    Tip of the Decade: It’s only golf.

    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.

    Perhaps the front page needs better guidance ????

    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.

    Where are the “bouncers”?

    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..:)

    Wow…very spacious…and the smell of newly painted. I think I’m going to like this place….let me know when Commish “Officially” cuts the ribbon, followed by one of his articulate speeches….

    As for Christmas 2019…….I happen to have the next two days off and we’ll have Rees’s daughter (Elaina) spending the night with us on Christmas eve. Looking forward to seeing her Christmas morning opening her presents. Things are tight…. so it will be a quiet day at home for us.

    Watch out for the wet paint near the bar- needs a few more hours to dry.

    Have a great Holiday season Francie- I know its been a rough year for you and the fam. We can only hope 2020 is much better than 2019.

    PS: What is the beverage of choice for this joint? Have to get an order in before New Years!

    PSS: The below is where I envision the Deck is located.

    Noice….views

    Beverage of choice……Melbourne Bitter….of course.

    Can we have a lounge forum please. Why??? because we need somewhere to sit and reflect whilst we manoeuvre between the other threads, PLUS it stops Toph having to one up himself in the Song Title Game thread on ISG and I can’t help him out in there any more. PLUS, PLUS, I like the ability to have a forum with diverse threads that don’t really have a direct impact on golf and it’s foibles.

    Isn’t that what the rules sub-forum area is for?

    Or, is it Community Business. I get lost.

    EDIT: I had type, “I can’t keep up” instead of “I get lost” but with the moderation around here I could see it being changed to “I can’t keep it up” and would be paranoid for months knowing someone around has seen me, ah, struggling.

    • This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by Hack2489.

    Nah,, the Rules Forum is for people who don’t really give a shit.

    Community Business is close, but we need a 19th hole where all manner of inane crap can be discussed. I mean this is a clubhouse after all.

    We did have the pool room but got a bit to steamy in there.

    What’s a good title. Lounge. Or the deck or patio?

    Whatever you choose would be fine. I like to sit on the balcony and watch the world pass by, it’s that open room with a view. Did you see what I did there???

    This all sound like a matter that should have been tabled at the EGM.

    But, given said ‘fiduciary deficiencies’ would it be prudent to make it the first L4G ‘poll’?

    Perhaps a short list of options upon which votes may be cast?

    The 19th
    19th Hole
    The deck
    The balcony
    The view
    The lounge

    ??

    Initially I was thinking the – 19th …..but I like the deck too.
