First comp rd back after lockdown.
33 points, with an extremely cold putter, must have had 6 lip out's and 4 that ran the edge, other than that hit the ball quite well.
Went from 9.7 to 10.7, as a 43 point rd dropped out.

It was a very difficult day today, with a 30 metre breeze that, when a cross wind, affected the ball if you didn't allow for it, and naturally didn't move the ball at all when you did allow for it. Except for putting, when it was always a factor.
I'm actually happy with my nett 76 in the stroke event. I hit the ball well, but my long putting in the wind was awful, and I missed more 5 footers than I holed. I started each nine with a birdie, and finished each nine with a 3 putt bogey.
I was also the only player in my group who didn't lose a ball in the tons of leaf litter and tree branches left after the storms and strong winds of the last few days. So that was a positive.

A disappointing and frustrating 30 points for me today.
I hit lots of really good shots, and only a few bad ones, but the bad ones tended to follow each other, so 4 double bogeys made a good score impossible. Bad long putting again made life difficult.

Haven't posted in here for a while as there's been nothing worthing talking about... until today.
73 off the stick for 40pts and an A Grade win, thanks to 5 birdies keeping me alive.

Went round Gunnedah GC this morning. First game with no fairways/hybrids. Utility irons now in play.
87 off the stick.
Considering I topped 90% of my drives a few months back, I'm quite happy.
Stroke round today, first game back after getting over the flu, and I'd apparently forgotten which end of the club to hold, getting to +7 through 6 holes. Then I remembered, and played the next 12 in even par, with some excellent ball striking. 78/72 (par 71)

The 3rd was a disaster - pin-high in 2 after punching around some trees, but then took 3 chips to get on the green. The 5th wasn't much better: a 3-putt after missing the green on a par 3. Ball striking was generally pretty good all round, some really nice drives & irons, just some shocking play around the green early on.

07/11/2020, McLeod GC, Stableford.
Stats: 6/13 fairways, 3/18 greens, 30 putts.
Score (10th start): PPBBPBBPB PBPXPPXXB; 39:46:85 (+5:+9:+14).
I played the COVID-delayed McLeod Cup today, which I haven't played since the days when OZgolf owned the trophy. I played fairly solid golf for most of the day, where I couldn't convert well played holes (scarified greens didn't help), but also got away with some of my bad shots. 8 over through 15 was looking good for a round under the handicap for the first time in the five year handicap history, but that disappeared quickly with a couple of hooked drives leading to a triple and double on my 16th and 17th. That will teach me to buy a box of new balls, with three gone in those two holes.
Next round: Definitely next weekend, but I feel I should squeeze in nine holes after work one day during the week.

31 points today in what can only be described as perfect conditions for golf.
14 pts on the way out, no consistency, scrambling every hole.
17 pts coming back in, was also doing my head in until I got to the 17th tee and appeared to have worked out what the issue was. Piped the drive down the par 5 17th, then nailed a 3wd 1 mtr short of the green. Putted up to 4 foot dropped the birdie. Pared the last.
Grrrrrrr....

38 points this morning, for the first time in a long time the putter was working. It could have been even better but a wipe on 17 did not help. I think this flagged round will take me down to a new low hc.
27.
Whatever
81/66 around Wantima in their amateur cup yesterday. Putter finally started to work again.

Played in the Oxley Stableford thingy on Sunday, ended up with 26 points (99 off the stick). Handicap is still lower than my skill level would indicate. Front 9 was better for 16 points (44), and I was pleased to play all the par 3s well for once. Hit two of them and just missed the other. Unfortunately I fell away on the back 9 with some crappy iron play and drives ending up in crap positions on some holes, behind trees or shrubs blocking my backswing, overhanging trees preventing using the club I normally would from the distance etc. It was nice to be out though.
37 points on Sunday, including holing a 30 pace putt and a couple of 30 footers on cored greens, and missing 4 inside 4 feet.
After 40 points won me a ball last week, 37 was 3rd in the comp.
I still suck at golf though. Anyway, if all goes to plan, its now 7 rounds in the next 5 days. Bring it on.

A ho hum 33 points for me today.
Hit the ball well for the most part, but putting was terrible. An observer may have concluded I was handicap farming, but I was trying to hole all the 8 footers I missed. The only ones I holed were for the second putt.
EDIT: A deep search through my memory bank makes me fairly sure this was the first time ever that I was on the course at 11am on Remembrance Day. I was very impressed that my playing partners enthusiastically supported my suggestion that we pause for silence at 11.00. So we did.

Turned up today with no expectations, went out in 1 under for 24 points, 8 pars and a birdie, 7/9 greens.
Missed a 4 footer for birdie on 10 and then it went pear shaped, 3 wipes on shot holes for 13 the back.
Greens were aerated on Monday (and not very well - strips ripped out in places), so birdies were hard to come by today, and you needed to chip close to guarantee an up and down. Pretty happy with a 78 (35 points), although a disappointing finish playing the last 2 in 3 over.

Should see my handicap drop below 6.0 for the first time.
