Great golf BYU

Got out for 9 this arvo. Started pretty solid when I was 1 over through 5 holes but then proved why I'm still off 15 by going bogey, double, triple, double..

Ouch. How's your driver going? I hit 4/9 with driver today, which is a bit better than I've been lately.

Ok but I still have that big left miss going on.

15/01/2021, Gailes GC, Red Temp, 9 Hole Social.

Stats: 3/7 fairways, 4/9 greens, 13 putts.
Score: BbPPPBPPP; 36 (+1); Played to 3.0.

After a golf clinic on Wednesday, my 13yo was keen to get out on the course, which makes me happy. Off to Gailes we went for nine holes, and I joined him in hitting off the red tees. Except for a couple of holes, it didn't make the course as short as I thought.

I wasn't really happy with the driver performance, unlike Tuesday's game, but everything else seemed quite good, and I continue to keep scoring well regardless of position.

Next round: Finally, another comp round. I couldn't get anything local, so my neighbour and I are off to Hills tomorrow. Hopefully, it isn't too bad. I can only remember the bad holes.

Nice going. +1 is a good 9 from any tees.

Thanks. It would have been interesting to see how another 9 holes would have went. Whether the good scoring would continue, or if bad driving would catch up with me.

36 points at Cairns Golf Club today with Courty and Solarman.

Haven't played 18 since the fortnight before Xmas but I managed to play solidly until the par 4 16th when I put two balls into the greenside lake. A ferret birdie on the last helped balance the ledger.

16/01/2021, Hills GC, White Tee Stableford.

Stats: 3/14 fairways, 7/18 greens, 30 putts.
Score (B9 1st): BBbBPPPXP PBPPXBPbB; 40:40:80 (+4:+4:+8); Stab 20-20-40; Played to 6.3 or 7.3.

Eight over with three balls in water hazards, plus a lost ball, is a strange scorecard to submit. A couple of these were because I just didn't know the course (and the holes are stupid). I'm pretty happy to have a 40 point stab round for the first time since I don't know when; probably early 2015.

The game is in a nice little spot at the moment. Driving isn't great, but I'm not putting into the trees much, and the rough isn't punishing at many courses in Queensland. I'm just trying to get on or close to the greens in regulation, as much as possible, because I know the putter can usually do the job, and the short game is showing signs of improvement. Today was good day for the irons, and the white tees kept the course short, so I was able to get near those greens.

Next round: I'm booked in to play St Lucia at 5:37a for the first time in maybe 20 years on Monday morning before work, a bit like I did at Vic Park this week, although not first off.

Gold Creek Classic off the blacks, 6450m, greens running at 13, and 40k winds.

The course won.

89/78 and a bazillion putts. Highlight was an airy on the third when I caught a tree branch in my downswing, and a triple of the shortest par 3 on the course
