WDYSTM - February 2020

[Dotty]

Bloody World Handicap System.

Trying to get a 39 and 43 out of my twenty before the Vic Champs.

Replaced a 39 (off 13) with a 38 (off 9), to bog the tractor even deeper.

[Matt 3 Jab]

37 points / 80

A 9 on the last was not ideal for the medal round

Was off a daily handicap of 8

Played to 3, slope played to 2.4.

Not bad for shooting 80 [emoji849]

02/02/2020, Corinda Pitch 'n Putt.

One of the things that pisses me off about being injured, is not being able to do things with the kids. My youngest is into golf at the moment, and I haven't been able to take him out at all over the summer. Today, I took him out for 18 holes at the pitch 'n putt, which also doubled as a bit of an injury test for my shoulder and pelvis.

No play since October, so of course I birdie the first hole. When it is pitch and putt, it is hard to tell how well you are hitting it, but I hit all but one of the greens in the last nine holes. It would have been nice to sink more birdie putts, but I can't complain with even par for the round with two birdies matched with two bogeys.

As for the injuries, the shoulder didn't like it early, but seemed fine for most of the round; let's see how it pulls up. I'm never sure with the pelvis, and it was nowhere near the distance of a full course anyway. Promising though.

Score: 28-26-54; Par 27-27-54.

21 points on the home course hit the ball really well , 39 off the stick putting was shit but thats normal oh for 9 holes
first time I had used these irons as well

[BobsYourUncle]

I had a shocker with the putter on Saturday - 5 (5!) 3-putts on the front 9 for an 86/77. A bit disappointing after breaking 80 fairly consistently lately

[Toolish]

Snap hook city...bogeyed the first 7 to be 11 points at the turn. 16 on the way in for a solid 85 off the stick and 27 points.

Man this game is frustrating!

[okitoki]

first game after coming back from holiday.... felt good during practice on Thursday night... with stroke round on Saturday; driver was working fine, but struggled with my irons; a few doubles and triples did not help on the first 9. putting was ok but was missing out on a few easy putts for pars on the back 9 once I got my irons in control;

had a 96/84 round :(

Stableford today at Maryborough. Course was wet - 70mm overnight is the most rain we have had since June last year. Played off 7 due to playing off the whites.

Not much exciting to report - only hit 2 greens, but saved par on 9 others with some quality up and downs.

17/18 35

34 points off 2. Was a chopfest early.

[Wenz]

First round of the new WHS and I have a day out with 40pts.

Highlight of the day was getting the long drive down 18, then double crossing myself FAR right on the approach landing smack bang on the roof of the proshop and then bouncing off at right angle to finish 2 feet from the hole.

[Toolish]

32 points, including 2 3 putts, 2 other holes with 2 footers missed, and 2 other holes that were wiped.

Overall hit it pretty good and finally feel like my game may be headed in the right direction.

[okitoki]

Saturday was a day that "could have been"... tried the 900tour for a run, and it was hitting really well... had plenty of chances putts from 2M that seems to just stop next to the holes, with 8 holes missed only. ended with 1 birdie, 4 parr, 10 bogies, 1 double and 1 triple; 34 points off 12.

Sunday played the Royal Freo summer cup, shot gun start on hole 15; perfect drive with 60m to hole; hit 60wedge right at the hole only for it to land short and bounced right and ran right into the pond.... which perfectly summed up my day; the strong wind, hard and fast greens made the day pretty hard... ended the day at -9 on a PAR comp :(

just need to get my game consistent from day to day

Did you make the putt? Yep. Was the difference between winning B grade haha.2nd overall on the day, beaten by 43pts from a 27 handicapper.

[BobsYourUncle]

I had a very consistent day on Saturday - 14 5s on my scorecard, but nothing higher than a 5, for an 85 (31 points).

84 off the stick at Thaxted today. Played pretty solid. It was my first round without driver in the bag and scored much better for it.

14/02/2020, Warrnambool GC, Vic Champs

Struggled off the tee on the front nine, then struggled to get it out of the trees, which was a shame, because I seemed to be hitting irons well. The back nine was better. Too many putts for me too, but I was too often too far out to get up and down.

