Week commencing 6th March

[Grunt]

Well you all have left it to me to start this thread

Played Liverpool with Matt, Geoff & Trung. Shot 31 points in a very up & down day with 2x 4 point holes, 3x 3 point holes & 5 wipes. Very shaky start with myself swinging the club way too fast. It took almost 10 holes to get my rythym right but it was good with some great ballstriking giving me good results.

See how I go in the morning @ mac Grange with Andrew.

Busy week of golf. $ ball ambrose last Friday at Kingston Links - Corporate Day. Won nothing - not even the raffle!!! Played pretty crap.

Sunday....social game at Rosebud Country Club. Only played nine and had a very nice 46. Nothing great but honest golf.

Tuesday 4BBB at Sandhurst - course is only 18 months old. Should be ok given time. Gave me the pips though cos nothing would stay on the green. Land a lovely pitch on the front of the green and the ball would shoot off over the back. Not good. We could only manage a lousy 35 points.

Wed 4BBB at Portsea. Perfect golf weather and played ok. My partner and I teamed up well. When I played crap she made the shots and vicky versa. We had 45 points and were third behind two Portsea teams - the good old home course advantage.

Tomorrow playing in a Salver at Devil Bend. Phew....I was glad to come to work today to have a rest.

Had a couple of 9 hole rounds before work yesterday and today.

Shot 43 (7 over) yesterday on the front 9 at Caboolture - 2 girs, 4 fairways, 16 putts. Spoiled by a double bogey coming out of a bunker on the 8th, made up for by coming out of a bunker for a tap in on the 9th.

shot 39 (4 over) this morning on the back 9 at Caboolture including a lost ball. Started off scrappy, but finished par, par, par, par, birdie. 3 girs, 2 fairways, 13 putts. Very happy with the finish.

Stroke round yesterday

83 Gross, 74 Nett 33 putts

Used up my handicap on the front nine and shot a handy 38 (2 over on the back nine) to partially recover.

Played Monday through Thursday and you know what I could play the next 5 days too. Just loving my golf at the moment.

Chappy

[BrisVegas]

Played Gailes from the tips this morning with stoney, Iain and steverawlo.

87 gross
80 nett (+7)
7 fairways
8 GIR
31 putts

Hit the ball pretty bad off the tee. Lost a ball and hit a few really ugly flub/skull chips... But also hit some great chips and bunker shots. Just not consistent enough yet. Greens were still pretty awful, but better than a couple of weeks ago.

Looking forward to tomorrow! There's always hope.

[Stoney]

Played Gailes from the tips this morning with stoney, Iain and steverawlo.

Thanks guys good time had by all

76 gross
74 nett (+1)
8 fairways
12 GIR
31 putts

Started very slowly and had a "right" day off the tee. Got better as the day went on. Showed signs of old form at times.

[Jarro]

87 around Redcliffe today (32 points)

5 fairways
4 G.I.R
31 putts

[Grunt]

Played this morning with Andrew @ Mac Grange
Another really inconsistent day 34 points but should have been around 37. 2 wipes. A couple of bad putts that should have dropped for birdie but **** happens. Just about every lay up off the tee hurt me . Oh well maybe next week at lakeside.

[Fishman Dan]

An annoying day. Wasn't really tuned in, and turned up for my 2nd round with the Pro's old man (free cart ride ). No one else in our group turned up so we played as a 2some.

Par comp, so the tee sheet looked like swiss cheese. Everyone hates this format.

Had -4 (thanks holes 6-9), but everything other than those 4 holes were pretty average. A bad chip, 2 brain farts and a ball that vanished made it a challenge. I had plenty of chances to nullify those -'ves, but couldn't sink the putts.

Put a 5-iron on the 10th to 33cm. Pitched, spun right and stopped.. Awesome 2/+

[Matt 3 Jab]

irish 4 ball, played with connico, kept my individual score in my head, played out every hole and was on the card all day, didnt wipe a hole, so that helped.
Shot even par (43 points) and left 3 easy birdie putts out there. team had 91 points, 10 off the lead
Effective tee shots: 9/13 hit the driver well
GIR: 11/18, hit the irons great all day!
Puitts: 29!!!! 2 3 putts, missed 1 3 footer, left heaps of good chances out there
U/D's: 5/7 a chip in and some ok putting.

