What did you shoot. April 2017

[wazamac]

38/45. Nett 74
Couldn't do a thing wrong on the front.
F***ed in the head on the back.

[MAZA68]

Too wet this week and busted finger, means no golf. Not sure if the road was open to even get there!

[Johnno]

38/45. Nett 74Couldn't do a thing wrong on the front.F***ed in the head on the back. Must have been the day for it cause I was exactly the same. 37/45 nett 73. Started on the back 9 and figure when I putted out on 18 my brain must have thought job done and shut down.

[Feelzy]

101 off the stick for a 77 nett. Front 9 hit 48 with 4 PARS!

Went double, par, par, par, double, triple, quad, par, double.

Need a lesson or two with the driver as i've lost all confidence. A hit fairway today was Par/Bogey, miss and minimum double even if i had a decent view of the green.

Never had such an up and down 3hrs and 40 minutes.

I made the trek to Port Douglas to play Palmer Sea Reef (formerly Sea Temple, and 2017 QLD Champs Saturday venue) yesterday with Bushy & Solarman.

I started out poorly with a 3-jack on the 1st, struggling on the greens for most of the front 9 and turned with only 13pts. I pulled myself together and played the back 9 considerably better with 21pts to finish with 34.

Well played.

Another solid round yesterday, 19/18 for 37.
Left a few shots out there due to some bad putts but in saying that g.a is down to a new low of 6.7 so can't be to upset.

[WBennett]

83/74 - with two triples and a double.
Back down to 7.0

Nice work mate.

[davidw88]

Had a 2 man ambrose on Saturday and we had 5 under. Played Sunday and shot 1 under for 39points, 3 stabb for birdie from about 2 metres didn't help.

[backintheswing]

I'm hoping to play this Saturday. Will be my first game since Feb 26 due to a combination of work, wet weather, resulting in the course being closed, and the latest being cyclone Debbie and hundreds of trees down. I was at the golf club all weekend, but spent most of the time on a chainsaw.

[Hard_Pan]

36 points in the MM today.. 8 GIRs and probably just as many triple stabs.

[WBennett]

Cored, wet and lumpy greens that have been left to grow this week and were a complete lottery.

32 points, with 6 attempts at birdie inside 15 foot, and only made one putt longer than 3 foot for the day.

2 NTP's to two difficult pins when I left. Hopeful one holds up.

[wazamac]

[Courty]

With over 200mm of rain already this month the course is showing it. The course is beyond saturation point, and today's conditions were preferred lies, standing water everywhere, bunkers GUR, no run etc etc.
A small number of us braved the squalls & showers this morning to have a crack at it. I felt like I hit the ball reasonably well for the most part, but couldn't put a score together, finishing with 32pts.

[Bitter]

28 pts with disgusting golf

[benno_r]

Got a quick 18 in at Okpo Screen golf. First time I have swung a club in 4 weeks, after hurting my back.

After a little Korean/English troubles I was away. RBZ max irons, smoke putter, and ti max power driver was the weapons for the day. Course was a loose adaptation of the old course.

Started of poorly, spraying a few drivers OB, and also struggled with sim putting. Turned the front 9 in 55. Finally figured out how to aim the sim, sorted out my swing, and hit 6 gir. Unfortunately it's going to take a while to learn how to sim putt. Did manage a single one putt on the last for a birdie. Easy 46 for a 101 total.

Now, to the Sim. It was unreal, way better than anything I have seen. The hitting area has fw, rough and "sand" lies. It also is motorised and tilts to match your lie. It seems to be camera based, with 3 cameras in the ceiling. Graphics are a step above GC2. It has an automated ball return and auto teeing. The complex itself has 12 bays, and is one of 4 I have found so far in town.

It's about the best I will get in the lead up to NSW champs. And it only took 45min. As I was leaving, about 50 people were waiting for the "Saturday comp" to start.

Nice one, Ben. How much did it cost?

[Lagerlover]

37 @ WAnker champs How many putts?

[benno_r]

Nice one, Ben. How much did it cost?
15000won, which is about $17.

