Played a social game yesterday in perfect weather. The girl I played is off the same handicap as me and we play a very similar game. Was a good battle. In the end my putting won the day and I won 4/3.
Even though we played matchplay we played out each hole.

42 + 44 =86. (par 37 + 34 = 71)

Nothing brillant and good honest golf.:smt023

Played my last game at Macarthur Grange as a member this morning. Should have stayed in bed, it was tough in the rain.

31 points
93 Gross
3 Fairways
4 Greens in regulation
1/11 up & downs
0/1 Sand saves
34 putts

Course is really starting to improve, not too bad at all. Fairways are getting grass on them, greens are back to what they were like 3-4 years ago, very very good. Pity the managment is not improving.

Will go back occassionally to have a hit as a visitor and hopefully collect the visitors prize each time.

Our course had a two man ambrose today which are always good for a bit of fun. Partnered with a guy with a 11 hcap so bought us down to 4.5. Managed to scramble a 4under par and then with handicap we shot a nett 62.5 Look forward to a normal stroke next round i beleive is monthly medal.

Played at Albury Commercial, despite the steady rain.... we made it through 10, but the comp was called. Greens got saturated, and there was no sign of it letting up. I was playing OK, given the conditions, including a nice birdie on 3 (index 1), and a string of tidy pars.

Yesterday was a single stableford in oppressive heat (4th day in a row of 34º+ with 70%+ humidity). Couple that with the fact I was still cramping up from 2 games of indoor cricket on Thursday night, and it was a recipe for disaster. Just as I figured, my first 9 was a disaster, recording only 10pts. Expecting more of the same, I lobbed up to the second 9 prepared for the worse. On the tee I cleared my head of all the rubbish I had been trying to do to hold my swing together and held one clear thought. What happened next was completely unexpected. I started making crisp contact and hitting everything flush & straight. Although I finished the 9 with 20pts (+2), it damn well should have been better. I made two birdies, but I left an eagle attempt two inches short, and missed another birdie putt from 130cms. The difference is stats between the 9s is like night & day. I missed everything on the first 9, and hit (almost) everything on the second 9. 1 loose tee shot & a few dodgy putts are all that prevented me from going sub-par on the second 9.

Played with the boys at nudgee today. Thanks for the round Eag's, jarro and just. Like Eag's said we combined for a 62. Leading score in when we left was 57...

I had 89/74
FW 9/14 (all my misses were about 1-2 metres into the rough with a clear shot)
GIR 4/18 (2 x par 3's and a par 5)
U/D 5/14
Putts 29

Felt like i played alright today. I didn't get into too much trouble. Driver was in the fairway / close enough for the whole day... just noticing the lack of distance at the moment with no chance of going for most par 4's in two. Relying on my short game. Okay strategy when the short game is on song... which is was today. Missed a few short putts today and had two balls in a hazard so score should of been better.

26 putts, 28 putts, 29 putts - must be easier to putt in Queensland.;) Well done guys. That's what I need.

Kinda something game today. Short game was pathetic! Barely an up and down. They'd moved me up some groups and I didn't even hit the practice green today. Started 4 putt/3putt for the first 2 holes with another 3 putt shortly after. Missed some makeable birdie putts today, especially the 4 footer on the 2nd. 38 putts for the round. Only made one of 9 up and downs, and several were from just off the green.

While I only hit 3 fairways today, at least some of my misses were 'effective'. That one shot that makes you come back for more punishment was my drive on the first. Got it to 20mtrs from the green, then managed to just barely pitch it onto the green with the pin far on the other side.

Reenie...are you like those typical doofussy old ladies that aim a putt directly at the hole that obviously breaks about 3 feet and are amazed when it swings away down the hill ?

No - I read putts pretty good. I just miss them a lot. And that's the last time I make a nice comment about your game.:evil:;)
And Goughy sucks more than me. Is he a doofus old lady too???

I played terrible on Saturday, I got a 88 net:oops::oops:.

I redeemed myself a little bit yesterday and scored 36 stableford points.

20/01/2008, Brookwater GC Gold, Social Round.

10/14 effective tee-shots.
3/18 effective approaches.
4/8 up and down successes.
33 putts.
------------
1 birdie.
2 pars.
9 bogeys.
6 others.
Score 45-49-94 nett 84. (Par 36-36-72 ACR 73)

I guess I shouldn't have expected much for my first game of the year, but it was still disappointing. I just can't hit a target with my approaches, and the putter got off to a shocking start.

Highlights included hitting every fairway with the driver on the front nine, especially the one straight down the guts of the first for the second game in a row. As well, as the birdie on 14.

Next round: Nambour on Sunday, I think.

Maybe you should give some new irons a run, maybe try some pings ;) ;)

Were you hitting your irons to the right?

A nice add on to my nice drive down the first is that my ntp on the 2nd held. I should get at least 2 balls for that ;)

I recently played at Waterford Valley, a victorian course.
i've played there a few times now but everytime it's still a challenge.
i had a 2 over 74, not very good i was hitting it everywhere and couldn't make a putt.
Typical when i'm not playing well.

Question, has anyone else played the course?

Eag's
23rd January 2008, 09:15 AM
2 over 74 and you are not happy?? what is your Hcp buy the way Shaneo?

Shaneo
23rd January 2008, 09:46 AM
I'm playing off 1 at the moment, no sorry 2, 1.5 to be exact

by the way, how do you get the link on your message box like you have?

Followed up the crappy 30 at Virginia yesterday with a not so crappy 32 at Reddy in a howling gale today. round included 2 birdies and 3 pars, but my birdie double birdie double finish was indicative of my lack of consistancy. 29 putts. only 4 fairways, although I sorted the driver out towards the end of the day. Didn;t like the Pings that much so the Macgregors will be back in the bag.

23rd January 2008, 11:22 PM
It's not the Pings! That's what ap thought, till he sold them and found he hit is ravens to the right as well ;)

AndyP
24th January 2008, 05:57 AM
Actually goughy, I hit the Ravens fine in my round before Brookwater.

It was the Pings!

PeteyD
24th January 2008, 08:19 AM
It is the Pings! ;)

don't suppose you ever considered getting fit for the pings? The lie angle was probably too flat for you.

AndyP
24th January 2008, 09:41 AM
Yeah, Petey, did you?

PeteyD
24th January 2008, 09:47 AM
Maybe I should, and you are most likely correct. Maybe I should take both sets in to get fitted. Where are CGI now, I noticed the signs are gone from the old building.

38 (21/17).

Started with a flurry of 1's and 3's. Couldn't buy a 3 pointer on the back. Had a disappointing back 9 and couldn't buy a 3-pointer until the 18th. 30-odd putts but the short game could have got me a little closer to the hole, but happy with a wipe-less 38.

Shaneo
26th January 2008, 05:35 PM
played like a bastard, couldn't hit a fairway and couldn't make a single bloody putt.
that is my life story.
started with a 19 point front 9 with 1 bogey and 2 birdies.
started the back with a bogey but followed it up with an eagle 2 and the next, thanks for the 4 points, then all down hill from there.
ended up with having a crappy back 9 of 17 points.
end result 36 points which was a one over 71

36pts (combined) in a 4BBB stableford :roll: My partner & I timed our form very poorly. If one of us played well on a hole, we both did. But if one of us screwed it up, we both did. :???: No stats for this round as I didn't complete a few holes.
