Single stab at Cairns GC this morning. Conditions are still Preferred lies/ GUR bunkers, but there's been a massive improvement in the last few days.

I started really well, turning with 21pts (+1), but the wheels came off midway through the second nine and I limped home with 15pts for 36 total. Oh, what could have been :roll:

[henno]

First game in a few weeks yesterday. Single stab, started with a regulation 2-putt par, then went wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe to be standing on the 6th tee with two points on the card. Proceeded to play the next 9 holes one over par, including a seven hole stretch of one-under off the stick. Finished bogey, bogey, wipe, double, for 32 points.

I also drank nine beers. Clearly that 3-6 beer range is my sweet spot. Because science.

37 points around Kialla this morning.
No bunkers on course
All water hazards dry

Just a track but finally felt like i was swinging properly again

Now my goal will be to repeat it and go under par .

[jimandr]

First game of the new golfing year for me. I really hope that every other game I play is better than this one.

That target shouldn't be difficult to achieve. I only got 25 points today, despite actually hitting the ball quite well.

The greens had been lightly sanded, so were even slower than they have been. This meant any putt from outside 30 feet were an automatic 3 putt. I lost two golf balls, both on shot holes, for two wipes. Both times I refused to do a walk of shame just to try to salvage a point.

To ease all that pain I won a NTP. A massive $10 prize doesn't cover the comp fee, but I still enjoyed my only 3 pointer of the day.

[Minor_Threat]

Medal at Tanilba, shot 75 (+3). Had a shocking putting day and one of my best ever ball striking days.

Had 10 birdie putts within 10ft and holed only one of them, also had 1 x 4 putt and 1 x 3 putt. The greens were a bit bumpy, but still bloody frustrating.

[Courty]

Monthly Medal this morning. The course has dried out immensely in a few short days, so there were no preferred lies or GUR bunkers.

I had a pretty good round without being great. I felt like I putted well but hardly made anything. I had lots of birdie opportunities but only made one.

74/68. 14 pars, 3 bogies, 1 birdie.

Monthly medal with Olinda GC.80/70 for 37 points.good enough for second and first in A grade.Putting again was the let down

Monthly medal with Olinda , 78/71 , couple birdies, 28 putts with a 3 putt double bogey and another couple of missed short putts , so wasn’t putting for a lot of birdies, did knock one to 2 metres on the magpie hole and sunk the putt , never really felt I was in it today , did hit some good drives today tho . Is funny a year ago I would have been happy with a 78 now it seems very ordinary.

[shazza_rs]

38 points round Nudgee today.

2 birds
0 wipes (made two good sand saves to avoid them)

Beat Pete in our side bet matchplay.

Got to use the knee drop rule.

[okitoki]

Good start to the year... 46 on the first 9, 39 on the back for the 85 off 16hdcp.

GIR is not so good but chipping helped alot today.

Happy with the start to the new year

Stableford today at beaconhills, 17 pts front nine mainly thanks to my putting ,then wiped 10 (lost ball) and 11, pulled it back a bit to finish with 15 pts for a total of 32 pts . One birdie and no three putts the rest was crap

[Minor_Threat]

First under par comp game since my comeback, played at Newcastle today for 38 pts (-2). Missed 3 fairways and 2 greens, had 1 x 3 putt.

Think I might have finally sorted my Driver out 👍

[Ferrins]

Nice round!

[Minor_Threat]

Thanks mate

[Grumpy8]

Stableford at beaconhills today , off 6 , 39 pts (3 over) an eagle and two birdies, started with two bogeys then eagled 3 , finished with three bogeys on 16 17 18 , missed putts on 7 9 14 15 16 and 17 all in the 4 to 10 ft range , did get 10 and 11 in that range , three putted 18 . There was a 45 pt score in ,1 under off 8 , so I would have needed to sink all of them .

12/01/2019, Corinda Public GC, Social 9 Holes.

This was my first round since the Brookwater round at the Qld OZgolf Champs, which was four months ago. Although, I did go to a driving range last week and hit over 30 balls to see how the injury held up. It failed the fitness test, but I need to get out and do something. The nine holes walking today left me aching a bit, but nothing too bad, as long as it isn't making things worse.

As for the golf, I got away with missing greens early, because for some reason I had good touch with the wedge and putter, and got up and down a few times. I was missing the greens because I played only half a set, and kept finding myself at a distance just beyond a club range, and had to find a way to drop the distance with other clubs by nearly two clubs. I wasn't overly successful with this. It wasn't a great ball striking day, but it isn't a punishing or long course, so I didn't get into too much trouble.

