[Grumpy8]

Beaconhills today , did the Jekyll n Hyde act again, 21/12 , nothing but 2 n 3 pointers front nine even with missing two short putts nearly holed out on the 6 th ( 10 cms ) . Back nine complete opposite, two one pointers, three wipes more 3 putts, terrible drives but still managed a birdie . Not sure what I was playing on the back 9 but it wasn’t golf

[Grumpy8]

Beaconhills again today , 18 pts after 8 holes then two 3 putt wipes ,14 pts last 8 holes, putting was crap , missed a heap of easy putts

I looked at the weather app at 10 am , daily max of 7 ,strong winds and rain . Thought they would cancel it , was staying home either way .

[Matt 3 Jab]

Tripled 17 and bogeyed 18 for 79 nett 76 in the black tee stroke medal.

Guess it was a tough day as i scored the win and only one to break 80. Still annoyed at the triple.

[BUSHY]

First round of the FNQ Open at Gordonvale GC.

Started really average with 3 doubles on the front, mainly due to short game and putting.

Birdied the 9th after lipping out an eagle putt, had a 10ft eagle putt on 10 that resulted in a 3putt par and that was that. Basically held on to avoid any further damage. Keen to play well tomorrow, haven’t had a really good round there before.

Wasn't to bad,wind wasn't overly strong,rain came and went all day and wasn't all that cold.Their was a lot of water everywhere which made putting fun.I actually putted with my 7 iron on 27th after I already had 3 , 3 putts.

I would have thought 27 would drain , 22 and a few others would have been worse

Round 2 today. Played much better tee to green. Both birdies were 2 putts, good chances for eagle.

2 birdies

76/71

29 Points at Pacific today. Played the first nine (back nine) well with 17 but wheels fell off for only 12 coming home.

[Grumpy8]

Beaconhills today 6 deg at 11 am , sun came out and we made it to 9 . Usual stableford comp , 33 pts 19/14, no wipes , technically no 3 putts , at least 4 three putts from the fringe , 3 in a row on 14,15,16 . Bogies on last 5 holes killed what could have been a good score .

My first round for a few weeks, mainly due to weather-related factors. So I wasn't expecting great things, but I got great things. 40 points was the result, and it was one of the best rounds of golf I have ever played.

90% of NSW is in drought, but we have been getting lots of regular rain, so the course is more than a bit wet. Not much run means for me some long par 4's are out of reach, so I actually only missed one green that I could reach due to a poor shot. I did go over the back three times due to unpredictable bounces and hitting the ball 'too well'. Everything was really good today.

[Grumpy8]

Well played Jim

Managed a game at Atherton today with some mates which only strengthens my desire to play their Open. I’ll leave the below graphic to explain the main influence on today’s round.

33points- with two birdies and 4 wipes. The bag today was D, 3w, 3hy, 5, 7, 9, 54, P.

Greens will be a bit ordinary on the lakes course now till summer,they cored them to late and then chopped a frost.Once you get into the hills front putting becomes as much luck as it does good skills until you get the speed again
Something I do every night at home is practice my 4 foot putts.Made a huge difference to my confidence on the short putts

I missed 3 short par putts first three holes , left two short and lipped the other one , all not hit hard enough , lakes greens are slower and they had dew on them as well . They are slowly recovering is only 27 th that still has sand visible and I left a birdie putt in the jaws there too . I struggle going from the quicker hills greens , just can’t get my head around hitting the putts about 10% harder . I three putted hills no 7 but that was my fault not the greens . Am in the process of a slight tweak to my putting so that’s causing some of it

Yeah putting on the lakes course can do your head in.They look fast but aren't.

Monthly medal at Queenscliff on Saturday (delayed by a week due to weather). 85 off the stick, 67 nett off 18, for the win! Those of you who were at the Vic Champs may have heard the club VP say that I have a reputation for turning up on stroke days in full bushranger mode, and this will no doubt lead to another 5 years of "What are you doing here, it's not medal day!" every time I walk into the clubhouse.

I'm coming off about 5 months of awful snap-hookery, and in the last month or two I finally started getting the ball under control so I knew a good score was on the way with my cap blown way out. Flushed it early and shot 40 on the front 9 before I started getting a little bit wayward, but I got away with plenty on the way home. 2 pars from the adjacent fairway, topped a ball sideways on one hole that finished 20cm outside a water hazard, and managed to get up and down quite a few times to save the score.

Lost a shot off the handicap, which is good because I wasn't too far off my anchor back in May. Nice to be coming back into form, even if I'm really just reaping the harvest from a season of unintentional farming.

30 points yesty.

Well done Longy.

Well done, Larry.

Must have got some good advice from Grunt, when they caught up at the kayaking.

Had a social 9 at Waterford Valley this arvo.Bloody windy and the greens,well they need some repair from all the pitch Mark's but otherwise the course is pretty good.On the first and mate smacks his drive straight up the middle,other mate pretty close,and I followed as well.That set the mood and we all played some solid golf,but reading a putt was tough.Actually I think we just read what wasn't their,because most of them went dead straight.

I finished 2 over 38 off the stick,dropped shots on 6 and 7,sank a 25 footer on 9 for par that felt pretty good.

6 of 7 fairways,driver was on song.Even hit a low draw up 7 into the teeth of a howler,measured it out at 202m,pretty happy with that.The missed fairway was off by 1 foot,coincidently my drive up 7.

I think 5 of 9 greens

16 putts
