[3Puttpete]

Spanner ?

He obviously has trouble with the concept of the thread but there’s no need to call him names.

[Grumpy8]

He obviously has trouble with the concept of the thread but there’s no need to call him names. April had vanished so I started May a day early and I get called a spanner , geez !!!!

[Hatchman]

Maybe you tighten his nuts?

[Grumpy8]

Maybe you tighten his nuts? Must have

[Grumpy8]

Keysborough again today , started ok 18 pts front nine , faded badly over last four holes , only one pt , 10 pts back nine 28 total . First time in a year that I have played on consecutive days so I will blame that .

[Jake peralta]

First round of womens champs today.....i cruised around with the bride but got a hit in at the same time....off the chicks tee.....love it...... 72 so hit to par....i cant believe how much 10 yards makes a difference on some tees.....and for par 5...longest being 500.....makes life a lot easier

I must admit I was waiting for largelover to comment first

[thecollective]

well at least you took it in the right spirit

[Jake peralta]

Yeah mate all good

[Jake peralta]

Well...bride practised again today.....so I had a hit with her of course. Hit a couple shots better than yesterday at 70.....but I did chip in from about 15 yards on a short par 4.....but I'll take it

[Courty]

First round of the Cairns Open today (36 hole stroke).

Carried on from the last few rounds. Slightly suspect ball-striking, but (mostly) kept out of trouble. 77/73 with a double after over-bending one around a tree and into the piss.

[Jake peralta]

First round club champs today, 71 gross....best the course has been for a bit. They guys have put in a good effort so thank you

[3Puttpete]

More birdies than pars

[Grumpy8]

MM with Olinda , 79/71 =36 pts , 1 birdie, no doubles , finished with 3 bogies , 28 putts , happy enough as I used a different ( newer) set of irons for the first time

[Jake peralta]

Nope

[3Puttpete]

Nope

Nope what?

[shazza_rs]

38 points around the Nudge today. Good enough to win the comp.

[benno_r]

38 points around the Nudge today. Good enough to win the comp.Well done Captain!

A slack 33 for me today. At least this week my 3 rounds (Maryborough, Bundaberg, Maryborough) were in the 30s, not the 20s.

[Jake peralta]

Nope what?Not more birdies than par

[3Puttpete]

Not more birdies than par

It wasn’t a question

[Jake peralta]

Sorry bloke...nah mixed day though. Eagles one of the par 5 though....and missed another from about 5 feet

[wazamac]

104/90 shocking day. Felt like an octopus on heat

[BUSHY]

41/45 for 86/79 in first round of the Cairns Open. Good chance to try again tomorrow.

[Dcanto]

Monthly medal at Half Moon Bay. 39 / 44 for 83 net 70. Played to handicap but was a case of what could have been. Unfortunately lost the plot on 17 and 18.

[okitoki]

44 front 9... 2nd 9 my belt popped open and my pants fell off.... lost tempo after... finish off with a 51. 3x 3 putts and 1x 4 putts doesn't help on the back 9.

So 95/89 for the day.

[Sookie1]

First round club champs today, 71 gross....best the course has been for a bit. They guys have put in a good effort so thank you Best gross out there today was a 76 so don't know what happened to your 71

[3Puttpete]

[Jake peralta]

[AndyP]

Social?
Ladies tees?

[Sookie1]

Out where rosey or dunny ?no one hit a 76 I'm aware of Rosewood. Look at their results page.

[Jake peralta]

Rosewood. Look at their results page. Who was that out there Adam?

[BUSHY]

84/77. We were a 3 ball following a group in the “dicking around” category. Solid front nine was just ruined by the slow play on the back.

[JoeS]

Just finished our final round of pennant v East Malvern away.Played in the last group and had a 3&1 win.Had a great final 7 holes going thru in par.Unfortunately the team went down 6-2 and we missed our chance at finals.
For my first season of Pennant I am pretty stoked ,3 wins , 1 half and 2 losses

[Jake peralta]

Wayne use your ****ing logon or just say when it's you, they think I'm you and let me know when phones back.

