I went to Aldi today. Carpark and store nearly empty.
I took my own antiseptic wipes for the trolley.
Adequate supplies of everything, except still no toilet paper or tissues.
Polo shirts advertised for last week (Wed) @ $7.99 but hadn’t arrived. Only small sizes left this week. Non-essential.Filled the car petrol tank on the way @ $1.17 / litre. Streets almost deserted.
Do I miss ‘normal’?Did you wipe down the bowser handles before using and your hands after shopping?
Yes, I held the handle with a wipe under my hand. While using it, I noticed a small sign on the pump saying dispoable gloves were available in the shop.
Yes I wiped my hands again on completion of the shop (supermarket) and before driving home.
Only 3 cases reported in this district, so far. It will get worse.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.I usually take a lot of interest in what the local weather wiil be doing over the next few days, because the weather determines whether I might play golf, or not.
But with this current viral isolation and all courses being closed, I don’t really give a damn !
Unless there’s a hurricane on the way. I have a roof over my head, heating and cooling to cover anything less violent.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

If everyone was isolated for two weeks, there should be no new cases beyond that. Then effective quarantine of those infected should insulate the greater population from the virus.
Wishful thinking.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Now that none of us have any golf to play, I thought I’d change the subject a little.
Only a little, it is about covid19 and what we’re doing at home.I’ve been on Wish.com, spending the package that I probably won’t see for 3 weeks . But that’s what credit cards are for.
Some government turd today said that people over 70 should stay home indefinitely. Gimme a break! I like risking my life at my weekly supermarket visit.
What’s everyone else been doing?

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.With all arriving travellers being taken directly to hotels for two weeks, one would help that the aircon systems don’t help to spread the virus to healthy tenants.
Legionnaires disease comes to mind, airborne particles transmitted via air systems.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.The latest govt instructions are: if you can stay home, you must stay home.
So that just calls for one more question: can I do without golf?It looks like I’ll have to do without, the course is now closed.
I think we need to just ride this out for the short term pain it will cause. I know my backyard will feel the pain the most of me chunking my chips in practice.
My back yard might actually get mown a little more often.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Bloody hell!
37 points yesterday and it has cost me another half stroke off my ‘cap.
I’ll be playing off 12 whenever the course re-opens, assuming the dreaded lurgy hasn’t caught up with me and killed me off.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Depends, is the fridge in the garage?
Anyone good at herding cats or training one to get me another beer from the fridge?
Either fridge would do.
I was referring to the backing out garage door issue.
That old chestnut? That was years ago and related to backing in, not out.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra today. Course was very quiet.
16 out, four 1-putts but also two 3-putts. Three no-shot holes.
21 back, another four 1-putts, no 3-putts. Only two no-shot holes (2 pts on one, 1 pt on the other).Total of 37 points will probably trim my handicap further.
No socialising allowed before or after. Sitting at home having a Budweiser and msging you lot.
No flag sticks on course, so I took my own (a plastic bicycle one). Go up to green, plant flag, go back and play approach shot.
Most of the hole liners have been upended, they missed a few. My iron grips (Golf Pride tour wrap jumbo) fit normal hole liners, but not the inverted ones. Hence the need for byo. It’ll be interesting to see how it all goes on Sat when the course is busier.Next thing: the course has adopted Miscore, a phone app that syncs with the club’s Miclub setup. You login using your usual club login (did that on Tues when I installed it) and didn’t have to re-do it again today). Then nominate (in the app) who in the group is my marker, then record both scores as you go. At the end, you ‘submit’ the scores but it only uploads the ‘marker’ scores, not mine. Good thing I recorded my scores on the usual scorecard so the pro shop can enter them. I wonder what happens if I don’t nominate a marker? The system has promise, but it is beyond the capability of many golfers, particularly us old farts.
The Buddy is going down well but a cat is now holding me down thus preventing me from getting a refill. Anyone good at herding cats or training one to get me another beer from the fridge?

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra today. Not many out there.
No flag sticks or rakes, most holes had the liner upside down – when your ball bounces off the plastic, it is ‘holed’.
No marker of the score card, just DIY.
Miclub have brought out a new app to record scores as you go, no card needed. But it requires signatures of both player and marker. I referred that back to our pro shop without any response yet.
16 out with one wipe, 15 back in with another wipe. Bloody difficult without a shot on so many holes.Of course, no bar for a drink afterwards. But at least we could play. For now.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Oldies’ nine hole this morning, before the shut down.
Six 2-points, three 3s for a 21 point total, enough to win the day.
Four 1-putts helped, particularly after failing some 2nd shots.Hopefully, we’ll be able to continue in the coming weeks and months.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.For me…black tees at Yering means at least 2 clubs difference in either the 2nd shot, or the approach shot – which could be the 4th shot – on every hole. To me, that means about 6 holes that I can potentially reach in reg become unreachable without an extra shot.
That applies to lots of us at lots of courses.
