34 points (5×1) just scraped into the rundown.
35 points at Royal Queensland off 12
Stooped for lightning mid round but overall not terrible
32 (2W 2×1) 35 putts not good.
Great day in the park with Weetie and Bump made up for some so-so scoring.
A fortuitous lightning break coincided with some heavy rain, so we pretty well had decent weather albeit being incredibly humid and very wet underfoot. Good company makes up for the foibles of the weather anyway.
Weetie played pretty well with the exception of some short game glitches. Bump came home well the second nine, and it’s obvious that with more reps he would be playing off 3 or 4……but he got flogged in the ‘match’:)
The match wasn’t very even – even with a good back nine by Bump
But the company was excellent as usual – really appreciate the invite again Upnin
Now if I can just get that shot game going

I’ll just keep practicing the short game – I improved as the round went on and everyone struggled with the chip shots from behind bunkers with the grain into you
Singles will beckon as the confidence builds which is my biggest issue
At this stage, it’s only your short game holding you back – the long game is in fine order.
Thanks John – it is frustrating

There’s no way I’d miss 12 weeks of the year to avoid a bit of water
Managed to avoid the crotch rot so far – might only be your issue Hack

Well there were a few drops during the round today, to the point where the lightning alarm forced us off the course for 40 minutes or so.
The course was nevertheless in very good conditions and the greens are still firm. The bunkers though were GUR which required a few lob shots over them which cost me a couple of shots. The last few I hit ok though so that was something.
I was off 12 (for some reason despite the SR being 73 so I should have got 13). I had 17 off the back and 18 off the front. 2 pick up wipes were the real disappointment for the round. A 2ft birdie putt on that hole 9 was the highlight.
1 birdie 8 pars 5 bogies 3 doubles (1 pick up) 1 triple (pick up)
12 fairways – great stat but the fairways are very generous but I drove it pretty well. Dropped 1 shot from hitting it into the trees.
9 GIR – actually a pretty solid result and if it had a decent short game I could have had a good score.
1/10 up and down – terrible short game performance on the first hole 10, and on 17, and on 5 were very frustrating. Dropped 9 shots here: 3 LW 3 PW 2 5 iron and 2 Texas – only 1 Texas up and down.
35 putts – 1 3 putt and didn’t miss any short putts but didn’t give myself many short putts for up and downs either. Putter was ok but nothing exciting.
Reasonable round but the short game was shit
Dropping a 7.8 vs what will probably be a played to 12 so I will.go out a bit.
Lol – sugar plum fairy – pisser
Even sopping wet I’m keen as – I’ll pack spare clothes!
Sound like
you’re not really keenyou need to be committed.Who in their right mind plays in the rain?
Let alone sopping wet!
Why would a little water worry me?
You don’t worry about getting wet when you surf so why worry if you’re golfing?
If it’s a torrential downpour then you can’t play in those conditions but otherwise it’s just water
74m
I get it out there, baby.
That is GPS validated folks
And it handed me one of life’s greatest moments – getting to see the Goldman run after his ball to try and hit it before we could measure it
