Any news on what Melbourne clubs are doing to support members, who have lost about 3 months playing time this year to this virus thing..

I have heard of some clubs considering a rebate,

Am thinking if a club was to offer a rebate it may not be around when we come out the other side of Covid19. Most clubs are struggling to pay the bills as is, already without bar/golf/restaurant revenue for that period and then to offer a rebate on top would be lunacy.

Perhaps extending their next years membership to 15 months instead of a rebate. At least that would give the club a chance to budget for reduced revenue and provide incentive for people to stay a member in what will be considerably tighter times financially for alot of people.

Maybe we should be doing speed golf. It takes me around 50 minutes to play 18 holes – falls in under the 1 hour of exercise and could keep the golf courses open as long as you live near one. 🙂

50 minutes is pretty fast for 18 on a typical 6000m track

World record = 44mins 😬

5400m par 70 course. Usually shooting low to mid 80’s. Best time 52 minutes with 78 OTS = 130 Nett score.

Been hitting the ball very solidly for the last few hits. Went out today and everything was coming off “slappy” not far from the middle but consistently high toe. Changed my address slightly and turned it around.

First nine: 42 OTS – 2 bad doubles but other than that OK but not startling.
Second nine: 39 OTS – Included a triple bogey (drowned a ball and 3 putt) and a bad double from the middle of the fairway. 1 under for the other 7 holes.

So 11 over all up (playing off 8) but it really was just a few brain farts that caused it. Still feel like the game is in good shape just need more opportunity to play before it deteriorates.

An absolute blinder of a round, one where almost everything went right. Playing off a 10 hcap went out off with 6 pars and 3 bogeys (1 three putt) for 28 OTS and 21 pts. On the way back made 6 pars 2 bogeys 1 birdie for a 36 OTS and 21 pts. Total 42 pts and won my grade by 6 shots. Four over the card for the day – I haven’t played like that for nearly 15 years and finally back to single figures.

Two rounds since resumption and dropped 0.2 at this rate I’ll be off scratch by about the year 2040.
