Week Commencing 4th April 2010

[Grunt]

Wow, me first again.

Played at Georges River again today and I wish I could say it was just like last week but it wasn't I was back to my consistently inconsistent best.

Was the Midweek Monthly medal there on recently cored slow greens. but no excuses i just had too many brain fades to let it matter.

92 Gross
72 Nett

2 Birdies
2 Pars
8 Bogies
6 Doubles or worse
5/12 Fairways
2 GIR
32 Putts with 2 3 putts

Tried the old Adams GT driver as the Cobra is just going too high, will not be trying it again. Will be on the look out for a new driver in the near future. Also trying a new swing with me standing more upright and less crouched, seems to be working only down side is I seem to have lost a little distance.
Next game: Leon Treadwell Golf Day

06/04/2011, Carbrook GC.

Score (http://www.ozgolf.net/andyp/Scorecard/rounds/20110406-p52.html): Lots

No H/cap Change.

I felt confident going into the round and natrually pull hooked the first shot into the piss, lost the plot, laid up into the creek, took triple, continued to lose the plot. I held it together for a few holes, then pulled another tee shot on 6 for another triple. I gave up after the tee shot on 8. Worst mental game ever. Disgraceful! Sleep deprivation is my excuse, but it still wasn't good enough.

Next round: Pennants at Sandgate on Sunday.

New low handicap of 5.9

[Yossarian]

Didn't you hit 3 wood on 14?

[TourFit]

Nice card Mega. Awesome scrambling numbers too, and 8 one putts.

What software is that, BTW? Looks great!

[Yossarian]

Good sandbagging, 3 putting when possible. ;)

[MegaWatty]

Golfshot. I use it on iPhone, and can view the stats there or online. It also does GPS.

And yes, I did hit 3 wood. Will have to change it, but will leave this up.

From 8 foot was a special. I bet you couldn't tell that I meant it!

[AndyP]

Good score, Watty. You're a player.

[MegaWatty]

Thanks mate. It's cooler when you spel it playa. :)

[TourFit]

Thanks mate. It's cooler when you spel it playa. :)

Hennos' head just exploded.

[MegaWatty]

Lol.

[KristianJ]

Managed to get out onto a course for 9 holes for the first time in about 6 weeks - back 9 at Glenmore Heritage.

+3 (1 birdie, 4 bogeys, the rest pars)
4/7 fairways
5/9 GIR
1/4 up and downs
16 putts

It was my first time on course with the 300 Forgeds, and it's still taking a little bit of time to find the right tempo for them. A couple of my wayward approaches airmailed the green by about half a club length, and the others were more or less pushes. Driver worked well, iron play was OK, and my short game/putting was a little mixed.

I'll have time next week to get in at least 2 or 3 18 hole rounds, so will keep on working on the swing tempo and get the 300s working a bit better.

I may be wrong here, but isn't the idea to get clubs that suit your tempo ? Not change your swing to suit your clubs ?

[Courty]

I played this morning at a soggy Cairns GC with DCanto, Tomson & Solarman. I'm still scratching my head as to how I managed to score as well as I did considering how poorly I hit the ball. :smt102

Stats here (http://golfshot.com/rounds/detail/98-4116085-4116197).

[MegaWatty]

Mate email Golfshot and tell the the correct course rating and get them to set the slope to 113. Stableford scores will then work. They'll normally have it fixed in 24 hours.

[BrisVegas]

Final of the club matchplay champs today. I snuck a win 1 up! Giddyup! First "club champion" for me of any description in 20 years of golf.

Played last years champ, a guy off 3 with a sublime short game. Neither of us played our best today, but I did enough for the win. I think I was 81 or so off the plates. We were pretty even all the way til the 16th, when I stuck a 4 iron in pretty close for the win to go one up. We halved 17 in birdies and then I halved 18 for the win. Pretty stoked right now.

[MegaWatty]

Great work BV. Congrats mate. Enjoy the celebration!

[Courty]

Congratulations, Dion. A career-defining moment right there!

[Eag's]

Awesome stuff Dion :smt038

[Daves]

[Ferrins]

Well done, Dion.

[BrisVegas]

Thanks guys. Hasn't sunk in yet. My mate and I are trying to defend our Foursome championships win next Saturday. Should be fun.

[Steve57]

Final Round of the Club Championships today - finished 3rd overall
72 gross 66 nett (Par 70)
10 GIR
10 FW
28 putts

Hit the ball really well all day, can only remember hitting 2 poor shots.
Missed a 15 inch putt on the 18th which cost me the daily comp. win. (Runner up on countback)

[MegaWatty]

Good work nonetheless Steve.

[TourFit]

Congrats Dion...

[Grunt]

Great Work Dion. Honour Board a fine club is something for sure.

[mike]

Lol.You capitalized 'lol'.

Very good.

[MegaWatty]

The iPhone did. ;)

[Scottt]

Not quite as impressive as Vegas or Steve.

Yesterday was the final round of the Bonnie Doon champs. I went into the round 6th in A-Res.

Shot the low round in my grade - 81 with 9 GIR and 30 putts - to move up to 3rd place.

Was +4 through three holes, parred 4-7, bogeyed 8 and 9 which are both tough par fours, parred through to 12, then 13-14 I played in +4 to hand over any chance of contending, then played the last three in even par.

I was nine back starting the day, so I never fancied that I had a chance of contending, but pleasing to finish top three.

[Marto65]

Hey Dion ... DAS OSSUM !!!!

Well done mate.

[live4golf]

Once upon a time there was a reasonable golfer who played golf one fine Sunday.

He had 41 putts on his way to an 8 over 80

THE END.

Someone needs a new putter.

Someone needs a new putter.

...and a hug :(

[Yossarian]

Very nice Steve57.

[TourFit]

I played Par Comp at Lakelands (WA) on Sat arvo...gusty winds, back tees and some tough pins (ACR 73)

Let's just say that for the way I chopped it all day (AND I MEAN CHOPPED IT!), I finished at -2, my 'cap went down AND I LOST A SHOT! (9.6 to 9.3). I am astounded at my score...never have I played SO bad for a -2.

And I was hoping to go out in time for Champs and a Matchplay game vs Mega...oh well, there's always Tuesday at Secret Harbour.

[rubin]

shows the signs of some good golf then Fit. its generally a good thing when you think you've f**ked it all up and end up shooting an ok score.

[Minor_Threat]

Awesome stuff BV, congratualtions.

I played my Qtr Final of the Club Champs yesterday against the winner for of the previous 2 years. I went down 2/1 which was played over 36 holes.

I hit the ball fantastic and missed only 5 greens in 35 holes. I just didn't hole enough putts unfortunately, my opponent on the other hand was just awesome with the putter and hardly missed a putt all day.

Doing a rough score check we both would have been about -1 or 2 for the 35 holes.

[BrisVegas]

bad luck MT. Your club has got waaay more depth than mine obviously! A gross score in the 70's is always a chance for a win at Brookwater.

[Steve57]

Thanks guys.

Well done BV and commiserations MT.

[ruud]

Had another great day on Sat.
Broke 90 for the first time last week (personal best), and followed that up again this week with another sub 90 for 46 pts.
Had my first EAGLE ever.
And won my first social comp which was an agregate stableford pts over 2 weeks.

[Tongueboy]
