Yep….and sometimes they answer to “Biatch”. 😉
•Inaugural Victorian OOM Putting Champion - Long Island 2011

•Hole In One - 7th Hole Portsea GC - 9/10/2012
Best ever score off the stick - 74 (Gardiners Run 10/12/2020)
Masters Champion 11/4/2022Played Pacific in their stroke comp today off the whites
Had 10 shots available but needed 15
33 points1 birdie 7 pars 7 bogies 1 double 1 triple 1 quad
8/14 fairways – drove fairly well today, although Pacific requires hybrid or iron a lot so 6 of my tee shots weren’t driver
Dropped 2 shots from a topped wet hybrid, but did put some pressure on myself with 2 sliced drives6 GIR – some really good shots today into greens and another 4 holes were just off. But still managed to drop a lot of shots from needing low shots and hitting them poorly
Dropped 6, 4 from hybrids, 1 iron and 1 punch3/9 up and downs
1/2 LW pitch – no dropped shots
0/2 LW chips – 2 dropped
0/2 LW sand – 2 dropped
0/1 PW chip – 1 dropped
2/3 Texas – 1 dropped34 putts – 2 3 putts. Greens were very fast today and the 2 3 putts were from over 40 ft so overall happy with the putter
33 points is a chance of being a flag

darn those double, triple and quads ruined an otherwise great performance.

The quad was an extremely ugly performance, and following it with a double involving 2 rubbish punches from the trees in a row ended any chance of a good score
Frustrating bloody game
Just gotta focus on the positive which was a lot of really nice approach shots – that’s where the good scores in the future will come from
Hopefully can build some consistency around the full swing improvements I’ve been working on
Played at Oxley today off 7, which at Oxley meant 5 shots on the back which we played first, and 2 shots on the front
Had 17 back but only 15 front for 32 points and no flag
2 birdies 7 pars 5 bogies 3 doubles 1 triple
10/14 fairways – 1 dropped shot but overall drove really well
6 GIR – dropped 2 shots from poor hybrids and 2 from irons mixed in with some very good full shots
5/13 up and down – 8 dropped shots did most of the damage to the score
31 putts – 1 3 putt
Overall played ok for quite a lot of the game but a few shockers cost me a potentially decent score, as did a bogey train run after the turn into the front nine

Played Caboolture today off 10
17 41 front
17 42 back
34 83Handicap out to 9.7
8 pars 8 bogies 2 doubles
5/13 fairways – 2 shots dropped from hits into trees
4 GIR – plus 8 Texas – 1 dropped from a toed 8 iron on 1 after the club hooked up in the grass on the backswing and I didn’t stop
6/14 up and down – 8 dropped
31 putts – 1 dropped from a short miss after a good bunker shot on 18
Not bad and 5 pars in a row from 9 to 13 was good
Hills next Sunday
Hills in the wet off 11 today – off the whites
Poor front with 3 7s for 11 points 48 shots
Better back 20 points and 40 shots
31 from 16 over 88Hills was greener than I have ever seen it
10 FIR – 3 shots dropped with driver including 2 from a lost ball on 4, plus 1 dropped with 7i behind a tree on 5
3 GIR + 10 Texas – 2 dropped from irons and 1 when a thin MD finished behind a tree on 1
6/14 up and downs
5/10 texas – not so good
1/3 PW
0/1 LW
Greens were very slow and bumpy which didn’t help31 putts + 10 Texas – not great putting, but missing greens left lots of long putts
Putter needs some workRoyal Pines next weekend and we are sharing the whole course with 3 other social clubs in a mega comp which will be fun
Rubbish 20 over off 9 for 25 points at Royal Pines
A few poor shots but mostly just missed greens by a little and had big hills to putt over and didn’t convert
Frustrating day but great to be out there with 3 other clubs taking over the whole course

More rubbish at Windaroo on Friday off 9 – 28 points and 17 over
Short game involved a lot of bunker shots but I got 2 out of 6 up and down so that was ok
3/8 of the chips and TexasPutting was pretty crappy
Potentially good round wasted, 20 back, 10 front after 5, then 3 wipes in a row and a par to finish for 32 off 8 at Oxley

Sounds like my round today at our OOM. Shot gun from the 2nd hole…..wipe 2nd…third…and the first when we got back to play it as the last hole.
10 points front nine

18 points back nine.Was particularly disappointing as I was 5 over after 14 holes and then found a way to totally stuff up the next 3 holes even though the tee shots left me with work to do but should have led to bogies at worst rather than doubles and a triple
Such is golf
