Oldies’ nine hole at Warra yesterday. 19 points
Yellow tee stab at Warra today: playing h’cap of 6 in lieu of 18.
So much easier to get a green in reg !!
Front nine: 1 bogey, 2 birdies, 6 pars: that’s 1 under par and 22 points with 16 putts (three 3-putts and a chip-in).
Back nine: only 3 pars, bogeys on the other 6 holes, only two 1-putts = 16 putts, 15 points.
Daily total 37 points.Interesting exercise. If I could hit my drives 100m longer, I could readily play to 6.
not a matter of hitting it 100m further .
On contrary, what you have done is exactly how handicap golfers should approach the game and its what the international handicap system allows you to do.
.
ie find the best tee for your playing ability.
in other words play of the yellow tees every week until you can break 80, then move back to red, until break 80, then move back to white , then the blues.Playing off 6 and off the yellows, it was easy to break 80.
I’d need to wear a skirt if I played off the reds.
So, whites it is.
I’ll never get that 100m longer, it’s just wishful thinking.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
No championships worth mentioning in recent years.
Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra yesterday.
17 putts out – all 2s with one 1-putt.
15 back in but there was a 3-putt there on a long green after a pitiful chip.
Points: 15 out with one wipe and one 1-point.
A pick-up and a 1-point with only one 3-point on the way back in.
So that was 31 points with 32 putts.Using mi-score and entering putts as I go, I have an ongoing battle to keep putts under points. A game within the game that tells me so much along the way.

I’ll never get that 100m longer, it’s just wishful thinking.Playing shorter tees ( if golf clubs had them installed , other than red/white most have now) for higher handicap or seniors, might encourage players to persist with golf. It is easier to score when you are closer to the green for your approach shot. My Arccos data tell me so. If I get within 100 m my GIR numbers improve a lot.
The other rule I think golf clubs should adopt is the drop at the side the fairways near the locations of a lost ball ( 2 stroke penalty). It would speed play up for sure.
Foursomes at Warra today.
What can you say about bloody foursomes?
Except nett score 75.5

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Oldies’ nine hole at Warra yesterday. Playing off 22, I had extra shots on 2 holes and finished with 20 points. That’ll cost me 2 off the ‘cap for next time and I didn’t win the day.
Vets golf at Morwell today.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Vets at Morwell today.
Most drives were fairly straight (more than half anyway), but a few barely made 100m (duffed, trees, whatever).
Wiped 2 holes.
The big problem was with putting on the tricky slopes. Having eight 1-putts might seem good, but not when you consider that I also had six 3-putts, one resulted in a wipe but the other 5 all dragged the score on those holes down to 1 point.
End result was 29 points.The course was in excellent condition although the greens were a bit slow compared to what I’m used to.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra today. Lots went wrong, even one off a tree into water (but retrieved the ball).
Front nine: three 3-putts, three wipes, = 12 points with 20 putts.
Back nine: only one wipe, no more 3-putts.
Total for the day: 28 points but a whopping 36 putts.
But the weather was good.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

These guidelines are based on golfers’ average driving distance.
So find your driving distance, then see what yardage that USGA recommend for golfers.
Avg. drive recommended: Tees 300 yards, 7150 – 7400 yards;
275 yards 6700 – 6900 yards;
250 yards 6200 – 6400 yards;
225 yards 5800 – 6000 yards;
200 yards 5200 – 5400 yards;
175 yards 4400 – 4600 yards;
150 yards 3500 – 3700 yards;
125 yards 2800 – 3000 yards;
100 yards 2100 – 2300 yards.So play it forward to the tees that match your game.
Have fun and enjoy the game.

Is there an 18 hole course ANYWHERE!!!! that is less than 4000M???? And I don’t mean a full Par 3 course. That is not a golf course. .
Greens in reg are mostly out of range. Far too often it takes me par just to get on the green, then I need a 1-putt.
I meant, GIR with handicap. Basically, Bogey golf, but not so old. Surely you can reach at least 8 of the 18 in reg?
8 out of 18?
If you include the ‘on rare occasions’ ones, then yes. But usually no.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.4BBB stab yesterday. Partnered with a 10 ‘capper with another 10 in the group. They both hit the ball really well, a pleasure to watch.
We came in with 42 points, enough for a ball dtl.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.West Gippsland Vets vs South Gippy Vets at Warragul yesterday.
A poor attendance by Souths, only 18 players bothered, but their scoring was better than Wests (64 players). Their average was 29 points while ours was only 26.
The course was in excellent condition and the club put on a good feed for us all.
I only scored 30 points, but at least I beat the average.
The weather was kind to us, although there was strong heat from the sun towards the end, high 20s.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