[AndyP]

15000won, which is about $17.
Sounds like great value.

Played MM at Lynwood today. Gross 80 for nett 71. Not bad but had a triple, a double and a three putt bogey from 4 feet on the last. Would have won the A grade nett medal with nett 69 :( On the brighter side, GA went down to 7.3. The lowest I've ever been :)

Nice work Rich. A shame about the blips on the card but a solid round.

Can't believe 7.3 is the lowest you've been... thought for sure you were just going through a rough patch of late... #flusha ;)

38 points despite three double bogies. :neutral:

Thank Waz. Doubles and triples are never too far away when I play. 5 of the 8 shots I dropped today were the double and triple. Very typical round for me so when I can ditch those big numbers, I'll be where I should be hopefully. In fairness, Lynwood plays pretty short and suits my game as well so have always played quite well there. Well most of the time anyway..........;)

[Jazz18]

38 points despite three double bogies. :neutral:

That's a good result with three doubles but it does hurt thinking of what could be though. I know how you feel.

[Grumpy8]

played in stableford comp yesterday at beaconhills ,first game in a month , 18/6 =24 pts but for 15 holes only, lightning storm ended the day early had wiped the last two holes so was more than happy to get off the course

[Lagerlover]

38 points despite three double bogies. :neutral: 3pp had a few more than that

[3Puttpete]

How many putts?

Not as many as you'd think

[Lagerlover]

Not as many as you'd hopeYou'd be surprised

[3Puttpete]

....by anything you think? Yes and no

[Feelzy]

35pts yesterday. A few more pars again and some wasted opportunities but much happier with the driver even if I only got confidence with it 10 minutes before the start of the round.

[wazamac]

29 points today whilst trying a different shaft in the driver. Didn't like.

[blurry]

80/74 in the medal at penrith yesterday but course rated 75 so played to 4.6 , h/c down to 5.0

[shazza_rs]

86/73 yesterday in the MM. Few shit holes but mostly good.

Monthly Medal shot even par 71 for 69 nett.

[JoeS]

Growling frog 35 points

[Matt 3 Jab]

75 at Bungool on Thursday. Hit it pretty well all day.

[SundayHack]

33pts yesterday. Happy with how I played. Rough is brutal at the moment from the weather we have had. Lost 2 balls that from the tee that I thought would have been fine but were never to be seen again.

[Courty]

17pts in the 9-hole comp after Masters breakfast this morning.

[WBennett]

Midweek monthly medal at Gungahlin today - first group out kicking the dew off.

Started ok, and finished with a birdie on 9 for 37 around the front.

Then on 10 got an unlucky bounce into the water off the tee, dropped into a shocker of a lie with 145m water carry in, blocked the next in the water, dropped, shanked the next one into a tree which ricocheted back into the water. Chip, 2 putts, 9.

Ended up with nett 73 which will probably be a played to 5 once scores come in.

How good is golf?

[Lagerlover]

37 @ WAnker champs This is the post I was telling you about today perci ^^^

[Johnno]

Good friday my arse...how can it be a good friday when you have 25pts, dunk 5 balls and come back after putting out on the 10th to find a nice green bird shit splattered on your driver cover....Thanks for nothing Jebus

[3Puttpete]

Chopped it up and raised the bat in the copperhead

[Courty]

37pts & a friendly matchplay win (2/1) over Bushy.

[WBennett]

Played Royal Canberra today - 4bbb par. Started well, had a bad patch for 4 holes where I made 4 straight misses (all would have beem tap in 1 pointers).

We ended up -2, I had -3 by myself.

Course is fantastic. The changes make it long off the plates, amd there are some amazingly difficult greens.

They were running at 11.5 today, and would be insane running much faster.

[shazza_rs]

34 points today at Toowoomba City Golf Club.

No birdies, some pars, few bogies and a couple of others.

[davidw88]

Worse I've played in a while, 31 points, saved my arse with chipping and putting as well to get that many. Only hit 3 greens.

