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 SundayWynnum is not Brookwater….:)
Very true
Had a weird round at Wynnum with 12 over off 8
6 pars 12 bogeys!
Putted poorly at times
Long game was a bit of everything and cost me the most shots
But pulled it more together and finished 1 over for the last four holes – 6-9 as we played in reverse orderMatch play at palm meadows on Sunday against Kurt – giving him 17 shots! So that will be a challenge
Yep
Will be an interesting day
I’m going to have to play well to have any sort of chanceHe needs them all:)

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 2What 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

Certainly aim not to!
How have you been hitting them?
And putting them?Continue to hit it great on the range and not so on the course. So much so that I had a lesson for the first time in years.
The problem with practice is that once you get into a rhythm, even with a bad swing, you can hit good shots on the range. On the course with only one shot at it, not so.
Turns out what I have not been doing is just that turning, or more precisely, clearing the left hip. When I was playing my best I almost paused at the top of the swing, and was already starting to use the legs and clear my hip. Apparently all I’m doing now is using the arms which is why I’m getting the weak slap shots and a lot of smother lefts.
Went to Redcliffe straight from the lesson, and aside from a shaky first three holes, I really began to hit it well – even putted okay (changed that too). Played with a Member who had to leave after 12 holes which was a pity.
Playing Gailes this Friday in the Dingo, and then on to Tenterfield for four days. The course is apparently in great condition. A fun country track with good accommodation, and lots of apres activities:)1 user liked this post.
Been savaged by a Dingo on more than one occasion:)

Played pretty poorly at Beerwah and lost my matchplay 4 and 3
Didn’t hit many greens and didn’t get up and down much at all
Would have had about 27 points so I didnt deserve to winWhat a strange game we play
I’ve been playing terribly lately with my previous rounds being
94
91
92
82
87
93So yesterday in conditions that were very wet underfoot – although it didn’t rain during the game – I took on Windaroo off 7 and had:
1 over 37 on the back for 21 points
2 over 38 on the front for 19 points
75 net 68 for 40 points and my second best score ever
And if I hadn’t hit a terribly pulled PW on the last hole leaving over 60ft to putt resulting in a 3 putt bogey I could have matched my best ever score of 2 overI had been trying heads up putting but my putting got worse so went back to normal putting yesterday and won’t be trying that again
Two games this weekend at Noosa Springs and Twin Waters so we will see if this sticks a bit or was one of those days
I can identify with those poor scores! I have been playing 87 plus or minus 5 for a few months. Now the wet weather has arrived I expect it will be more on the plus side for a few months! Well done on the last score though!