Yes I me played Crap day. 30 points. Had a 5 on a par 3

Nice job Joe! Pennant is definitely a great game.

[JoeS]

Nice job Joe! Pennant is definitely a great game.Cheers Shazza,learnt real quick that it is still a game that is meant to be fun after my first loss.I took it way to serious for a div 4 contest

[PeteyD]

31 points at Pacific today. Couldnt get off the tee to save myself but scrambled like a bastard. Was great to catch up with DC68 and assorted others.

[BUSHY]

Nice job Joe! Pennant is definitely a great game.

Match play is definitely my favourite way to play golf.

[coalesce]

31 points today. Wheels fell off somewhat after being on 30 after 14 but still not a bad day out

This. The group in front were clueless. 80/76.

[JoeS]

Well done Joe , I thought a 6/2 loss was still going to be enough to get into the finalWe needed a half or rely on Brighton to win.Neither happened and I think we are out

[3Puttpete]

More pars than birdies. It’s a funny game

[Steve57]

More pars than birdies. It’s a funny gameWhat about the other 15 holes?;)

I retained the SBCIM. I’ve probably said enough.

Ok we will leave it at that!

[Grumpy8]

Stableford at Keysborough today , was a tad windy ( would have blown a dog off its chain ) 17/13 , 3 birdies , 2 wipes 3 x 3 putts

[JoeS]

[Grumpy8]

You looking for a new club? Have joined Keysborough on their lifestyle membership, still a member of Olinda and Beaconhills , was a little incident at beacy a few weeks ago , so not playing with them as much , still playing with Olinda on Saturdays when I can .

[JoeS]

Have joined Keysborough on their lifestyle membership, still a member of Olinda and Beaconhills , was a little incident at beacy a few weeks ago , so not playing with them as much , still playing with Olinda on Saturdays when I can .Yeah I think I read somewhere something went on.Nice course,and would play well in winter as well

[Grumpy8]

Yeah I think I read somewhere something went on.Nice course,and would play well in winter as well That’s the other side of it , it’s on the sand belt so winter should be better and I am doing it to test my golf , not many driver wedge type holes

[JoeS]

That’s the other side of it , it’s on the sand belt so winter should be better and I am doing it to test my golf , not many driver wedge type holesI am hearing you.As much as I enjoy the challenge of Beacy,I do like playing longer par 4's.East Malvern and Craigieburn both had a few above 350m to almost 400m.I like being challenged with a longer second shot.

[Grumpy8]

Lots of bunkers too , I was in that many today cause it was windy I thought I was having a day at the beach , when u get to my age you might not want as many long par 4’s

[PeteyD]

33 Points. Missed 3 easy putts early. 2 Snappy hooks off the tee. Otherwise improving contact and direction.

[Jake peralta]

33 points for me as well......the wind was a bitch

[wazamac]

26

[BUSHY]

Hmm. Firstly I haven’t started a round with Jaegermeisters in a Long time.

Shook my head on the 1st tee mostly because I couldn’t see the ball, pounded drive right up the middle to ~115m out, half flipped a shank to the right edge for a double.

Overall had 5 Jaegers, 7 Heineken, 1 Bundy to finish 15/18-33 points.

Back 9 was sporadic and consisted of 2x4pointers including a 4 footer on the last for PBW that won the $$$$.

[blurry]

39 points yesterday at Penrith (par 72), off 7 in a heavy wind , happy with that

[Grumpy8]

30 pts at Keysborough today , 16/14 , 3 wipes , 2 x 3 putts . 1 birdie

[Bigbad]

Shot +3 at Pacific Harbour at Bribie Island yesterday, was really happy with how I hit it. Was fairly windy but played a lot of nice controlled knock down irons when required. Course was in great condition, really enjoyed playing there. Will be back for sure.

[WBennett]

34 points Saturday, 3 birdies, 2 wipes, 12th overall.
35 points yesterday, 1 birdie, 1 wipe, 6th overall.

After slumping to 6.8 at Vic Champs, back down to 6.3 and feeling like I am playing slightly better. Gone back to my Ping driver rather than the F6+ with XS shaft I have been using.

