    played in south gippsland open mixed day at Lang Lang (the new home of golf today). (course was in terrific condition and greens just a little slower than “normal Lang lang speed) (those readers who have played course will know what I mean)

    been baby sitting grand kids all week so was nice an relaxed with low expectations on out come.
    good process from start and didn’t want to let partner down.

    I played well to game plan and had 80 OTS= 35 points. Lady partner of 14 had 32 so we combined well and had 67 points for a win. (she is also coached by the super coach, so that was a nice connection for us.)

    wife is happy with the nice voucher I won, as will give her more things to buy for new house.

    good part about game was that I didnt have an out on card and even better was very consistent as didnt score worse than 5 on any hole, this is second time this year I have done this in a round and 2 out of last 4 rounds where haven’t had an out, so getting some degree of consistency back in my game.
    travelling this week to country, and back on Friday just in time for club championships next Saturday.

    Soon you will need a name change to ” Do break 80″. Well done that golfer!

    Birdie Blitz

    First full 18 since my latest injury. Camping down at Port Fairy for the long weekend got out Sunday afternoon with one of my mates. Still protecting my knee with minimal transfer of weight through the ball (psychological issue) swung a bit easier and probably down 10-15 yards off the tee but seemed to work OK.

    Front nine: 40 OTS
    Back nine: 43 OTS (2 lost ball penalties when knee started to fatigue)

    No birdies but heaps of opportunities from around the 10-12 feet range just kept burning the edge of the hole so could have been substantially better.
    Absolutely love the course down there. For under $50 green fees to play a course like that is incredible, the coastal views, the layout, the challenge of the links style. Not as polished as other great courses but that is part of the charm. If you are anywhere near there check it out and book in.

    4BBB Stab at Warra today.
    We had 40 points which was ok but well off the winners.
    As miscore now keeps track of social rounds, I entered mine as a social while partner recorded team scores. I had 15 & 18 for a 33 total, with no wipes. I played the front nine with a pink ball and played like a sheila, then switched to a yellow for the back nine.

    As an adjunct to today’s report, the cops had set up a breathalyzer at a roundabout on my way home, both on Saturday and today. On both days all I’d had was coffee and both times they just waved me through without testing.

    That’s a shame……pity they didn’t put your trailer for your cart off the road. You might have to walk then. ?

    The trailer was new when I bought the cart. Perfect working order.
    There’s still a lot of walking when one uses a cart, just a lot less of it.
    I certainly couldn’t play four days in a row if I walked them. But I can with a cart.

    Stableford yesterday at Settlers Run. Playing off 10 for the day and all starting on the 10th hole.
    First nine – 19 points (40 OTS)
    Second nine – 12 points (47 OTS)

    31 points

    A couple of silly brain farts and with a 4 putt …..my only wipe on the 8th hole (par 3)

    Such is life….off to one of my favorite courses at Cranbourne next week.

    Stab at Warra today.
    Mediocre play. 30 points.
    Three pars and one birdie, but also one wipe.

    Stab at Warra today.
    For a change, I started well and banked a few extra points. Until I wiped the 6th, 7th & 8th.
    Three or four 3-putts certainly didn’t help.
    Another 30 point round.
    All my flagged rounds are low thirties except for a solitary 36.

    Oldies’ nine hole this morning.
    3 x 1-point, 1 x 3-point = 16 points.
    Only had a couple of good shots. Start was too early. Time now for a nana nap.

    Stab at Morwell with the Vets.
    Played some nice shots but also too much rubbish. I think it was 3 wipes and some 3-putts. So, to come in with 32 points wasn’t too bad, but could have been a lot better.
    The course was in excellent condition. The weather was a bit cool to start and didn’t really warm up to mid 20s until the end of our round.

    Stab at Warra today.
    12/12 for 24 points.
    About four wipes, a couple of 3-putts, 3-pointers were rare.
    Perfect weather, no excuses.

    Another bloody 4BBB at Warra yesterday. Partner and I started off with matching scores, in points, of 2,2,2,3 but then we started to get some variety. But we both wiped the 8th with the wind causing some havoc. Only 1 point scored in our four.
    20 points out, but some 1 pointers on the back meant we only accumulated 36 points, well off from the winners’ circle.

    Pennant match at Mirboo North today. A little drizzle as I headed out east but none once I got into the hills to the south. No rain at all on the course, just a bit windy.
    I lost my match 3&1 and the team lost, but we’re still in the final next week.
    With two losses, I probably won’t be selected.
