Good to see your handicap is coming down Cap’n. I had another poor round yesterday so the way it’s going we’ll be close to similar handicaps come late October. I played off 15 yesterday (back blue markers so high adjustment) but still couldn’t play to it. ????

Masters Champion 11/4/2022Afternoon all,
After catching up with some of the well known knobs from this place for pizza last night I realised I hadn’t posted on this site for years. So this post is for me to say hello, and for you to relate what a good bloke I am, how incredibly handsome and well hung I may also be, and to invite me to come and play an elite golf course at genuine 1970s prices.
Who??? ????

After a crazy year of wet weather, the gods…PJ ..decided to give us a break and turn on a superb day for the 7th running of the PJ Memorial event
It was great to be on the course again for just my 3rd game of the year, playing with Blacksnake and Greywolfe. A thoroughly enjoyable round, even though I still need the L plates for the remote buggy…note to self, do not leave remote in pocket when bending down to look at putting line. Special thanks to Blacksnake for his distance guidance…110m was it? And of course it was fantastic to have the SOI operating again…Nationals look out!
Thank you to all that played and contributed to this years funds, a total of $685.00 raised. Thank you Chris for keeping our company on the day as usual and for bringing such an amazing cake…now who was it that took home the balance of leftovers? You were very naughty in arranging the lunch!!
Results for the day: Yes Francie…Golflinked! 😛
Winner: Schmuck 42pts
R/Up: Barenski 38
3rd: Greywolfe 35
4th: Zookeeper 31
5th: Commish 30
6th: Snorkelguru 27
7th: Peppas 26
8th: Blacksnake 25
9th: Rami (N/Score)NTP’s
2nd: Commish
4th: Zookeeper
6th: Barenski
9th: Peppas (Nearest in 2)
17th: CommishSnorkelguru invited his mate, Rami, who is new to golf and hopefully we will see him at future L4G event, even though he went through the Blacksnake interrogation process at lunch…”So, which call centre do you work at?” Absolute classic Blacksnake…and Rami took it well, firing back “How ironic that you have BLACK in your name!” 🙂
Ha….wish I was there to see his remote buggy disaster but I can imagine…..I’ve had a few close calls myself. I’m paranoid with mine any time we play a course with water. I’ve seen a few go in the drink and being rendered useless.
Looking forward to getting up to NSW in October and challengiing you to a buggy race. ?

Haven’t been in here for yonks, or at all!
3rd game for 2022 and was expecting to be super rusty.
Kooindah Waters was the venue, the 7th running of the L4G/PJ Memorial Event.
Starting off the 10th tee, playing off 16 so wasn’t expecting much. 3 bogeys to begin with followed by a wipe, 3 putt bogey, par, bogey 3 putt bogey and a one putt bogey to finish the 9 on 16pts.
Began the first nine with a par, (short birdie putt missed), par, bogey bogey, birdie, birdie, bogey, par (short birdie putt missed again!) and finally a wipe, (just to throw the anchor out eh France!) 😛 22pt for 38pt total, brought the GA down from 14.1 to 13.4
Bloody dumb-arse with the Nationals coming up, no flag dropping off for another 5 games!!
Will make defending the Brass Yacht very difficult.
Ha….always said your handicap was too big…even though you haven’t played much. You can put a lot of good holes together on your day and with that handicap it’s a good score. Good to see you aren’t handbraking but it may be that I’m going to have to give you around 8 shots each game. I’ll have to play out of my skin to get hold of the Brass Yacht and you saw the results of our mid year tourney on tbe Murray earlier this year. I’ve got a few more rounds before I travel to NSW and 3 of those are our clubbies so I’ll be trying to play around my current handicap.
Well done on today though. Some of my memories fom 4 years ago popped up on FB when I travelled up. Good times.

Masters Champion 11/4/2022Having a look around it’s going to be tough to find a course to host us on a Sunday without much notice.
We could play at the Par 3 Course at Terrey Hills. It’s cheap, you don’t have to book and it’s a fun little course.
We could then have lunch and drinks down the road at the Terrey Hills Tavern.

Just an idea.
I know a place….boing boing hahaha

Just a little boasting after today……
I’ve been playing fairly poorly of late (26 & 26 points) the last two rounds. Had to play our doubles handicap matchplay today as it was our last day to play it or we forfeited. I found out when I turned up that my partner had a positive Covid test on Saturday night and couldn’t play. I had to play aginst the two other players by myself. One is off about 4 handicap and the other off 6…I was playing off 10….
Shotgun start off the 2nd at Commonwealth GC and playing stableford. Won the 2nd and 3rd hole and managed to be 3 up after 8 (the front 9)
Lost the 10th
Won the 11th
Halved the 12th
Lost the 13th (after 3 putting)
Halved the 14th (after 3 putting)…getting nervous
Halved the 15th (NTP)
Won 16th…and 5 & 4 or somthing around that?So satisfying that I kept it together and hopefully my partner and I can go futher….
As for my round……18 and 15 for 33 points and a BDTL and NTP.
Probably back to crap next week at Cape Schanck?