The cooler weather has slowed the course down and its playing long. 38 points will probably win your grade.

[Grumpy8]

Keysborough stableford today 19/14 , hit the ball better today , wiped the easiest hole , one 3 putt ,no birdies, left a few putts in the jaws , fairly happy with the score .

[SundayHack]

79/69. 4 KaKaaa’s, 4 3ppetes and 3 doubles. The good was very good, the bad was ugly.

[Grumpy8]

Stableford with Olinda on Beaconhills lakes course , 18/16 playing off 9 , one wipe no 3 putts , no birdies , plenty of crappy chip shots

[BUSHY]

Game of Par

Went out solid. Came home like a busted ar$e.

2 birdies in 32 points for -5.

[WBennett]

Last group out today. The back 9 took 2.45 and I finished in the dark

Golf sucks sometimes

[Muscles]

The back 9 took 2.45 and I finished in the dark



Yikes. That's woeful. I've played in Wednesday comps in that time....

Back to earth yesterday in the monthly medal. Shot 77 for 74. Very windy however and just couldnt make a putt.

The internet has been down at our club since last week's storms and my last 3 rounds haven't gone into golflink. I'm onto the captain to make sure it happens however as 2 of those rounds were a 72 and a 70.

[okitoki]

Men.... yesterday was not meant to play golf... lack of sleep and feeling like crap.

Could not score, can hit all my shots well but my alignment was completely off. Putting was terrible, with my distance controll being good but anything around the 3 feet circle i kept pushing my putts. 3 putted too many holes to count.
Only played 23 points for the day. Pretty disappointed...

[Grumpy8]

Stab at Keysborough, 17/19 , one 3 putt , no birdies, two wipes ( shortest and longest par 3’s ) . Played 5 x par5’s 3 better than cap , 9 x par4’s 2 better than cap , 4 par3’s 5 worse than cap . Couldn’t buy a birdie putt , sunk nothing over 4’ until the 16 th when I sank a 8’ eagle putt ( driver + 4 hybrid downwind) first time making cap at Keysborough in 6 rounds .

[Grumpy8]

Stableford at Keysborough today , 18/17 ,no wipes , one 3 putt, 2 birdies, one of which was the 16 th , so eagle yesterday and birdie today ,happy with the score considering it was a bit wet

[okitoki]

Well... another crappy day of golf on Saturday...
Started the day with 3 pars, then the heavy rain and wind came along and wiped everyone off the field... just ended up punching my 3 irons to go against the wind every shot...

Ended the day with another quality score of 25

[Muscles]

Just back from a weekend up at Barnbougle dunes. Shot 5over at lost farm which I was ok with

Next day at the superb BD course I was cruising after 7 holes at even par before the monster 8th have me a double bogey. Out in 37 and feeling good... back 9 was a different story and showed how easy it can be to drop shots. 44 home for an 81. Dissapointing but I will be back. What an amazing golf course.

[Grumpy8]

Par comp at Keysborough 0/-5 , lost the plot on the back nine with chipping and putting .

[Grumpy8]

Stableford at Keysborough today , 18/14 a 3 putt and two wipes , birdie on 10 , hitting the ball fairly well but pretty ordinary on and around the greens .

[Grumpy8]

Stableford again today , at Beaconhills this time , 20/18 , off 8 , bogey bogey birdie birdie start , no doubles therefore no wipes , one 3 putt and only 24 putts in total , think I only had 4 gir, but was on or around the fringe a fair bit .

[Grumpy8]

Stats for may , 11 comps rounds , ave score 33 pts, handicap started 7.7 ended 7.8

[Courty]

I've just returned from an overseas trip encompassing Germany, Norway, Scotland, Iceland, Italy and a smidge of Switzerland. While in Scotland I played one round at the highly-rated Royal Dornoch. I can't report on a final number as I gave up keeping score only a few holes in due to poor visibility from heavy fog which resulted in tons of lost balls (I reckon our foursome would have gone through around 20 for the front nine). On the back nine the fog lifted enough to at least see where the ball went so I started scoring again and made 38 (+3) with one birdie on the 15th. Some pics below:
