6 rounds of less than 30 stab points. Just 12 more and will be anchored to 12 cap. Lots of practice, handicap going out happy times!

Played 9 this afternoon, shot an even par 36. Two bogeys, two birdies. Striking the ball pretty well, not holing many putts at the moment but hopefully they start falling soon. Missed make-able birdie putts on 1,2,3,4 and 6. Ended up 3 putting the 4th, missed a 10 foot eagle putt on the 8th. Overall 18 putts for the 9 which is too many if you want to be scoring well.

16/16 for 32 points around the composite Royal Canberra layout.
New irons from Monsta, hit a few well and a few poorly, but happy overall.
Struggled on the recovering greens. The longer grass sometimes broke, sometimes bobbled around.

Mareeba Open- started well but couldn’t buy a putt and went out in 43(+7).
Massive drive down 10, flopped a wedge to 4 ft and made the putt. We’re back!!!!!
Not.
Bogies the next three before steadying the ship and parred the way home.
43/38 for 81 nett 74 (34pts)
I played in the Mareeba Open this weekend with Bushy, Solarman & Frodo.
Round 1 was poor. 82/78 with a couple of doubles.
Round 2 started out the same way with a series of weak bogies. The back 9 was a contrast with 3 birdies, none of which were longer than 7ft. Finished 76/72.
Chatting with another Cairns member in the club house afterwards... he shot 83 on the first day with 46 putts... 46!
Masters breakfast and 9 hole comp. Wasn’t great off no sleep Saturday night and two hours last night.
Masters 9 hole comp at Kooindah this morning. Had 5 over with 3 x 3 putts but still managed to win the green jacket with my partner Rickie Fowler having -2 on the back 9 at Augusta.
The added bonus/enjoyment was using the vintage Macgregor irons and persimmon woods I got from M3Jab and flushing them the whole way.
9 hole Masters comp at Cairns GC this morning with Bushy. Defending my title & green jacket from last year.
I chopped it around a bit, but my putting was on song (12 putts for the 9, including a 25 footer for birdie on the last). I carded 19pts, which was good enough for tied 3rd.

It's been a while since I've posted in a WDYS thread, cos I've had nothing decent to post until Sunday.
Starting on 10 at my home club, I carved one way right but was able to get it back in play then proceed to play the wrong shot and flub my pitch shot. Recovered with a nice chip to about 4 feet below the hole, but missed the putt for a double...****!!!
Regulation par on 11 after taking an iron off the tee for safety.
Had 167m to the pin on the Par 3 12th, and hit 5 iron about 10m over the flag on to the back fringe. Hole that put for a 2/4 and my round was back on track.
Nice low cut off the tee with the driver left me 200m into the par 5 13th for my second shot off the upslope of a mound. Hit it pin hit left, leaving a chip over a bunker with about 10feet of break on the green when it landed. Hit a good chip long left and used the hump in the green to bring the ball back down to about 6 feet. Holed that for my second birdie of the day.
Regulation 2 putt par on 14.
Holed a 30 footer on 15 for another birdie followed by regulation pars on 16 and 17.
Pumped a drive up 18 and hit 9i to a front pin to about 5 feet. Slightly over hit my first putt through the break and left myself a 3 footer coming back, missed that putt to be even for the round....****!!!
Nice cut of the tee on 1 leaving me 164m uphill to the flag. Lasered a 5iron to about 2.5feet and rolled it on for my 4th birdie of the day.
Nice gentle fade 3iron off the tee on the par 4 second, I proceed to chunk a 9i from 125m but was able to get up and down for par.
Pushed my drive a touch right on the 3rd, but managed to limit the damage to a bogey.
Made a nice up and down for par on the 4th after bailing out left off the tee with the driver.
Biggest break of the day came on 8 when I sprayed a drive way right missing the 15th fairway and ended up under a fig tree. Manage to hit a punch a 7iron under the some branches, over 2 sets of bunkers and stopped it on the green. 2 putted that for a easy par
Parred in from there to shoot even par the front and even for the day. I missed out on going under for the first time ever, after 3 previous even par rounds but I'll take the win in the A Grade Singles. It's been a while!!!
Stats:
4 birdies
12 GIR
7/12 Fairways
29 Putts
1 x 3 Putts
PS I played with Dotty on Sunday, so 2 of my 4 par rounds have been with him, so I can't decide if he is a good luck charm or holding me back

Decided to test my back out today , been nearly 7 weeks , hit a couple balls in the nets so I wouldn’t miss the first one , bladed all my practice chips , took out a different putter , skied the first tee shot knocked a 5 hybrid on sunk the 30 footer for birdie, went within a bees dick of a birdie on the second, had a couple of wipes thru poor wedges and crappy short game . Finished front nine with 13 pts , two birdies four bogeys 3 pars on the back for 19 pts . So 32 pts off 5 cap , 3 birdies, 2 wipes , 2 x 3 putts . Overall fairly happy now just wait to see how the back pulls up tomorrow

A haiku instead of a novel...
30 points today
1 kakaa and 3 dumb wipes
Anchor within reach.
Having a short family holiday for a week in Airlie Beach and ducked over to Proserpine for a hit in their Thursday comp.
31 points with 2 wipes. The windy Whitsundays lived up to their name and I didn't do myself any favours with some dumb shots.
Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.
