The long term impacts are going to be shocking now we havs moved from flatten the curve to elimination – which I think NZ demonstrates is not possible
The health approach is the easier sell when you post daily stats and everyone parrots the “How many deaths are acceptable ” line as if death is not inevitable and we haven’t been discussing tge merits of euthanasia for decades
I’m extremely concerned for the medium term for this state, and the whole country
Ink eats them
you being the receiver ATM specialist.
funny mention “orifice” and here you pop up!
If he sees any sort of hole, he has a habit of ‘poppin up’.
Tough being a normal person in VIC. “Any hole will do, better than no hole””. Are we talking about putting? đ
Haha – of course Della, what else?

I thought he liked to stick them in various crevices? Or is that orifices?
Doesn’t have to be either or
Always a chance
Maybe only a small one though
Been here before and started playing crayola immediately!
Did you use these ones….?
Yep
One of the brown ones from memory

More binoculars than telescope today
Played Virginia off 12
Course was in good condition – as green as I have ever played it. Greens weren’t fast but the pins were in slippery spots so made for some interesting golf4 over 40 back and 39 front for an 8 over 79 net 67 and 2nd for the days comp was good
2 birdies 6 pars 10 bogies
6/14 + 3 close fairways – drove pretty well mostly but also had a couple lucky ones that slide through trees. 2 dropped shots weren’t from shockers but left difficult approach options.
6 GIR – only 1 dropped shot from a thin iron and overall a good ball striking day
4/11 up and down – dropped 4 shots
2/2 Texas
1/6 PW chip – 4 dropped
0/1 LW chip – 0 dropped
0/1 SW sand – 0 dropped
1/1 LW sand32 putts – 3 dropped – 2×3 putts and 1 4ft missed, but dropped a couple of 12 footers
Overall ball striking was good. Had a bit of luck with tee shots sneaking through trees after I hit them straighter than expected (allowing for a push fade).
Short game is still a long way to go but no shockers
Putting was disappointing for the 3 putts and the 4 footer but made some good ones too so not disappointed
Hope I can keep the good stuff going
Wow getting close to single digit Weeti. Well done 2nd place.
Thanks Della
Got the handicap down 0.9 to 10.8 which by my measure makes me 1.4 shots over singles
Got 3 flags still I’m the 13’s so just need to post some decent rounds and I’m a chance
Next flag drops in my 4th round

Better
8 over 79 ar Virginia off 12
2 birdies
2 3 putts
No wipes
Hit the ball mostly solidly
4/11 up and downs – chipped decently but not great by a long shot
Dropped some good putts, but a couple of lags from 40ft or so weren’t good enough6 users liked this post.
Tough around the greens along with a wipe on 9 basically off the tree led to 16 over and 29 points at Helensvale
It’s a very short course but tight and with very good greens and surrounds to make it a test. Of 12 we had 3 make 32 as our best scores.
1 birdie only 4 pars 10 bogies 2 doubles 1 triple wipe
6/14 fairways – dropped 3 shots on 9 with a lost/probably pulled OOB and then a push into the water. Smashed a 280+m drive to pin high on 13 which was nice
6 GIR – 2 dropped from a thin LW and a pushed 6i
Overall struck the ball fairly decently so that was a positive
2/10 up and downs – not good around the greens – didn’t hit bad chips but the hardness and speed made it tough. Dropped 8:
1/5 Texas
0/1 5i chip
1/1 PW from 30m
0/2 LW chip
0/1 SW sand37 putts – 4 x 3 putts. Had lots of lip outs too.

Interesting that they see breaking 80 as a goal for high handicappers
Would have thought they were trying to break 90
If breaking 80 is a realistic opportunity for you you shouldn’t have a high handicap – low teens at worstEveryone fails at golf for different reasons
I think that improving your course management is a must for breaking 80 – playing to your specific skill set
7 over though requires more than just minimising errors – you have to score a lot of pars3 users liked this post.
More rubbish today
92 net 80 at McLeod
Pretty much everything was bad all day1 birdie and finished with the ball I started with but nothing else of note
Simple accountants⊠I mean counting error.
Evidently it was a skill error
My golf game in a nut shell

Are you trying to tell me youâve never had an up and down shot that didnât end up on the green? Youâre a hell of a golfer!

How do you hit 8 greens but have 11 chances at an up and down?
Did you spill your beer in the clubhouse after the round?On 3 I had a pitch from about 30m which landed short, then had a Texas from there.
