How're we going this week??

[Andrew]

As far as the week starting Mon 20th Sept.

I'm out at NSW on the Wednesday & I'm predicting that I'll shoot 40 points in fighteningly windy conditions, winning the comp & being the only person to break my handicap.

I'm serious.

Can we use this now?

Had 41 points this morning in our club's Monster Monday - couple of birdies, couple of 3 putts, hit the ball pretty good with no real shockers.

Down to at least 12 and hopefully a chance of winning a prize - it's pretty breezy on the coast this arvo.

[cazandpaul]

It's always nice to be back on your own course and there aren't any stupid bunkers crossing our fairways like at Coolangatta - all with differing sand.

[Flowergirl]

41 points.............woo hoo!!!!!!!!! way to go!!!!!!!

[Flowergirl]

Well I'm playing in our 4 ball Matchplay final this afternoon. Gee I'm toey!!! Was out in the park across the road from my shop at 7.15 this morning having a bit of a look at the old short game. Just hope I can keep the nerves under control and play my game and not worry about what my opponents are doing. Just gotta play my best and let them beat me if they can!!!
My playing partner is in recovery from leukimia and this is a real "comeback" for her. I so want to do well for her.
Wish us luck!!!!!!!!!!
( today in Melbourne it is 26 - the warmest day by far since forever!!!!)

[AndyP]

Good luck, FG.
Looking forward to hearing about your win.

Hmmmm........ Now how did this prediction turn out.

I played some of the worst golf I have played for years. Personally I blame goughy for making me make a prediction. It can't be my fault.

[Flowergirl]

Results of the big Matchplay final..........we never got to more than 2 up all the way through. We would get to 2 up and then the next hole they would claw their way back. So we are 1 up going into the 18th. My partner duffed her way up this very long par 4 ( don't ask me the yardage - I just know that even the men struggle to get on in two) so she was out of it and one of the other players hit hers in the trees. I hit a great drive- then as good as shot as I can within 20 mtrs of the green ( huge tail wind). My opponent is about 100 mtrs from the green for 2. She's one of the old ladies who can't hit very far but boy is she accurate!. She lands one 5 feet past the pin and my chip shot lands about 10feet short of the pin. I putt and just miss - she gives me the putt so I am in for 5.
So here is the best putter in our club ( she always win the putting comps) putting to start us all over again on the first - and she misses!!!!! Not even close. It was such a tight struggle and so exciting. We all played so steady - AND I'M SO GLAD WE WON!!
Played American Foursomes yesterday - Net 74 - enough for a ball - winners had 72. Hit some great drives and fairway shots but aroubd the greens couldn't concentrate - think I used all that up on Tuesday!!

[McMw]

[ben]

Flowergirl,

My wife loves roses

Well done on the win! Fantastic news!

[amanda]

Not bad - net 76 in our MM on Sunday - I've made a chipping/pitching break through this week so hopefully it will translate to the weekend.

Breakthrough???? Share your secret.........still my biggest problem.

[amanda]

FG - send me a PM with your address and I'll photocopy the article & post it to you (from the most recent Golf For Women) - or you might be able to get it off the Golf Digest website.

I just did a quick browse of GFW on the GD site and the article isn't listed - I can post a copy on Friday.

[AndyP]

WE WON!!

Great stuff, FG.

Hopefully the OZgolf matchplay form continues. I believe Courty and I have matchplay finals soon, and Jaster has an inter-district day. [-o<

So here is the best putter in our club ( she always win the putting comps) putting to start us all over again on the first - and she misses!!!!! Not even close.

Did you point her to Rotella's "Putting Out Of Your Mind"? I'm reading it right now (Thanks Iain). Good stuff.

[Onewood]

Congrats FlowerGirl send yourself some flowers

Played Lakelands today with Iain Mat and Jim A

Onewood 83/7=77
Iain.........88/16 = 72 (this handicap will go down when he gets back into comp rounds and starts putting some cards in )
Mat. 74/5= 69 (hit the ball well, finished with 2 doubles in the last 4 holes)
Jim A 85/10 = 75 (cost me 2 beers we play for 2 beers every saturday )

Sum it up!!! playing off 6 you need some birds in a round, which I failed to do today

Great wheather, great course, great company and no work what more can I say

[AndyP]

Glad you enjoyed your day, Kev.

In case you cared, the course I did instead of playing was relatively interesting.
