Thought I’d have a bit of a review of the Sunday round. Was a situation where I started pushing the long clubs and then switched to a hook and that cost me as I wasn’t playing safe for hooks.
My shorter full swings were pretty good most of the day though which is good.
So the tee shirs went:
– Started on 16 with a 4h big push into the trees that combined with a weak AW chip meant bogey (got a bit lucky but the punch from the trees was very good)
– 18 push into the trees but ok
– 1 5i draw good
– 2 Mini Driver was very good
– 4 4h straight
– 6 push into the trees
– 7 straight drive
– 8 top into the water then pushed the retee but fine
– 10 driver went where I aimed it into the end of the bunker (avoiding water but was hoping for a little bit of draw)
– 11 push into the trees
– 12 hook wet
– 13 long par 3 was a hooked 6i to continue the hook run
– 14 hook bunker
– 15 hook wet
Many many shots lost thereOther full swings were a happier story:
– 17 PW GIR
– 18 5i just short which is what I expected
– 1 9i GIR but short
– 2 6i hook
– 3 9i thin push was GIR but a loooong way away
– 4 LW a little short but good
– 5 PW draw GIR
– 6 AW a little short but good
– 7 8i hooked but fine, SW pulled into the bunker
– 8 LW good
– 9 LW to 15ft
– 10 9i from the bunker was a bit thin but just over – good shot
– 11 SW to 15ft
– 12 SW just long from 118 uphill!
– 13 6i hook ended up fine
– 14 SW from fairway bunker was fat, SW to green was good to 15ftHave to sort out the longer clubs but wedges and short irons were right where I want them

Yeah I don’t think any of them were the wrong choice except maybe on 15, but the round was gone by then
31 points today off 12 at Glades in a decent and gusty wind – had my chances but short game was terrible and the driver got the hooks on the last few holes after being pushy all day – driver in the end cost me 5 shots while short game cost me 10 plus 4 3 putts.
5/14 fairways
7 GIR
1/11 up and down
37 puttsBeen striking my chips much better lately but not today
I think setup will correct the driver because I was trying to change it to fix my push and I suspect over did it
Hit some good irons though
2 birdies were dropping 15ft putts so that made up a little with the putter, plus left myself some very long putts on tough greens
Chipping was very frustrating
@Hack2489 thanks for the message. I’m more focussed on commercial roles, and that one is a bit far south for me from Algester. But I appreciate the heads up and welcome anything else that crosses your path.
Can’t for the life of me get the message reply to send in the PM
Would be great to be able to turn that on whenever we stepped onto the course

Careful with a green shirt
Seems lately that everyone is hitting up
Could be just at me though

More frustrating rubbish today for 30 points at Robina Woods from a shotgun start off 15, playing off 12
Started double birdie par bogey
The the front nine was 7 bogeys followed by 2 doubles
Finished with a wipe to put the cream on the cakeMy short game is improving in the sense of not hitting any mishits but my touch isn’t good enough and I didn’t make any putts of note today – just a couple of 4-6 ft 2nd putts
30 points with 2 birdies is crap
Tee wasn’t too bad although a bit of luck saved a 3h
Dropped 9 shots from poor iron and wedge shots – very very bad
8 over on the short game with only 2 up and downs despite plenty of fairly straightforward chipa
Better sharpen up Slick before you get to The Flats – don’t need another chopper in our four as that’s my role.
You’ll be 2 shots better than me then so I’m taking over chopper duties!

You went out there and try your best. Seriously, I would be absolutely super happy if I get 30. Wow, you are very lucky, you golf different course every week. You must know a lot of movers and shakers golfers.
Weeti is the club
mascotstalwart for a social golf group based in SE Qld. They play different courses each couple of weeks. I think it’s because they’re not allowed back to a course due to shenanigans. Something to do with gumboots, goats and, ah, I’ll let you use your imagination…Be very careful with the imagination – could be very upsetting

We just bribe the clubs! 😁
30 isn’t a terrible score I suppose but it was a very frustrating game as it swung from excellent to rubbish from shot to shot – particularly the large number of terrible iron and wedge approaches to greens

Appreciate the help in making me feel better
Why did you take a selfie on your side?
I was exploring new perspectives on life love and gumboots
Tell me more about the gum boots and are you using them during sex.
Doesn’t everyone?
Must be a QLD thing
I only emigrated here when I was 26
Hope all readers are over 18.
You can’t be much more than that surely Della?
