    Played Beaudesert today, starting at about 5 degrees but the sky was clear and we warmed up ok after a few holes
    I started badly including 2 double bogey wipes and 2 2 pointers then lost a ball in the middle of the fairway on 5 so was 4 points after 5 and pretty pissed with the Golf Gods
    The group behind us found my ball in a small depression in the middle of the fairway but too late for me

    Then had a really good run for 10 holes with 6 pars then bogey par bogey par
    But finished poorly
    16 and 14 points for 30 all up

    9 pars 4 bogeys 4 doubles and the lost ball

    6/14 fairways – well technically 7 with the lost ball – deiver wasn’t too good and dropped 4 shots plus 3 from the lost one

    6 GIR – dropped 1 1/2

    7/11 up and downs – very happy with that stat, 3 1/2 shots dropped

    32 putts – dropped 3 shots from 2 3 putts and a shirt miss

    Maroochy River next weekend which will be a test

    My understanding is not that a steep swing itself is a problem but rather when the shadt gets steep in transition – ie the clubhead moves towards the ball and gets in front of your hands

    From that position you have to early extend and stall the body so you can throw the club at the ball to get anything like decent contact on it

    I think you can play perfectly good golf with a more upright swing – I don’t think I could physically get the club on the ball from the deep and low position the pros get into as they move into the hitting area

    Well done keeping your composure despite three bad holes

    Thanks. If bad holes ruin your composure golf is going to be a very tough sport! They are so common!

    yet you see it so often when a player loses his cool after a bad shot and carries on seething for quite a while. Unless of course it helps him focus maybe, I doubt it does however.

    I agree

    Lose it for a minute to get through it, but if you hold on and keep being shitty it won’t be good for your game

    A very similar round today at Hills again off 12 starting off 10

    6 over 42 back for 18 points
    7 over 43 front foe 17 points
    13 over 35 points

    2 birdies 6 pars 7 bogies 1 double 1 triple 1 wipe

    5/14 fairways – no dropped shots

    8 GIR – 4 shots dropped from iron into trees and reload on 10 and OOB on 2, 1 from punch shot that hit a tree, 1 from wedge really poorly struck and 1 from a LW pitch from 50m that I thinned through the green, but partially made up for those with a Mini Driver from 225m to about 10ft and 7i to 4ft – by 2 birdies

    3/7 up and downs – not too bad – dropped 4 shots

    36 puts- deopped 4 shots from 3 putts, all from outside 30ft but still not good enough

    Disappointing to have 2 holes worst than doubles, but Hills tests your game and it caught me

    Highlight was the Mini Driver on 1 to just behind the back left pin – didn’t know until I’d walked quite a ways up from where I hit it because trees blocked the green

    Should flag but will only be a small drop – won’t get me under 10.0

    Much better today at McLeod, but off 12 off the blues which certainly helps

    2 birdies 5 pars 7 bogies 4 doubles
    4 over 42 19 points front
    7 over 42 16 points back

    6/13 fairways – dropped 1 driver and 1 hybrid into trees – both pushes
    Started to get my driver back online towards the end of the round – got aligned right was I think the main help

    6 GIR, 5 Texas – dropped 4 shots from poor irons and 2 from poor punches, but +1 for a 7i to 5ft for birdie and +1 for LW 3rd shot to 6ft for par

    4/10 up and down – 4 1/2 dropped
    1 drop 1/3 from sand
    1 1/2 drop LW chips
    2 drop Texas 3/5
    Very happy with that as also had 4 pitches in the 40m range and 3/4 were good and gave me some shot at par after poor approaches for 3 of them and a birdie chance for the other

    30 putts – 3 1/2 dropped – 1 3 putt and 3 short misses

    Happy generally but need to keep that driver straighter

    Played with the Brisbane Fairways on a sponsors exemption, white tees at the Glades

    1 over off the stick, 39pts and it was comp round! Off 4 And as a guest can’t win the event:)

    Best round I’ve had in several years. Just consistent ball stringing and left a few putts out. 3 birdies on back 9

    Good to meet JRO and to hit with kenny again. Oh yea. Weetie had a rough day. Watch his post here:(. Not the pop though

    It was great to watch today mate

    Only 1 drive that put you in any trouble that I can recall

    Didn’t drop a putt if any real size – could have easily been a sub par round with the tiniest bit of luck

    Played the par 5s amazingly!

    You’ll be right. You’ve got the Barnesy, “testing round” down pat. You should do just enough to win the day without doing any damage to the cap. 😃😉

    Fun but terrible golf day today at Glades

    Great to have a hit with Mads who played some very nice golf

    Unlike me

    4 pars 8 bogies 4 doubles 2 wipe doubles
    20 over off 9 for 25 points

    6 Fairways 4 shots dropped including a wipe from the two on 16

    4 GIR 3 dropped but plenty of misses into bunkers which cost me plenty

    3/17 up and down 10 dropped

    36 putts 3 dropped

    Nothing good golf wise

    Still love the course

    Gailes today off 9
    Started with a string of 1 point bogies before finally making a 2 point par on 4
    Made the turn 5 over and 17 points
    Back 9 was poor and had 9 over and 14 points for 31 points total

    Out to 10.0

    4 FIR – dropped 2 shots off the tee, was a bit all over with pulls and then back to the push fades with driver

    6 GIR – dropped 4 shots plus another couple of bad shots that I’ll mark as half shots dropped

    7 over long game isn’t close to good enough

    4/14 short game – dropped 5 plus 2 other half shots

    32 putts – dropped 3 shots, made 1 long putt for birdie

    Not great preparation for Glades next week
