Week Commencing 3rd February 2014

[matty]

Played NSW today. Great conditions for the first 9. Then within 3 holes the wind and rain came. And boy did it come. Put it this way, I had 125m to the 14th for the approach. Hit a great 7 iron (165m shot for me), balls goes up and came back. Went about 100m on the fly. The wind and the rain was crazy. Finished with 28 points, with 4 wipes. Luckily I putted very well and sunk some bombs with no 3 putts. Played the last 6 in awful conditions in 1 over. 3 of the 4 wipes came before. Weird game we play.

[Jarro]

40 points (20/20) today (off 12) at Nudgee.

I birdie...1 x 1 pointer and 1 wipe.

Made some nice up'n'downs 8)

Nice Matty. Yeah it got a bit squally down this way yesterday.

How was the course looking?

[matty]

Couldn't fault it.

[dunteachin]

32 points (13/19) - very patchy first nine and not much better on the back - scored a birdie 4 on the 16th when my putt hit someone's marker and rebounded in - first time playing off 14 so not too disappointed - as they say, any result with a 3 in front of it is okay

[Eca]

Oops I did it again..
Penrith -1 after 8, same last week but 3 birds 2 bogeys this time. Double 9th last week, 3 putt bogey this time grrr..
Didn't quite recover from twith a double on the 11th & 18th for 6over on the day.

Good to see Jado out on the course :)

Well done Brittany ;)

[JADO75]

Unfortunately I was two fairways away from the one I was supposed to be on haha.
Well played E, the greens were rolling pretty good today.
I had 31pts off a 6hcp, apart from two crap drives I smashed it off the tee all day to leave wedges left only to miss the greens & not make the up & down. Talk about frustrating, it's like missing your mouth with a bloody spoon. On a bright note, the Jetspeed is an absolute beauty!

[Eca]

Well done Brittany ;)
Thanks Binh :) frustrating game that we love.

[mrbluu]

Thanks Binh :) frustrating game that we love.

Take all the positives out of it mate and sound like u will be going really low soon!!!

[Nuffie]

Shot 40 pts playing off 5 around The Vines Lakes Course in comp yday. Slope rated 126 and par 72. Finally, a summer breakthrough round is here. 9 fairways, 9 greens in reg, 5 up and downs inside 40m and 26 putts. Dare say I left 4 birds out there that missed by an inch or hung on the edge of the hole. 2 birds, 3 bogies, rest was parred. The back nine was played in 1 under. The front 2 over with bogeys on 13, 17 and 18.The round was a new PB on Lakes and the cap reaches an equal all time low of 3.8!

Hey Binh, that 3rd hole at Cabra is a piece of cake!! I had a 2 a 5 there yesterday!!

A fluke. The rest of the round was rubbish.

Maybe Pure Performance needs to attach an IQ tester to their Trackman to get more realistic numbers.

[matty]

A point of interest. The other day when I played NSW it had a DSR of 77 :shock:.
So for shooting 12 over off the stick I had a 'played to' 6 over! There, not so bad, is it?

Not enough pictures for me sorry mate

Not enough pictures for me sorry mate

Fair enough... Here you go... IN a nutshell:

Lots of this... leads to closer this and thus lower putts... lead to more of this! :)

Hey Binh, that 3rd hole at Cabra is a piece of cake!! I had a 2 a 5 there yesterday!!Was it a hole out with 3w for eagle? Think I've hit 5 iron on for my second shot once or twice.

19* hybrid - GPS said 194m to centre of green. Pin was centre-left. Thought I'd lipped out, then looked back and it had disappeared. Great feeling!!

Greens definitely rolled well, won 2ball with 47 lol.. been reading that -6 with 6GIR. So true. Missing greenside & straightforward chips & not getting within 3 feet even 5feet lol. I think I have to ditch the Texas wedge & bite the bullet since I dont practice.

[JADO75]

Congrats on the W Eca, you'll have to play with my mates & I one Wednesday

[Eca]

Thanks Jade. If you have a spot next week, I might be able to. If you do just let me know time & I'll confirm
Cheers :)

[Matt 3 Jab]

Really cant shoot a number, some things will never change!!

7/14 fairways - didnt hit it too badly

11/18 greens - still struggling with hitting a fade

35 putts - only 2 x 1 putts. I had 12 holes in a row where i 2 putted. I honestly cannot putt.

35 points off 6. it'll rate -2 so thats a 9 over

[jimandr]

After a couple of good games in a row, it was back to the usual rubbish for 33 points at Ballina today.

I started well, and was unlucky to be only 2 up after 7, and then played poorly the rest of the way. My score wasn't helped by getting every chip to within 8 feet, only to miss the putt.

I know how to swing the right way, but I just couldn't do it. Maybe next time it will come flooding back again.

Hey Matt, good numbers there except for putting & your saying you cannot putt. But as per rotella, off the greens you missed, how many chips/pitch to within 3 feet?

