Golf at Victor harbour on Friday. what a lovely course to play, lots of strategic holes and water.
game was a bit off today and par at last to finish with a 90 OTS.
1xTB
5XDB
6xBog
5x pars
1x birdie.
game is really very consistent scoring at moment as nearly all last 5 rounds have been 17 to 21 over par. really struggling to break 90. short game is not sharp, however 4 DB and 1 x TB were caused by playing too aggressive, and not knowing the course, as hit into hazards which normally would alter clubs and avoid. Putting was good again today, and vison ball performed well.
course was good condition.
travelling to Barossa in morning, might get a game in there with the lovely fine weather forecast high of 21 Deg.1 user liked this post.
Multiplication stab at Warra yesterday. The team performed poorly and we were nowhere near any prizes.
I had one wipe, only a couple of 3-points, total 30 points. 35 putts.
I duffed too many chips (hitting them fat, scraping the ground) leaving long putts.Cortisone in the hip helped tremendously. Nearly all drives were straight and in play.
Weather was great. Kiss winter goodbye. It’s going to rain all this coming week then we’ll be in spring.

Stab at Warra yesterday.
It felt like I just couldn’t do a thing right. Drives weren’t too bad, but the rest was crap.
Just 9 points on the front nine, 15 back in. 33 putts.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.MM stroke & putting at Beacy yesterday.
How’d I play? Crap. Nett 84, 34 putts. The putts just would not drop. All in the group has the same problem.
Handicap score of 24 points was well off the worst and, obviously, well off the winners.
Another stroke onto handicap, nearing a hard cap. Forthcoming fine weather should help reverse it.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Stroke at Warra yesterday.
Gross 99, nett 77 Putting was terrible, nothing would drop. Six 3-putts, only four 1-putts, total 38.
Without all those 3-putts, I would’ve had a decent score.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra yesterday. Although rain threatened, we didn’t get wet. Course was wet underfoot and with a few puddles.
I started the round well, a chip-in, some 1-putts, some 3-points. After 8 holes, I stood on the 9th tee and mused that I might actually have a good round for a change. I had amassed 17 points and with just 11 putts.
Playing the 9th, I pushed my tee shot into a large pine on the right, my ball dropped into long rough under it and I fiddled my way to the green in 5 then 2 putts.
As I stood on the 10th tee, I had amassed 17 points with 13 putts. My tee shot hit a tree trunk on the left and rebounded down the 1st. Second shot was well struck but hit a tree trunk and rebounded back down the 10th. Finally on the green for four and 3-putted.
As I stood on the 11th tee, I had amassed 17 points with 16 putts. Tee shot good, 2nd shot went fishing for marlin with a big hook left. On the green for 3 then 3-putted.
As I stood on the 12th tee, I had amassed 18 points and 19 putts.
So much for my promising round !!! I had more rubbish and a few good holes, finishing with 28 points and with 33 putts.
Another 0.1 onto my capped ‘cap, creeping toward a hard cap just .8 away.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

sometimes its not putter fault, if you hit your approach to green a long way 10m from hole, then have every chance of having 3 putt.Stab at Warra yesterday. Although rain threatened, we didn’t get wet. Course was wet underfoot and with a few puddles.

So many players count score after 9 holes, been very guilty of doing this myself. I used to do this but then stopped because it builds tension and this causes you to force a score and make wrong shot decisions.

sometimes its not putter fault, if you hit your approach to green a long way 10m from hole, then have every chance of having 3 putt.A couple of approach shots were well off the mark but first putts were close. The holes were just unfriendly. Uneven ground near the holes. All in the group had the same problem. The ground was soft and made uneven by previous players’ foot prints. Some missed left, some right, no consistency.

Haven’t been in here for yonks, or at all!
3rd game for 2022 and was expecting to be super rusty.
Kooindah Waters was the venue, the 7th running of the L4G/PJ Memorial Event.
Starting off the 10th tee, playing off 16 so wasn’t expecting much. 3 bogeys to begin with followed by a wipe, 3 putt bogey, par, bogey 3 putt bogey and a one putt bogey to finish the 9 on 16pts.
Began the first nine with a par, (short birdie putt missed), par, bogey bogey, birdie, birdie, bogey, par (short birdie putt missed again!) and finally a wipe, (just to throw the anchor out eh France!) 😛 22pt for 38pt total, brought the GA down from 14.1 to 13.4
Bloody dumb-arse with the Nationals coming up, no flag dropping off for another 5 games!!
Will make defending the Brass Yacht very difficult.

Ha….always said your handicap was too big…even though you haven’t played much. You can put a lot of good holes together on your day and with that handicap it’s a good score. Good to see you aren’t handbraking but it may be that I’m going to have to give you around 8 shots each game. I’ll have to play out of my skin to get hold of the Brass Yacht and you saw the results of our mid year tourney on tbe Murray earlier this year. I’ve got a few more rounds before I travel to NSW and 3 of those are our clubbies so I’ll be trying to play around my current handicap.
Well done on today though. Some of my memories fom 4 years ago popped up on FB when I travelled up. Good times.

Par at Warra yesterday.
Playing par, handicapping is on equivalent stab points. As I stood on the 9th tee, I had amassed +1 (=17 pts) and with 11 putts. Exactly the same as last Thurs. Again, things went downhill but not to the same extent as Thurs.
At the turn, my score was even with 12 putts. I finished with -2 and 30 putts.
Every hole on the back was 2 putts. No 3-putts at all for the day.
The greens had been freshly mown and were much firmer in the fine, sunny weather.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