2/4 fairways, 3/9 greens, 15 putts.

4 ball Stableford today. My partner and I had 43.

1 x birdie

[Dcanto]

Single stableford at Half Moon Bay. 34 points which is disappointing given I had two birdies. Two wipes offset the good work and a couple of three putts undid what could have been a solid round.

[Minor_Threat]

37pts (-1) at Tanilba Bay GC today.

Should have been better as I was -3 at the turn, happy with the score though, it is the first time under par in comp for me here.

Played WA Golf Club Summer cup on Sunday; first time ever, looked like a pretty course when I went for lessons and Trackman sessions....
Wasn't disappointed... top notch condition, a few of their greens were rebuild recently, so they were not disappointing... Club house was great because it had GUINNESS on tap !YAY!

Golf wise, it was so so for me... A PAR game shot gun start on the 9th hole, by the time I got to the 16th, I was 2 up; by the time I got to the 18th, I was 1 down.... ended the day at 4 down... was pretty windy day too;
Apparently the score for the day was pretty average too, with -4 seems like the average, and the winners were at +4,+2 and even.

Unfortunately, right ankle and left lower back is pretty stuffed this morning...

[Grumpy8]

Stableford/ 4bbb at beaconhills today out before the heat supposedly, 21/25 with a one pointer in the back nine , course was set up easy so expect 50 pts to win . Singles had 18/20 , two birdies , drove it badly until 14 th but scrambled well , no 3 putts no wipes

Yes I am a member.

It’s a golf course.
Why would they not welcome visitors? Goose or not.

If you have a GA and some dollars you can play in any comps they have spots available.

Thursday comp at beaconhills was a stroke round playing off 6 , double bogied the first from middle of fairway, bogied 16 n 17 parred 18 to shoot 74/68 3 over , 39 pts , two birdies , no wipes , technically no 3 putts , 25 putts only 10 on the back nine .

[Courty]

Par comp this morning in typical FNQ summer conditions... raining, heavy track, preferred lies, bunkers GUR.

I finished with 76 (+1), which is a solid score in itself, but given I was +3 with 3 to play it was a disappointing way to end.

3 rounds this week:
Wed - Par at Maroochy River with Bushy. Nothing amazing here, a couple of pluses amongst 7 minuses. Drove pretty well, made a few errors from centre fairway. -5 overall

Fri - Stab at Maryborough. Started well, +1 off the stick through 5. From there the wheels fell off, wiped 6, 1 pointer on 8, and wiped 9 for 15pts. Started back 9 well, +1 off the stick after 4, again the wheels fell off for 17 points. 15/17 32.

Sat - Stab at Bundaberg. As per Wednesday, started well, then wiped 6,7 with poor shots from centre of the fairway. Turned with 14. Then played steady steady through the back 9, and wiped 18 - once again from the center of the fairway.

Been working on the wide open clubface at the top of the swing, and when i get it right I hit it as good as I ever have. When I get it wrong it's block/fade central (and the cause of most of my centre fairway wipes). Having said that my driving is the best it has been in 2 years, so nice to have that back.

[Grumpy8]

Stroke mm and match play qualifying with Olinda , 81/75 1 x birdie, 3 x doubles 1 x 3 putt , 28 putts ( shows how crap I played ) . Had an air swing . Sneaked into the bottom of the draw , only have to my first opponent 16 shots

These are my last two competition rounds at Northern down here in Melbourne. I finally feel like I've turned a corner with my game after struggling for the last 4 or 5 months. Granted I haven't been playing anywhere near as much given I've just moved down and wasn't settled anywhere, but it's nice to feel like I'm hitting the ball well again. Still plenty to improve on, but it's a good start.

hot day yesterday....
my phone alarm announced it was 26C at 5am, so I sort of guess it was going to be a long day.
Lucky i managed to book a buggy for the Melville Glades summer cup.... i pitty the walkers cause it was just brain boiling hot....

My downfall for the day was the putting.... green seems faster than I am used to, so wasn't attacking the hole directly, which lead to a lot of last minute off cup turn misses.... yeah, so not feeling it....
driving was pretty good with missing the FW only on the first 2 holes. Irons were sort of ok...

shot gun start at 730 and didnt finish till 1230; so cracked open after 9 holes.... heat, dehydration and lack of food plus beer = zero care factor after that... it was a slow hot day....

Finished the day at 29 points.

