ParticipantStab at Warra today.
A bit of a change from Tues. Still no 3-putts or wipes, but eleven 1-putts. I think that’s my best putting round ever.
20/20 for 40 points. Won the day.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

ParticipantAnd now you don’t have to.
There’s a ‘temporary’ link that doesn’t require logging in. Just see the goIf.org.au opening screen.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

ParticipantStab at Warra today. Actually it was “split sixes” (6 x BB, 6 x aggregate, 6 x multiplication), but the pro shop staff, rather than explaining anything, just say ‘the computer works it out’. So we all just complete a stableford card and lodge it.
I had 16&18 for 34 points, no wipes, no 3-putts, only two 1-putts. Partner had less so we’re miles down the pecking order.

ParticipantOldies’ 9-hole this morning.

I get it out there, baby.
That is GPS validated folks
And it handed me one of life’s greatest moments – getting to see the Goldman run after his ball to try and hit it before we could measure it

That happened at a BHIC as well, but I got the laser measurement.
With my fading memory, I’ve forgotten who the unfortunate player was.A number of hall of shame shots from the BHIC days (what ever happened to this prestigious tournament ?).
Robnewys shot between legs into the garden bed next to tee still remains the leader
closely followed by Fe Mick same shot a year later.What happened to it? Well, the course decided that they would replace two fairways (Hills 1 & 3), so the BHIC committee decided to postpone the 2019 event until Feb, which has now just about been and gone.
All it meant on those two fairways was that you dropped your ball off the side of the fairway and played on. It was only a problem for those who actually hit fairways.

ParticipantStab at Warra yesterday.
Front nine was ok, included a wipe but still 17 points.
Back was less than ok, two wipes, 13 points.
Only six 1-putts, but also two 3-putts. At least the greens had been mown but were still shaggy, lumpy and dead slow.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

ParticipantStab at Warra today.
Playing off 16, there’s two no-shot holes and I happily parred them both today. I usually wipe them.
I also had a 4-point birdie, six 1-putts and a 3-putt.
36 points.
The greens were cored last Monday week and haven’t been mown since. Shaggy was an understatement. But with recent storms, ground staff have been very busy removing fallen timber and other debris. For longer putts today, I used a hybrid.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

ParticipantI have achieved my eoy goal with an index of 17.0
Forgive my ignorance, but what does a index of 17.0 mean O.B.?
GA index is your GA handicap = the starting figure for calculating your playing handicap for wherever you plan on playing.

ParticipantVets at Deep Creek (the venue formerly known as Pakenham) today.
Heavy storm activity was promised but didn’t eventuate until we’d all finished. We had a few drops a few times but not enough to get wet.The new layout is quite good, unless you’re walking, where there’s a few long hikes to the next hole. More signs are needed.
Course quality was good although I found the greens somewhat slow.I had 16 & 17 points for a 33 total. A few wipes in there (maybe 3?). Seven 1-putts. One 3-putt when the ball snicked the flag stick and slipped out.

ParticipantPennant at Morwell today.
Interestingly, handicaps matched exactly across both teams so no ‘strokes given’ anywhere.
We started on the 8th hole and halved our first five holes, then I lost one.
More halves and a few losses until I put a huge slice on the par 3 2nd hole and lost the ball, going dormy 5.
I finally won a hole (4th), then halved the next to go down 4&3.Back to ‘normal’ golf, whatever that is, at Deep Creek next Tuesday.
Correction: I won the 3rd hole, then halved the 4th.

ParticipantVentured over to Garfield for today’s stab round.
Just couldn’t get my act together today. I had some good drives but too many stuff ups. While I had a number of 1-putts (didn’t actually count them), and no 3-putts, I lost too many shots between the drives and greens. Three wipes: one was just rubbish, a sliced drive OOB and a drive into the creek.
25 points.I neglected to mention how good the course is currently.
The greens were really good, although a bit slower than what I’m used to. Not a bad thing on those with a steep slope.
The fairways were really good, a pleasure to play from.
The rough was a bit rough, but it is supposed to be.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
