Yes very much so , king of the hills seemed to be the starting point for the hills side , I had a putt on the 3 rd go left against the break then turn right with the break so as it sorted side stepped the hole and finish behind and right of the hole , all in the space of a metre
Just played the Ladies Classic at Bargara. Pretty ordinary golf from me but a great tournament.
Day 1 - 97/83
Day 2 - 95/81
Day 3 - 93/79
Gradual improvement. It was very windy and the greens were slick. Lots of run so a slightly offline shot was taken further than normal.
Isabella who won (17 year old kid) shot a 67/64 in the first round. Her first time under par (par 73)!
Solid 25 points around Young yesterday.
Was not pretty.
Onto Wentworth Falls this morning

Played yesterday and had 31 pts. With a lacklustre 14 on the first side.
Came home with 17 made up of 3 birdies and 3 wipes.
In other news I’m a firm convert to the “take-the-damn-flag-out” camp. Hit a chip that was dying dead centre into the hole for eagle only for it to hit the stick and bounce out. The second such occurrence in two weeks.
Other than social hits it’ll be out at all times. F**k you Bryson!!!
Played my first comp round in 2 years last week.
Mac Links 38 points and won the day... can only go downhill from here...
Stab at Curlewis today.
Battled the wind and rain. Managed a couple of birdies on 5 and 8. Leaked a bit on the back 9, but the wind was getting crazy.
A flag sees me drop to new lowest ever of 7.9.

31 crappy points at Half Moon Bay. Just couldn't get anything going and when I did have a shot at making a birdie the putts just wouldn't drop.
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.
Wonderful day out today, the weather and company was immaculate.
Cruising through 5 then BANG!!!

Pint of Ginger Beer at half time and held it mostly together on the second nine- made some outlandish pars but no birdies.
87/82
Finally got out for a second game at my new home.
Driver hasn't been the same since Loxton Open 2 months ago swinging it like a busted.
First par comp in I can't remember when, -8 is not real good is it?

a tale of 2 golf game on Saturday;
Played back 9 and after wiping 3 holes, only had 12 points.
concentrated more on using my 3 wood on the next 9, and managed to score 22 points with 3 pars, 1 birdie and bogeyed the rest....
changed my attitude with my putting, with instead of trying to hole every single putt from a distancce, just get it close to the hole; more like how i practice... seem to have reduce the mental pressure off me.
Sunday game, took out the SLDR mini to try to keep the drive in control..... first 9 had some bad luck with 3 wipes, 4 pars and 2 bogey for 16 points; back 9 was pretty much 1 par and bogies the rest for 18 points.
even 34 average for the weekend....
Could have been better, but I guess with a 16 handicap, but hopefully can get my GA down again
Today was my first game for 8 weeks. Had this post not been on this page, I wouldn't have seen it, and I would have repeated it almost word for word.
My first rejection with flag in today. It was about a 30 footer that was catching the edge and (hopefully) doing a power lip-in. But the flag got in the way and knocked it out.
Apart from that, my score was 33 points, but I played well. It was black marker day, and my short game wasn't quite up to the challenge of finding some very hard pin placements. I really enjoyed getting back on the course, and hitting some good shots.

Warragul today stableford, 13/21 , greens were really slow , my swing was to quick to often . Back nine was boosted by chipping in on the 13 th rated no 1 . Had the pleasure of watching a 10 marker shooting 48 points , he had it to four under after a tap in eagle on 12 . Bogies on 17 n 18 brought him back to even on the back nine . He won the comp by four shots
Played sensible golf today.... no hero shots.
If ball went in Bushes just chip or putt it out.
Pretty windy too
Averaged 2 putts most greens with only 1 3 putts....
Bogey most of the way with a few pars in there... 36 points off 16 hdcp.
Still need to keep the driver in check
To windy and wet so I stayed home.Wii golf copped a flogging though.Best was 7 under for 18

Got my first start today in A Grade pennant vs Hervey Bay at Bundaberg.
Played 7 (hc 7.7) vs an ex scratch 2-capper.
Started well with 3 GIR and a bird on 2 to be 1-up through 3. He got me back on 4, and we see-sawed the next 5 holes to turn the 9th square.
Played the next 3 pretty poorly to be 3 down, but easy 2 putt pars on 14 and 15 got me back to 1 down.
Slotted drives on 15 and 16, making GIR pars on both, but he was an up-and-down demon to recover out of the trees on both to stay 1 down. Hit a great tee shot on the 185m 17th, which nudged the flag and got rejected short sided off the green. I couldnt get up and down to his reg par to lose 2&1.
Pretty happy to be honest, was 2 under cap through 17, I just couldn't quite keep up.
Team ended up going down 6-1, and of the losses, my match was the only one to make 17, so overall pretty happy with the experience and my play.
We were missing 4 players off 2 or less, so doubt I'll get another start this year, but super keen to lower the cap to get starts on merit in the future.
