Did you wear your Ricky pants?

[Courty]

Monthly Medal at Cairns GC with Bushy & Solarman today... My up & downs weren't dropping today so I didn't make as many par saves as I would like, but otherwise I hit it ok apart from a triple & a double. 84/75.

[Micdeez]

Did you wear your Ricky pants?

Yes, the black Ricky pants [emoji23]

[mrbluu]

Did you win the burgers?

[davidw88]

79/77 struggled all round.

Did you win the burgers?

I did. [emoji41]

[BUSHY]

I did. [emoji41]

[emoji26] 3 softish bogeys in a row from 2-4 were concerning but pars through 12 had me on track again for lunch.

That is until a missed 2 footer on 13 for bogey, followed by a water ball and triple on 14, another lipout bogey on 16 and 17 and finally a MASSIVE horseshoe bogey from 3 ft on 18.

In the end it was 2 shots, but I used a voucher for the lunch. Hopefully the handicapper does his job before next game.

83/77

I only had 33pts stableford equivalent, so no change to my 'cap. 8)

You woulda thought winning lunch would have meant an automatic reduction in cap irrespective of points 😉

If you can convince Golf Australia to implement that rule, then I'll abide by it. ;)

[grandmasterb]

Monthly Medal yesterday and just missed another one by a shot - 77/69 (winner had 68)

[BUSHY]

It evens out. I took a few feeds when I was playing an inflated cap. What do they say? Swings and Roundabouts?

[davidw88]

Pennants again today. Won 5/3 thought I was going to get another flogging when he birdied the first 2 holes.

[coalesce]

101/80 today in my first Sunday morning outing in a while. Too many 3 putts. Bloody cold too.

[nadg63]

46/45 - 76, happy with that, having just checked my H/C record that was my first stroke round since April 2015! :shock: Good morning out there with Coalesce, Wazamac and Jasonb.

As Coalesce mentioned it was indeed bloody cold - outside temp in my car showed 1.5*

Frosty:-

91/82. Crap golf all round.
As the other lads said. Frosty morning but turned out to be really nice day.

****, it hasn't even been that cold in Tassie yet!!!

[nadg63]

****, it hasn't even been that cold in Tassie yet!!! No, even Strahan wasn't its normal frosty self when I was there doing Targa!

[wazamac]

It was so cold, my balls wouldn't drop until the 18th. :razz:

[WBennett]

FFS boys, harden up.

First group out on Saturday teed off in -4. I was lucky enough to be at netball at 8 in -2 so missed the good times.
Sunday - the fog lifted when the first group hit the 18th tee.

Us afternoon players had perfect 12 degrees both days :)

[jimandr]

I was going to start my Wednesday golf report with a whinge about how cold the forecast was predicting, and how this predicted top of 18 was forcing me to wear long trousers for the first time this year.

I'll still whinge, but it turned out to be a great day weather-wise, with no breeze to create a wind-chill.

32 points was my final score, but I played better than that score suggests. I holed three putts of over 15 feet, but missed five of under 5 feet. Swings and roundabouts.

My real lowlight followed one of my best drives of the day. from the white tees of our 11th hole. The trouble was that we were playing from the blues, so two shots were burnt right there. I've only ever done that once before.

Top effort Jim! I have only done it once as well. About 2 weeks ago. Tee'd off from the whites on a 380m par 4, sprayed it OB right. Tee'd for 5 from the blues. Didn't manage to hole my "second" for a point.

[Feelzy]

Bit of an update - I haven't posted in a while.

Played in the midweek today and only managed 32 points in perfect conditions which ends a run of 7 straight flagged rounds. I've had a few C grade wins/places but finally last Saturday I won the comp overall with 42 points.

Today was also my 20th round of competition golf since joining in January. Handicap has fallen 3.0 shots (was 24.1 - now 21.1) but as seen above, it's only started to drop consistently in the last 7 weeks.

Last round of the quarterly medal on Saturday. Sitting 4th but also 4 off the pace playing Par. Hope to continue the Saturday form and impress again.

tl;dr: Bandit finally lives up to name. Gloats about it. The end. ;)

[Grumpy8]

Well done feelzy .

[Courty]

Great stuff Dean, with results comes confidence. You'll be off single figures for the 2018 VIC Champs. ;)

[benno_r]

Come to qld champs Deano and wipe us all out...

[WBennett]

Onya Feelzy. Are any of the Vic Champs auction toys still in the bag?

[Dotty]

I was ahead of my time with the 'Best score = Feelzy' Calcutta bet. ;)

Well done, and I trust that auction driver was the catalyst for these good results.

[WBennett]

Cheeky 40 points. 3 bogies, a double, a birdie and the rest boring pars.

Can't say I hit it well (two cold topped tee shots in that), but kept finding fairways, kept finding greens, kept having 2 putts - or getting up and down when I didn't. Crucially I didn't miss anything inside 10 foot for the day.

[Dotty]

Douglas Adams was right ... 42.

The age that you start golfing like a overweight 55 year old white guy.

[davidw88]

32 points today.

[Steve57]

39 points after starting birdie, birdie, birdie!
Could have birdied six of the first seven with the longest missed putt being 15 feet!
Finished runner up in A grade.

[Courty]

34pts with a wipe today. Happy with how I played leading up to tomorrow's Foursomes Championship with Bushy.

[wazamac]

38 today 18/20.

2 wipes and 3 x 3 jiggles cost dearly as today was for legacy.
Each grade winner from each club that competes goes to Glenelg later in the year to compete and have lunch with the Govenor.

Missed out by a point.