[Jarro]

played Northlakes with the lads today ... great turnout, around 20 of us i think ... well done guys

i had an 87 (32 points)
8 fairways
6 G.I.R's
34 putts

[amanda]

Played in the ladies monthly medal today - shot a very ordinary 98/78 - a round that included a fair few 7s, a 9 and 2 birdies!

It was a day of contradictions - 9 over on the first 9, 16 over on the back. Had a fun day though

[connico]

67 net... HC 25... no comment

edit: well if i comment i might give myself a big head which i shouldnt because i could have shot the lights out of my hcp today...maybe even shot it while it was dying...

[brad]

Why not, It is worth a comment. Especially when on the second you are putting for Eagle!!!

I shot a net 77 whilst watching Connico play like a low marker. Not too many highlights except one pressure put for par, but a fairly solid round. Would have been better without the 10 on a par five though

[BrisVegas]

29 points on Saturday at North Lakes. Didn't keep my stats, as I was thinking about my match with Perci.

Sprayed a few drives out to the right and each one cost me at least double-bogey. North Lakes rough is pretty unforgiving. Chipped fairly well and putted ok without holing anything. Sorry, this is all a bit vague. I was trying to work out stats, but for the life of me I can't remember much of the round. Added to the fact that 4-5 holes there seem identical...

[jimandr]

I'm tempted to not post my round today at New Brighton with Brad, Connico and TS, and decide that it simply doesn't count, but, some readers will already know that I had a nett 82, so they may wish to know how I did it.

using Jono's Snake Eyes driver, with a shaft too stiff for my swing speed, I hit 3 fairways out of 11 attempts. At least 4 of the misses were into chip out sideways positions.

I hit 10 greens in reg out of 14 opportunities, the other 4 were chipouts.

I started putting using the 'claw' putting grip. It was a major failure, no touch at all. After 7 holes I abandoned it, holed my next two putts, then three-putted the following three greens in a row. Total of 39 putts, with 5 three-putts and two other misses under 6 feet.

I did strike a 7-iron to 1.84m on 11 for a potential nearest the pin (and missed the putt). I hope Brad or Connico monitor the result for me.

I also hit a shank, but thankfully didn't hit any more after that.

A day that tested my love of golf.

[Moe Norman]

Added to the fact that 4-5 holes there seem identical...

thats because they are. Have a ook at the scorecard, Mike, shavey and I were laughing afterwards because on the course map 3 of the holes have identical maps (or VERY close to it) it's like the graphics guy just copy pasted 3 times, and I can see why, because they ARE bloody identical!

last time at NL for a while for me.

[BrisWesty]

North Lakes yesterday
93 (approximately)
30 points
30 putts
6 fairways
3 GIR
0/3 sand saves (all 2 putts)
Included a likely quadruple bogey (picked up), two triple bogeys and a double bogey. They were all from mistakes off the tee, or hitting Mike's ball.
I was really happy with my work around and on the greens.

Still not sold on the barbers' poles in the middle of the fairways.

[cazandpaul]

Caz and I played a 4B for 44 points and picked up a ball - got a NTP - Caz can certainly carry a huge weight around the course.

[Stoney]

Played Norths Lakes with the crew on Saturday. Good day and Thanks for the Match Play Practice Moe.

Had a really solid day until I run out of puff after 15. 2 days of golf in a row, not what I am used to any more.

76 Gross - 34 Points
10 Fairways
13 Greens
32 Putts
Included 2 Doubles

[amanda]

I did strike a 7-iron to 1.84m on 11 for a potential nearest the pin (and missed the putt). I hope Brad or Connico monitor the result for me.

Congrats Jim - you won NTP on the 11th

And I won the NTP on the 13th (240cm)

Any preference on what brand/type of golf balls you'd like?
