Week Commencing 8th August

[Outcast]

Since, no-one else has started it this week

Wed Stableford at Cairns GC

Not too bad, reasonably solid and hopefully puts the shambles of a weekend behind me:

81 / 72 for 36pts

FIR 10
GIR 7
Par 10
Bogey 7
Double 1
Putts 31

Putting and chipping were very solid today... not a single thee putt (Yippee)

[sms316]

First game since Origin 3 after well documented issues at home.

34 points. Hit it ok, but distance control was out all day. Was hitting it a club long quite a lot. Hit it into one of the newly refilled bunkers at Pelican and it was ****ing terrible. Went from having a buner shot which I would have got up and down for birdie 3/4 of the time to having 3 swipes to get out. Way to turn a birdie into a double. :mad:

[Daves]

Single Stab at Reddie Bay today. I ended up with 35 points, which whilst not great was pretty good considering I had only 5 points after 5 holes, and that included a birdie!. 5 times I was dead up against a tree or tree root, damn you Tree God!

16 - 19 = 35

7/18 GIR
8/14 FIR
33 Putts

2 birds
8 pars
1 bogey
5 doubles
1 triple

[hocko]

Played the back nine first, hit 5 of 7 fairways and had 12 points.
Front nine i hit 7 of 7 fairways and had 20 points and wiped 1 hole which i had a shot on.
Driver worked great, might be keeper!

[TourFit]

Driver worked great, might be keeper!

simmsy...is that you?

[Johnny Canuck]

Did you hit the right fairways is the million dollar question?

[hocko]

Yes, the best driving day i have had in a long time.

[MegaWatty]

Strange day. Started on 10 and chopped it around. The second was a bit better.

6.8 to 6.7 but I am backing up a played to zero next week. Eek!

[Daves]

I played in a Pro Am at Reddie Bay today, it was the first round of the Qld Senior PGA Championship. One of the Pros in our group (Jim Lapsley, an NZ'der) is in the equal lead after a great 67.

I managed to play some of the most consistent golf I have for a while and finished with 45 points to run away with the amateur comp. I also achieved one of my goals of playing a round with nothing worse than a 5 on the card.

23 - 22 = 45 (77 Gross, 5 over)

8/18 GIR
12/14 FIR
30 putts

1 bird
12 pars
4 bogeys
1 double

[Steve57]

Well played Dave.
Didn't stay on 14 for long!!!

[Talart]

New AP2 710 irons in the post yesterday, could not escape work commitments until 2 pm to give them a workout. Played the front 9 with irons only for a 44 offthe stick 4 pars, 2 bogies and 3 dbl bogies. Th DG R300 shafts are a definite improvement from S300 in my game. The putter was off inthe first 3 holes after playing on scrapes last weekend (my excuse lol) added a couple of strokes to the score. Strong winds on the track as well and hitting #3 Iron off the tee best was a 165m into the wind. Monthly Medal Sunday should be tuned up for a crack by then.

[Pieface]

Awesome golfing Daves. Well done!

Shame about the first 9 Mega. Looks like you had your groove on for most of the front 9.

[MegaWatty]

Cheers Face.

I hadn't made birdie for a few rounds and then made two in a row. I had several more chances that just missed after that and was upset with each one. I thought I should have been making everything within 20 feet! :)

Nice shootin' Daves!

[PeteyD]

Must have been my pep talk at the range on Tuesday Daves ;) hehe Nice shooting.

[AndyP]

12/08/2011, Nudgee GC (South), Stableford.

9/13 effective tee-shots.
6/18 effective approaches.
2/4 up and down successes.
1/5 sand save attempts.
33 putts. (Three Stab Streak Count - 31 holes)
------------------------
8 pars.
7 bogeys.
3 others.

Scoring PPPPBBBDB BBPPDBPPD

Score (http://www.ozgolf.net/andyp/Scorecard/rounds/20110812-p67.html): 41-42-83 stab 17-16-33pts (Par 35-35-70 ACR 69)

H/cap Change: +0.4 to 9.9. FFS.

