80 (39/41) at Nudgee South (Par 70) this morning.

drove the ball well, with my missed fairways only a few meters offline.

putted well and had a couple of birdies

**cazandpaul** · 21st February 2005 03:53 PM

33pts off the blues this morning - really disappointed with the way I hit it but the score was OK (and the beer was cold after

).

**Trung** · 22nd February 2005 05:44 PM

Played with an old boss today at MOnavale...

30 (12+18 ) points. 3 wipes on the front 9s to keep him happy... not

**Ona** · 22nd February 2005 06:49 PM

18 holes this arvo with my usual golf partner. my most enjoyable round in a long time, but it was weird.

we normally play match, and it's usually close, but lately it's been with poor scoring. today we both scored beter and there were some great moments. the biotch sank some stinka's and i missed less 4 footers than usual. 1down after the front but ended up trouncing him 1up

Eagle on 13

after he chipped in for bird :P

twas weird because i was scoring well despite hitting almost everything left, nasty draw/hook. went in with the intention to swing easy and smooth and only carrying 9 clubs. couldnt hit it straight to save myelf, but had my lowest score in a while

2 over

missing 4 footers on both 9 and 18 for par

only hit 50% of fairways and greens, but due to the score i'll give the toned down swing another burl next time.

OH. played the two par fives 3 under. but even Trung could reach them in two

.. well maybe :P

My golfing depression is complete.

Today was about the lowest depth of despair I have ever sunk to while on the course. Whats worse, for those following the thread about golf stats, is this round was my first 'official round' for statisticcal purposes. It'll take another 20 games to recover from the statistical spike caused by this effort.

The horrible details:

24 points
Fairways: 4 of 14
GIR: 4 of 18, no birdies
Putts: 34 incl 2 three putts
Putts per GIR: 2.25
Up & Downs: 4 of 11
Penalties: 2.

The stat that should never be kept (and those who suffer shanks should avert their eyes now

) is five shanks, all really bad ones straight off the hosel.

It wasn't just that I couldn't fix it, but my attempts made it worse.

I looked up the cures on the net before logging here, and I'll be trying them all before my next game (friday).

**Trung** · 22nd February 2005 10:36 PM

Doh Jim

. Even I'm feeling sorry for you right now

Better luck next time. I went though a period similar myself. I know how you feel.

**Courty** · 22nd February 2005 10:51 PM

Went out for a quick nine after work today with a mate.
I shot 38 (+1) with a bird & 2 bogies....
Fairways: 4/7
Greens: 6/9
Putts: 16
Up & Downs: 3/4

Much better thanm the weekends efforts.

**Jarro** · 23rd February 2005 01:43 PM

I'm impressed if you are playing this well,see how easy red is compared to blue. The next game could be close.

you will kick me arse. She you on Sat.

**markTHEblake** · 25th February 2005 12:16 AM

had our pennant trials last 3 weeks. won 1up (was 3 down after 10) lost 3/1 (was 4 up after 9) and won 8/6 (personal best albeit unnofficial).

found out today that i made the squad. didnt like my chances with a couple of juniors improving like a house on fire. Anyway i am just happy to get another new shirt, thats 7 years in a row. nobody else in the team is longer than that. I reckon I will go for 10 and retire.

looks like I will be playing no. 7 again, or reserve, either way i will be getting a bat. But now we are in Division 1, I am crapping myself. some of these teams have 2 handicappers that cant get a game. Fortunately for me the ozgolf curse doesnt apply to pennants.

**McMw** · 25th February 2005 02:01 AM

shot a comfortable 36 this evening, with the only real blemish being a 3 putt bogey on the 8th...bad bad bad...

missed a few decent birdie putts here and there, but still trying to find a groove with the oddie belly...

Congrats on making the team =D> 7 years in a row is a good effort

I think its off the stick so those 2 handicaps don't come into it

In my previous post in this thread I described a nightmare round, so bad that the usual cure is a month away from the course to forget the existence or possibility of the dreaded shank.

I was committed to playing today, so I jumped back on the horse that kicked me so hard, my head full of swing thoughts designed not to hit the ball at a 60 degree angle to the right.

My first and more important target was achieved, in that I hit every shot more or less in the required direction during my 33 point score today.

Part of my solution was to not swing at full 100% capacity, which seemed to work. Costs me some distance (which I can't really afford) off the tee, and meant I was hitting an extra club or two into most greens, but I'm still happy.

Driving was good (9 fairways of 14), and iron play was good (10 GIR). Started with 3 one-putt greens in a row, but after I lost the magic Precept U-Tri Tour on our 5th hole I lost the feel of the putter. One birdie, one 3 putt.

Short game started well, but I missed a couple of easy opportunities on the back nine. It's actually nice to be able to complain about my short game again.

Instead of going into temporary retirement, I might have another go over the weekend, weather permitting (thunderstorms are forecast).

**McMw** · 25th February 2005 11:32 PM

shot another 36 today, but boy...it was UGLY...
yesterday, I had the ball under control thruout the 9...today, it was all over the place...

**McMw** · 26th February 2005 03:00 PM

ugly 77 this morning...
finished up square against my 16marker fren (gave him a stroke a hole except par3s) and he was 2 up, 2 to go...so I had a sneaking feeling he played bad the last two...

hit some great drives (the one off the first hole was huge, considering)...

hope everything shows up tomorrow for the MM...

**terryand** · 26th February 2005 03:38 PM

Had my best gross around Windy today with a 74 \

/

Beat the old best by 3 shots

Terry.

**Courty** · 26th February 2005 06:28 PM

Played individual stableford *yawn* again. I had 39 pts off 8 (77) so I will be back off 7 again next week. A very consistent round (sort of). I had 1 birdie, 14 pars and 3 doubles

, including a 4-putt after hitting a green in reg.

Nevertheless, it was good enough to win the money anyhow.

**Trung** · 27th February 2005 12:46 PM

Had 29 points today

.

Comeon Trungie.. Pull your head together

**BrisVegas** · 27th February 2005 12:48 PM

Good shooting Terry and Courty!

Trungy - that's just a hiccup mate. You'll be back, you got too much game !

**terryand** · 27th February 2005 01:03 PM

Man its hard to win a a NTP at windy

On the 5th,playing around 170m,I hit it to 6" and got knocked off

Terry.