[3Puttpete]

[MAZA68]

80/73 Monthly Medal, delayed due to wet weather. Scarified Greens and river silt throughout the course, made for challenging conditions.

[shazza_rs]

95/80 in the 1st round of the Middle Ridge open.
Too many doubles. Oh well. Not the worst I've scored.

[Courty]

Easter Saturday stroke event... started with 3 straight doubles, then birdie, then triple. FFS. Gave myself an uppercut and a stern talking to then reeled off 7 straight pars. Finished up with 82/74.

[wazamac]

33 yesterday with some steady play
31 today, drove well, irons crisp, putted like it was my very first game

[vader77]

35 yesterday at Twin Creeks with 4 3-putts. Used my brand new untested Cobra F7+ Driver..... Weapon!!!!

[AndyP]

17/04/2017, Jindalee GC (Social Tees), Social 9 holes.

I haven't touched a club since Dec 6, when I played at Barny Dunes with BenM. I didn't hit it fantastically, but good enough to take advantage of a short course to match my three bogeys with three birdies for even par. Game conquered!

Apologies to my charity golf day partners on Friday, for using up all my good golf early.

Score 33 (Par 33). BbBBPbbPP

Social 9 at Gunnedah.
52 off the stick.
Not bad, considering that's the third round I've played in nearly 3 years.
Took me 6 holes to hit a good drive, iron play was solid, 22 putts the killer today. Too many 3 putts.

[Hatchman]

First real game since End of Nov last year.
Lots of miss hits and not many good ones.
25pts @ TTG, 3pts in last 6 holes. This was better than most rounds I have on this course.

[Lagerlover]

Welcome back

[shazza_rs]

Easter Sunday Day 2 of the Easter Classic - 95/80 (same as the first round funnily enough)

Easter Monday - Nudgee North - 31 points. Nothing too bad, 2 wipes.

I'm not back yet.
No idea when I can be bothered for next one.

About what we had on Sunday as well. :D
Did everything pull up good?

[Jazz18]

Didn't want to post till it was an official round on golflink (innocently forgot to sign my card so needed to speak to the GM of the club to get it approved for handicapping) but had 36pts (19/17) in the monster Thursday (tips) stableford at Stonecutters last Thursday. Tripled the first and doubled the 12th but aside from that was happy to finish with 36pts. Hit the ball quite well on the front 9 but hit the ball pretty ordinary on the back. Didn't make many putts on the front but scrambled and made a couple on the back. Handicap down to 6.9.

[Bitter]

86/76 in a catch up medal day for the March one that was washed out. First game in a while and hit it decent but 5 x doubles is never impressive on the scorecard.

[blurry]

39 points off 6 at Penrith in the Anzac cup this morning
20/19 . Even par front nine ,3 over on the back

[wazamac]

Bladed the ball all day for a 31.. Also before we teed off there was a paired multiplier comp.
Threw the balls up and picked our partners. Ended up with 66 points.
Handed the card in pretty happy and they said we ****ed up and the score should of been an aggregate ( added instead of multiplied) and that the teams would be chosen as per the booking sheet.
So basically nobody knows how they did. 🤔

[Jazz18]

33 points in a dismal display of putting (35 putts). For the 3rd week in a row I've hit my second shot on my first hole (10th) to 4ft and walked off with par.

[Feelzy]

37pts yesterday. No wipes. 4th overall and 1st win in C Grade.

DSR played to the course par 71 instead of 69. Cap dropped .3, now 23.7 but enough to drop a shot on Saturdays when off the Blue tees.

[LarryLong]

Had a day out yesterday in my first comp round for a month. We played 4BBB stableford, so I wasted it somewhat, but I'm happy to be in form.

82 off the stick off 18, would have been 44 points by my calculations, with 2 wipes. Wiped 10, but then went around the rest of the back 9 in even par. My pair finished with 47 points, but we got knocked off by another group who had 48 for some shield or something.

36 points 85 off the stick at Yarra Bend in Melbourne this Saturday. Made the turn at 5 over 40 then proceeded to have a couple 7's and a 3 putt par on a par 5. All in all plenty of things to be please about for the round.

