on to get around the 150m rather than a lot with a 5 wood to get near 100m out.
Bladed that and it hits the dirt mound short off the hazard and sits on top in long grass.
Need wedge to hack it back towards fairway. Grass grabs head and hoods it over chopping it deep into hazard.
Point of entry is hit from same spot or go further backwards. Take the wedge again and hit that fat leaving it in the hazard still but possibly playable.
Nope, ball is in a little bush so take a drop out off the hazard. Finally get one into play leaving 80m to the scrape.
Leave that green high. Chip on for 10 and lip the 4 footer out for 11 to finish with a 12 [emoji106]

Combined our group of 3 had 26 on the hole [emoji3]

That yellow bloke in the gallery must have gone wild after seeing that.

[Hatchman]

Where to next? Truro or Wynarka?

No courses at either of those.

The bodies were found closer to Sedan than Truro but as Truro was on a main hwy it was a better story for people to identify with.
Mt Pleasant or Swan reach would be the closest.

Karoonda or even Tailem Bend would be the closest to Wynarka

Just checking in a classic Moose.

Par 5 deep in the trees off the tee, try and thread the needle and boom right back at me. Take a more sideways shot for the next and run it through the fairway into the jungle, take an unplayable and knock one down the fairway.

Have about 60 to the pin. Blade an easy sand wedge through the green over the back onto cart path. Try and chip into side of green and just pop it up and onto green. Catch it clean an land on green and roll through into bunker. Bunker shot to 10ft and miss putt for 9.

That was the 17th, toast after that and take an ugly 8 on the par 4 18th.

Happy Days what a great game it is!

[petethepilot]

A long time ago, but still memorable!

Had a 10 on a short par 4 including 5 shots in a greenside bunker (that I drove it in to)!
Was tied for the lead in the club champs at the time. Genuinely tried on every shot.

Tee shot ended up in unraked foot marks.
First bunker shot buried under lip.
Second didn't move it
Third moved it back into my footmarks
Fourth hit lip again but came back out.
Fifth bunker shot skinned over green under tree
Seventh shot (chip) ran well past the hole
3 putts including a 4 footer for my ten!

Can't recall much after that point due red mist!!

[Grumpy8]

I had a 16 on the par 5 9th at emerald golf club , no lost balls either . Chopped up from tee to green missed a putt for a point missed the back hander had a couple more goes to tap in knocked it off the green when someone said you do realise this is a stroke round had to knock it back on the green and get it in the hole . As it turned out I only finished 11 over my cap for the day

[Grumpy8]

had a 12 today on the 8 th at warragul today , poor drive, hit a tree with second shot lost ball , reloaded because we were playing stroke , got it around the tree and up the fairway a bit , next one into a greenside bunker , some turkey had left the rake sideways on the downslope , my ball stayed halfway up , skinnied the ball way across and over the green , played the rest one handed with my putter , day was already over but this made absolutely sure

Par 5 in front of green for 2. Had an 11

[highballin]

Please explain?

18th hole Byron Bay off the blacks. Nice drive right side of fairway, solid hybrid that carried approach bunkers and just ran out of steam to run onto green, instead just ran across and down front bank.

When I got too ball there was another ball on path just near my ball. So double checked it was my ball. All good just need to bump and run a chip up the bank onto green. Hit my spot on the bank but ball kicked hard left up and over swale.

No problem I thought easy chip from just off green and the way I was putting anything inside 10ft was a fair chance of going in. So walk up and over swale and my ball exactly where I thought it would be so just pop a lodge wedge onto soft stuff and roll onto green this time missed the soft stuff by a few inches and hit downslope of green and run through about 15-20ft.

Still happy easy 2putt bogey. Go to mark my ball and it wasn't my ball. Turns out there was another random ball near the green and my ball had run down the slope a bit further and sitting down a bit.

So now with a 2 stroke penalty and a quiet brain explosion happening take wrong club down the slope, gap wedge instead of lob wedge. Have a chip that needs to hit the green as the soft stuff will stop ball dead. Too pissed off to care now so don't go and change the club 4 chips later and a couple of putts. We have 11

[Johnno]

Was alerted that I'm meant to check in here after an 11 today. 16th at Liverpool. Worst blow out for years

9. Chip ball about 4m past hole
10. Putt stops 2 inches short
11. Tap in for the 11

Cost myself a few shots from the scar tissue also.