[SundayHack]

Worse score in a longtime yesterday. 95/85. Did however execute 3 text book helicopters. All with varying degrees of club selection.

[Captain Nemo]

You drank it out of you last night!

[wazamac]

17/20 for 37 points.

Seems like it's going to be the second day in a row that I score the winning card.
Jasonb had a measly 41

[coalesce]

28 today with a nice even split of 10/18

Off to the shank thread for confession...

[oldracer]

[MAZA68]

Played Club Champs Foursome 27 Holes (Played as a Canadian Foursome), managed a 3rd Place in the Net, 126/31.5/94.5 and an NTP.

[nadg63]

30 19/11 - took up Marcel's invitation for a game at Royal Adelaide GC. Good morning for it, waning concentration and a couple of dodgy drives spoilt the back nine but happy with that.

[wazamac]

Queens B/ Day Ambrose today with 3 x 25+ handicappers.
70/ 59.25
Couple of disappointing bogeys but fun day

[Lagerlover]

Top ten finish waz?

[wazamac]

Buggered if I know? they only went down to 3rd place and we were 1.5 shots off that, so maybe.

[Jazz18]

Still chopping it in the 20's. Can't score more than 29 points lately and having 3 or 4 wipes every round like I used to 12 months ago. Thought I'd sorted that out. This game is f$%ked sometimes.

[wazamac]

17/18, 35 points. Drives could of been better but hit the irons crisp.
Putting was very consistent but couldn't get one too drop.

[BUSHY]

Courty and I played 4bbb this morning and managed to shoot 74/66 with 3 birdies. Nowhere near good enough for the 92/58 that came in.

I can do that myself, Thank you.

[TourFit]

2nd game back after a 3 month layoff...37pts. Had a wipe and five 1 pointers!

This game is easy.

[Hard_Pan]

37 points today with six 1 pointers. Winning score was 39. :roll:

[wazamac]

34 points. 20/14 absolute tripe for the last 4 holes . 3 putting 3 of them wiping 2

[Bitter]

33pts 11/22, atrocious front nine followed but some good ball striking on the back even with it flogging down with rain. Was 2 under playing the last and made double to shoot even for the back 9

[coalesce]

27 points today. Lots of low cloud yet one of my competitors still had 3 helicopters flying around them ;)

[davidw88]

31 points, had some hard hole locations for how fast the greens are at the moment, tried putting up the hill on one green 3 times and come back to my feet so the last one ended up over the fence at the back.

[Micdeez]

+8 (Par). Won C grade again, woot!

[MAZA68]

74 - 7 - 67.

[Dcanto]

31 points at Gordonvale yesterday. Played most of the round in drizzly rain but that was still no excuse for missing as many greens as I did.

[Lagerlover]

No golf for me today, which was a blessing for my mate as he needed to borrow my golflink number.

[3Puttpete]

The good news is you probably won't have to go back to collect a prize

[Johnno]

36 pts yesterday, couldn't have scored much lower with how well I hit my irons
31 pts today, couldn't have scored much better with how I hit them today.

[wazamac]

25 points on Saturday. Didn't feel the love. Hit the ball everywhere except the back of it.
36 on Sunday. Hit the ball pretty clean but had three stupid 3 jiggles.

Stupid Game.

[Lagerlover]

The good news is you probably won't have to go back to collect a prize He told me you were quite rude to him throughout the round

[3Puttpete]

He was treated appropriately

[Grumpy8]

Played at Warragul 24 pts 13 n 11 , drove the ball ok putted like shite , had a lot of 3 putts , only two wipes . First comp since early April so just happy to have got back out there , see how the back goes over the next few days

[jimandr]

My first game for three weeks after a very rainy spell in my part of the world. The course is a bit soft, but in theory preferred lies through the green should have made it easier.

But my score, and the others in my group made good scores look impossible. My 29 points was the best in the group.

Unfortunately there were no preferred lies on the greens. My long putting was beyond woeful, so while I had a slightly respectable total of 34 putts, there were 6 3-putts in that. Anything outside 20 feet was either 6 feet short or 5 feet past.

[billp]

Finally put together a decent round today. Played the Pacific Back Marker and finished with 34 points 15/19. Plenty of shots left on the course, but it is a tough track from the black markers so I am happy. Should see the cap go back to 12 or so.

[davidw88]

Monthly medal, 75/73 had a bit of trouble in the frost, some greens were still frozen when we played.

[Courty]

Monthly Medal. 82/74. 26 putts, just took too many to get to the greens. :roll:

[BUSHY]

Hungover, tired, stiff from sleeping on a stretcher, worst round of golf in a long time.

100/94

[oldracer]

Got the tractor out Bushy 😜

[BUSHY]

Yep. Played better today, 83/77 with a finish of double, bogey, double in the last 3. [emoji22]

[Micdeez]

35 today. Bunkers were a nightmare though...

[Lagerlover]

35 today. Bunkers were a nightmare though... We should've played 4BBB, then I could've also said I had a 35 Mic.

[JoeS]

Finally got out for a hit around Waterford Valley on Friday.First game in 7 weeks was a bit rusty but more than happy with an 83.
Drove well and got lucky witj a few iron shots.

[wazamac]

Monthly Medal This weekend.

Saturday DQ. Another day of topping, blading and everything bad in general. Seems to be the norm for Saturdays at the moment.
Sunday 87/78. Not a great day but driving got better towards the end when I slowed it down a little. Irons still a little hit and miss.

If this round was in the July monthly medal, it should have been reported in the July monthly thread. Although, to be fair, I don't think anyone should start a new Monthly thread with a DQ.
