    Default WDYSTM - September 2022

    10/09/2022, Wolston Park GC (Scr 66 Sl 113 Par 67), Gold Tees, Club Champs Rd 2.

    Strokes Gained vs Scratch



    Scoring: PPPBPBBBP BXPPBXPBB; 39:40:79 nett 72 (+4:+8:+12).
    Played to 13.0. Golflink 8.5 (-0.0).
    Current Champs Placings: Gross +19 for eq 15th. 25 shots back from the leader, but 4 behind 8th (seeded groups).

    Considering how scratchy I am hitting my irons now (again), I'll take that score as a bad round, and be glad that it wasn't worse. It didn't help that for four of the five greens that I did hit, I had long putts and three putted three of them, which is unlike me. I might have to risk having an injury setback this week by heading to the range and improving my irons so I can hit more greens.

    Social club at Virginia today and I went much better than yesterday. Ended up with 82/65, in the best ball we had 43 points, and I had 42 on my own. A lucky chip in birdie on our 5th hole, another on our 15th after a blind 188m 4 iron into the green, and the putt hung on the edge before deciding to fall in. For a lot of the round it felt like I couldn't miss a putt, making quite a few mid range par saves. At that point I was on track for my first ever sub 80 round, but double bogey on 16 and bogey on 17 meant I needed a hole in one on the final hole for a 79 😂
    7 fairways, 2 greens, 25 putts (10 on the front 9). 64% up and downs.
    I struck my irons quite well today but pulled a few of them left. I have a lesson in 2 weeks so hopefully will sort that out.

    Ivo Whitton event at Mt Derrimut. My first golf Australia event, loved the course and hated the conditions. Strong winds and rain.
    Stroke event 82/75.
    Need a putting lesson

    My golf game sucks and is getting worse, rapidly. I can't putt, I can't chip, I can't pitch. My driver is good, my woods are good, I am getting a groove with the irons.

    But my inside 130m game stinks and I don't know how to fix it.

    Its ok, only have the GL Open this weekend.

    First game back after rejoining! Auspicious start with a great drive on the first hole, to finish with two in the water, and 4 putts for a 10
    Plenty of rot continued from them, but had some great banter with my playing partners. Couldn't for the life of me work out why I was hitting so much shorter than usual? Could barely get my drives to 200mtrs, and my irons were nearly two full clubs short (hence water dunking on the first hole, I guess). I may consider myself the Corey Pavin of OzG, but this caught me out! Particularly because I was hitting them fine distance wise a few weeks ago at the Leon day! Plus was putting pretty well that day too, but had 39 putts yesterday, which is a lot considering I only hit 2 greens.
    Could have been much worse though! Could have been at work.

    3rd game back after long lay-off coaching my daughters footy team.

    First 2 rounds were character building. Played yesterday, course was still recovering after some rain, so was a little wet under foot in some sections.

    Didn't feel like I hit the ball at all well, always appeared to be scrambling, but my putter was behaving so that saved me a lot.

    Had 38 points, lost the A Grade comp on a count back. Happy with that

    A frustrating day out on course (what day isn't though) Saturday as I finally had a chance to post a decent righty score, but of course blew it by wiping 2 of the last 4 holes, finishing with 32 points.

    Had a bad case of the hooks off the tee which cost me 4 penalty strokes with hazards / lost balls, and another 2 strokes by just being in a horrible position. Arccos tells me I drove it like a 27 'capper, which is probably generous.

    The rest of the game was reasonably solid, and it's probably the best I've played short game wise, which is especially good considering there were no preferred lies, which I usually need to make decent chipping contact. The Texas Wedge worked really well for me.

    1 birdie
    5 pars
    6 bogies
    4 doubles
    2 triples

    4 fairways found
    3 GIR
    8/20 up n downs
    28 putts

    Righty cap moves out to 15.4, but I think this is my level for now. A better fitted driver and I should be on my way.

    A sad state of affairs when you have a higher hc than me, for whatever reason, even playing one armed!

    I agree, Par is the great equaliser. It is also the format that leaves no doubt the ability to scramble.

    I rate any golf game that starts me on the equivalent of 18 stableford points.

    Par suits lower handicaps more. Higher markers tend to have more wipes that they make up for with 4 pointers. A low marker isn't making any/many 4 pointers, but isn't wiping either.

    You reckon there are a lot of 4 pointers floating around?

