I don't want to be the threadstarter. But I do like to whinge when people post in the wrong month.
There will also be some whingeing from me in this report, even though I had 38 points.
I hit the ball really well, and blew a couple of scoring opportunities by leaving putts from just off the green well short. But I hit a lot of really good shots with the long clubs. 3 wood distance from the green? No problem. I hit GIR with 3 wood 4 times.
Here's the whinge. In amongst all the good play were two shanks, both from 30 metres out, when I was looking for up and down and more glory.

Good solid round today on a course that I have never played before, so pretty happy with that!
Some poor putting cost today, with two 3 putts and some poor execution on a few birdie opportunities, although one did a 360 of the hole and would not drop.
The blokes I played with gave some good advice on the lines to hit and I managed to stick most of them.
A better round this morning.
BbPBBPPbP-PPPPPPBPB 74/37pts
Driver was good - only miss that really cost me was on the 1st, and a less bad 2nd shot probably could've salvaged par. And maybe 15, where I wasn't able to go for the green in 2. Irons & wedges were really good.
Disappointed to only get 1 birdie between holes 7 and 13 - GIR on each, all within 15-20 feet, and only made 1 of them. The miss on 7 was horrible, paying too much attention to where my son was (he was being still & well behaved, I didn't need to worry) and not enough focus on the 3 foot putt. Oh well.

MM at North Haven in strong wind with showers on and off throughout the day.
Golfs a funny game.
No blemishes on th card and was 1 under after 7. Finished the 9 with 2 bogies.
Boarded the bogey train and got off at the 13th with Par then stepped off the platform at Par 3 14th with a double after 2 chunked fat shots and a miss from 4 foot to save bogey.
Then went birdie par in a token effort to save the wreck only to throw it away finishing with a double and a bogey.
1 over on the front and 7 over on the back. I can still smell the handbrake burning now![]()

First round of match play knockout,got the job done 3&1.I had to give 2 shots,was able to halve the first shot hole with a tidy par,but couldn't do the same with a par on the second shot hole.Played steady golf,then made a move with 6 to go.
Next week I am giving up 15 shots,any tips

34 off 1 in my second game back, birdie putts keep burning the edge.
Was like I’d wound the clock back 12yrs for nine at least.
Apart from stuffing 14 with the fat shots all the dropped shots were short game. Really bad chip shots, good putts that weren’t good enough burning the edge and one bad pulled putt. All the chips were from not a long way off the green.
2x bladed
2x chunked
Every drive was in play
Heaps. Narrowly avoided raising the bat.
07/02/2021, Jindalee GC, 9h Social.
Stats: 1/6 fairways, 3/9 greens, 16 putts.
Score: BPPXBXPPP; 39 (+6); Played to 6.3.
Arrived at the club, then drove back home to get my golf shoes. An ordinary start, that continued with the golf game. Bad driving, shocking hybrids and several putts burning the edge made it tough work The highlight of the round was having a five iron back after a year of having it as an annoying gap in the bag, then flushing the first one onto the green. A few pars to finish on the easy holes stopped a complete blowout.
Next round: I was playing Gailes on Tuesday, but my partner pulled the pin, so I'll probably wait until next Saturday at Lowood now.

35 points today off 14 at Thaxted.(20/15)
Bogeyed the first and then played a great 5 hole stretch of consecutive pars which left me at +1 through 6 holes. I thought I had the ball on a string at this point. Then as it often does my game off the tee left me. Seems none of the practice yesterday found its way into my game. Hit some bad hooks and left myself no second shots. I still managed to make good pars and bogies with solid iron play and putting. A couple double bogies in the last 3 holes is also getting way too familiar. I didn't miss anything within 5 feet all day on the greens. If I could have kept it on the fairway I'm pretty sure I would have been on the verge of breaking 80. Anyway, some good steps in the right direction.
Sux to let a potential really good one get away. Driving well then suddenly hitting rank shots becomes frustrating. Bit guilty of this myself over the years. I’ve always put it down to the Mr Hyde back in the back of brain somewhere that likes to come out midway through a round. You cruising along hitting good drives with a nice controlled tempo. At some point Mr Hyde goes “it’s my turn now, I can get it out there another 20m” then without even realising it’s happening your transition tempo increases and the bad wayward shots start to show up.
It takes calm concentration to maintain that smooth controlled tempo and not get quicker with over confidence Or think you can get more length because your fully warmed up.

80 off the plates in the medal
Triple was the only bad hole, otherwise I'll take 80.
Medal day. Shot 77 off 6 so happy with that. About a 2 club wind so conditions were tough, played to 2.6.
10/14 FW
7 GIR (2-3 off by under a foot so not too bad)
28 Putts
First hole drove it centre fairway, 135 in. Wind into and off the right. Hit a 6 iron and smother hooked it, about 40 metres left, possibly into the river! Hit a provisional, same but a little better, about 30 left.
Never found the first one, didn't get the second up and down so started with a triple. Bogeyed the second, was ready to walk off!
Parred the next 9, bogeyed 12, birdied 13, parred 14,15,16, bogeyed 17 and lipped out for birdie on 18.
Best score in a fair while and other than the first I was really happy with my game overall. Just need to work out why I always start so shit!
Played Royal Pines yesterday off the blues, just a social game with 6 teams of two playing best Stableford each hole. I ended up with 88 from 17 holes but had fun. Changed my ball on the back 9 after hitting a drive into the water, going from the soft ones I've been using to a TP5x I found. I quite enjoyed how I hit it especially with my irons.
Today was at Surfers Paradise in the social club. I kept the same ball and had 3 of the pix type I'd won last year so played it again. Won the day with 47 points playing off 24 (84 off the stick) so I'll lose 5 off the handicap which brings it more in line with my GA one. 7/13 fairways which included driving a par 4 green (sadly 3 putted it 😂), 5/18 greens and 33 putts. I enjoyed the extra spin I got from my irons and on chips, I felt like I had more control with those shots, and was getting consistent direction with the driver which gave me a lot of confidence on the tee as well.
Had two birdies, one a result of an approach shot hitting the pin and dropping about a metre from the hole.
Really enjoyed it today, a few crappy shots here and there but mostly hit it well. Looking forward to next round.
