At Indooroopilly on Sunday the men’s white SR was 70 and the women’s red 73 so that would have seen a large difference between the impact

Played rubbish at Indooroopilly President’s (Red Blue) course today. 28 points off 11. The greens were in very poor condition 5 weeks after being scarified which didn’t help me, but I played pretty poorly too.
1 birdie 6 pars 3 bogies 7 doubles 1 triple
5/14 fairways – dropped 2 shots with driver which was otherwise pretty good, and 1 with a 3h that found the water at 240m straight down the middle of the fairway on red 7.
4 GIR – dropped 3 shots from bad wedges again, 1 from a bad punch and 1 from a fat bunker shot. Didn’t hit the ball badly overall but paid for every mistake today fully.
3/26 up and downs (not a typo) – 11 shots dropped with the thin lob wedge popping up about 5 times costing me 4 shots. Thinned a SW bunker shot which cost me 2 shots. 2 PW chips were decent shots but not down. LW lob and LW bunker shots were very good as both were short sided, but not down.
31 putts – missed 1 short putt but otherwise wasn’t too bad. But reading where the ball would bounce around on its way to the hole was a challenge.
I’m about to see my 4 Nats flags hit the bottom of my 20 so I could start shooting up again.
Ah yes – your traditional sober January!
We will remind you – both about getting the names down and about how much you love early starts!
Can’t wait – it’s not that long away now

Played Windaroo’s Friday comp today off 12 and had 44 for 16 front and 42 for 18 back for 34 points. Course was in excellent condition especially considering the lack of rain. I always enjoy teeing it up at Windaroo.
8 pars 7 bogies 2 doubles 1 triple
9/14 fairways – drove the ball great, especially on the front. Only blemish on the front was a huge push 4h on 9 way into the river which cost me a shot and left me a long way out for my 3rd shot. On the back put a fade behind trees on 10, and topped a driver on 16. So 3 shots dropped.
9 GIR – not a bad number but missed too many simple ones, and wasted 3 with 3 putts. Lost 2 shots on 9 with 3h push that hit a tree and went into the hazard, and 2 from poor punch shot on 16 and topped 8i on 18.
4/12 up and downs – cost me 3 shots as 4 of them were 3rd shots on the par 5s, and 1 was fine but hit a poor putt. 4/5 Texas was good. Hit most shots decently just wasn’t judging the run and some were too long and some too short.
35 putts + 5 Texas – 4 shots dropped from 3 x 3 putts and missed 1 short one. Was disappointing after a really good putting performance at Southport.
Hopefully will flag but won’t be a great one. SR is 71 vs par 72 and I was 2 below that so at best will be a 13.6 sort of range.

7/15 up and downs on Sunday but only 4 shots dropped? The other 4 were because my approach left me with no realistic chance to get up and down – just had to take my medicine
On 6 pushed LW into a deep short sided bunker. Actually took 2 to get out but didn’t count the 2nd as a dropped shot because unless I dropped a monster putt it was never going go get up and down – the dropped shot went to the lob wedge
On 9 my attempt to draw a LW was thin and over the green on a downslope – was a really good PW chip to about 6ft which I didn’t drop – again the drop was recorded against the LW
On 10 what should have been a very simple GIR was a bladed LW over the green again on a downslope with all sorts of interesting bumps between me and the hole. PW chip was again pretty decent but 15ft short – would have been a miracle to get it inside 3ft. Dropped shot again to the lob.
Finally on 15 my PW was a bit pushed and plugged deep into the side face of the bunker right. Just had to smash it out which I did and it rolled off the other side of the green – which was expected. Drop to PW on that one.
7 made up and downs for me is a very happy story. Made LW chip down on 1 for birdie. Made LW sand save on 3 for par. Almost sunk an eagle Texas on 5, but down for birdie. Almost holed a PW chip on 11 – a foot short right on line and par. A couple of Texas wedges as well. Would like to see this continue and then take another step up.
The calendar we got for Christmas now says “GOLF (am)” on 9th February.
