Well another week of golf results.

Played Campbelltown this morning, what a game 40 points with 3 wipes and 9 pars. Played the back nine in 4 over, could have been less but who cares. Was running 3rd when I left the club.
Very happy with my game, ballstriking was supurb, putting could have been better, left a few birdie putts short of the hole, but with greens recovering from coring can't take too much notice. Wipes were due to me trying to play shots that I am not capable of playing. Overall very happy, plus card will go in ;)

I know mate, I know. Yesterday's ones were due to single poor shots, and a very unlucky bunker lie. It plugged in the face of the bunker just below the lip:shock:, took me 2 shots just to get it onto a plaable spot in the bunker. The other 2 were me not taking my medicine for a bad shot and trying the miracle shot, not good course management. Playing Ashlar this morning, lets see if I can play smart.
Had a very weird sensation yesterday on the last hole. I think it may be how good golfers feel when they are in winning situations. I had hit my drive into the middle of the fairway and was looking at a 165m shot to the green with the last 70m all water carry. I had to get the shot right, the hole was also a double bunger for me ;) The shot was a 5 iron in normal conditions, lie was ok, a little downhill. As I addressed the ball, had all these thoughts in my head. Normally I would have played the shot and more than likely swung too hard, hit it fat & the like and saw the ball go straight into the water. I pulled away and started all over, I even changed clubs and got the 4 iron, choked down the grip a little and hit a great shot to the centre of the green, I did not go for the sucker pin either :-D. Too bad I 3 putted but it was still a 5 a 3 to end the round on a high.

Played Ashlar this morning. 33 points. Had one of those days, good ballstriking, not too bad putting and 3 ****ed tee shots that caused 3 wipes. Cored greens again so some putts may have dropped and some didn't, not too worried with putting conditions, it was the same for everyone.
Oh well had a day as a 19 marker yet again but could not hold onto it. Hopefully another good round is not too far away and Ican crack into the teens properly. Will post some stats later.

2 ball mixed ambrose yesterday. Started with a shocker drive - and was downhill from there. My pro was in the group behind and I just knew he was watching so instead of standing over the ball and feeling confident I kept on thinking of him and trying to do the right thing. Too many thoughts = stuff up. Isn't the mind a stupid thing:evil: And how friggin vain am I. That I think my pro is watching me play my shots. Get a grip Reenie - just get a grip:mrgreen: :smt002

I'll go back to the practise range today - hit a few balls without THINKING and get my groove back. Good thing was I didn't really care or get mad with myself. Tomorrow is another day.

BY the way - I think Natalie and I will become really good friends. I love the way she feels in my hands, she's long and cool to touch and when I stroke her properly she does everything I want her to do. Those Yes putters sure are good:smt002

29/09/2006, Pacific GC, Blue Marker Comp

Score 54-55-109 nett 98 (Par 36-36-72)

Let's get this out of the way now, so I don't have to dwell on it too much longer, and I can move on.

Woeful off the tee, mostly right. That's pretty much where most holes ended, so the rest of the game didn't have much of a chance, but when it did, it generally failed.

Positive: Didn't have worse than triple bogey on any hole. Bonus!

Next round: 07/10/2006, Bribie Island GC, Monthly Medal
Yes, I am a sucker for punishment........

Played 10-27 at Keperra, again. Front 9 I was putting for birdie on 10,11,13,14,15,16 and 18 and made none of them. I finally made one on the 19th and my game then turned to sh_t as I celebrated my lone birdie.
Bombed the 26th green with a Wishon 321 2i hybrid, off the whites that's about 230m. Pity it was my 3rd shot as I went OOB at the first attempt.

Great post Bris Westy.great post.:mrgreen:

After Thursday's bad striking day I'm happy to say that yesterday I got back on track. Spent an hour on the practise range just going over the basics. Didn't focus on what I had been doing wrong - Just focused on doing it right.

Played first round Club Singles Matchplay. Had to give 10 shots. Was four up after the 13th and she conceeded. It was starting to rain and she didn't think she could beat me and she's going in for back surgery in the next few weeks and wouldn't have been able to go through to the next round if she had won.

I had a 42 on the front and bogey, par, par, bogey on the back holes we played.

Andy..........what a great score!!!!!!!!! Good luck for your next game:smt002 It happens:smt087

2nd round of club champs at Caboolture.
Had an even 80 (39/41) for a net 66 (par 71). 10 pars, 7 bogeys, 1 double bogey. Broke 40 on the front 9 for the first time ever, including social rounds.
7 fairways, 6 GIR, 31 putts and a chip in for par on the 2nd.
Handicap has gone down from 13.7 to 12.5. (Almost an A-Grader!)
Was runner up in B-Grade for the day when I left, so who knows! I might even be leading B-Grade at the moment (on hcp, not so sure about stroke), guess I'll find out what happens tomorrow in the 3rd round.
Very excited.

