Kicking the new month off.
I didn't play, still on the injury list but thinking of testing it out in the next week or so.

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.

Midweek Stableford at Maryborough
Only post the good rounds and this was the best.
4 birdies
3 bogies
11 pars
10 gir
26 putts
First ever round under par baby!
20/22 42 off 5 (-1 off the waz).
Kept it in play pretty well, and when I wasn't I took my medicine, got back into position and got up and down from all over. Putted well, 26 overall which included a stupid 3 jab on 16.
F9 is still unreal, smoking huge drives on 1, 5, 10, 12, 15, 16 and 18. Misbehaved on 8 overdrawing one into the water, but a second ball birdie limited the damage with a 5/2. Still waiting on the new irons but the old Covert Forged from years ago were lasers.
Not sure if this will drop me to lowest ever, but it will be close.

I can beat Benno_R. I recorded -2.
It was a par event though, and this is nett, not off the stick. Still, it was my best round for a while, so I'm fairly happy.
EDIT: I forgot to include a thing worthy of comment.
For the first time I can ever recall, in almost 50 years on the course, I got hit by a golf ball. It was a full-blooded shank from a playing partner from a 60m pitch. I didn't think I was anywhere near the playing line, and had my back turned (studying a bad lie I had), so I was struck near the shoulder blade. Obviously the ball wasn't going very quickly, and hit me in a spot where no damage was caused. But, it was the first time ever.

After shooting my second lowest score at Wolston Park two weeks ago, I backed it up with the same score again today. Nice!
I felt today was more consistent overall, although the driver wasn't as good, it was reliable; I had a case of the slices with the longer clubs. The putting was good enough today to get the longer putts close, but not good enough to sink enough close and mid-range putts for the birdies.
Next round: Another Sunday Wolly Park round.

Well, that was garbage. I never felt comfortable over the ball until the last few holes; two much beer and not enough sleep, I guess. Most parts of the game were ordinary, but there were too many shocker shots with iron in hand approaching greens, and the short game was not the same as last week. I'm just writing this one off as a bad day, and hope things return to the new low scoring normal next week.
Next round: Waiting for a Saturday morning tee time to open up.

Absolute trash. If I want to score better, I at least need to look after myself better and make sure I am getting more sleep.
I didn't hit a green until the 8th, then three putted that. My first par was on the 11th, but the thing that hurt was bogeying both of the holes that I hadn't bogeyed this year. Nothing felt right, and the short game was the worst that I can remember.
Next round: I'm meant to be in Sydney next weekend, but if it gets COVID-canned, I'll look for a Sunday round.
Monthly Medal yesterday. I shot 76/73 with a double.
