    Default WDYSTM - January 2021

    Braved the showers at Reddy Bay to have 32 points to welcome the new year. Cracking shank off the tee on 6 (was the short tee so only 98m hole ...). Did play with a scratch marker who had 4 under which was great to watch.

    Played 9 with a mate this morning. Pretty happy with 9 over, though sitting 80mtr from green, middle of fairway, on the par 5 last and taking 3 to get on with 3 putts wasn't how I wanted it to end. My garmin watch was useless. The course seems completely messed up on Garmin atm, with me 100's of mtrs from the 1st green when chipping on, and the holes just completely out of whack. Really struggled with distance control which I expected. Gonna try 9 at the other course next week.

    Monthly medal
    9 over after 3,finished 15 over.Absolute brain farty on the par 3 3rd hole,when I missed a putt for bogey after being in the shite,smacked the ball away in anger only to realise I have to finish the hole.Never have I flushed a putter so well,40m off the green.In for 8.
    Then rattled off 6 straight pars,then the rain came and made it a tad difficult.Then the siren went for the storm and a 45 min delay.
    Happy to finish what was an eventful round.
    86/78
    1 wipe
    31 putts

    02/01/2021, Beaudesert GC, Stroke.

    Stats: 4/14 fairways, 8/18 greens, 34 putts.
    Score: PBBBBBPPP PXPPbBBBP; 41:42:83 (+5:+6:+11).

    Another mid-30 point equivalent stableford score out at Beaudesert this morning, for 7 handicap flags in my last 8 rounds, but out 0.4 to 10.4. It should have been better, but I had a quad on 11, and I had too many putts. The greens were slow, and they would turn when the pace was off the putt, and I just couldn't get it to the hole hard enough, plus I had some bad reads anyway. Five of the birdie putts were very makeable, so it hurt to only walk away with one. According to stats, I lost about 6 shots to putting from my usual, while the rest of my game was better than normal.

    Maybe I'll break through for a good score soon, as there are still areas of my game that are quite lacking.

    Next round: I was considering going to Vic Park on Tuesday, but 5am just seems too early for me, so I'm better off practicing on Wednesday, and saving it for next weekend.

    02/01/2020 Moruya GC - Stableford

    Stats: 79% Fairways, 28% Greens - 31 Putts
    Score: BBBPPPDBB PBBbBBbBP 43:38:: 81 (+7:+3:+10) Slope 136 Scratch 71 - Played to 8.3

    The course was soft today and the greens a little slower than previous visits. Had a good solid round - 36 Points, drove the ball well and made some good up and downs. Made a double from a blocked out drive, took the safe play to punch out then hit a poor approach and poor chip. Best hole for the day was on the Par 5 16th - drive, second short of the creek and the third left a 2m putt for the birdie.

    I was in Tenterfield from Wednesday to this morning, didn't play today but played 4 full rounds and a half round over the previous three days.
    Par 71.
    83
    87
    86
    82 - first round without a double bogey or worse, second round of yesterday
    46(9 holes)
    Fairways and greens stats weren't great but the greens were quite soft and my game from 100m in was really good for once, regularly sticking the ball close enough for a 1 putt, especially from chips close to the green. Really enjoyed the course.

    30 points at Thaxted today. It was medal day yesterday yesterday so the course was playing at max length. Tees were at the tips and flags at the back of greens. However most of my woes came on the greens with horrible lag putting the main issue.

    6 of 14 fairways
    39 putts - 6x 3 putts..
    1 birdie on the 12th the only highlight

    30 points with that many putts suggests the rest of your game was alright. How many putts do you average?

    Today was definitely an exception. Golfpad tells me I average 33.8 putts at Thaxted which sounds about right.

    First game of the new year, and I'm hoping this will be one of the worst. 28 points, and only some good work late around the greens got me to that.

    I particularly did not enjoy half-topping/smothering two drives into our velcro rough which went about 50 metres each. Fortunately. they weren't on the holes where the ladies tee is about 120m forward of the white tees.

    Sandy Gallop - Monthly Mug

    76/67 - Won the mug on a count back in A grade. First major honor since I started playing again a couple months back.

    Turning point was on the back nine. I'd gone through the turn 5 over in large thanks to a nasty triple, and then dropped more shots at 10 and 12 and 13. Then flipped some switch to go birdie, birdie on the run through 14 and 15 and par in for 6 over total. The 1 over back nine obviously helped with the Count Back I'd imagine.

    Mug sitting on the display cabinet now, it's not much, but means a hell of a lot to me. Looking forward to next week

    Nice darts mate, better than winning a par comp.

    Midweek medal, and was unusually high marker in my group.
    Swapped back to my old putter, made a bomb on 2 for birdie, then 3 jagged the next two...
    Driver started to work, came home in 39 for 81/72

    Might get back to a daily of 8s and a GA in the 6s with that.

    2nd round of the year, and I've now set myself a target to aim for.

    39 points today, and lots of out of the ordinary things happened.

    I started in the worst possible manner with a really meaty shank from 80m on our easiest hole. 2 down after 1. Got back to even handicap with some good play on 3 and 4, then just plodded along until 11. Holed a bunker shot, then followed it with two great holes for three birds in a row. First time in about 5 years. At that point I'd had a stretch of 5 putts in 6 holes..

    From that point I tried to choke my way out of it, but two more good shots saved everything.

    My last four rounds have been 38, 32, 28 and 39. So much for being a consistent single figure golfer.

    OMG, a second 9 hole round with my mate! That's like, 2 games of golf this year for me (only 9 holes, but better than nothing). +5 for the 9 with 3 doubles. I'll take that with a big smile on my face.

    Had a shocker this morning, couldn't even get to 30 points. Nothing horribly wrong, just couldn't get going, or sink any putts.
