    I hit some balls into my back yard net with my TS2 29 hybrid. It was fun! I visualized it flying down the fairway in perfect control.

    I said that last year – that everyone, sooner or later, will get infected. The vaccine does not provide immunity but it does pre-arm the immune system to attack the infection immediately instead of waiting until the body has been overrun. The outcome is that infected people do not get as sick.

    The government objective is to prevent, as far as possible, for the health system to not be in crisis and to be able to cope with the worst cases. Hence governments world wide are pushing for everyone to get vaccinated.

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.
    Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.

    There is some evidence that vaccinated people that get infected end up with even stronger immunity. Possibly making boosters unnecessary.

    It will be interesting to see what the case numbers will be in Victoria in 4-6 weeks. If it is in the 1200 mark by then, it will solve the debate about if Gladys was too slow to lock down, once and for all.

    Meanwhile in fantastic spring weather rural courses remain closed.

    Thanks Geoff, back at you!
    I am going for a bike ride around the lagoon, with hundreds of others and my daughters and their children, rather than meeting in the relative safety of my house. As you know the wind always blows down here and ventilation inside ins’t an issue. Only the direction and speed varies. Open a few doors and hypothermia isn’t far away.

    I just heard a bit of Dan’s waffling during a news bulletin.
    Something about waiting on numbers early this week to decide whether to open up regional Vic this week or next.
    Is he hoping for something greater than zero as an excuse to keep us locked down?

    Caravan is loaded up and restocked, just waiting for Dan to say GO to Regional Victoria (and beyond) . they badly / desperately need your support folks, get out there and support the businesses, because they might not (most wont) be there after Christmas.

    Question….. If regional Victoria is mostly free of Covid and I presume would like to stay that way, but the Greater Metro area of Melbourne is shall we say the more infectious and major contributor to the spreading of the virus, why would your Premier say to those in Greater Melbourne, “Off you go to Regional Victoria and beyond because they need your $$$’s”? Mind you the only beyond is NSW cause all the other borders are closed to Vic from what I can gather. I would have thought there are far more businesses in the Greater Metro area that have or will fold by Xmas than in Regional Vic.

    Only say this because some ignorant pricks decided it was alright for them to head off to Regional NSW rather than get caught stuck in Greater Metro Sydney and look what resulted from those little escapades.

    The two issues that Dan has failed to address are;
    1) failure to isolate essential workers ( covid exposed) from their families ( 40 % of daily new cases in the home) ; same as last year in the quarantine hotels
    2) failure to immunize transport workers/ and or use rapid antigen tests prior to each shift. (Leads to rapid spread along transport routes.)

    Rural people moving around is one thing risk wise, but leakage form Metro is another. It happens, even though retailers are required to ask for ID and refuse service to them. Only State wide lock down deters them, which is why Dan does it. It is cheaper for him too.

    Dan has spoken , and spoken, and spoken again on TV. I found eventually a list of what he ranted on about ( i turned him off) and we might be back on the course from Friday morning. Possibly? Perhaps, subject to change without notification.

    No, the metro gnomes are still not allowed of their pen and are still on a 5km leash.
    Regional Vics are now allowed to go anywhere in Vic except metro M. They just can’t do anything when they get there. Shops, restaurants, cafes can all open with a max of 10 indoors and 20 outside. No home visits. Outdoor recreation max of 20 pers per venue. A golf course cannot operate like that even if you separated the course from the clubhouse.

    Dan and his team of advisors have again proved that they are a pack of dickheads.

    So he has opened regional Vic up to regional Vics?
