So you scored in the low 80’s Weetbix? Only hitting 4/14 fairways. Does that mean you were in the light rough or in deep shit on the 10 you missed?
7 of the 10 were in the trees but I got most of them around the green in regulation

I had a couple of others that were just off the fairway
And I am prettyngpod with recovery shots! Lots of practice! 😁
I had 2 birdies from GIR’s – 1 on a par 4 and 1 an up and down on a par 5
The 33 was ok bit disappointing when the front was 20 points and 3 over – annoying to waste a good start like that
I had 3 3 putts so certainly wasted some opportunities
Will I imagine be tough for Boz to match $21 a box

Slightly better at Beaudesert with a good front nine but a poor back off 10 for 20 and 13 and 33 points all up
2 birdies 3 pars 12 bogies 1 triple
4/14 fairways – dropped 3 shots, 1 driver 1 mini driver 1 hybrid off the tee. Found a few too many trees which usually results in bodies and that was the case today.
6 GIR – plus a few others that were on the green but then rolled off. Overall not bad but most of the good was the front nine. Dropped a shot from a poor punch and a couple of others I have scored against the short game but it was a close call.
5/16 up and down – better than I thought but still missed some straight forward shots. 9 shots dropped here.
33 putts – 3 dropped from 3 putts but overall pretty happy. Was distance control that caused the 3 putts on dewed and then grainy greens which are subtle and challenging.
33 points won’t flag I expect so the avalanche of flags begins after Pacific Harbour next weekend
Played Hills off the white off 12 today in beautiful conditions with a 1 club wind most of the day
As usual the course is preferred lie everywhere (currently including rakeless bunkers) but overall condition was good for what is a value course1 birdie only 4 pars 8 bodies 4 doubles 1 triple
8/14 fairways – but dropped 4 shots from slicing driver in to trees and 1 from an 8i off the tee on the weird 5th hole – tee was not good and I’m still not allowing enough for the fade slice
4 GIR plus a few others I found but rolled off – 5 shots dropped from other full shots – pretty poor, such is golf
2/17 up and downs – 8 dropped shots only because some of the short game shots I left myself with were not gunna get up and down bar a miracle. Hit a couple of good lob shots. Bunker play was pretty good. Rest was generally pussy’d
34 putts – 1 3 putt. Putted pretty well overall and sunk a couple of decent ones but for a point of a bogey. But saw a Twitter post from Paidrag Harrington about working out where to set up so your eyes see the line properly and that seemed to work well. For me I have to stand well inside the ball to see the line properly which meant gripping at the top of the grip and getting my arms a bit more in front. But it definitely helped with alignment today.
Beaudesert tomorrow which will be brisk at 7.30am but hopefully I can drive better and reduce the full swing mishits.
And hit some chips with enough force.30 points of 12 off the whites at Hills in an extra Saturday game
Driver remains slicey – and I’m still getting comfortable enough to aim left side and allow for it so it found some trees especially on holes where there was trouble left
46 and 44 for 90 off the stick
1 birdie
1 3 putt
1 wipe
Not much else to say other than I hope I can score better tomorrow at Beaudesert2 users liked this post.
I’ve seen it twice as the kids wanted to watch it – it’s nothing new but it’s good fun and the action is really excellent – and brutal

Still playing vewy vewy badly.
31&26pts..
Still it’s better than most other things. 😁I see your 31 and 26…and raise (lower?) you 26 and 27.
Come back when you’re shitt enough.
It’s a shit off!
First round of the year at The Glades with the Qld crew. Played with Panda as still in twosome per group
Hit the ball really well tee to green. Stuffed up a couple little pitch shots and three 3putts. Very slick greens
33 pts. Played off 5. Shoulda woulda coulda day.
Very happy with ballstriking just need the touch/feel back,
Couldn’t of asked for a better weather day.
From what we saw from behind you you had the driver on a string Mads
yeah only missed two fairways (like way in the shit) – once way right on 15 but still stuck it 20ft, then 16 I went to drive green and pulled left into the lake.
I had a few in the rough but no biggy getting to green so may not technically count as fairways hit.
Greens were slick and if you slightly overcook the putt it ran by 6-8ft! Very tough to try and not hit too hard!
They were lightening! So many putts – especially from just off the green – I thought were gunna be perfect but they just didn’t decelerate!
Then of course you get a bit tentative on the return putts!

Played Glades today in glorious sunshine after a very brisk Saturday meant many turned up in longs
1 birdie 4 pars 12 bodies 1 double
44 15 front
41 18 back
85 34 off 11Drove pretty well for 8 FIR but 2 trips to the trees cost me 2
Rest of long game was decent but only 1 GIR – 8 just missed – but trying to chop out of a divot off a steep downslope over water cost me 2 shots, plus a hooked 7i off a par 3 cost me another
5/16 up and downs – dropped 9 shots
The greens were excellent and probably the fastest I have ever played. They’re truly superb but a challenge to read and the ball just rolled and rolled.
Love the course. It’s so strategic, the greens are superb and set up perfectly against the fairly wide fairways. You can hit lots of fairways and still have very tough approach shots. Just a great fun course.
Flagged just and down from 11.3 to 11.1
Beaudesert next week