If it makes you feel better, a guy I know told me he had a 10-putt for a 14 on the par 5 18th today. :shock:

[Bitter]

My father in law told me he had a 27 on a par 5 today which included 19 from the bunker. Can't say I would have let it get that far myself.

I had a moose last month, but it wasn't in a comp, so it doesn't count.

[goughy]

Nice little 11 for me on the 17th at city this morning.
1. Driver to right edge half a foot off fairway, nothing wrong here
2. Awkward stance so naturally belt a 3 wood which I top into the trees right
3. Hit tree chipping sidways
4. Chip out to 135 out.
5. 8i to right bunker
6. out to other side of green
7. take stance and accidentally tap ball
8. putt to 3 feet low
9. putt
10. putt
11. putt

11th hole at Queenscliff, par 5. Generous fairway, but I snap hooked my first one into some thick waist high native grass. Needed to reload, but the bags were 100m away near the 10th tee and I didn't have a spare ball with me. Borrowed a ball off a partner, and snap hooked that into the same spot. Sorry mate. No balls left on the tee (or nobody wanted to admit they had one), so I had to walk to the bag. I was closer to the ball than the tee, so I had a look, but after finding the 4th abandoned ball that wasn't mine I realised it was a lost cause and jogged back with my driver and a couple of balls.

5 off the tee, tried to play a massive cut and managed a big draw to the left edge of the fairway. 3 wood to 140 out, then snap-hook-chunked a mid iron along the ground to the edge of a water hazard. It finished precariously stuck in long grass on the edge of the hazard, so I had to stand with my feet almost in the water (almost fell in) and the ball at waist height. Tried to grip a 7 iron way down near the bottom and hack out, and missed. And missed. And missed again. I was giggling by this stage. 4th attempt moved about 2m and made it onto level ground. Chipped over the back, putted back up and holed a 5-footer like a pro.

Playing partner said he had 6 for 2, I said I had 14 for 1 to much mirth.

[3Puttpete]

Chipped over the back, putted back up and holed a 5-footer like a pro.

Playing partner said he had 6 for 2, I said I had 14 for 1 to much mirth.That is the golf I want to play.

A hole Solarman would be proud of.

11th hole at Queenscliff, par 5. Generous fairway, but I snap hooked my first one into some thick waist high native grass. Needed to reload, but the bags were 100m away near the 10th tee and I didn't have a spare ball with me. Borrowed a ball off a partner, and snap hooked that into the same spot. Sorry mate. No balls left on the tee (or nobody wanted to admit they had one), so I had to walk to the bag. I was closer to the ball than the tee, so I had a look, but after finding the 4th abandoned ball that wasn't mine I realised it was a lost cause and jogged back with my driver and a couple of balls.

5 off the tee, tried to play a massive cut and managed a big draw to the left edge of the fairway. 3 wood to 140 out, then snap-hook-chunked a mid iron along the ground to the edge of a water hazard. It finished precariously stuck in long grass on the edge of the hazard, so I had to stand with my feet almost in the water (almost fell in) and the ball at waist height. Tried to grip a 7 iron way down near the bottom and hack out, and missed. And missed. And missed again. I was giggling by this stage. 4th attempt moved about 2m and made it onto level ground. Chipped over the back, putted back up and holed a 5-footer like a pro.

Playing partner said he had 6 for 2, I said I had 14 for 1 to much mirth.

Not sure which bit I enjoyed more, the 2 snap hooks or the 3 fresh air shots.Who am I kidding, it's all good.
At which point did you get to and think, crap I better start adding this up?

11th hole at Queenscliff, par 5:lol:. Generous fairway

Clearly not generous enough =P~

jogged back with my driver and a couple of balls

Is this confidence of arrogance?? :lol:

Is this confidence of arrogance?? [emoji38]If there's one thing I doubt you could ever accuse Larry of, it's arrogance with a golf club in hand.

[Dcanto]

If there's one thing I doubt you could ever accuse Larry of, it's arrogance with a golf club in hand. It would be like accusing Binh of being tall. :)

Played Maroochy River on Sunday, was having an absolute shocker in some very difficult conditions.

Walked off the 17th green and said to my mum "at least I haven't had a 7 today".

