Sad to say, but probably yes. New stage, new beginnings, a new start. Probably fitting as well that it is retired with the only person to have won the honour or wearing the jacket twice.
Either that, or we just get someone to unpick all the embroidery and start afresh.. Bwaahhhaaaahhahh
Have 2 spots available next Thursday at 651 in Liverpool if anyone’s interested
Scheduled meeting with my friendly Gastroenterologist at 11. Yeehaaaa.. Colonoscopy time again. Can’t wait..:(

We don’t talk about golf on the deck.
That’s not entirely correct.
We do have this thread going ‘on the deck’:
That is a question that could/should/would supply a myriad of responses which will then lead to active conversation over a beer or ten whilst we take in the vista (we need more photo’s of same) from the deck. Talking about how many bloody putts you had on the other hand, will get you thrown over the railing of the deck.
I’m sure that it did, I definitely didn’t give it the considered consideration that it deserves.
I suffered badly at the back end of last year and I ashamedly gave up on caring for it as much as other things that needed to be cared for.
While it’s very much back in business now, it’s definitely not back to its full former glory….
It still makes me sad that it isn’t as good as I want it.The front yard is schmicko at the minute.
I have also laid some irrigation lines in the front gardens which the grass will benefit from so good times ahead for the front of house.So you had the forethought to give your front garden/lawn a Christmas present. That’s so you. It will repay you in many wondrous ways.

Yarrawonga would be the logical choice for the fri-sun games 3 great and slightly different courses. Howlong and Thurguna good tracks also. 5cents added
Thurgoona is the only one I’ve played.. few decades back, twas good, almost very good.. 😀
Thurgoona is a good track but I think the condition has gone downhill a tad. Played it and Howlong on the way down to the Nats in 2016. Have played Howlong on quite a few occasions and it has improved with numerous reno’s over the years. Corowa is probably better than both. Commercial aint all that bad either, but a bit shorter than the others. I am being a bit preemptive, but my order of play on the way down for 2021 Nats would be Wagga, followed by Howlong, Black Bull and then whatever the 10yr Nats throws up.
Oh… liking the avatar Keg..:)
I played at Sanctuary Cove as a member’s guest.
It was genuinely one of my very top few best ever days at golf.
Playing with Dad, Placegetter and accepting a very late call up, a bloke who I played with all of the time at Piney who I haven’t seen or played with in too long a time.
So many reasons for it to be the best day, I loved it so much and Placegetter is still the most awesome human in the whole world.Some home course advantage helped him rave to an insurmountable lead of 21 shots by half way. He was just too good in the end.
There must be something to this not drinking business.It felt like all of my Christmases came today so that’s why I decided to post it here in this thread, sounds good yeah?
First hole of the day, smashed 3 wood, flicked up a lob wedge to a few feet for a tap in bird.
I was ready to finish there, obviously the course was going to be too easy.Have I mentioned it was a great day?
A. Yes, good place for the write-up.
B. Less alcohol on course has improved my scores. Questionable about the enjoyment factor, but my liver is thankful.
C. Can you elaborate on how one can ‘rave’ to such a lead… did you go via the Falls Festival?
D. What was you final score? And, how did Dad go?
E. No mention of what you were wearing, or any such lead up, ah … ‘discussion’? WTF?
I did hit big dog soooo much better my last game when I was drinking more than I ever should have, let alone while playing. Today with less drinks it wasn’t as good, I know that I definitely play better drinkered.
I had an 82. Sorry to let you down Commish.
4 over on the front nine and then I had a few doubles on the back. It wasn’t a comp game so the score and shot selection to a large extent was irrelevant. We still always obviously cared and kept score but I wasn’t worried.
Dad was more interested in donating balls to the dams to worry the scorers. He did drive very well though and because I didn’t have his card I have no idea what he scored haha
No need to feel sorry Bump, I’d take an 82 around Sanctuary Cove any day. I’d be lucky to break 110. As for your 2nd sentence, well that just says it all.
In regard to the Benmeister, yes he is all that, still surprises me that he got you by that many though. Maybe you need to drink what he doesn’t to get back in the game. Works for me. Should have slipped him a couple of lime soda’s with that mystery undetectable additive.
Last but not least, apart from getting to play with an old mate and Big Bad Ben, having a hit with your Dad is great. I know I enjoy every round I have with my son no matter how I play. Hope you get to have a lot more games and enjoy the moments together.If there’s only one thread for this, we won’t be posting in the wrong one.
Good thought, now stick it in the Practice Range where it belongs.
But it’s not practice, it’s playing.
If madam thinks it should be moved, I won’t object.It’s a report on how you played and what practice you should be doing to improve.
We don’t talk about golf on the deck.
Why not, it’s the clubhouse deck?
The deck is for talking crap, I suppose you golf game does fit into that category like many others, but the deck is like the lounge on the ISG site and in the majority of cases, how you went at golf on any given day was not discussed there as the deck on here is for all manner of things other than how you played a round.

Possibly.
In any case, here’s my report of today’s effort.
After two 13 point halves on Tues, I opened with 14 points on the front and followed up with 20 points on the back nine.
No 3-putts, but four 1-putts (3 on the back).Most of those that have their journey thread on how they have played on any given day in the Practice Range. OR Hat Trick started a How Did You Play This Weekend thread in Community Business, perhaps you could tag onto that.
Other than that, nobody sitting on the deck having a beer and a laugh about anything but golf gives a flying fig about how many farkin putts you had. Or then again, that could be just me.

Well said sir..
