Well done Ian.

[okitoki]

Played Saturday Club Cup final, after missing the 2nd round, I thought I just get some practice... played 94/74...
then played on Sunday Stableford with a score of 32 points.... after scoring 12 points on the first 5 holes, I went and proceed to blow 3 holes in a row... to finish 14 on first 9 and 18 on back.

On the bright side, I manage to bring my handicap below 20 :)

Had a chipping practice, and was working on the 20M chip with the AW... turned out very helpful during the weekend... I think I found nearly all the bunkers on Sunday, but was glade the sand were fluffier now it is drier... managed to look semi competent out of the bunkers to 1 or 2 putts.

wasn't happy with my iron game on Sunday, and went to driving range, hit 100 balls, found my groove, and went back out and played another 18 holes by myself.... paying the price right now... no longer that young anymore...

Back to my abysmal best today with a massive 20 points.

Not looking forward to the Berri Open in two weeks.

[KyB]

Horrid beginning at a new club I've just joined.

Stableford: 13 points on Front 9, 15 points in the back for 28 points all up. Greens a lot quicker so I managed to 3 putt many of the holes sadly. Wasn't too bad off until the 8th hole and fell apart from there.

Whats even more frustrating lately is my 3 rounds before this have all gone as follows: (All Stablefords)

1. 10 points on Front 9, 21 points on the Back 9.
2. 13 points on Front 9, 21 points on the Back 9.
3. 13 points on Front 9, 23 points on the Back 9.

I just seem to be throwing my rounds away early. If only I could sneak on at 6am and play 9 before I start!!! Oh well! Back next week.

[Lagerlover]

Is it a certain couple of holes giving you grief?

[KyB]

Honestly, no. Although one hole I don’t get a shot on is giving me a bit of grief. I think it’s just taking me a while to get into my round. The 1 and 2 I mentioned were at my last course. 3 and last round are at my new club.

[tadpole]

Sandstone Open day yesterday, 27 holes stableford. Came in with a 23, 17 and a 16 on each 9. First 18 holes didn't wipe a hole and finished with a 92 off the stick for a stroke nett of 66. Finished the day as nett runner up, 3 pts behind the winner. Won the longest drive thanks to a handy gust of wind while teeing off with my 1 iron. So all in all was a pretty good day. Didn't pull the driver out of the bag till the second last hole, just focused on hitting the fairways using my 1 and 3 irons. Bought myself a Cleveland smart sole chipper last week and yesterdays trial proved it to be a handy addition to the bag for out here on the desert courses for approaches 100m or less

[jimandr]

I think I will do a 3puttpete style report of my 5 games in 5 days at the Qld Champs.

35 Points today. Awful 14 on the front after a chip in birdie on the first. Walked into a low branch on a tree on 9, must have knocked some sense into me. 21 Points coming home. Finally played a solid 9. Hopefully playing a solid 18 is not far away.

Last week, I had 5 rounds at the Qld OZgolf Championships. With a handicap of six, and not really playing golf anymore, I was just going to the event to enjoy myself, and I well and truly succeeded in that. Golf is so much better without expectations, and although this is something I tried to do when I was playing, it was so much easier for this weekend. I didn't lose my cool at any stage during the 5 rounds, despite some horrible hitting at times, with the exception of HMB 17, which is a stupid hole that made me try for a shot outside my capabilities. I didn't play great, and I definitely didn't score well, but I played plenty of good golf shots, and had fun. Here are my scores:

7/9, Gordonvale - 24 points
8/9, Cairns - 29 points
9/9, Palmer Sea Reef - 27 points
10/9, Paradise Palms - 25 points
11/9, Half Moon Bay - 29 points
Average - 26.8 points off 6 or 7.

Usually when you don't play for a while, the parts of the game that require feel fall away, but for me that doesn't seem to be the case. I was able to putt pretty well all weekend, including a mighty victory in the putting comp. I was also surprisingly decent inside 100m with partial swings, however I tried to putt from green edges, to avoid greenside chipping which felt a bit foreign.

The part of my game that was disappointing, besides the rustiness and expected inconsistency, was my driver. I just couldn't get any control over it all weekend. If I did hit a straight one with it, you could guarantee that it was going elsewhere on the next one. It would have made things easier if I could at least have a consistent miss with it, but it was heading both left and right, with the occasional straighty in the mix. Once I put the driver away for the second half of the last round, and went with the three wood, which isn't a big distance sacrifice, I actually started to score and came home with 12 points in my last 5 holes. If only I had have done that earlier.

5 rounds, 3 of them in comps and my handicap hasn't moved a bit, because no flags dropped off. Although I enjoyed playing, I still won't be playing golf again on a regular basis, but I would like to schedule in the occasional round. I have an idea that I am playing with for an OZgolf event for that, and I'll try to post something on that soon.

[wazamac]

Thaxted today with Nadj.

27 points and quite an enjoyable morning. Still one more hole to open on the new front nine but the course is looking 100% on what it used to be.

[chappy1970]

First game in 6 weeks and it was bloody Par and the geeens were cored. PAR gives me the $hits.

Turned 3 down and had a putt on the last to finish square. Missed it from 3 foot [emoji83].

1 down, was an acceptable come back

[Steve57]

Nice result Steve.
Thanks Dave

Nearly exactly my game on Monday. Too many fluffed chips and a million putts.

Played yesterday in Par comp, finished up all square. Missing easy short putts is letting me down.

[Grumpy8]

Thursday comp at Beaconhills, 26 pts , driver was ok , irons were crap , putting was 💩💩, took a different putter out today sank a nice birdie on 2 and again on 15 but managed two four putts and several three putts in between. Not sure it was a good idea trying a different putter

I can echo Grumpy"s sentiments. Not sure it was a good idea trying a different putter.

29 degrees and not a breath of wind. Shocking conditions.
29 points.
Estimated 30 degrees tomorrow with 40 kph winds.

[jimandr]

First home game for a little while after struggling on unfamiliar courses at the Qld Champs. It is supposed to be easier at home, I thought.

After a number of 30 point scores away, I tore up Ballina for a ripper score of 31 points. What is worse about that score is that I didn't miss a fairway off the tee, and holed two bombs for unexpected birdies.

But my approach game just wasn't working, and I kept getting the chips to within 10 feet and missing the putt.

Oh well, there is always next game, and fortunately I'll have an extra shot, with a low flag finally dropping off.

[okitoki]

Surprisingly easier to play with a shorter course. But pity was windy and wet day... Hit 89....

I am officially in a slump. 29 points at Ballina today, and I'm relatively happy with that. Partly because I can blame some terrible putting.

After a poor 4th hole and a shot from the 5th tee that will be described in another thread, it looked like being a really bad day. On the back my ball striking came good but I missed 5 footer after 5 footer after 5 footer. I'm tempted to buy a new driver as a remedy.
