It was a windy and at times wet Palm Meadows for today’s Matchplay round 1 vs Kurt aka Sandy

It was tight all day although I was never behind
But with a shot on 16 of the holes Kurt was playing solidly and every time I got a bit ahead he would real me in
1A1A1212 up at the turn
1211 after 13 but then Kurt lost his swing for a couple of holes and handed me 14 and 15 even though I bogeyed them so be 3 up with 3 to play dormy
Then we squared 16 with a bogey double combo and it was all over 3 and 2

What I enjoyed most was that for the majority of the game we both played well and it was very close

Next game in 2 weeks I’m up against another Order member and giving him 15 shots
If he’d been my opponent today he probably would have beaten me (he had 36 points vs my 31)

Next game at RiverLakes is a between game for the Poo

Don’t win(nie) it:)

Certainly aim not to!

How have you been hitting them?
And putting them?

Yep
Will be an interesting day
I’m going to have to play well to have any sort of chance

Was great to catch up with Ink and Mads yesterday at Brookwater with Pig
Highlight, apart from the company, was a drawn team matchplay
My golf though was terrible and finished with 23 points off 11
Could be interesting at Wynnum on Sunday

How you you put the yips into a cupboard? Besides, I’ve a got a cupboard full of favourite putters:)

I wish I had an answer for the yips – they’re still alive in my chipping game, even though it’s improved a lot

Having yips with driver and putter must be a joy!

Driver and tee shot problems largely gone:)

Well that is excellent news!

Weetie – on a roll mate – well done. You’re almost ready to take me on:)

Mind, nothing much to beat. Played Redcliffe last Friday, and started 3,3,2,3,4, which would have been great, except that was my number of putts. Somehow salvaged 30 points (12&18) in a 30 knot south-easterly. Aren’t the last three holes a test in that wind.

Going back today to give it another crack.

Haha – damn you had my mind racing with this numbers! Not so good though as putting stats!
Nathan would tell you to put your putter in a dark place for a few weeks with some stern words and use another one until your preferred putter got its act together!

The last 3 holes into the wind is one of SEQs toughest finishing stretches – brutally difficult and can ruin a good round really fast!

Hope everything works better today mate

Brisbane Fairways at Carbrook off the whites – started off 10
Handicap 8
Stroke round

Started bogey double and 1 point and thought this could be an ugly day
Steadied apart from an OOB slice off 16 for a double and had a 5 over 41 on the back for 16 points
1 birdie and 3 bogeys for a 2 over 38 on the front for 20 points

So finished 8 over 79 and 36 points
Two 8 over in a row is good and always nice to break 80 (even when it’s par 71)

Handicap dropped 0.4 to 8.5

Played at Hills today
Was as green as I’ve ever seen it – the growing conditions here is Queensland are as good as they can be
So it was great to see it in such good condition – relatively of course
We did have a good storm come through at 2am which dumped 25mm on the course so it was a bit damp – bunkers were out and it was preferred lie as usual so that wasn’t a problem
Greens were a bit shaggy but have a good coverage of grass
It was very enjoyable

Had 40 for 19 points on the back then matched that with 40 for 19 points on the front off 10, which was very pleasing

Replaced an 8.3 flag with a played to 8.1
No change to handicap at 8.9

Scoring amongst our group of 12 was excellent with the winner having 42, a couple of 40s, a 39, 3 38s – that’s good scoring
Our group had 42 39 38 38 – I think that’s the highest scoring group I’ve ever played in

Stroke round at Carbrook next Sunday which is the BF Matchplay qualifier so hopefully I play will again