A lady did get 50 points on the day with 77 gross and a near Hole in one after hitting the flag... she had a good day :D

[Grumpy8]

34 pts this morning at beaconhills. Doubled the first again from middle of fairway ( 3 putt ) only 2 pts after 2 , 18 pts for the nine , wiped 10 th (3 putt ) only 1 pt after 2 . 16 for the nine . Cold topped my drive on 17 barely got it off the tee bed downhill run got me a few metres more , belted a 3 wood with zero care factor, around dogleg and onto fringe , 2 putts par , 4 for 3

[JoeS]

Olinda this morning.Not sure what I was doing,but the bubble has certainly burst after 9 good rounds.26 points with a care factor of zip.I had no feel for the club,couldn't see a shot shape in my pre shot routine,my wedge play from inside 100m was woeful.I thinned 3 times over the green from inside 80m.
1x birdie
4x wipes
2 x lost balls,both in play and in areas that they shouldn't get lost which cost me 2 wipes

Stab today at beaconhills, 18/16 , finally worked out how to par the first , skied drive , 5 hybrid just short , chunked chip ,sink 10 ft putt , birdie on 3 and 18 th , one 3 putt , three doubles one wipe , chipping was the best it’s been in months except for the first ,0nly 27 putts which shows how crap the rest was

A totally honest 36 points for me today.

It was an opportunity lost though. I hit a number of great shots early and kept missing the 10 footers for birdie. Then had a putting purple patch and holed three good ones in a row, only to give it all back over the last four holes.

My three one-pointers in the last four has me a bit worried about being labelled with an illegitimate score. It's my best score for many months, so I hope Ferret's committee didn't have a spy checking up on me.

[Courty]

It's been absolutely flogging rain here for the past few days. 178mm at the club yesterday, another 100mm so far today and no sign of letting up for at least a few days. Some of the BOM modelling has forecast up to a metre of rain over the long weekend.

But still, Bushy & I got a round in this morning. :D

Sadly the Australia Day shotgun start comp was cancelled (more like boycotted), so we did our own thing. I went on to shoot 78/72 (36pts) and win our head-to-head match.

I'm a February baby so must have been born in these conditions. Today was my 5th round for the year (all in 'moist' conditions) and I am yet to shoot worse than 79.

I vote for more public holidays on Mondays, because it means the Ballina Monday Vets Comp becomes an open comp, the tee times are extended, and I get to have a Monday game.

My 34 points was nothing special, but I hit some good shots and enjoyed my day on the course.

A rarity for me was hitting all the par 3 holes in reg, but on 3 of the 4 I was at least 60 feet away. No NTP's for me, I'm afraid.

[Grumpy8]

Usual Tuesday stableford at beaconhills, 16/19 , 1 birdie, no wipes , got the drives working a bit better , one 3 putt , putting and chipping was a bit average / poor , hit a lot of iron shots fat .still broke 80 so not all bad

[Grumpy8]

Thursday comp at beaconhills, first round of grand masters (60+) mid week champs, stroke 75 (37,38 ) nett 69 3 birds no wipes no 3 putts one double ( tangled with some trees) . Struck the ball pretty well only one bad drive on 16 th which led to the double ( was only one over till then ) 3 or 4 lazy bogeys , 29 putts ( hit more greens ). Not impressed with the doubleb , bogey, par finish .

[JoeS]

First round of knockout today.Had to give up 10 shots and was up 5 thanks to my opposition playing poorly
Then he found his rhythm and started pulling a few shots back.He got it back to 1 with 5 to play but I managed to pick up a hole on a par 3 where he had a shot.Lost 16 after opponent putted in for par from off the green and my birdie half putt missed by 1/2 a ball.Won 17 after a mammoth drive and gap wedge onto green while opponent finally got on for 4 and conceded.I got the win 2&1.
Next week I give up 12 shots I think
Considering I hit 78 OTS and was 2 under handicap I thought it was a great result

Although it’s 2/2/19 will post in here as well , same match play as joe , very different result , giving 16 shots I knew day was over after my first shot which was hit well but bounced opposite to the slope . Opponent halved me with a par then had 15 consecutive holes with a shot . Cracked it on the second, could have claimed the hole over advise / coaching from one of the other match play guys , we go out in 2 x2 matches/pairs , but then you cop the sheep stations a /hole a graders etc , even tho he won the whole because of it . Lived up to my reputation for the rest of the nine , was 3 down , hit a 260/70 mtr drive down 10 into a divot , had 6 inch par putt opponent refused to give it , he rolled an eight footer for par and a win , conceded match on 11 th tee went home .