43% fairways, 39% greens, 37 putts

A standard 34 points for me today. 5 of my last 7 rounds have been 33, 34 or 35. Many claim they want more consistency, but this type of consistency maintains your handicap without winning anything, even the end of round lotto tickets.

I hit the ball really well for the most part, but couldn't convert the good approaches into birdies, and had to take my medicine whenever the rough came into play. After lots of recent rain the rough is US Open style, and a guaranteed shot stealer.

[Grumpy8]

35 pts , off 8 , flagged still off 8 , cored greens haven’t been mowed was like putting on a shag pile carpet , surprisingly only one 3 putt .

Bit of a run at Maryborough this week.

Wed - Stableford off a daily of 7.

Rollercoaster round - 5 birdies (PB), 3 pars, and a heap of bogs and doubles. 2 chip ins, and 3 1 putt birds. Otherwise a pretty trash round.

18/19 37pts
4 gir
5 birds
3 pars

Sat - Stableford off 7

This one a bit more steady - no birds, and a tonne of pars. 2 stupid doubles though.

16/17 33pts
6 gir
0 birds
10 pars

[okitoki]

Lost my swing. Duffed the first tee shot pretty much summed up the day.

Finished the day at 29 points

[NewyMitch]

New high points/low score this morning with 42 points that was 75 off the stick (70 par).

Had a cracking start with a birdie, lip out birdie putt and another birdie. Unfortunately that form didn't continue. A 3 putt and two double bogies were the only downers for the round.

This was my first round under the new handicap system and I think my handicap will go back to where it was before the changes.

M1 go well then? I chickened out and left the M3 in the bag..

[okitoki]

Had a practice yesterday with a slight swing change.
Played today in the club summer cup. Still struggle to contact the iron nicely but the putting saved the day. 38 points off 13 hdcp with 2 blown holes.

30pts at Blackwood Sunday
Lost ball after 1st tee shot off the day and another new ball drowned 5 shots later on the 3rd hole it wasn't looking great.
Scrubbed the 18th hole (played back nine first) after a hosel rocket for 12pts. Came home with 18pts and put my name on the NTP on the 8th and made bird.
Hcp gone out another 0.3.
Next 3 are all low flags. Hoping to be on double digits in few more games time.

[Hard_Pan]

Congrats on the win HP.Cheers Hatch.

25 points for me today. With my best putting round in months. Ball striking was the absolute pits. Timing completely off and I couldn't find anything that worked.

15/02/2020, Portland GC, Vic Champs Rd 1

I finally have a chance in front of the PC to write up my Vic Champs weekend scores.

I sorted out my putting issues from the Warrnambool round on the practice green, and had just 28 putts for the round. The driver was a lot tidier than the day before, which gave me more chances of pars, or at least I wasn't having to punch out of trees regularly. I even had a couple of birdies for the day. I won A-grade nett at Portland, and claimed day 1 of the Vic Champs. Not bad, considering the lack of play, and uncooperative body.

64% fairways, 39% greens, 28 putts.
Score (18th start): B BPPPPPBXP PBbPBbBB ; 40-39-79 (+7); Par 36-36-72.

-----------------

16/02/2020, Port Fairy GC, Vic Champs Rd 2

Less than two hours sleep, and maybe still drunk when starting round two. The driver went back to its form from the Friday, rather than the good hitting on Saturday, so it meant a bit of ball chasing off the tee. The worst stretch off the tee was 14-16 where I managed only one point from three shot holes, and even that took a great save; considering that I had just parred the four previous holes, it was a big fall. I played the par 5 18th with a three iron off the tee, because I had completely lost faith in my swing with the woods, but continued to hit irons well; maybe I should have switched earlier. I don't remember hitting a bad putt all day either. Still, a 30 point stableford score is as good as I could have expected heading into the weekend.

Score: PBPPBbBBX PPPPXXXPP; 42-44-86 (+14); Par 36-36-72

Ahhhh [emoji1360]

You’re certainly playing well mate.

[BUSHY]

I had 76 (37pts) with a spattering of birdies, a few bogies (one on the last hurt) and a double.

Considering I was using a demo driver with a shaft that’s no-good for me I am pretty happy.
