    The other game was a lock too, until my mate had his kid’s party three weeks after her birthday.
    I mean who does that?!?

    I’m in some good form at the moment too.
    I only missed 2 fairways at Glades, which was my warm up game for Thursday.
    That will then be a continued run into my future home course where the game really counts.
    It will be my best game there by a long way.

    I will be coming off five weeks on the abstinence wagon on the 7th, so should be in real good shape for morning golf on the 9th. Have I mentioned I don’t like morning golf…..multiple times……oh, okay I’ll be there. Just make sure someone reminds me the week before to get the names down for as late as possible in the a.m. Looking forward to catching up then.

    Ah yes – your traditional sober January!

    We will remind you – both about getting the names down and about how much you love early starts!

    Can’t wait – it’s not that long away now

    You make the rules, Up so the time you get to get our names down is the time we get to play.

    I’m happier for later than stupid o’clock too, it does make it easier if I’m not leaving before the girls are up.

    I will need to come in with a couple of swing thoughts for the irons, otherwise I am super keen and very much looking forward to one of my favourite days of the year

    Played rubbish at Indooroopilly President’s (Red Blue) course today. 28 points off 11. The greens were in very poor condition 5 weeks after being scarified which didn’t help me, but I played pretty poorly too.

    1 birdie 6 pars 3 bogies 7 doubles 1 triple

    5/14 fairways – dropped 2 shots with driver which was otherwise pretty good, and 1 with a 3h that found the water at 240m straight down the middle of the fairway on red 7.

    4 GIR – dropped 3 shots from bad wedges again, 1 from a bad punch and 1 from a fat bunker shot. Didn’t hit the ball badly overall but paid for every mistake today fully.

    3/26 up and downs (not a typo) – 11 shots dropped with the thin lob wedge popping up about 5 times costing me 4 shots. Thinned a SW bunker shot which cost me 2 shots. 2 PW chips were decent shots but not down. LW lob and LW bunker shots were very good as both were short sided, but not down.

    31 putts – missed 1 short putt but otherwise wasn’t too bad. But reading where the ball would bounce around on its way to the hole was a challenge.

    I’m about to see my 4 Nats flags hit the bottom of my 20 so I could start shooting up again.

    Good to see we are both hitting our straps at the same time. Might make for an interesting contest in a few weeks time. And, that upstart Bump will come along fresh from no golf and spank the pair of us – maybe a better ball match of us against his nibs might give us some hope.

    Lol – could be our only chance!

    But I won’t begrudge him the win if he takes us

    Oh God! What have I done now!!

    Okay, a couple of swing thoughts for your irons:

    Don’t SHANK it!

    Don’t BLADE this wedge!

    Does that help? You’re welcome.

    Come to think of it – why do I need all the other topics on this site?

    I’ll just use this one for everything – simples!
