Does anyone want a pass for 4 for a round of golf at Club Mandalay? Off The Bench on SEN sent me one for me sending them tonnes of audio blooper gold in recent years

we could arrange a Big Footy round for the regular posters on here?

Guess the field is set now. One Aussie and one New Zealander in his age division that I caught. Looked like 150 or so are in.

I've seen that Isaac Riches on a few social media platforms, seems like a talented young fella.

Yes, all these kids are incredible. Alex has been paired with Sam Terry and Jackson Harris in events and its unreal what these kids do.

Not a round, but just got back from Gold Coast where I checked out Top Golf. Can be pretty pricey, but a cool layout and good options with the food and drinks too.

 

[wasupwidat]

Shot 110 today playing 2 on 9 holes. Took 3 hours to finish as there were groups everywhere. Was doing okay, but lost it on the last 2 holes unfortunately.

Looks like a ton of fun

109 today, ball striking is getting better, especially on the chipping. Was let down this weekend by the putter.

Entertaining past weekend. Saturday, Little AC went shot for shot with another boy down the stretch. They boys remained tied from the fifth hole until they stepped to the tee at the ninth. It included Little AC rolling in a 28 footer to save par on the seventh hole and the other boy having just watched that, rolling in a 7 footer to stay equal. Last hole was Par 4, 305 with water cutting across about 15 yards in front of green. The other boy laid up on his second. Little AC was about 135 to the pin (had used 3 wood off tee cause wanted to make sure the sucker was on fairway) and needed to carry about 120. He asked if he should lay up, which actually caught me by surprise as he is always a go for it guy. I told him if he was playing to try to win the tourney he should let er rip. He did and he won by 1 shot.

Next day he started off on fire and hit the Par 4, 4th hole in regulation but inexplicably 4 putted. That let everyone back in it and it was back and forth until the 9th when he had the opportunity to win with 2 putts but ended up with 3. First playoff hole was Par 4, 300 yards. Driver, 8 iron to middle of green and this time, got the 2 putts for Par and another W. Showed a little something shaking off the 9th green and also finally won a playoff as he was very much aware of and vocal to me about how he never won one before. (0-3 to that point)

That mathematically wrapped up the summer session with one to go this coming Saturday. So will punch his ticket for 2019 World's officially this coming weekend. Great thing about that is can pick and choose when and where he plays in Fall and Spring.

Booked to play at Royal Selagnor (reciprocal) in KL. Looks pretty smish. I looked at their reciprocal clubs in Australia and they have a terrific array of clubs their members have access to

I had 36pts yesterday apparently. Was in a rush as I had to pick up my children from school and left the scoring for my partner. A wash on the last became a 4 a 3. On Tuesdays the result isn’t done until later today. Should I try and fix it?

Why wouldn't you? Definitely should

 

[Lebbo73]

yes.

Why wouldn't you? Definitely should

I was going to try and fix it before I posted my previous message but they usually don’t care. I rang the golf administrator 6 hours ago and he said he will fix it. Nothing yet!

 

[Pres]

Played 13th Beach (Beach) on the weekend for the first time in a few years. Just fantastic fun and course in perpetually great shape. $75 inc comp fee for a Saturday afternoon round.

Can't beat that for value.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Boy had to remain upright and finish tournament yesterday--happy to report he did so. Everything else was completely forgettable on the day.

Overall, a good summer especially adjusting to big leap in yardages and has 2019 invite in hand.

We leave for North Carolina on Saturday and first event is father/son 9 hole shotgun best ball Monday morning.

This is the event I am most looking forward to--I know it's the least important for him

Stacks up well if you can get away occasionally during the week for golf. The free rounds all are midweek only.

Their "Events" are typically Sundays however - although you have to pay for those.

 

[GAsnr]

Haven't played in a couple of months, been a very busy period with new internship and full time uni. Venturing out tomorrow for a swing. Will be rough and have packed a few extra balls accordingly.

 

[Pklz]

I haven't had a swing for about 2 months either due to work and lack of motivation in this cold weather. Will get my first Saturday off for a while this weekend so might have a hit. It's monthly medal though and I'm going to be very very rusty.

 

[peternorth]

No time this week, probably good considering the conditions in past two days.
A week ago was strolling around Royal Selangor, hot and humid. Now this. sigh.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Little guy played in a county junior golf tourney this morning. Division he fell under was 13U. Shot a 35 and missed a 4 footer on the last for a 34. Won the age division, so about as perfect a final tune up before we head south on Saturday as he could have done.

Now its off to face the big dogs. I want him to just have fun and I would be happy no matter where he finished. However, Mr. Competitive was steaming over his missed putt on the last in a tournament he owned from beginning to end.

I left to shower and head for work as he was meeting with a reporter, so god only knows what the boy said. Should make for an interesting read in the morning.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Funny, I clearly recall he didn't feel great about a couple shots during the round...seems the boy already knows how to put a spin on his round.
