Week commencing 5th May 2008

[Shaneo]

g'day for another week guys and girls.
hope everyone had a good weekends golfing

my happenings on the weekend.

Pennant yesterday at Waverley Golf Club.
ah by far the hardest course we'll play all season as the fairways are only 10 mts at the widest part.
In saying that they have only got 6 faiways as the other 8 are mud.

f/ways - 7/14
greens - 11/18
putts - 32
pars - 8
bogeys - 7
doubles - 1
birdies - 2

Played obsolutely shite house and still ended up having a half.
Should have dropped 4 easy putts but not to be.
Team had a half also and other results went our way to.
All we need is to halve our next match and we're playing in the final, so excited.

Played in the monday comp today. Not too bad except some disapointing putting. 78 for 35 points.

10 of 14 fairways
11 of 18 greens
a huge 36 putts

Had fun and thats the main thing Good luck with your scores this weeke everyone. Play well.

[Jarro]

Nice shooting JB

How are the new irons/bag going ?

[jaybam]

The bag looks sharp and am starting to feel like i am getting the hang of these irons. Was a huge step going to these shafts. A lot more different than i thought it would be but still fun. Love playing around with the golf equipment. Thanks again for the bag as i said it looks good

[Jarro]

So the rifle shafts are giving you the higher ballflight you were aftering*?

*sorry about the Alo-ism

[jaybam]

Yup seems better. Alo was at carbrook this morning as well but playing with some family. The people you run into when playing golf huh lol.

7 over par and you still managed a half in division 1 pennant? My goodness, standards have slipped a long way.....

But Jack, it's the "highest level of amateur golf in Australia" is it not ?!

[Webster]

of course it is.

you can shoot 9 over in Sydney and win!

[3oneday]

You better come up then

[Webster]

I wouldn't lower myself to playing on those crap Sydney tracks champ...

[sms316]

Wouldn't be any good in Canberra. The standard is extremely high here.

Wouldn't be any good in Canberra. The standard is extremely high here.

And the ACR's are unrealistically low.....

(you would get flogged playing pennant week-in week-out down here big boy...)

[sms316]

(you would get flogged playing pennant week-in week-out down here big boy...)

If the ACR is too low then I would be playing off more than I should be.

[jaybam]

Sounds too bitchy for me to try and venture either place Think i will stay up here in qld ( but queitly barack for nsw )

[Webster]

Shaneo,

The course may be tight:



but hows the serenity on the back nine! :



you get to see some good players though...

[Grunt]

Wow that is more powerlines than Mac Grange!

[Webster]

Wow that is more powerlines than Mac Grange!

But the atmosphere was electric:

[Grunt]

Jack, you would know the place buzzes of a saturday morning. I remember that from Mac Grange.

[jaybam]

Do the members there glow in the dark after a round???

[shazza_rs]

.....my happenings on the weekend.......

Sorry to be a bit of a bitch shaneo but if these games are being played on the weekend, the dates would be 3rd/4th May.... so they should really be posted in the previous weeks thread. I go to look at who has started playing in the week and i'm always reading your posts from the previous week.....

Toowoomba (Middle Ridge) - 5/5/08 - Single Stab
----------------------------------------------
I had 35 points (19 and 16). Didnt keep stats cuz i was playing in my second round matchplay. I was playing a guy off 20 (so 9 shots to be given). Match was pretty close all the way through. I ended up losing 1 down. I was going okay but then i had to give a shot on a 120m par 3 (ss index 16), my par wasn't good enough for a half. I ended up winning 17 to be all square on the 18th. I had to give a shot (my index 1 hole). Not happy Jan. So my bogie 5 matched his bogie 5 but he had a shot. Bugger!

[Eag's]

Bad luck shaz but well played anyways.

I wouldn't lower myself to playing on those crap Sydney tracks champ...

and your head wouldn't fit across the border ?

[Shaneo]

7 over par and you still managed a half in division 1 pennant? My goodness, standards have slipped a long way.....

it's not so much the standard thats dropped, it's the state and condition of the course.
it was terrible, we shouldn't have even played there, they should have moved us to another course.
