Played a single stab today at carbrook with PeteyD. Was wet under foot and had a few showers during the round but not enough to be a problem. Played great with a 74 with 39 points.

10 fairways
7 greeens
27 putts

3 birdies for the day too which is always nice. One was a chip in on the hardest hole wich gave me a lovley 4 pointer Was good enought that when i was leaving i was in the lead but dont expect it to hold all day. Either way should drop a bit off the old handicap so am happy


Thought i qould put mine in the right week as well then Grunt

[jimandr]

At Bankstown with the NSW boys and girls today. I said at the start I'd be happy with 30 points. I got 33. This was mainly due to a number of amazing escapes and up&downs. I just cannot hit the ball off the ground at the moment in the direction I need it to go. I'm having next weekend away from golf. Maybe that will help.

Fairways = 10 of 13
Greens in reg = 2 of 18!
Putts = 28, zero birdies, zero 3 putts
Up&Down = 5 of 9
Sand Saves = 0 of 2 out of very wet sand

[Grunt]

Played Eastlake this morning with QANTAS Engineering Golf Club. Had a bad day with the putter. Eastlake greens were way faster than Bankstown yesterday and I lost my rhythym early. Lots of 3 putts on the front 9 (4 ). Back nine was better but the putts were not dropping today, lip outs etc. Driver went well today only 1 poor shot.

[jaybam]

Looks like my 39 points was well enough to win the day yesterday by two points. Ccr was 73 so lost a full shot off the handicap to be down to 4.7 Sorry just felt that i had to tell someone.

[PeteyD]

Nice one JB. You played real solid all day in trying conditions.

[kev]

Played Werribee Park yesterday in fairly cool conditions. Drizzled for about an hour and a half mid way through the round.

92 gross / 71 nett
37 points
30 putts (6 x 1 putts, no 3 putts )
8 Fairways
2 GIR
0 Birdies
5 Pars
7 Bogies
5 Doubles
1 "other"
0 Wipes
3/5 Sand Saves

Again, I did not add anything up along the way, and with 2 lost balls on two different holes giving me a 7 and an 8 there, I thought I was not travelling too well.

Have to start taking a more positive attitude in future!

[Hippins93]

Played a 18 hole stroke on my home course at Allora hit 79 with a 58 nett.
had 29 putts, hit 6 greens in reg, got two birds out of 6. Overall it was to the best round I have played so far.
Down to 18 now.

Cheers

[kpac]

58 nett.

wooof! good round mate, that handicap will go do quicker than a ........... ...........

Nice one

[Coffs_Hacker]

played single stab yesterday at Coffs 35pts - scored better than i played - 2 birds saved the rnd.

9 fir
8 gir
36putts

[BrisVegas]

scored better than i played

you must be chipping and putting pretty well then. Time for some new irons!

[adlo]

Had an 84 off the stick in a stroke round for a nett 67 to win todays comp. Also playing a 4BBB Trophy, unfortunately my partner had a NETT 83 and we still only missed out by 1 stroke on the trophy .

I had an awful display of ball striking, but 7 x 1 putts saved the day. With a crappy 2 GIR for the day I scored very well. If it wasn't for a triple bogey 8 on the par 5 11th it could have been a very special day.

[Moe Norman]

played in the foursomes championship qualifying today.

We shot 73 to just sneak into the 8 team matchplay finals.

Hit it pretty well and I think we will be a good show, we both missed quite a few gettable birdie ooportunities and a double bogey on the 12th killed our momentum when I knifed a 9 iron OOB from the centre of the fairway !

[sms316]

Shot even par at Yowani today with 2 doubles. Jesus Christ!

[Jarro]

30 - 0

[sms316]

30 - 0

Fool.

[Courty]

Club Champs Round 3.

Another 83/ 75. My ball-striking was still poor, but getting closer to where it needs to be. Again it was my short game that saved me from a worse score.

Fairways: 5
Greens: 4
Putts: 29

Unfortunately that probably puts me out of the running to make the top 16. I realistically needed 3 rounds in the 70s to have a chance.

[Grunt]

Bad luck Courty, maybe a good round tomorrow might let it all happen. Best of luck anyway.

[BrisVegas]

Saturday, social hit at Brookwater from the plates. 26 points. Lost 4 balls and generally hit it like a busted arse.

10 fairways
6 GIR
33 putts

Sunday, Nudgee Plate. 76 gross for 68 nett. Hit my irons much better and and avoided trouble mostly. Only one 3 putt, but missed plenty of makeable ones.

10 fairways
10 GIR
32 putts

[LongDownunderGolf]

Generally stunk it up a bit.

Shot +2 for 35 points.

Shouldv'e turned 6 under at worst (turned -2) and then made 4 of the crappiest bogies on my 2nd nine without recording a birdie.

The putter was disgraceful and as soon as the driver misbehaved it all went south. All 4 bogies on my 2nd nine were 1 putts too!

5/14 Fairways
11 Greens
28 Putts
5/10 up and down <40

[goonie]

Had a net 74 - 3 over par on Saturday, was pretty happy considering I started very badly, I hit off at 6.30 and it was cold, I could not feel my hands for the first few holes and started with a triple bogey on the first, bogey on the second, then 8 straight pars. had a couple of doubles on the back 9 too. but pretty good considering my start.

Also very happy due to a new swing change working quite well, just need to work on my shoulder alignment now.

[sms316]

I hit off at 6.30 and it was cold, I could not feel my hands for the first few holes

Where in Canberra did you play?

[goonie]

Hey it was 5* or less and a cold breeze, thats pretty cold for someone from brissy, one guy in my group was wearing a shirt and shorts thou, said he comes from the hinterlands in NSW, so it wasn't cold for him. It warmed up pretty quick once the sun came up.

[Courty]

Club Champs Round 4.

My ball-striking woes continued, however my short game wasn't able to save my score this time. I guess there is some sort of consolation in the fact that only 5 players beat their handicaps due to the double-cut & rolled greens plus a constant 30km/h swirling wind.

Strangely, I seem to have hit more fairways than my previous rounds. But wasn't able to convert it on the scorecard.

86/78
Fairways: 8
Greens: 5
Putts: 31

Edit: I ended up 16th in the nett, but now I suspect that the matchplay is top 16 gross, in which case I missed out by a few places.

[Sasquatch]

I played at Tamborine Mountain Golf Course on Sunday with Mrs Sasquatch & the Yowies. Tough walk but worth it. Greens were in excellent condition & with a few tiered it made quite a challenge. People of SEQ keep the 2nd Sunday of the month in mind for a trip to Mt Tamborine. Excellent Sunday morning markets at the Showgrounds & a round of golf. Lunch at St Bernards hotel if you're lucky.
