    Stab at Warra today, in strong E winds.
    How did I play? NAGA (almost).
    34 putts wasn’t too bad considering the wind was blowing our balls across the greens.

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

    Stroke at Warra yesterday.
    Nett 34 out, nett 44 back. Damnit !
    No 3-putts but only four 1-putts.

    course should be in good condition after Super 6 event in mid December.
    BUT did you break 100 for the day

    No, I didn’t.
    There’s a pro-am tomorrow, so the course is still in excellent condition.
    No excuses except for the wind which affected putting more than anything else. I just kept hitting trees.

    I feel your pain. The strong easterly winds were a curse. the best that I could figure out was to curve it into the wind and allow the ball to straighten out in t. The par 5 #16 hole at our course runs West to East. With the wind blowing hard it is a par 6!

    Are the easterly winds due to the annual upwelling which occurs along your coastline about this time of year.?

    I am not sure about the wind direction being related to the up welling. It strong though, even for here.

    Oldies’ nine hole stab yesterday morning, before the heat.
    Two points on every hole. A couple of 3-putts.

    Stab at Warra yesterday. Crumbled on the last few holes to just scrape in with 30 points.
    A couple of 3-putts didn’t help my putting stats – 33 putts.
    When I left the course, my car insisted that it was 38° outside.

    Stab at Warra yesterday.
    It took a few holes for the driver to learn to hit straight.
    Scored the usual 30 points with 29 putts.

    You must be a good chipper and putter to have so few putts per round OB. I would be very happy with 29 putts (= 7 one putt results per round)

    All too often I fail to get on the green so I need to chip it close with the next, then a 1-putt is needed.

    Stab at Yallourn with the Vets.
    Wiped 3 or 4 holes, lots of 1-points, only 1 3-point. End result – 25 points.
    I blame it all on the early start, going to bed when it’s still daylight and getting up before dawn, in summer !

    Another stab at Warra today. Only a few drops of rain, not enough to be annoying.
    Front nine was good with 11 putts (that’s only two 2-putts) to get 18 points including one wiped hole.
    Back nine was another matter. Three 3-putts but a chip in on the last kept it down to 19 putts for a 30 putt total.
    Even with a 4-point birdie on the 18th, I only managed 15 points for a 33 point total.

    Why can’t I put two good nines together?
