Ventured over to Garfield for today’s stab round.
Just couldn’t get my act together today. I had some good drives but too many stuff ups. While I had a number of 1-putts (didn’t actually count them), and no 3-putts, I lost too many shots between the drives and greens. Three wipes: one was just rubbish, a sliced drive OOB and a drive into the creek.
25 points.I neglected to mention how good the course is currently.
The greens were really good, although a bit slower than what I’m used to. Not a bad thing on those with a steep slope.
The fairways were really good, a pleasure to play from.
The rough was a bit rough, but it is supposed to be.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

Smoldy....when only the best will do30 (2W 6×1 35 putts) – Extremely wet underfoot and hot and sultry, but we were at least able to play, unlike most Brisbane area courses. Weatherwise more of the same tomorrow – and we’ll do it all over again:)

No comp today due to storm damage yesterday.
Pennant tomorrow. Hopefully that course is playable.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Pennant at Morwell today.
Interestingly, handicaps matched exactly across both teams so no ‘strokes given’ anywhere.
We started on the 8th hole and halved our first five holes, then I lost one.
More halves and a few losses until I put a huge slice on the par 3 2nd hole and lost the ball, going dormy 5.
I finally won a hole (4th), then halved the next to go down 4&3.Back to ‘normal’ golf, whatever that is, at Deep Creek next Tuesday.

Correction: I won the 3rd hole, then halved the 4th.

25 (6W 1×1) – what can I say…..I stunk the place up. Did manage a par on 18 to square the match for of only two 3 pointers.
Mediocre run on Saturday, too much scrambling, playing off 15 had 34 points, still flagged down to 15.6 so probably should not complain
Ventured down to the salubrious Queens Park Course in Geelong for a Mixed Gentsomes. Never played Gentsomes before and didn’t really know what I was getting into, invited by a mate who a sponsor.
Struck the ball pretty well – struggled a little with the greens (Very Slow after recent rain). One of our mates struggled off the tee and we had to use 3 of everyones drives anyway got to the last 4 holes and still needed to use 3 of his drives and one of the lady who was in our group. The other two of us still hit shots going for NTPs etc. disconcerting when we have to pick both our balls up off the green and play from 20 metres short of the green. On the last hole I nearly drove a 290m Par 4 and then had to go back and play from 130m short in the crap.
It was a fun day. For the record we had 94 points which placed us equal 3rd for the day and a ball down the line.

You must have been pumped up playing with me and Bump – you’ve struggled since!
