My old approach put too much pressure on the short game by scoring against always getting up and down unless it was really in a bad place
At the same time scoring an iron just offline and finding a bunker the same as one I top 10m isn’t right either
So still some work to do
Changed my scoring system around for Sunday’s review – putting more of the responsibility on the long game when it puts me in a very difficult up and down situation, including any bunker shot
Reasoning is that even the best in the world get about 50% from the bunkers so for me any up and down from the sand is basically a bonus shot
So Sunday I was 9 over
0 driver
-1 hybrid – pulled 35m left
-3 irons – 2 big pushes on first 2 holes, both ending up as pars but the +1 will go to the LW bunker shot on 1 and the 15 footer on 2, big pull on 12 into a bunker well short of the green
0 for wedges – +1 for PW to 2ft on 3, -1 for fat SW on 14
-2 for iron punch shots, both clipped trees
+1 for LW bunker shot on 1 to 2ft
0 for PW chips although I didn’t get any up and down they weren’t bad
0 for LW chips as it finished inside 5ft
-3 for Texas wedges – 2/5 up and down
-1 for putting – +2 for saves outside 5ft, -3 for misses inside 5 and a 3 puttSo -6 long game -3 short game
Hopefully the start of a the runs

That is more like our Weetbix! Well done that golfer.
Thanks mate
Hopefully the start of a runPlayed Redcliffe today and the course was lovely with the greens especially being very smooth and fast
Off 11 had a 9 over 80 for 38 points to win within our 3 groups
Would have preferred to play that way last week in Club Champs but that’s golf for you!
Drove as well as I ever have and didn’t drop a shot with driver – although could have on 15 but got lucky
Hit a few wayward irons and hybrids which I’ll need to clean up
Chipped ok and putted pretty well
Nice day for it
Pacific next week for round 3 of the club champs but I’m out of contention for those

SO we don’t have anyone on here from non-lock down states, still playing golf?
Playing Virginia tomorrow
I’m surprised you remembered, I was only there for half a year in 2001 before I got my stupid full time golf career ruining job
Do you mean marriage and children?
Sorry to hear about your friends and dog XR – the cancer sucks

Played at RiverLakes off the white tees off 6
Finished with 34 points which equates to an 8 over 78 – been a while since I scored in the 70’s so that felt good
Handicap down 0.1 to 9.6
My highest flag is now 10.9 but my only flag below 9 – a 6.4 at Nudgee from April – is dropping in 2 games so that will be a challenge to replaceNext week at Virginia – Greg Norman’s old club – will be round 2 of club champs
Round 1 was a write off so I need to perform in all 3 remaining rounds to have a chance1 user liked this post.
I agree but we are in the minority

That’s horrible golf right there1 user liked this post.
After the downpour all week we weren’t sure how playable Keperra would be – but the course handled it well and Sunday was perfect weather
My game wasn’t so good
Decent 4 over 18 point front
But poor 12 over 12 point back nineSo 30 points – not terrible but felt pretty rubbish
Had a similar sort of round yeaterday….19 and 11. A little frustrating isn’t it.
Sure is
It hurt to make the turn 4 over and then go double on 10 and lose the tee shot on 11 – not a bad shot it just bounced into the tree line and then gone in very clear open ground; golf is aa bitch sometimes – to be effectively 4 over after 2 holes for the back
Bloody golf
