PPPBPbPPb-BBPPPPBPP 72/35pts
Bit of a let-down on the back 9 this morning. Missed too many birdie putts, and made a few errors.
I'm going to break my rule of only posting good rounds in this thread, because today was my first round for 6 weeks, after enjoying parts of an overseas trip.
I probably should be happy with 32 points and some very good driving, which I didn't really expect. But it was as if I hadn't had a break at all. The same old stuff. Slightly off irons, bad chipping and some bad putting. One tantrum after leaving a 50m sand wedge short, for the second hole in a row.
I'm back in the golfing routine, just in time for the greens to be renovated next week, and three weeks or so of putting on terrible greens. So there aren't likely to be any more posts from me for a while, because the likelihood of a good score is low.

Reporting in for 40 on Wednesday, prior to the deluge.
2 over through 14 (12 pars, 9GIR), finished double, bogie, bogie, bogie. Nice work chop, including the 3 putt bogie on the last to lose the cash.

Just another round in my journey to not improve a single bit. For the second day in a row, I was inexplicably drawing/hooking the ball. Maybe it had something to do with body fatigue after long run / gym leg day in the preceding days, but when I went to the range yesterday, there was no sign of it. Despite that, I kept the scorecard relatively tidy, without ever having an extended good stretch. As usual, I don't hit enough greens, and in this round, didn't sink enough putts, or get the long ones close enough. Some wild drives too, so basically all parts of my game were a bit off.
36/35 for -1 (71)
9/14 fairways
13/18 greens
31 putts
5 birdies
4 bogeys

Oh what a spudly spudder I am.
Workmanlike golf through 9 holes, didn’t hit a lot of fairways but had legit birdie chances on 7 of 9 holes. All pars bar 1 bogey. Never really in trouble.
Pint of Brookvale at halfway
Ready to Ride that roller coaster again baby!!!
Opening the back with a birdie on 10.
Followed that with a double wipe on 11… and another for good measure on 12.
Solid par on 13
Chopped for another double on 14
Pin high for two and a kick in birdie on 15
Scungy drive followed by a laced 4i to another kick in birdie on 16
Swipey 9i and didn’t get up and down on 17 for bogey
Biggest drive of the day, followed by a flighted 54* to yet another kick in birdie on 18 to finish.
Disappointed with the doubles but really pumped to finish the way I did.
Had my match play quarter final today. I played very well to win 6/5. Ended up shooting a 70 (par 67) for my best round to date. On to the semis now
Forgot how to swing today apparently. Blade and shanked my way around to 98/82 with a couple of lost balls just to complete an utter shitshow. I did hit some nice drives at least.
I finally broke 80 after my 7th comp round back thank PUC. 14 points front 22 back for 36 at the good old Gympie GC. Happy with the one under for the back nine

33pts of 8 with a bunch of 3 putts and hooked wedges. Oh and a lost ball from a greenside bunker.
Was happy to play a single stab after four rounds of stroke. 74 with 38 points. Good morning out with the putter definitely helped.
Another day, another gag with the righty game...
Struck the ball absolutely great for the front nine, going round in +5, including a double where I was over the back of a par 5 for two. Clearly the short game still needssomea lot of work.
I'd set myself a silly target of trying to beat last Saturday's atrocious left handed round of 87, so only needed to average bogey over the back 9. Did so on 10 and 11, then the wheels fell off. Topped drive went OOB on 12 for triple, then a 3-putt for double on 13. Bogey, par, bogey, bogey on 14-17 meant a par on the last would at least tie it. A decent drive left me 87m into the pin from a thick lie, and what I thought was an awesome knockdown 50° was all over the flag, but somehow fell short and into the greenside trap. The bunker game DEFINITELY needs some work as I needed a further chip and two putts after getting out to sign for a very disappointing 89 (34 points). Furious, but won the 9-man comp by 7 points. Choppers!
Final tally;
1 birdie
4 pars
9 bogies
3 doubles
1 triple
On the plus side, never remotely looked like missing anything inside 4 feet all day. Right handed putting FTW!!! If only I was better with it from range...

33 points today. Couldn't hit the side of a barn with the driver but scrambled well enough to keep it respectable. 3 greens, 30 putts.
Highlight of the day was a slam dunk bunker shot for birdie on the 5th. Probably never do it again in my life 😂
6 holes each of best ball stroke, ambrose and foursomes yesterday. Dunno what we scored, had fun.
Club Champs Round 1 - the course was a heavy 10 after 3 inches of rain during the week. The course was just playable with casual water everywhere, but there was no run, and the rough was diabolical in many places as they hadn't been able to get mowers in.
Started steady, square after 10. Three 3 putts on the back 9 from the fringe meant a 86/75 was carded. T6 in nett, T12 overall.
Sunday - 35mm of rain in 6 hours overnight meant we arrived at the course, did a quick inspection, and abandoned Round 2 without a ball being struck.
Round 3 and 4 next weekend, weather permitting.

First round of our Pennant yesterday at Gordonvale.
Win 2&1
Was 4 up through 8 holes, then a couple of bogies in a row let him back in the match. A bit of back and forth until he fired up and birdied a three in a row to get him back to square through 15.
Almost drove the 4th green after he laid up with iron. Chip and a putt to win and go one up with 2 to go.
Then won the 5th to close it out- disappointingly at the furtherest point possible from the clubhouse.
I was a late call up to the Division 1 A grade side for the NQ pennant weekend over the long weekend.
First up played Ayr on their home track. I had a win 2 up, team lost 4.5 3.5
Then played Rowe's Bay in the arvo. I won 2/1 , team lost 5 3.
We were all thinking we would be relegated to div 2 after Sundays efforts.
Monday morning we played Townsville. I won 3/2 and the team won 6.5 to 1.5.
So in the end Mackay won the flag and Townsville, who won both their games on Sunday, got relegated.
