Played at Riverside Oaks on Saturday with my wife. She had her first ever single figure round -shooting 9 over par. Handicap has dropped to 12.7 the lowest its ever been -needless to say she is stoked!

Me, a 5 over, with 4 three putts and a missed birdie from no more than 3 feet. Ahh the game of golf! :roll:

Played the best round of my life today. Shot 78 off the stick with 3 birdies (never had more than one in a round) and only 30 putts :P

Found the fairway 11 of 14 times. One word

Stoked

Congratulations sominc. 78 is great going! Was that at Indro? My best ever there is about that I think..

Jarro - good shooting. To go under your hnadicap in matchplay is a good effort. You'd have been tough to beat today.

Played Bankstown this morning, played well but failed to score well, 29 points; could have been anything! :roll: .

First time @ Bankstown for quite a while and was not used to the concrete like greens, if you hit a green on the fly it never stuck no matter how high it came in.

Another alarming thing is that I am too used to sprinkler heads for distances and have lost all ability to judge distances.

I had the dilema (sic) of 2 sprinkler heads no more than 5 meters apart reading 134 & 116 meters each. I went for 134, nice 8 iron, and sailed the ball on the back of the green for it to bounce off into the bunker.

Plenty of shots to bring me back next time

Grant,

Did you love the fairway bunkers on the 1st. Right in driving range, 7 paces between them with 5 foot high faces on a totally flat course.

I played there about 6 weeks ago with a guy who is a golf course architect (Golfer 69 knows him) & use to be a member there. He almost cried.

Grunt
3rd August 2005, 01:30 PM
Yes andrew

And there was another hole on the front 9 like it too

Jarro
3rd August 2005, 01:39 PM
played the wednesday comp at Pacific this morning.

started out great ..front 9 = 20 points, then went par/par to be 25 points after 11 holes 8)

then proceeded to hack my way around for a total of 31 points for the round :( forgot how to swing the clubs .... or i must have started thinking about how well i was playing :roll:

i hate this game :evil:

Gurgle gurge cough cough - what was that - oh - don't worry - that's just Jarro choking. :wink:

Stroke and putting yesterday. One better than last week - 95 nett 75 doh :oops:
Had two birdies - never had two in a round ( goes to show how bad some of the other holes were) The first on the 3rd par three looked like it was going in the hole off the tee. Finished only about 12 " from the hole. Second on a pretty difficult par 4 - great drive - lovely fairway shot and monster putt. Lovely. :D
I'm caddying tomorrow for Interclub ( pennant for higher handicaps) at the Dunes. Oh I hope the weather is kind. I've never caddied before - should be interesting. :roll:

Just make sure the buggy you're pulling has a seat! And chat to your player about anything but golf :)

Good advice Amanda.......I probably would have been guilty of focusing too much on the golf instead of helping her relax. Thanks :D

4th August 2005, 04:22 PM
I have found in my pennants game i was always forgetting that I had a caddy. Was alway putting clubs away and reaching for the buggy to push it along.

shot a blistering 92 around Nudgee today.

Hit the driver superbly, irons were first rate .... and i chipped and putted like a scratch marker...

.. can't for the life of me work out how i shot 21 over par :? :wink:

Couldn't hole a putt today.  Made 1 putt outside 4 feet all day, and missed a couple of short ones, too.  35 points. :?

Gross 86 (Nett 69, +4). Sitting 3 shots behind 2nd place in the champs, a gross 82 would have been handy.

No 3 putts but didn't sink the 4-5 footers, including a fairly straightforward birdie putt.Drove well most of the time, but there was some crap golf played.

One in the creek and one OB didn't help either. Generally got the feeling i threw it away today.

Pete - yeah, 4th round next week. I was 12 behind the leader :shock: (now in A-Res) and 3 behind 2nd place, but a good round next week could still upset things if results go my way. Nett 69 wasn't that bad, but i think gross 80-82 would have been great for next week.

Played quite well today in the monthly medal. Perfect weather, but pins in very difficult spots. Really only played two bad holes for double bogeys, dragging me down to 79, net 73.

Fairways = 9 of 14
Greens = 9 of 18
Putts = 33, two three putts, one birdie
Up and Down = 3 of 5
Sand Saves = 1 of 4.
1 Penalty

Played Riverlakes monthly medal today.

Had a 71 net (gross 94).

Shaz had a 71 net (gross 93)

Drove like a spastic (loosing them left and right), got myself out of the crap (only in crap when i played the "smart" play) well though. Putted like a champion.

Shaz was all over the place with the driver. Was hitting her irons well. Putter was hot and cold.

Shaz almost killed our playing partner. Some guy called Blair off a 12 handicap. He was telling her how to play........ lets just say she isn't fond of being told what to do.

Won the Chick of the Walk quarter-finals 6&5 against a 36 and 16 h/c pair (we were 22 & 35 h/c)

Made par on the 14th hole to seal the win :)

One small blemish - my partner doesn't think she did anything wrong when she grounded her club in a hazard while taking practice swings - her claim - she was 2m from the ball and it's a stupid rule :shock: Thank goodness the other team won the hole - if our opponents weren't going to ping her for it - I was.

blakey - my belief is that golf is all about honesty - if she wasn't going to fess up then I couldn't in good conscience take a win on a hole knowing that we (the team) incurred a penalty.

Is this the same one that does her block?

Caz and I played a charity day at our course - Caz 37 points (runner up) Paul 32 points.

Day was in aid of the family of one of the Club's directors who died of a tragic mistake in hospital aged 41(?) with 3 young children. :(

In matchplay, grounding the club in a hazard is lost of hole.

Tony - I think that was exactly what I was implying - I would have forfeited or conceded the hole if I had a good enough score to win it 8)
