Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Vets golf at Deep Creek in Pakenham today.
Shotgun start at 8:30, an early start for those travelling 100km from the eastern reaches of the West Gippsland district.
I started on the 16th, par 3, index 18 – the only hole I don’t get a shot on. I was happy to get a par, 2 points, and not start off ‘behind’. But my hope was soon dashed with some wipes and 1-point holes and not enough wins. I did have a lovely chip-in birdie for 4 points on the 9th to garner 17 points for the front nine. Off to the second nine for the remaining 6 holes but only 14 points for that nine. So a 31 point total wasn’t a disgrace but could have been so much better.Out of 81 starters, there was a good handful of 40+ points and most of the lollies going to the locals.
The course was in excellent condition although the slow greens had me caught short too often. The fairways were great to play off, unlike the shaved fairways at Warragul. There were some long runs from green to tee, particularly 17 to 18 which was about 5 mins in a cart, a very long walk for others.
Perfect golfing weather.

After yesterday’s crap…..moved out to 9.4
Commish do you mind updating for me as I can’t work out how to do it on the tablet.
It can be tedious without a mouse. If you ‘touch and hold’ on a word, it should highlight the word and add pointers to the start and end of the word. You can then ‘touch & drag’ each pointer to the wanted start and end points of the area of text that you want to copy, highlighting it. A small panel pops up offering such options as COPY, PASTE, etc. Tap on COPY.
Then goto where you want to paste, touch & hold, and a pop up panel offers PASTE. Tap that and it will.
Then you can edit the bit that you want to change.Wow, that sounds complicated, but it is easy to do.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Much as I enjoy reading these reports, can I ask that the real name of the courses you are playing are written, rather than an abbreviation or nickname.It will help those of us that don’t live locally work out which course you are playing , hopefully for future reference when travelling. Thanks.
That’s a valid point, x-man.
But I, for one, am quite lazy and can save a lot of typing by referring to Warragul as ‘Warra’ each time I play there.
Gaz’ reference to Leongatha refers to Leongatha Vic., technically located in Leongatha South.
The ‘Augusta of the South’ is Lang Lang, but we all know that.
Others who might refer to, e.g. SLGC give us all a challenge to see if we can work out where the hell they’re talking about.If in doubt, you could always ask.
In the course reports topic, it probably would be worthwhile to adequately identify the course in question.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra today.
My only wipe today was on the 15th (par3) when a pine tree retained possession of my errant ball. I could see another up in the tree but that one wasn’t mine. Wrong brand.18 out, 16 back for a 34 total.
I lose a 40 pt flag off my list, so I might get a shot back.

Stab at Warra today, actually a 4B Agg Stab.
Partner and I did reasonably on the front nine, he had 19 points, I had 17. But we crumbled under the pressure. He came in with 32 points, I had 31.Greens were very slick, being polished up for next weekend’s pro-am. Balls rolling back off greens, 3-putts and 4-putts were not unusual. The course was otherwise in excellent condition, as are most Vic courses with the weather we’ve had.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Oldies’ nine hole at Warra this morning.
Playing off 20 meant an extra shot on the index-1 13th hole. On for 3, 4 putts for 1 point. Two other 1-points but also two 3-points. 17 point total means an extra an extra handicap shot next time.Quite hot out there today. Greens were really slick, mown this morning.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Garfield Plate at Garfield today. Team stab event but with individual scores.
I started on the 8th hole (par3) then 9th (of course) another par3. 5 for 1 on both.
Something like six par3’s and I made a habit of 1 point on most of them. Playing off 16, that’s two no-shot holes, so one of my 5 for 1’s became a wipe but I did get 2 points on one later in the round.
Continuing onto the back nine, I scored poorly with just 9 points. Two of those holes were my no-shot holes and a lost ball didn’t help.
Onto the front nine again and all remainIng 7 holes were 2 points and one 3-point. So, that’s 17 points plus the other 9 points for a 26 point total.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.4BBB Par at Warra today.
Partner and I both started with pars (except that mine didn’t count), but it buoyed us up for the challenge.
I started with three pars then another on 7 and a birdie on the par5 8th. My partner had three pars taking us to +7 at half way.
Apart from partner’s birdie on the par5 12th taking us to +8, all we could manage was a handful of halves until we bombed out on the last 3 holes with wipes, pulling us down to +5 and not even a ball DTL.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Stab at Warra today. Playing off 15 today means three ‘no shot’ holes.
Two points on every hole on the front except for the 9th, a no shot hole, for 1 point. Parred the 6th – the other no-shot hole on the front. 17 points.
One point on each of 4 back nine holes: 11th (no shot), 13th (index 1 and a 3-putt), 16th (another 3-putt) and the 18th (a par3 which took 3 to get on the green and I missed the first putt). 14 points.So, only one par (6th) and three doubles. A fairly consistent round except for those two 3-putts.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.So, is it time to consider holding a LLIC?
The LL township, 9Km before the course, has a small collection of shops and maybe one of them may suit the breakfast crowd.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Oldies’ nine hole stab this morning.
Two wipes: lost a ball on the edge of the 13th where everything was clear except for visibility to my ball. Second ball flew an identical path and it was readily found. On the 16th I pulled the tee shot left into trees, hit another tree trying to get, out for 3 but eventually ran out of shots before holing.
A handful of 1-points and only one 3-point. Total of 12 points.Weather forecast was for heaps of rain, but still dry when I left home. Had a little very light drizzle while playing, just enough to be a nuisance.