I feel like I'm another step closer to getting my form back. I felt really confident over the ball at the start of the round, but somewhere along the way the irons turned ordinary again and only came back during the round in patches. I put the ball in too many bunkers to give myself a chance of saving some shots, as my chipping is going well at the moment and I could have got up and down.

The driver was solid after a dodgy practice round yesterday, but I didn't sink any decent length putts. Lots of places to shave strokes off the score, doing it is another thing.

Next round: 4 person ambrose with Oxy at Wolston Park next Saturday.

Thanks guys.

Must have been that Pete!;)

I was very happy with how I managed my round, I only used driver on 6 holes. Birdied the 14th (did also on Wednesday) using Hybrid off the tee.

Golf lesson on Fri messed with my mind.

Next event 4 Ambrose event with Andy P next weekend. I think the average HCP between them is about 7. Looking forward to getting the band back together for a great round at Wolston Park

[Daves]

Nice shooting rhino62, popper81, hocko and LeftyHoges.

[Dazza]

Played a social nine this morning.
Three pars, three bogeys, one birdie and two brain-farts (an 8 and a 9) 45 off the stick.

[Jarro]

[BrisVegas]

Wow, good shooting daves, rhino, popper and hocko!

[goonie]

31pts at Reddy Bay, 4-5 pars, a double and 1 wash (from memory)

This is my first game back since March (when I snapped my Achilles), I have to play in a cart, and I have barely hit any balls since the injury, so I am pretty happy.

[Jarro]

Well done goonie

Nudgee North 34 points, 4xwipes, 2x1 pointers.

welcome back goonie. Must be nice to finally use all that gear you've bought in the layoff.

[hocko]

First round of the Kwinana GC champs.
Nett 68, maybe leading, not sure yet.
Struggled for most of the day but very pleased with the outcome.

Backed it up with a f**king aweful 77.
I hit one fairway all morning! The weather was fairly ordinary at 7 am this morning, And the two blokes i played with were in a cart and seemed like they needed to be somewhere by 10am. They both shot over 110 too. I dont think this helped my game today!

[Iain]

42 points at Redland Bay this arvo. 20/22. Good to finally get a good round in. Hit a lot of very good shots. NTP on 13. Driver finally behaved, with 5/8 fairways hit using it after being 2/20 my last 2 rounds.

Nice, very nice. Well played.

[Pieface]

Game seems to be heading in roughly the right direction trying to do what the pro told me.

Out in 49 with a quad and a triple, 3 pars and a grab bag of double and single bogeys. Came back in 44, 3 pars and nothing worse than a double for a 93. A bit loose off the tee and struggled to hole anything over 3-4' with the putter which was a shame as I chipped pretty well and was inside 6-10 feet for a lot of 2 putts. Promising signs at any rate as my first 9 after the lesson was a 59. Nuffie gave me a couple of pointers the other day and it seemed to eliminate the fat shot I was battling.

[dazzgolf]

Monthly medal at Mt Warren GC.

Thanks boys.

Driver's still not on safe ground.

[hocko]

What are you playing off now Hocko?
7

[Pieface]

Some great golf there guys.

Hard luck on R2 Hocko. Seems odd that you got paired with a couple of hacks after your low R1. Iguess you can chalk that one up to experience to learn to block that stuff out.

[BrisVegas]

Good scoring Iain. You wanna borrow my 905S?

Had a look at the sheet yesterday and found out that i am only one shot behind in the A grade nett and coming 10th in gross overall.
The guy who is winning is leading by 14 shots at 4 under.
A good round on Saturday may put me in the top 8 for the last round?

Thanks for pointing that out captain obvious:lol:

[rubin]

i don't offer much - but i do what i can :D

I am the specialist on the fat shots...Nuffie's expertise lies in skinny, hence the success you had.

[Talart]

late responce but a busy week. Very happy with 40 points (played off 14hcp) to come second on a countback, to an 11 handicaopper and third on 36 points a 7 handicapper. 83 off the stick with 28 putts
