    First game today since end of September. Felt good to be swinging the clubs again.
    29pts off The Blues at home with 4 wipes.
    Birdie on the 15th after the 7w of godness landed pin high and stopped from about 140m.
    Putting was good and the rest was about what I expected after 3 months.
    A bit sore but looking forward to the next game already.

    Glad to hear that you’re back in the game, Mick

    MM (stroke/putting) with Olinda GC @ Beacy (Hills front, Lakes) yesterday.
    Started slowly with 6 stab points on opening 6 holes, then 9 points on next 3.
    Once we hit the Lakes, shit happened. I had a Bo Derek on hole 20 and followed that with a nasty dozen on hole 22 (2 into the drink).
    End result was a nett 89 off 16: played to 25.

    Today was the Garfield Plate, again playing off 16.
    Highlights: no wipes, no 3-putts.
    Lowlights: no 3-points, heaps of 1-points, total 26 points.

    As for finding a better home for this thread, none of the others seem any more relevant. I’ve asked madam and await a response.

    It used to be simple. All you needed was your GA index and the slope, a quick calc and you have your playing ‘cap.

    From the end of Jan, you will also need the scratch rating and the par. In addition, they have moved the 7% discount from your index to the aforementioned playing ‘cap.

    I might have to knock up a little app for that.

    In any case, here’s my report of today’s effort.

    After two 13 point halves on Tues, I opened with 14 points on the front and followed up with 20 points on the back nine.
    No 3-putts, but four 1-putts (3 on the back).

    If there’s only one thread for this, we won’t be posting in the wrong one.

    Good thought, now stick it in the Practice Range where it belongs.

    But it’s not practice, it’s playing.
    If madam thinks it should be moved, I won’t object.

    Perhaps the front page needs better guidance ????

    We don’t talk about golf on the deck.

    Why not, it’s the clubhouse deck?

    Because the weather changes four times a day and we have trouble keeping up with it.
    Lovely today, stinking hot tomorrow, cool again the day after.
    What happens in between is anyone’s guess.

    This time, I’ve copied my ISG post:

    Round 2 (actually became rnd 1 when the original rnd 1 was cancelled last week due to very inclement weather) of clubbies today. Top 8 in each grade goes into playoffs. It was also MM.
    I was a mile down the list for medal when I looked, but it seems I’m into the C grade playoffs with a 94 gross (nett 75).
    So, another round of golf tomorrow. Nearly every day. Also booked in for Mon and Tues.
    ————————————————————————-
    A chalk and cheese round.
    Abysmal front nine with 5 losses and only one win: -4 at the turn. I later check my stab equivalent score for that nine and came up with just 9 points. No wonder I was four down.
    Back nine was a turnaround. I lost the 10th (beaten by a par) to go 5 down with 8 to go. Not looking good.
    But then I had a string of pars and finished on the 18th with 2 up. Back nine stab equivalent was 23 points.
    Semi final next Sat. against a young buck who reportedly can outdrive me by 100m. If he hits them straight, I’m gone.

    After feeling very dusty from drinking as much as I did, I obviously drove to the course anyway. Round 2 (actually became rnd 1 when the original rnd 1 was cancelled last week due to very inclement weather) of clubbies today. Top 8 in each grade goes into playoffs. It was also MM.

    It does make it a lot easier being against the choppers.

    Hopefully I’ll get a patch of good luck, I think I have earned it

    Interesting that some peanut has transcribed my post from ISG and added his own ‘flavour’ to what I posted.
    So, just be aware that the real OB is OldBogey, not the peanut calling himself Old Bogey.

    I’d bet it’s Max but I have no proof, yet.

    They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but seriously what is the point of trying to be me on the internet.

    You are a sad man, Max just give it up. It’s too obvious

    I really don’t understand why anyone (Max or another) would even bother trying to copy me.
    It’s not even funny.
