Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Full sched, but no golf on the end days, 3 in the middle is enough.
Most country courses allow byo cart (please confirm), but if I use theirs, how much?People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Jungle Cruise wasn’t bad. Being a Disney effort, it was reasonably predictable, but quite entertaining.
Now for the lawns in 21° weather.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.With this nice sunny weather, I might just wait a bit longer for the grass to dry somewhat and then mow it.
In the meantime, considering that we aren’t allowed out to play, I might watch a movie.
It could be worse, I could be stuck in a quarantine motel room or a high rise commission flat, or with little kids.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Metro-gnomes still in full lockdown, new cases around a dozen per day.
I really hope that your all your sake that this doesn’t blow out to a few days of over 60odd cases with punters traveling and spreading the virus. I reckon there’s going to be full state lockdowns if it starts spreading too much.
If only you’d said that a few weeks ago.
But it wouldn’t have made any difference because there’s always fwits out there that don’t give a damn about anyone else.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Comrade Dan is closely following the communist manifesto: invoking a police state, destroying private enterprise making everyone dependent on the government for survival, subsuming any remaining enterprises into government instrumentalities, banning social interaction, jailing dissenters.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Well, what a complete WOFTAM that was today.
Nothing on the news or club website (obviously no-one told anyone). Load up and go to the course only to be told that we have all joined in to the complete state lockdown and everyone has to be off the course (and at home) by 1:00 today. Comp cancelled. Just because there has been a handful of covid cases 400 Km away.There’s another couple of hundred voters who definitely will not vote for Dickhead Dan and his cronies at the next election. I’m only talking about the golfers at our club. Some 40,000 in the near vicinity, millions state wide. He’s a panic merchant with no management skills whatsoever.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have a problem with being reasonably cautious in a carefully planned manner. But he’s just ruthlessly stupid with no consideration for the upheaval he causes.
Rant over, for now.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Surely there are more L4G members than Xman and myself playing golf atm?
Stab at Warra yesterday. Two regular co-conspirators and myself joined by a friend (playing off 10) who recently moved to the coast an hour south. One of the Warra guys (off 14) had 32 points. The other 3 all had 26 points.
I had two wipes, no 3-points and that leaves six 1-point holes for the 26 total. We all had trouble putting, I had 39. Our ‘winner’ had 42 putts and immediately after the round signed up with the pro for a putting lesson. It must have been the greens because the weather was perfect (for this time of year) -shorts and shirts.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

A couple of WW2 comedy shows come to mind, ‘Allo Allo’ and ‘Hogans Heroes’. Imagine how different those scenarios would be if the local prison camp had typhoid fever running amok.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Par round at Warra today.
Some light drizzle frequently blew over, just to be annoying.
I couldn’t get my swing into the swing of things, so to speak. Jacket on, jacket off, repeat.
Finished with -6 and around 30 putts.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.These country restrictions piss me off. Ok, nothing like the metro gnomes, poor buggers.
What gets me is that the club says that, due to the wet season, no more than two carts per group. So I might have to share my cart with a non-regular which, in itself, is no problem. After the round, we sit around in the lounge in small groups, imbibing with a few drinks (no masks) and in close proximity to other such groups. As there has never been any covid cases out here, this scenario is no real problem, until such time as it is.
Now for the bit that peeves me. We aren’t allowed to have any guests in our homes so we can’t have our usual Wed drinks. Our only opportunity is at the clubhouse after golf. I live alone so I can’t meet with anyone at home other than an intimate partner and none of my golfing mates qualify, but they’re all married anyway. It just seems ridiculous that we can meet and drink, along with many others, at the club but not just a few of us at home.
Yes, I know. But golfers always have something to complain about. I am a country member.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Oldies’ nine hole this morning.
Although it was 11-12°, it felt more like 5°. Must have been xman’s Portland wind.
I made a mess of the 16th. On for 3 then wiped the hole.
End result 17 points.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
