One day I will learn to take my own advice. When I can play again of course.
I always say about my Rusty Old Man, he can’t putt for shit, bit I’ll back his read in every day of the week.
I bet your old man likes a beer. With his Bundy of course.
On a windless day I could reach a position that I could get a clear shot at the green with higher lofted club off the tee on a few of the dog leg holes. Then again, a still day in Portland? not often.
So practice hitting a 15deg 3W with a decent shaft in it off the tee with the shape you want. Should still give you that 180m+ with a good strike instead of trying to bash a driver 200 and only getting 190 all over the place.
The other good thing I found was the Cobra ” 4 wood” I have built is doing the job well for second shots on par 5 holes, carrying consistently mid 160m distances. I have married a 5 wood head ( 17 degree loft) and a 44 inch fairway wood shaft. I can fade and draw the shots. The slightly longer distance means I am hitting into the green with mu 9 iron or PW ( two off my most accurate clubs) . I got 6/9 GIR today.
I only ask because of the above statement. If you are hitting these well and can consistently get the shape you require, they should leave you in a position to use your favoured 9i/PW more often than not to set up par putts with a bogey worst case scenario. Placement off the tee seems to be the key, so the less times the big dog needs to come out and only a 50/50 chance of success with it, why not stick with the higher loft woods off the tee and put the ball in close proximity to where you want it more often than not.

How many Par 5’s do you have that are more than 480M. or Par 4’s that are more than 340M.??? What is the average distance to the corner of your dog legs??
That happened last year. We dealt with it locally and had it contained in a few days.
Will they ever find the grave??
We noticed that on drive down to Surf coast this morning, lots of water in paddocks and very flooded swollen rivers..
next few days are going to be fine, but most of courses seem closed, due to flooding.Interesting that you found a way around the lockdown.. Can you share the secret???♂️
here we go again…..
No, you won’t be going anywhere !
I was intending to play in a golf wekend away from next Friday, but not knowing until Thursday whether that can proceed is too late, and probably won’t be allowed anyway.
On contrary we are going somewhere,. we are on road spend 2 nights in Geelong and have just arrived in Warnambool for 3 to 4 days. nice weather down here.
lots to do here walks along beach, fishing, whale watching, walking dogs at park.
I went to the course, but was told the course is closed, assume they are doing renovations to the fairways or the fairways are flooded as Its unusual for Warnambool to close.
have to try Port fairy on Monday. hoping to get to Portland and have a game with XRman. see how we go.Do you understand the whole State is in lockdown?
That might explain why the course is closed….but I’m just speculating.
They are among us!!!
Got any pricing yet?
nope been flat out and now all the reschedule shit. We are also looking at a Feb/March nationals instead of Oct each year.
Feb/March would be more difficult for me too.
Feb/March nationals instead of Oct each year.
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Would the first week of march be possible for nationals 3-8 March?
Fine by me? but I doubt it will suit everyone. Isn’t that why we went with the October date in the 1st place.
Really sorry to see this team.
Who knows, you may be able to make the next one.? If not, you better make yourself available for 2023 when we are back in Queen Palacejay land.
New reschedule for Oct 2022 now confirmed
Yayyyy!!!!

Had the 1st shot of AZ about a month ago and no adverse affects. Wifey is susceptible to clots so is waiting for the Pfizer on docs recommendation. Mind you, the number of aphylactic problems with the Pfizer is not that encouraging either. On another note, the new stay at home rules in NSW are a real bugger. My home course is within my local LGA…. However, it is also outside the 10km travel distance, so no golf for the time being. ?
Sounds like a personal problem.
Yours.. or mine??