18th tee, found the fairway, 150 in to the howling headwind, hit 6 iron fat and dropped it in the water guarding the green. Took my drop, knifed that in to the wall and back in to the same water. Dropped again, spun it to a foot and tapped in for a 7. What a day. Shot 88 for a nett 85 haha.

I do recall thinking "this could be a big number" after I hit the 7th towards the hazard. After that it was just funny. I also recall thinking I should have just taken a drop the first time after the 3rd miss. Where's the fun in that though?


Clearly not generous enough =P~


Is this confidence of arrogance?? :lol:

I'm good at running. Thought I might as well do something I'm good at on that hole. I think at least one of my playing partners wanted me to NCR, but I'm stubborn like that.

:D Correct. I do have confidence though. I'm confident that anything could happen at any time.


 I'll remind you of that next time you hit me up for free advice.

Just give him some 'interesting' advice. :)

[wazamac]

Moosed it up on the 5th today. 😩

[aussieashley]

I haven’t had one, but can I just clarify - is a genuine moose an 8 or a 10?

[Daves]

A Moose is 10, 8 is a Snowman.

[LarryLong]

Moosed it up on the 5th today. 

Details? :)

[wazamac]

Pulled straight left into the boonge.
Reload for 3.
Couldn't be arsed looking for the first cause I would take too many to get back to the fairway.
Tried to steer my 4th shot instead of just hitting it resulting dead behind a gum tree.
Chip out for 5
6th came up short and landing on a sprinkler head, shooting straight left into the rough.
Chip onto the green for 7
First putt went about 2/3 the way on a big left to right break for 8.
Second went under the hole for 9
Then just tapped around the hole till it went in.
Total: 12
Care factor lost when walking to the ball after my 4th as when I was lining up, I was telling myself to just hit through it and not to steer it. Been a problem shot for me over the last couple of weeks and
can't get it through my stupid head.

[Ron Burgundy]

I had a moose and a snowman on the weekend. First comp round since June and only realized it was stroke when I went to mark the cards after the first. Awesome. It was rocks or diamonds all day. Mostly rocks. 2 par fives in 3 holes on the back nine are usually pretty straightforward. Ran out of both talent and luck and ended up with a 10 and 8. Lost all chance of giving a shit after that.

11 on 11 at Ocean Shores

Might have to start a new thread for him. A moose is only ten. :shock:

[Hard_Pan]

250m par 4 7th at Royal North Haven during our MMedal round today.

Drive was straight but ballooned up into the teeth of a 3 club headwind and landed 92m short of the pin. Now the wind was into from the right but I didn't want to aim right because there's a shitty greenside bunker immediately to the right of the pin. I went straight expecting the ball to drift left, as it did.

I landed pin high, 10 m to the left of the pin on a patchy, grabby Kikuyu lie. I did think to putt the ball up on the green but opted for a very short lob with my 60 deg.

Skulled the ball across the green and over the bunker and faced a 25m lob back over the bunker with no green to play with before the pin and a 3 club tail wind.
The softest lob shot I could muster got me just short of the pin but with too much backspin which rolled my ball off the green, and into the bunker.
Shot out of the bunker went too far and was 10m further to the left than I was three shots ago.

Opted for another lob but I concentrated on not skulling another so much that I chilly dipped this one a metre.

Head officially off, I proceeded to do exactly the same thing with my next shot before pulling my putter out and three putting for a 10. ;)

[Johnny Canuck]

Very good effort there.

This is obviously Karma for running my mouth off at the QLD champs :(

I had a https://goo.gl/images/5kmDLL Today. Indooroopilly GC Gold 1 which was my second hole of the day in the shitty wet. [emoji19] topped and cut 3 wood OB, reload and topped it down just past ladies, fuming and decided to hit 3 wood properly and skank pull into hazard 70m away on the left, I did not even know there was a hazard on that hole[emoji25] drop and hit 8 iron into fairway. Chunk Pw to front edge of green and 3 pissed off putts later we have a 10. I am a CHOPPER

[henno]

In Lucas's defence, it was very, very, very wet when I met up with him today. Taking a moose is an admirable feat when most of us would never have bothered teeing off.

You don’t defend a moose, you embrace a moose.

Pics?

Had one of these on friday on 9. Sad story of knifed bunker shots and duffed chips. This was after drowning 2 on 7 and taking a 9. Sometimes I hate golf.
