Only 3 greens from nearly 60% of fairways? Work on those irons mate, those are the ones that put you in position to score well.

By looking at your stats it looks like your short game saved you (5 up and downs?? 4 for par, 1 for something else?).

Congrats on 38 pts, always good to break the hcap!

[Fishman Dan]

Well done. It must have been that stint away from OzGolf that did the trick!!

[shazza_rs]

Well done Grant.

Played American Mixed Foursomes yesterday with my golf pro as my partner. Gee - he stuffed up nearly as much as me. I just tried to hard to show him how good I could play and played shocking. On the 17th I asked - what am I doing wrong!_ and he just smirks and says - "I've been waiting for you to ask" and told me to stop overswinging - just keep it to a 3/4 swing. So of course for the last two holes I hit the ball beautiful. He could have told me earlier We came in 3rd after parring the back nine after some great saves on the greens.

Pennant today. Not feeling too confident after last weeks dismal effort because of letting the nerves get the better of me. So - after reading my "Golf for Dummies" book - I realised that this dummy hadn't been sticking to her pre shot routine. Now the whole idea to having a pre shot routine is to get your mind and body into the groove and focused on the great shot ahead of you rather than walking up to the ball and thinking - oh crap - I hope I hit this well and that I don't lose the hole and that gee - she's playing well - and gee - what's happened to my swing - and why do I always give my opponent a head start - and how embrassing it will be when I have to tell everyone how badly I lost and blah blah blah blah all the other things that were going through my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So - ( taking a breath) - today - line up correctly - have a practise swing - 3/4 swing- visualise the great shot I am going to play - and hit the ball. Nothing else. Today I won 6/4. Played the best golf I've ever played. Well - for a while anyway. Long and straight. Played at The Dunes in pretty windy conditions and didn't have a double bogey.

Team won - even better.

Bring on next week........I love pennant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( when i win)

Sorry for the long winded post................

[Courty]

Great stuff Reenie!

[AndyP]

Well done, FG. I'm jealous of these courses you are playing regularly too.

Golf for Dummies? What happened to Dr. Bob? He says the same thing.

[TS]

Well done Reenie. does this mean you are officially qualified as a dummy?

I played The Dunes few weeks ago, beautiful course.

[Eag's]

Top stuff Reenie, sounds like things are on the improve

[Flowergirl]

Nice work. Keep it up!

Played at Camden Valley this morning and boy I should not have got out of bed. Had a solid 21 points.
Just had one of those starts where nothing goes your way. Had a solid 4 points on the front nine, 17 on the back. Front nine had been cored last week, I think I had 25+ putts on the front nine. after 3 putting the 1st 2 holes for 2 wipes I was trying to get it close to the pin every time. Pins were in tough positions so I had a heap of bunkers etc. I knew it was not going to be a good day when on the 3rd hole my ball went into the bunker and rolled up the face and nestled in the lip under the grass. 2 shots later it was still in the bunker just further under the lip.
Back nine was much better with a birdie and a par, very scratchy day but there were some positives. Guys I played with said I had handled myself well and thought I came back well to score well (better) on the back nine. They even said the 17 points on the back was without luck. Guess it was just one of those days where nothing comes off and the 50/50's go against you.
Will be back to Mac Grange in the morning to try again.

[jimandr]

Told ya not to play there while the greens are being cored.

[Grunt]

Totally forgot about it Jim. But yes I have learned from it all.

Played Macarthur Grange this morning, slow start but finished on fire wanted to keep playing. Holes played after the 6th hole, I was only 6 over off the stick. Played the back nine in 4 over. Was a great finish to a pretty good couple of days of golf. Had 49 in the 2BBB, hopefully that will be enough for a win.

35 putts
5 fairways
6 GIR

No more golf till next Thursday.

Nice work! Tell us more. Two to the green, one putt OR did you hole an approach shot?

Drove it just past the right bunker and was 225 out. Slotted a 3 wood onto the middle of the green. Drained the 15 footer. Had been having a crappy back 9, so wasn't playing conservative by that stage. I've never eagled that hole before. In fact, I haven't been on in two from the tips before.
