My Christmas present is coming on the 2nd of January.
Where are you playing???
I’m playing as a member’s guest at Sanctuary Cove.
I might even try and not drink too, maybe.Silly man, just don’t try at all. Enjoy the round and I’m predicting a 77 OTS.
I played at Sanctuary Cove as a member’s guest.
It was genuinely one of my very top few best ever days at golf.
Playing with Dad, Placegetter and accepting a very late call up, a bloke who I played with all of the time at Piney who I haven’t seen or played with in too long a time.
So many reasons for it to be the best day, I loved it so much and Placegetter is still the most awesome human in the whole world.Some home course advantage helped him rave to an insurmountable lead of 21 shots by half way. He was just too good in the end.
There must be something to this not drinking business.It felt like all of my Christmases came today so that’s why I decided to post it here in this thread, sounds good yeah?
First hole of the day, smashed 3 wood, flicked up a lob wedge to a few feet for a tap in bird.
I was ready to finish there, obviously the course was going to be too easy.Have I mentioned it was a great day?

A. Yes, good place for the write-up.
B. Less alcohol on course has improved my scores. Questionable about the enjoyment factor, but my liver is thankful.
C. Can you elaborate on how one can ‘rave’ to such a lead… did you go via the Falls Festival?
D. What was you final score? And, how did Dad go?
E. No mention of what you were wearing, or any such lead up, ah … ‘discussion’? WTF?

I did hit big dog soooo much better my last game when I was drinking more than I ever should have, let alone while playing. Today with less drinks it wasn’t as good, I know that I definitely play better drinkered.
I had an 82. Sorry to let you down Commish.
4 over on the front nine and then I had a few doubles on the back. It wasn’t a comp game so the score and shot selection to a large extent was irrelevant. We still always obviously cared and kept score but I wasn’t worried.
Dad was more interested in donating balls to the dams to worry the scorers. He did drive very well though and because I didn’t have his card I have no idea what he scored haha

No need to feel sorry Bump, I’d take an 82 around Sanctuary Cove any day. I’d be lucky to break 110. As for your 2nd sentence, well that just says it all.
In regard to the Benmeister, yes he is all that, still surprises me that he got you by that many though. Maybe you need to drink what he doesn’t to get back in the game. Works for me. Should have slipped him a couple of lime soda’s with that mystery undetectable additive.
Last but not least, apart from getting to play with an old mate and Big Bad Ben, having a hit with your Dad is great. I know I enjoy every round I have with my son no matter how I play. Hope you get to have a lot more games and enjoy the moments together.I played at Sanctuary Cove as a member’s guest.

Answered like a politician; dodge the questions and but gave further information to sway the audience.
So, when do you go for preselection?

A. I was looking for a really random unrelated thread to post this into, but it turns out that the day was better than Christmas so it came in here
B. I play better when I drank more, lots better actually. I have lots of LOLs out loud anyway, but still play better drinkered.
C. was an autocorrect or a typo, I had meant to type race. It was a far less exciting story than you’d hoped.
D. 82. I will ask Dad what he had because I didn’t see his card.
E. It was an Oakley shirt, dark grey coloured back with sort of splashes and radio-like waves of yellow on the front. Grey shorts with my new belt.
Because I had such a big day on New year’s Day, what I was wearing became very much an after thought, I wasn’t 100% sold on my choice so there wasn’t the good conscious to proudly announce what I was wearing.I played at Sanctuary Cove as a member’s guest.

Did this perhaps contribute to your score?
And, one follow up question:
How’s your lawn? Lush and green? Or suffering from lack of water?

I’m sure that it did, I definitely didn’t give it the considered consideration that it deserves.
I suffered badly at the back end of last year and I ashamedly gave up on caring for it as much as other things that needed to be cared for.
While it’s very much back in business now, it’s definitely not back to its full former glory….
It still makes me sad that it isn’t as good as I want it.The front yard is schmicko at the minute.
I have also laid some irrigation lines in the front gardens which the grass will benefit from so good times ahead for the front of house.1 user liked this post.

Although, my spot spraying if weeds earlier this week has given it a yellow n green patch work look.
It’s overdue for a now, but, it’s too hot for me and the lawn to cope with mowing.
Thankfully I have a tank full of water to use to keep it alive now that we’re on water restrictions. First level of such and they’ve banned watering of lawns. We get half an hour every second day to use a hose for the garden.
I’m not that regimented. I’ll water it when I feel it needs it and if it takes an hour or more so be it.

The best part about all this was that I picked up a couple hundred dollar’s worth it stuff from my mate from a house he bought.
I was super excited to make it all work with what I wanted.
I did use a $50 Big Green Shed voucher to get some timer taps and a couple of extra connectors and sprayers.I played at Sanctuary Cove as a member’s guest.

Here I am! Dropping by with clockwork regularity. It’s been quite an eventful few weeks in the office and that day on the 2nd with Bump was pretty much the only break I took from mid-December to now. I valued it a lot, he’s fun to be around and Risty is sneaking long off the tee which is great to watch.
That being said I’m on leave for four weeks now, two weeks with the kidlings before they head back to school then I’ll head down to Central NSW for two weeks and start rebuilding fences with the rest of the volunteer brigade who are currently my heroes.
Back to the golf and it was awesome, honestly comparing Bump’s game to mine would do it injustice, it seemed at times we were literally playing different games. Tee to green for me was indescribable and the putting card of four 3-putts and one 1-putt tells the full story.
Sanctuary Cove is a great track, I’d be glad to host most people there though I will mention that Weetbix was offered the fourth spot and declined in order to play Windaroo?!?! WTF?!?!
Hope you ve all had a good start to the year, for those playing along at home, no I haven’t had a drink. The whisky cellar had some pretty tasty additions though, so 2021 will be a blinder! Love your work. Ben
