    More frustrating rubbish today for 30 points at Robina Woods from a shotgun start off 15, playing off 12

    Started double birdie par bogey
    The the front nine was 7 bogeys followed by 2 doubles
    Finished with a wipe to put the cream on the cake

    My short game is improving in the sense of not hitting any mishits but my touch isn’t good enough and I didn’t make any putts of note today – just a couple of 4-6 ft 2nd putts

    30 points with 2 birdies is crap

    Tee wasn’t too bad although a bit of luck saved a 3h

    Dropped 9 shots from poor iron and wedge shots – very very bad

    8 over on the short game with only 2 up and downs despite plenty of fairly straightforward chipa

    You went out there and try your best. Seriously, I would be absolutely super happy if I get 30. Wow, you are very lucky, you golf different course every week. You must know a lot of movers and shakers golfers.

    We just bribe the clubs! ?

    30 isn’t a terrible score I suppose but it was a very frustrating game as it swung from excellent to rubbish from shot to shot – particularly the large number of terrible iron and wedge approaches to greens

    Better sharpen up Slick before you get to The Flats – don’t need another chopper in our four as that’s my role.

    You’ll be 2 shots better than me then so I’m taking over chopper duties!

    Weeti is the club mascot stalwart for a social golf group based in SE Qld. They play different courses each couple of weeks. I think it’s because they’re not allowed back to a course due to shenanigans. Something to do with gumboots, goats and, ah, I’ll let you use your imagination…

    Be very careful with the imagination – could be very upsetting

    My game this weekend will knock off a played to 7.3 that I had at Palm Meadows, on 31 July 2016.
    Then our game at the Flats will drop off my 6.0 from Royal Pines in September 2016.

    But then I will still have a score from November 2016 in there for some time yet
    Good times

    Isn’t there something in the new world handicap system rules starting 1 January that said any games older than 2 years on a GA record would be wiped? Something about having to then the resubmit 5 cards to establish handicap under the new system?

    I could be dreaming, or making it up.

    It could be the first issue to discuss in the rules sub forum.

    I could just be making content for this forum to look busy.

    Maybe the answer is simple. You need to play more golf?

    By the time you realise this part of my signature doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

    If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm.

    Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

    Meditation makes doing nothing quite respectable.

    is that mean if I have a break from my partner, golf for 2 years, my hcp is still the same?

    I am thinking one that has had a run before.
    The Gold Coast courses are more of a fun party, colourful type of attire compared to the more traditional elegant attire that will get the nod at my future home course.
    At this point I have this planned ….. dammit, I am still trying to work out how to do photos

    And, if @Deege sees this… Should I wear my use or white belt with this?

    Just wait until after you finish studying, the kids have grown up and moved out……..actually forget it, you’ll either be too old or unable to afford a membership by then!

    Postings pics is a PITA. Nice to see you won the battle.

    I think we discussed this previously… Isn’t the rule blue and green shouldn’t be seen unless there’s a colour in between?

    So, white belt?

    would there be a better colour option to add to the mix?
    I can look at;
    red
    orange
    yellow
    purple
    green
    navy blue
    red with black ladybeetle spots
    a few different ones of coloured stripes…

    navy could possibly work, the thought with that Federation Blue was to match my sunnies, but navy would match the hat.
    alternatively, any of the above plain colours will act to break up the look completely….

    You have posed some very good questions there Hack, you’re a good man.

    So, in the absence of anywhere fun for me to document my updates and progression, I will just use my #twinnings thread to update the house.

    I have been playing with some website I found where you can plot your way around each hole with distances and alignments and all that so I now have my tee shots mapped out and sorted to know where i need to put the ball for the best chance of a par round.

    disappointingly, there are only a couple of times where I will be teeing off with Ink’s head, most of the holes will be big dog.
    I will be making use of Ink’s head on 1 though, as shown on the attached
