Snuck up to Balaklava for a round Easter Saturday.
Turns out the members had an Ambrose comp that day. They found me a group to play in. One of the members knew me from when I was there years ago and the other had joined after I was no longer playing there and didn't know I was an ex member. We did good I thought considering I was the only one that could get it off the tee longer then 180m on a long course. Just not able to get enough birdie chances playing from so far back when having to use 9 other tee shots when the others couldn't get home on the par 4's.
Best part was calling in to see my best mate for the first time in 2 years since his battle with throat cancer (has only just got his voice back in December).

Probably the wrong spot for this but...

Three jagged the last two for 15/20-35, and back down to 4.9
Ffs. One of those putts would have been runner up, and leading our order of merit

24/04/2022, Wolston Park GC, Gold Tees, Honour Board Event - 4BBB Stroke
BPBBPXXBP BPXPPXBXP; 44:42:86 (+9:+10:+19).
Played to 19.0. SCH: 7.3 (-0.0)
Well my continuous improvement this year has had a hiccup. I was looking forward to teaming up with my mate and playing this honour board event, but ended up being in a group of three, and being the "swinger", plus the cards all get marked as singles anyway, which upset the focus.
I had two three putts in the first three holes, which threw off the confidence in the usually strongest part of my game. I lost three balls off the tee, two of those only hitting a tree, so I was wearing the ultimate punishment there. While my driving seems to be declining, the approaches finally were solid.
Club Champs are the next lot of comps, so hopefully it all comes together then. This week has a couple of social games in Melbourne, so I'd like to play a tad better than this to enjoy the courses.
Ambrose today at Nudgee with the social club, pretty much just a practice session for tomorrow's comp for me. Bit old school without any real help with distances from greens but we did alright for -2 off the stick with no bogeys.
My 3 wood was reliable as usual off the tee, hit a few nice approaches with the longer irons and a couple of close chips from the limited opportunities for those.
Off the whites tomorrow, daily will be 12, lowest I've played off since I first got my GA.