    Yesterday was won by a 23 handicap with +1.
    Next best was 19 handicap with square. It suits those who can play and scramble to handicap. It sorts out those who give up because they can't scramble for a point.

    Finished my first round matchup in the A Grade Matchplay Champs.
    Not in Arccos but I wish it was, was clearly the best I’ve hit the ball for a while if ever.

    Played one of our juniors who plays off 1-2, really great match and we certainly carved it up a bit. Going to lay it out because its really a crazy round of golf.

    Opened with a soft bogey after not getting up and down to go 1dn to a 20ft par putt from my guy.

    1DN

    Win with par on 2nd after he put his in the pi$$

    AS

    Halved 3rd with Birdies - I’ve hit my wedge to 6-8ft - he’s made another bomb.

    Halved 4th with birdies - you kidding with this kids short game?


    Won 5th with a chip in for par - he’s lipped out his par putt

    1UP

    Halved 6th with pars

    He’s won 7th with a birdie from essentially kick in

    AS

    I’ve won 8th with a par

    1UP

    He’s won 9th with a 2 putt birdie

    AS thru 9 - he’s made 4 birdies 3 bogies, I’ve made 2 birdies and 1 bogey.


    He’s won 10th with a kick in birdie

    1DN

    I’ve won 11th with a birdie

    AS

    He’s won 12th with another birdie inside 10ft

    1DN

    I’ve won 13th with a par after he almost holed out his long putt for par.

    AS

    Halved the 14th when i lipped out my birdie putt and he got up and down from the sand.

    AS

    Win the 15th with a kick in birdie

    1UP

    From here we ran out of light- agreed to come back the next day (yesterday) to finish.

    Starting fresh he’s almost holed his 2nd on 16th, gimme birdie and i didnt make mine.

    AS

    I’ve stiffed it on 17th, he misses from 25ft and I make from <5ft

    1UP

    Coming to the last I know its an easier birdie hole for him especially the way he’s firing at the flag so i just took 5w and put it in the middle, the young fella in him takes driver and ever so slightly pushed it up the right into a side hill/down hill lie in the rough -I’m perfect 109m out in the centre right half of the fairway.

    I go first and hit it to 3ft.

    He hits it to 15ft and doesnt get it up the hill for his bird and concedes mine.

    Finish 2UP.

    I make that 4 birdies and no bogies on the back for me, he’s added another 2 birdies with 2 matching bogies.

    All up he’s had 6 birdies and 5 bogies, I’ve had 6 birdies and a single bogey on the opening hole.

    WHOOSHKA!!!

    Play the Club Champ next.

    Good luck with the next match, Bushy.

    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.

    Played in Presidents plate round today, rain, more rain, then it rained some more. And it was windy, and wet, and the greens were starting to hold water. I was going ok thru 9, had 16 points and could have been better. At the turn I knew I had to work on keeping everything dry, and maybe grab another towel from the ute. Started the back with 2 birds, and had a solid 1 under back 9
    38 points
    4 birdies
    1 wipe
    And here I was thinking I may have won A grade, which was decided on a count back with 2 players returning 41 points.
    But hitting a 4 over par is always
    Good golf

    Default WDYSTM - September 2022

    17/09/2022, Wolston Park GC (Scr 66 Sl 113 Par 67), Gold Tees, Club Champs Rd 3.

    Strokes Gained vs Scratch


    Scoring: BPBPPBBPP PPXPPPPBP; 39:35:74 nett 67 (+4:+3:+7).
    Played to 8.0. Golflink 8.2 (-0.3)
    Current Champs Placings (Rds 3 of 4): Gross +26 for 11th up from 15th last week. 35 shots back from the leader. Highest handicap ahead of me is 3.2, so that makes my position look pretty good.
    Matchplay Qualifier Placing (Rd 1 of 2): 12th with 16 to qualify. Two shots clear of the cut line.

    Finally got in a couple of practice sessions during the week to improve the iron striking. It was definitely better yesterday, but I'll get out there again this week to try to make it more reliable. Driver was inconsistent, but not too hurtful. The putter was great, and I missed nothing inside 2m, including a couple of clutch putts in the closing holes.

    Not a single birdie in my 3 rounds so far, which is more bemusing than frustrating. It's probably a combination of a lack of greens hit, and tougher pin positions.

    I've looked at my previous Champs results from 10 years ago, and I'm ahead of those, and they both had ordinary finishing rounds, so I'd like to finish this one with a solid, if not good score.
