    Default Monthly Mug Profie - January 2016 - Simmsy

    Username: Simmsy

    Home club: Melville Glades Golf Club, otherwise known as Melvilleasy Golf Club by some WAnkers

    How often do you play? 2-3 comps a month, but will get out to the course for a couple of holes or chip around twice a week usually.

    Current handicap: 8.4

    Lowest ever handicap: 7.4

    Dream handicap: 5.0

    How long have you played golf? Sort of played in two different lives really. Played from 12-18 then work took over my life as a young fella then only mucked around very rarely from 18-35. From 35-42 i've been back into golf as much as i can be. spewing i gave golf away in my 20's as probably would have easily got to <5.

    How did you catch the golfing bug? My Dad introduced me to golf, i use to follow him around at MGGC then competing with my brother trying to beat each other with a few dollars on the line

    What's currently in your bag? D: Ping G30-10* SFTec/Tour 65Stiff - Also occassionally play a Ping rapture with BB.
    H: 3&4 Mizuno FliHi DIR with Nippon NSPro 950Stiff
    I: Yamaha 5-P Inpres X Tour Players Cav with Nippon NSPro 950Stiff
    W: Been playing Cally V Series Wedge 52/56/60 for a while but just as of this week will be trialling Cally MD2 52/58 for a while
    P: Odyssey Metal X #9 with SuperStroke Flatso 1.0 - Love this putter

    What golf ball do you use? Week in week out - Cally Hex Chrome - bought up big when they were cheap such a good ball for everyday members tracks. Will use Titleist ProV1x when i know the greens will be tough to hold.

    Dream golf purchase: Not too sure really, i quite like my bag set atm but if it was a Dream golf purchase it would probably be no expense spared driver fitting with any brand head and shaft combo that is available in the world.

    Favourite golf course played? Really tough one, i will like different courses for different reasons. I'm still on a high from Heritage tbh! i loved that course, so many good things about it. Then there is the obvious types like RMW and Metro which i loved. but i really like our courses in the south west of WA, greens are excellent, like sandbelt excellent when they get them right, usually simple courses but i play golf for the serenity most of the time and to be in a place like Capel GC or Margaret River GC is pretty special. i haven't travelled much for golf unfortunately.

    Dream golf destination or trip? If you were to give me $50k to go and play where i want for a month it would be Ireland, Scotland & England without a doubt.

    If you could pick three others, dead or alive, to play a round with, who would they be? My Dad, My Brother and David Feherty. oh! and could we have Miranda Kerr as our QuenchWench?

    If you could pick three OZgolfers to play a round with, who would they be? Jack(is he still an ozgolfer?), Lefty and WBenno

    Favourite golf memory? HIO as a 12 yo playing with my Dad in the Father/Son opening day at MGGC

    Have you ever had a hole in one? If yes talk us through it. As above - 135m with water on the left hit 3i (jack nicklaus blades) bladed it just about the whole way along the ground in she rolls.

    Have you ever had a “Solarman moment”? If yes, talk us through it: What exactly is a Solarman moment? i've heard of many Solarman moments. But my most recent one when i did actually think of Bob during the round was at MGGC only December past, i had 17 points and i WAS trying, starting with hitting hyb right on the first then playing my 3rd from further back than my 2nd and my 4th further back from my 3rd! i picked up and tried to reset. Some prick picked up my ball on the 2nd hole after i put it on the wrong fwy, the day got worse from there.

    Favourite current Tour player: Probably Luke Donald, in his pump his short game was brilliant, love watching him hit irons, that finish is classic.

    Favourite golfer past or present? Why? I'd say GNormal just from the impact he had on every kid in the 80's that had any sort of passing interest in golf. When flying he was electric. just gut wrenching some of his losses, that LMize chip i can still visualize it as if i saw it this morning.

    Lastly, talk us through your Monthly Mug winning round: Well, just as i was trying in my Solarman moment, i was anything but trying in this round(maybe there is something in that hey?
    I wanted to do a bit of sandbagging prior to Vic Champs as i thought i would just bunt it around without any effort and drop off a flag of about 8, well after a bog on 1 i went p,p,p,b,p and started to look at the score and thought shit! now i have to see what i can shoot, finished the 9 with par 36 and should have had 34. started our back 9 with par, about a 12' par save then went 3jack bog and thought here we go it's all over now. held on for p on next then soft bog on the next. had par on the p3 and thought ok lets see if we can hang on here for a score, then had par that should have been bird. So with 3 to go was feeling a little tight the 16 hole was into strong seabreeze, piped drive but still had 150 in, pulled approach left into a bad spot and didnt get u&d, just hitting edge for par. 17th hole, 510m down wind, smoked drive and to my pleasure left me with 178m in for my 2nd, i never reach p5's in 2! so pull out the 4h and hit the perfect baby draw and it rolls up to 3' - very nervously somehow sunk the EAGLE putt. Well my nerves were shot after that for our final hole a 170m tough p3 bogeyed the last to shoot the 74otb, spewing i had 2 really soft bogeys on the back 9 but then hey, maybe i don't get that eagle if i was square to card at that point.
    Still not playing enough GolfLink | Slightly less terrible stats brought to you by Golfshot - F: 57%, GIR: 23%, UD: 14%, P: 34. Wow, improvement! | Nickent brand ho or tightarse? You be the judge!

    Awesome. I'm in. I look forward to shooting 77 from the Reds. It'll kill my manhood, and I can continue playing from them for the rest of my life.
