That app is very cool Bump

In regard to your game improvement shovels I know that in time you’ll be able to play clubs like mine, and meanwhile enjoy the help that your GI clubs provide

But, can he chip?

Like a seagull

First up, thank you again so much to Upnin for hosting us. The stories and acceptance and openness is something I am very appreciative of.
Weets is as brilliantly good looking as always.
My day started off interestingly as I arrived and Weeti showed me his and I showed him mine and all of a sudden mine looked like big fat game improvement shovels.
Anyway, that disappointment aside, I soldiered on without a chance to warm up. I had to think back to my last swing in the first week of January to know what sort of form I was in.
Alignment, club rotation and swing out…. simple.

Referring to the image below.
Starting on the 10th, the plan was was driver long and middle left, it went lefter than middle left, but was still well struck. I was a 3 iron out to get on in two. Along with Weeti we waiting ages for the green to clear only to each not land anywhere near the green. I smashed my 3 iron but turned it over and landed 30m left on the 18th tee block. Easy lob wedge flick up and missed an easy birdie putt for par.
what else was interesting that you’d want to know about… umm, I am not sure. I say that like you were interested in the first hole haha.
I wanted to use my 3 wood on 12 to try and get close to the green, but didn’t turn it over at all and left myself a stupidly tough 40m approach where I reckon I had a 6m landing area. Short of the landing area was down back off that tier of the green and long was down off the of the green. Of that 6m, I needed to land it on the first 1-2m for any chance of it stopping, I landed it closer to the 4 or 5m mark so it rolled off.
Being right off the tee was a bad line in.
The 13th I was too far left and didn’t have a good line in, I thought I smashed my 9 iron perfectly to the fat bit of the green, but no, I was short. Not the hardest chip but I didn’t hit it hard enough.
Then 14 I smashed driver long and left to avoid the big fig tree that Up and Weets wanted to play out of.
The plan on 15 was simple, long and left had side of the fairway. I hit it high, long and right, right into the world’s tiniest pond, dropped, punched a 4 iron 130odd metres to be 113 to the pin. I smashed sand wedge as high as I could straight at the pin which was tucked behind the green side bunker. Easy tap in par here
17, my favourite hole was playing pitching wedge length. Or so I thought. Even though I hit a toe-ish knockdown it landed on and rolled off the back. Me and my good friend Weets then mucked around chipping up and watching them roll back to our feet.
18, the pin was front left so the drive needed to be right of the bunker that was 250 away. So after I hit it straight into that bunker I tried to smash PW just to get it over the lip. I did. Then it landed just short of the green in a GUR’d bunker, dropped out of that and chipped it to a few feet for bookend pars.

It was definitely a tale of hitting the ball reasonably well, but just not in the right spot leaving myself not the easiest chip or putt.

I actually started getting on a roll on the second 9 with a few simple pars in a row before the lightning siren brought us in.
My first tee shot after playing out the rest of that storm hole, my hybrid slipped in my hand and I washed that one.

the par 5, 7th was a very disappointing par. I smashed driver that made an awesome splash in a casual lake, the smashed 3 wood to be just short of the front. I chipped up to 4 feet. I think I hit the putt 2 feet, I probably didn’t actually make it half way.
An unlucky bogey on 8 after missing the green right.
Then on 9, I smashed my driver long and right, in under a tree. All I could do was to try and sling a 5 iron back out to the middle somewhere. I happened to be within a couple of metres of Weets ball. His device he was 140 out and it was like he was throwing darts, his 9 iron landed within a meter. I couldn’t match that, and hit my 8 iron to a meter and a half. Walking off with that tap in bird was a great feeling.

I am pretty sure I say it every single time I play there, well every single time I play golf. I would really love to play there after some sort of game time and/or practice.

Love your work Up, thank you again for hosting us

Ah, what did you wear?

The dark blue shirt and grey shorts ensemble.

I felt it looked good
