Only 10 strokes to go Weeti. You have plenty of time.
It’s not quite that far
Had an 8 over 3 games back and a 9 over yesterday so par is 8 shots away
I hope I get there sometime – feels like it has taken a very long time indeed

Is there a driver backup plan? you might not need a driver on every PAR 4 and 5.
Plenty of hybrids off the tee and irons at times as well
I don’t play the mini driver so much off the tee as if the 3h 210m or so isn’t the right layup I may as well.hit driver
Mini Driver ? What loft are you using in mini- Driver and Driver? I was thinking maybe increased loft will help control the side spin issue.
what does your Arcoss stats tell you between driver and hybrid?
That’s two sensible questions in a row. OK you alien body snatching piece of shit…. What have you done with the real INK???

My Arcoss has been on mute for quite a while now
The GPS wasn’t registering properly and it was useless
And one of the sensors has diedDunno whether I will try and resurrect them at some point or not
My GPS readings though indicate that 3 hybrid is a reliable 200 to 210 from the fairway and a bit more of the tee
Driver lately has been about 230 to 240m generally

12 degrees SLDR Mini Driver
It’s a bit of a beast
At some point I’m going to have to test it off the tee more – could be that it’s almost as long as my driver and as you say the extra loft may make it a more reliable fairway finder
Was it that mini driver that you flushed on 10 at Royal Pines from 110 out?
That was his putter.. Correction…. “Texas Wedge.”

It was indeed
Flew like a bird
I think you are exaggerating a little how far out I was – was more like 160
I just channelled Goldy in my club selection, that’s all1 user liked this post.

And giggled at what was about to happen:)
Played Pacific with 11 other intrepid Queenslanders today in fine conditions. Course was a bit rough – preferred lie which I used quite a bit although most lies weren’t terrible just a bit scratchy. Greens were sandy and still recovering from coring – but it’s that time of year and I think they took advantage of when they were members only for covid to get it done so no complaints.
Was a strange day because I didn’t play terribly well but also not terribly badly either and with some good putting could have had a very good score. But positively I had nothing worse than a bogey all day (no birdies though), and finished with the same ball I started with.
6 pars 12 bogies off 11 for a
43 16 back
41 19 front
84 35 result9/14 fairways – better than it felt but only 1 dropped shot from a topped 3h on 10 our first hole. Couple of other less than stellar tee shots but overall they were pretty decent.
7 GIR + 3 texas – again better than it felt and many very long putts were left for me to mess up. Dropped 1 shot from a pushed 6 iron on 1 after a cracking 260m 3h off the tee (big sloped help on that shot). Wasn’t hitting my distances very well and got away with a couple of thin wedge shots into greens. Overall not terrible but so much margin for improvement still.
2/11 up and downs – not great but:
- {content}
0/4 bunker shots but the shots were solid, apart from 1 that came out much softer than I expected but it did come out
0/1 LW pitch over a bunker that I struck very well to about 8ft so happy with that
0/1 PW chip but after a big pushed 6i left me a long way from the flag and it was a good aggressive chip, just a touch too aggressive
2/4 Texas – which along with 36 putts shows much of the problem today was the flat stick- {content}
36 putts + 4 texas – not good and didn’t drop a long putt at all, although saved a few pars after weak first long putts
Will flag and may squeeze me under 10 – was in Pacific’s comp so won’t know until a lot later

Thanks Della – I’m replacing a flag this Sunday and then have a little space
8 would be amazing – not sure I’m playing that consistently but hope it comes togetherWe have ladies in our group – Kylie plays both the Brisbane Fairways and most of the between games and she and Sharon are coming to some of the Sunshine Coast Nats replacement next month
We have 5 ladies members at Brisbane Fairways
