My brothers and sisters, this year has been a pretty suckful one.
Not much has gone right for a lot of very wonderful people, and that makes me sad.This year will be the hardest for me to start asking you blokes for some coin when there has already been such an amazing effort, especially from the NSW team already, but we all know that there will always be a need for ongoing fundraising.
I am always hearing stories where truly beautiful humans are struggling and I know of some this year whom have not made it through their darkness.
While the money through to the proper channels will help the professional services, we can each play our part in helping our own brothers.
Talking and listening is the very first step that can change someone’s life for ever.
If you do feel so inclined, here is my Movember page for this year where my focus will be on running again. I use my time running to recharge my thoughts and be along with me.

Far out – look what happens when you forget to close the doors. All sorts of stuff just wanders in…
Took ya nearly 12 mths though. Good to see you guys back swinging a club.

First round back after the Covid lock down in Melbourne
Playing off 15 at Rossdale I had 30 points but was really a tale of 2 nines. Very rusty on the front nine and only scored 12 points, got my grove back on the second nine and had 18 points which could have been a lot better
Did you get to play with Spade???
Not the Springs.
Will you remember where it is and what day it’s on??😜🤣
Monday at Magenta on any of those dates is the preferred option for myself and Zoo. Failing that, then The Springs but not the 6 Dec.
Thanks Commish, I still reckon the Elanora greens are the best I’ve ever played on. I love their speed.
I would still rate The Lakes a little in front, but yeah, they are verrrry good. Concord are pretty damn good as well.
With the +3 PCC I played to 11. Lost .9
🙁Even though the result flagged, I had a played to 13 drop off the bottom, so I actually went out .7 😃
A great day at a great course with some equally great people. A big thanks to my playing partners of Capt Barenski and Zoomeister. We were the lazy ones in carts. Wolfy was even lazier though…. he forgot to turn up altogether. An even bigger thanks to Barenski for arranging the day. As always, it was flawless and I believe we were made most welcome from the pro shop staff through to the clubhouse staff.
The course was in very good condition and the set up is a real test of golfing capabilities, as is evident by the scores. Very cliché, but you really do need to be on the fairway on this course or at worst 1st cut. An extremely well laid out course and placement is sooo important. Even more important is landing in the right spot on the green. Get on the wrong side of some of the undulations and deep, deep doo-doo is the result. If the course didn’t have enough upsides, the vista on a few of the holes is quite special as well.
Obviously a bit of home course knowledge was an advantage, but in saying that, Comrade Barenski was very solid tee to green on most occasions and seemed to have an exceptional handle on the speed of the greens. Well played sir. I was playing like a busted as is my norm these days, but I was surprised to find that the vast majority of the field must have been playing in sympathy with me. Definitely thought I was a shoo in for NAGA, that was until Zoo wiped 3 holes in a row and I knew I was safe.
Only downside for the day was the fact that even though I scored 28 pts, due to the way the scores were placed ( I assume single comp) I got a +3 PCC and my round flagged with a played to 18.7 off a daily hcp of 19. I’d hate to see what Barenski got off the same handicap.
Looking forward to the next one, wherever it may be.

Barnsey do we have to book those oversized pushcarts in advance? If so then book one for me, we’re coming back directly from Pokolbin.
Unless you feel like carting it that day.
You obviously haven’t been paying attention.

Hopefully someone steps up? Any retired guys in your group? 😉
I see where you are going with that…(: I’m sure it will be discussed tomorrow. As for a new Capt….. there is only one Capt and that should remain. A game co-ordinator, well that is a different matter all together.
Woops…..on holidays (for some reason) and nothing to do. Even missed hump day
Geez, it must be fun taking a holiday so you can stay at home for the entire time..
Yep……..NOT!!!!!
I’d probably normally have a bit of a giggle at that, but it really aint funny for you poor buggers.

Fair round at Shepparton I just saw on my Twitter feed.
The guy shot 58 OTS and still didn’t win.
Nice course, played it on the way down to the Nats last year. +9 hcp around that place is some golf.