[KristianJ]

27 points (10/17) at Richmond this morning. Hardly hit a fairway, couldn't draw anything to save myself, but somehow finished with the same ball that I started with and jagged a bird on 16.

Last 5 holes were fairly good (12 points), but 5 wipes in the first 13 wasn't.

34 Points in first comp since operation today. Missed some easy putts and duffed a few chips. Fat handicap makes it look better than it was. Some promise of interesting times ahead as I get used to the bionic hip.

On a side note, it must have been an easy day the winner had 47 points ....

[Courty]

37pts this afternoon. Pretty solid round but there's always shots left out there.

If only my two up had been so successful.

[Dcanto]

Nice scoring WB and Courty.

[wazamac]

31 very disappointing points yesterday.

39 shots ( 19 points) on the front. Hitting my drives straight but not long. Irons were crisp and easy two putts.
Turned and started with a 140m par three. Nice tee shot to 10 ft. 3 putted. 1 point
11th tee shot was not long once again but smoked a 3 iron to the front of the green. 3 putted. 2 points
12th, nice tee shot, smoked the 3 iron to 18 inches, easy tap in bird thinking the 3 putts were done with. 4 points
Proceeded to play the last 6 holes like I've never played golf before with a total of 5 points.

Started pulling out clubs that I never felt comfortable standing over but still proceeded to play.
Knocking putts 6-8ft past the hole losing all of my touch on the green, decelerating through bunker shots and lifting my head up before starting the down swing.

What a f***ing knob.:(

[Lagerlover]

did someone say knob??Too soon mate.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Finally got my game together for a whole round at Magenta and had Even par 72 (42 points).

Good to have a hit and share a couple of beers (and 1 LLB) with some mates.

I played at Gordonvale GC this morning with the Navy Social Golf Club. The greens have been verti-cut recently and sanded even more recently (seemed like they were done this morning :shock:). I'll blame the greens for about 4 shots, but it's not enough to explain my 29pts.

4BBB this morning. Our 4th didn't show so I was the swinger. One pair shot 39, the other 43. I worked out I would have had 33ts individually. 6 x 3-pointers and a almost as many doubles/ wipes.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Square in a par event today. (77)

37 the front and 40 the back. Few lipouts but overall still hitting the ball well.

[MAZA68]

Monthly Medal 79/72.

[Lagerlover]

Good shooting partner

[davidw88]

77/ 75 played the front nine 6 over and had even par on the back. Front nine is usually a couple of shots easier than the back, hit the ball like puss for about the first 6 holes.

[PeteyD]

Another 34 points. Where Tuesday was slow and steady this was crap for the first 7 holes and then i came good. 13 points on the front and 21 coming home, finished with 3 pars which was nice. Putting and chipping still a bit ugly but starting to come good. Playing in the back marker on Friday.

[wazamac]

-3 in par today. Wasn't hitting ball all that well.

[jwags]

32 points in stableford on Saturday 82 off the stick. pretty good front 9 but 3 wipes on the back killed my round.

[wazamac]

-9 in par today.
Could only get the club half way back. Off to the Physio tomorrow to fix a problem with the shoulder.

[chappy1970]

35 points today. Solidish, if i can make up a word. 1 wipe.

Played with a 2 market who shot 2 under of the stick. Was really great to watch. He hit the ball further than anyone i have ever played with.

[Jazz18]

30 points (16/14). Three triples and a bogey on a par 5 with only 7 iron to the pin for my second. Not a happy camper!

[hippo10]

Finally a return to something resembling form with 84/73 and 80/69 over the weekend at the Rocky open. A quad in each round took some of the shine off though.

[goughy]

How in the world someone can hit the ball so badly and still break 100 has got me stumped! So has my swing. Left shoulder trick didn't work yesterday Daves...... holy crap that was bad. I should have known I was in for a world of hurt when I birdied the first hole of the day..... Took me the rest of the nine to surpass that holes points!
