Giving playing in the season opener a miss on Sunday the 13th, after a week of golf during Southern Ports am off to play in another tournament. A trip to Adelaide to check out the entertainment at the Fringe festival with my girlfriend and get back into the real world. Was a little flat in the heat on arrival and after a 5 am start did catch a very funny show, “The half naked Chef”. It only went for 20 minutes in the Garden of Unearthly ...

Saturday 5/2/11 The third and final round of the Southern Ports Tournament has been played and I managed to play a credible round finishing with a gross 84, nett 69 and 31 putts at Beachport. The weather was a little better than I expected and again the trip up to play the course the day before paid off.

Finished with an 83 off the stick and 30 putts for the day, second place in the gross and first place in the nett by one stroke respectively. The result yesterday ...

Got myself around the course in a reasonable state at the end of the days play. After sending off all of the groups for the day I finally got to start my round at the end of the field. It was not my expected tee off time nor was doing the starters duties, which did distract me a little. Finishing the day with a gross 93 for a nett 77 with 35 putts was not the planned result going for an 88-90 was the target. Four bad drives added an extra 4 shots to my score. That said the ...
