    I dont know what the criteria was but its nice they thought of me.

    Is that graph over the last 15 years?

    About one card a year across the period. I’m consistent.

    G’day! So I played golf today at Kooralbyn. Great course. I really enjoy that place. There’s a hole there they claim is the hardest driving hole in Australia or something. I dont even think its the hardest hole on the course. Had so much fun with the group I was with, chipped in from a bunker on one hole and to prove it wasn’t a fluke chipped in again off the fairway the next hole. If I practiced more I reckon I could be good at this game. I dont have facebook so I dont know what my final result was, but I played in their copperhead challenge which is off the tips. exactly where the course should be played from. If you havent been out there lately, put it on the list.

    Hope you are all doing well, staying safe and are happy and healthy. Talk soon and see some of you even sooner!

    PS. I got a new golflink number, I’ve been officially referred to as a legend in my account, which was kind of nice.

    5 iron of goodness get a run?

    You know it did. Was the source of the follow up chip in.

    Played with Queensland crew yesterday at Sanctuary Cove. Absolutely perfect golf conditions which meant only one thing………… had the pleasure of watching Bump make three birdies in a row. I don’t think he got the credit on the course at the time, it’s actually really impressive the more I think about it.

    Personally I’m finally getting past a frozen shoulder which has been severely debilitating for last 18 months. Definitely seeing more golf on the horizon now.

    Thanks as usual to Mads for organising and great to see some familiar faces. All the best.

    Being the humble fella you are, seems you forgot to mention the 38pt victory. Well played sir.

    Good eyes Commish. I don’t know where that was posted.

    Thanks Weeti.

    Sanctuary Cove is my home course, I’ve played there four times in the last five years. So home ground advantage helped.

    I’m pretty sure it was playing with Bump that spurred me on, it was a high standard cart with him coming second. I had a run of six holes where I put together 19 points.

    Also got lucky with my group finding two of my drives for me that I thought were lost, plus sinking some crazy long putts which always help the score. My handicap is headed in the right direction now although I was surprised to only lose 0.5 so my playing handicap didn’t even move.

    Onwards and upwards now. Hope you are all well.

    Of my two highlights of the day, one was you calling your first birdie.
    The shot you had to sling around onto the green after telling me how close you were going to put it was an absolute standout, then to follow it up by draining that putt inspired me.

    Calling a shot and then making it. I know for a fact I’ve done that at least once in total in my entire golfing career.

    Its a story of good vs evil.

    A tale of the fearful vs the fearless.

    A yarn of the mocked v the conqueror.

    Standing 40m out I always thought I should learn how to hit a wedge, but when you can literally hit it that close and you are still holding your favourite club, why bother?

    I used to think it was the worst thing about me, now i just accept it. At the halfway mark I was honestly on ebay trying to find a spare MP37 5i S-Flex. The world would crumble without it by my side.

    Can you remember what my other favourite part of the day was?

    Easy. Me out out driving you by 50m on the 17th. You love it when that happens.

    I’m sure it was closer to 60.
    That’s a perpetual favourite, so it wasn’t something as special