[Matt 3 Jab]

Yeahs wedges were poor as well. But I missed a fair few within the 10ft range for birdie. Only birdie of the day was on 18 which was a 2 putt as it's a short par 5.

Back to the broom stick for me

[3Puttpete]

36 points
8 fairways
5 GIR
1 x 3 putt
3 wipes
1 birdie

Won match play quarter final this morning. Playing off 20 vs 13 marker. Started horribly, lost the first two holes without even getting on the green. Was in trouble on third but managed to eke out a half. Then proceeded to win 4,5,6, half 7, win 8,9,10 to be suddenly 4 up. Halved 11, 12, 13 then parred 14 to win 5 and 4.

Felt like I hit the ball poorly all day but putted well.

On to the semis, I play the defending champion who is in ominous form. Playing off nine he was only two over off the stick in his match.

[3Puttpete]

Nice work Buzz

[BUSHY]

Seeing as the rain scared off my partners, I got some range work and some time on the putting green in the light rain. Then when it stopped I made a break for it down the 10th. Played 3 holes- 10, 11, 12 before my ride turned up. I hit it very solid too. I'm definitely going to keep the Covert @12.5*. The carry I got on 10&12 was awesome. There's a ridge that runs through the 10th at about 245m from the back tee and I generally land on top or slightly over. My drive today landed and plugged in the muck just short of the 100m marker which I make at roughly 265m. I've never hit it there on the fly before, was a bit shocked to see it there. I'll be 'lofting up' for the foreseeable future. Pretty happy.

FIR-2/2
GIR-3/3
Score- 10(-2)

Which leads me to my next point. Had my closest ever call with an ace at 11, 149m with a 7i straight at the flag one hop and I think it hit the pin and settled inside a metre. I guess the age old question, if it went in and no one saw it, did it happen?

[matty]

Only you can answer that one!

[BUSHY]

It's a hard one I reckon. It's probably my worst nightmare when I go out for solo rounds. I reckon it'd be sh*t. You'd want to share it with your mates.

Haha, yeah. I meant playing with them when you make one.

Memorial ambross today and winner winner chicken dinner :) we had 11 under off the stick and won it with a birdie on the last

[Coldtopper]

More hits than the Beatles this morning in 44o. Highlight was getting up n down from 170 for a Spaulding "Double turd". The F stick can go and get F ed.

[dunteachin]

30 points - 36 putts - 2 greens in regulation - eminently forgettable - at least it had a 3 in front which makes it an okay round

[Jackson]

28 points in my first outing at WAGC. Played horribly, couldn't get the ball in play from the tee and putted poorly.
Wiped 5 holes, and a couple of them were 2 shot holes. 3x 3putts, 38 putts total, 2 GIR and 4/13 fairways.
Only highlight was making par on the index 1 hole.

Can only improve from here I guess...

[Buzz]

Pretty poor 30pts today, 15-15. Two three putts ugh. Just didn't strike the ball at all well and also lost plenty of shots around the green. Less said the better really.

[BrisWesty]

Monthly medal 90/76 - with 2 birdies, but double bogeys, triple bogey and quad bogey.

[BUSHY]

WTF I don't think I've ever heard of or seen a stableford score in the 50s!!

I think it's actually 52 nett, but I've seen 50+ points. Wasn't there a guy last year that had 55points or something? It was in the paper.

[3Puttpete]

I had 68 this weekend

[Matt 3 Jab]

Guy at our club had 56 points the other week

[blurry]

One guy at penrith had 51 points .....and lost by 1

[Buzz]

lol I stand corrected on all fronts.

Burglars all of them :P

[mrbluu]

I played crap again yesterday, but I think I worked out a couple of things in my swing....time will tell.

[Captain Nemo]

Nice 37 pts around Royal Melbourne on fri.
Followed up by 43 pts around The Dunes on sat.
Both will look outstanding on Golflink....
Wont talk about yesterday
:smt010

That was some great shooting.

Both the dunes and Portsea rounds were flagged and into a all time low of 9.0.

Sandbagger please...

Played Royal Hobart on Sunday... Got through 6 holes before the 60km/h winds started kicking in.

Still happy with my 37pts (-3 69)... quality back nine of 6 birdies, 2 bogies and a par

35pts at the Riff
5 x1 pts
2 x birds
2 x wipes
Swinging well, just need to cut the crap out
Highlight was watching a mate of mine shoot a 64 off the stick which included 8 x birdies, 1 x eagle, 2 x bogies & a handful or near misses. It was awesome to watch!

[Eca]

Nice round Jado.
What's your mate off? That's an insane round!

Nice! Does Ray Play?

I played today at penrith too. Bad start double then bogey. Previous 2 rounds -1 going to the 9th finishing 6over, this time 6over already going to the 9th. Then finished 7over for the day. Funny game.
2 birds
2 wipe doubles
Nothing else really memorable, chipping is still mediocre at best.

[JADO75]

Ray doesn't play too much & is kinda picky with whom he plays with, he's not a snob or anything just a pretty quiet bloke unless you know him well. He's nowhere near as good as Ant but he's a striper too.
