Nice one Joe. Good luck in Dorset.

Not as good today with only 29 points. Chipping and putting were pretty good but the longer shots were too wild unfortunately, so it didn't really matter how good the short game was.

35 points in the Redland Bay Cup, this included 4 wipes, it really was a round that should have been much better, pretty disapointing really.

Played the Fairbairn Open. I am now .4 closer to hard anchor.

38 putts Saturday, 39 putts Sunday.

My two best shots were a 106m SW to a foot (provisional after knifing the first pitch), and a 161m 6 iron to 3 foot, inside the NTP to win a years supply of beer, except again, it was a provisional after a shanked tee shot.

FML.

29 choppy points Saturday but it felt better than that.

Chipped in for birdie which papered over some cracks.

30/10/2023, Eynesbury, White Tees (Scr 72 Sl 132 Par 72), Social.

Strokes Gained (SG) vs Scratch.


Scoring BPBBXBbPP XPPBBBXPP; 41-44-85 (+5:+8:+13).

Wasteful of good positions on the front nine and burned a few edges on the back nine with the putting; sanded greens didn't help with that. Things got tougher on the back nine too with the wind getting up and fatigue, and resultant short fuse, on day 9 of my trip setting in. I'm happy with the round overall, but could have done without the blowout holes, particularly the triple.

32 Points on Saturday in something they call a stablebrose. Is a mix of Ambrose and Stableford where you all tee off, choose the best drive and then play individual stableford from there against your individual handicaps (except par 3 - where all play).
Feel I did not hit anything near the middle of the irons and rarely got close to the middle of the driver but did chip quite well and had a few one putt greens, which helped my score.


Then decided just to try to walk a few holes for a social game on Sunday afternoon (have not been walking when playing comp due to the leg injury so relying on carts as I am not sure I can keep up) and played so much better. Shot 44 off the stick with 5 bogeys and a triple after decided to sacrifice a ball to the water gods. Chipped ok again and managed 15 putts but holed a lot in the 3 - 6 foot bracket.

The game is slowly getting there and the next step is for me to start walking 18 holes and not feel guilty about walking it (currently have a guilt trip because so many use the carts, concerned about slowing people down).

Funny the days that just pop up out of nowhere where you have almost absolute ball control, and then even when you don't you could get up and down out of a plastic bag inside a ball washer.

Played pennant on Sunday at Mareeba, and dominated from start to finish.

Regulation par to square the first hole before hitting a 169m 6-iron to 2 inches on the par 3 next, then chipping to another 2 inches for birdie on the par 5 next, 2up through 3. Chunked a chip on the next and lipped out the par putt from 15 feet for bogey, but then parred the next 4, before another lipped out par putt, even par with the card and 2 up through 9.

Another 2 pars, then made a 12 footer for birdie for 4up with 6 to play. 2 more pars sealed the deal for a 5/4 win, 1 under through 14 holes.

7/10 fairways
9/14 GIR
21 putts
5/7 up N downs

3 birdies
9 pars
2 bogeys

ALMOST makes you want to play this game semi-regularly.

Almost...

It’s a funny game
