Week commencing 21 March

[timah!]

Well after playing some good golf during Pennants last Sunday, it was nice to continue it on for my first under-handicap round at Windaroo!

Front 9 started very shaky, but came home with a +6 off the stick for the back 9 with some better shots being played.

Missed more putts than I usually would which was a bit disappointing.

As a positive, nothing worse than a double on the card, which was an improvement.

Front: 49
Back: 42

Gross: 91
Nett: 67!

Let's see if I can continue on Sat!

Score (http://www.ozgolf.net/andyp/Scorecard/rounds/20110323-p49.html)(B9 1st): 45-47-92 stab 26pts (Par 36-36-72 ACR 71)

H/cap Change: 8.7 to 8.8.

I went out for a few holes during the week to work on my driving, which has been letting me down. By the end of the session, I had it dialed in nicely. It looks like I wasted my time, because I hit it shit off the tee for most of the day, and the rest of the game got dragged down with it.

Next comp round: Now that my game is in the poo, the Pennant trials are almost guaranteed to go ahead this week.

Aren't drivers fun!

[AndyP]

It's more frustrating when you've always been able to rely on short, straight driving.

Played at Kingston Beach today with Kingslayer33. My first time around the course.
Shot 80 (+9) with 4 double bogeys. Had 26 putts. Birdied the last two ...
Hit my irons much better ... just have to open up a little so i can get through the ball.

[Marto65]

Just played the Tasmania Golf Club. What a great course. Reminded me a lot of Royal Canberra. Superb nick .. quick true greens.
Shot 79 (+7) , with a triple bogey on the 9th, so played to my handicap of 7. Started birdie birdie ... (Ferrins .. sit down ... ) hit 9 greens. Hope that wasnt too much of a shock for you mate.
Parred the last 5 after a 3 putt bogey on 13. Stoked .... ready for Barny !!

[Minor_Threat]

2nd Rnd of Clubies today.

Had a shocker 77 nett 78. Course played tough, lots of wind, some rain and the greens were much firmer and quicker than they have been for months.
Shot Even the back 9 which was OK.

Finished No.1 qualifier by 7 shots.

*Edit* 2nd qualifier ended up 3 behind after just seeing the results. 3rd is 7 behind.

[Ned]

Finished No.1 qualifier by 7 shots.

Congrats on the result, bad luck about the round today!

Putts - 34

Monthly Medal at KB off the black tee's.

Played with 2 blokes i've never played with before. One guy is an absolute knobhead and he's off 9, the other guy is an awesome bloke who's of -2. (Yes minus 2, for the entire round, 1 ball was off the fairway, and that was only by 10cm).

Ended up being an NCR because the knob was pissing me off that much, i couldnt concentrate so asked for the card.

[henno]

I assume you mean +2, as technically your knobhead mate was off -9.

[rubin]

I assume you mean +2, as technically your knobhead mate was off -9.

no mate, but yes +2.

The club had it listed as -2.

Scoring PPPbPBPPP BBOPBPPBP

Score (http://www.ozgolf.net/andyp/Scorecard/rounds/20110327-p50.html): 1up; 31-46-77 with a 12 on the 5th [stab 23-15-38] (Par 31-35-66 ACR 63?)

H/cap Change: N/A

The driving seemed better, but it's not needed very often at WP. The putting was confident and everything else was solid.

Next comp rounds: Carbrook Wednesday, Wally Park Saturday, Pennants Sunday.

I played a very blah round at Camden Lakeside yesterday for 33 points.

Didn't do anything particularly well, or anything badly until a late meltdown on 17 when I suddenly lost all ability to hit the ball. Then on 18 I hit my two best shots of the day and lipped out for birdie.

Amazingly, the A Grade winner had 36 points. Worst winning score I've seen at the course. I definitely left four shots out there, but maybe all the other players can say the same thing.

[LeftyHoges]

75 yesterday for the 2nd round of club champs. 5 over for 36 holes, qualified 3rd, 10 shots back from 2nd and 13 back from 1st. Unbelieveable.

75-3-72. No handicap change, still 2.6.
3 birdies
9 pars
6 bogeys

8/14 fairways
9/18 GIR
29 Putts
5/10 Up 'n' Downs

Didnt chip well, hit some beautiful putts that just wouldnt go in (typical portland greens).

Off to district championships next sunday before quarters and semis of club champs in a fortnight. Some big games ahead.