Nicely played in a big comp, BW.

If yesterday was the 2nd round and today is the 3rd, when were/are the 1st and 4th rounds? And what did you shoot in the first?

Well done to most.

Last Saturday was the first round. Had a 86/72, and dropped several shots coming back.

Let's just say that today was everything that yesterday wasn't.

A couple of OOBs, a ball that disappeared in the middle of the fairway (therefore needing a reload), several 3 putts, balls laying up against sticks that couldn't be moved without moving the ball etc.

I think I was trying to push things a bit too much, and trying to steer the ball around the course. Had a 98/85, so there's my bad round done for the champs!

On a positive note, I only dropped one shot against handicap over the last 6 holes (so several of the first 12 holes were utter shockers)!

Was running 2nd on stroke and handicap ("was" being the operative word)!

Anything can happen. Only 9 over handicap overall. A decent round next Saturday can get me back in the top 8 and into the matchplay.

Not a bad end to the week (well, technically to start the week). Played individual stableford and had 43 points [gross 74]. Had 21 points [gross 38] on the front nine, and 22 points [gross 36] on the back nine. The round included two birdies and an eagle, and only one three-putt (for a total of 32 putts).

Played in the medal yesterday, well sort of. It was the first time I have carried for 18, so my fitness is getting better. 36 Putts, 2 x 3 putts so 2 x 1 putts. Had a couple of shocking holes that add your score up in a stroke event :( (an 11 and an 8 ). Mind you my nett total was the same as one of the A graders I played with (poor bugga had a real bad day). 108 / 81.

Two rounds this weekend

Brookwater - friday - first ever par round of 72 :mrgreen: (off the Jade tees) - had a chance at a birdie on the 18th for a sub par round - curling 8 footer that never looked like going anywhere near the hole :smt087

Played Nudgee with Gaz today and had 22 points on front nine which got me thinking here we go again only to blow the easy back nine with a dissapointing 15 points - total 37 points round of 78.

It is a pity that all this good form will not be put to good use at the Ozgolf Champs this year as I cannot make them :smt087

BTW I think Gazgolf has found his groove again!!!

Played in a stroke round yesterday afternoon which was a shotgun start :???:.
My first round with the Yes Tiffany in the bag. I struggled for distance control on the longer putts. I guess it's because the head is noticably heavier. A few more rounds and I'm sure it will be fine. Ball-striking went off the boil in the middle of the round and I hit some pretty ordinary shots, but got it back to finish with 82/75, only 3 over handicap. I left at least 3 putts out there so I'm not disappointed with the final result.

Super scoring Jamie. You're really play well lately. Great stuff.

Are you playing Brooky on the 15th ?

76 yesterday (6 bogeys) with 2 missed birdies attempts of no more than 4-5 ft...dissapointing...

one of those rounds where the score was decent given the crappy way I was hitting the ball with my approaches...very dissapointing...

Second game since being soundly thrashed in the Vic Ozgolf final. Last game I played finished a disgraceful 11 down (Par Event) turned 5 down and had 6 down on the back nine.

Played Par again yesterday, in Melbourne the wind was from the North and was probably between 25-30 knots (contributed to some very long drives with the wind at my back.)

Finished 4 down, a marked improvement on 11 down and I was not at all displeased with my game.

I turned 1 down and finished 3 down on the back nine, after finishing with 3 poor outs. With that said I was very happy with the way I hit the ball from tee to green. My putter was cold all day, a clear example of this is that I missed 7 putts from inside 3 feet. That is the reason that I was happy with the game, I hit the ball of the tee as well as I have in I can't remember how long. Most of my irons were crisp and accurate and my short game finally returned.

You know it has returned when you have a 40 metre approach to a par 5, over a bunker with a howling gale at your back and you think how am I gonna stop this. Open stance, 60 degree lob wedge (TM Y cutter retail), over the pot 2 bounces and stop 2.5 feet from the hole, duly converted the birdy as well. How ever where there is wind there is also problems of stopping the ball, 17th hole (8th on front nine), into the teeth of the gale, hit a great drive straight up the guts. Left with about 90-95 mtrs in. Pull the 9 iron and plan to play my custom knock down. Green is 2 tiered with the flag at the top, knock down comes off the clubhead perfect, goes straight at the flag, hits about 5 feet from the pin, bounces once and spins back off the front of the green down the slope from the top tier. Can't win em all.

I think that I am on the improve.

I was only off 15.0 two months ago (when I first received my handicap). I'm now down to 8.3, and hoping to drop a few more strokes before the end of the year. The weather is good, the course is in good condition (we have a new greenskeeper), and there are various events coming up that should be enjoyable. Overall, I could think of no better way to spend my time.
