out of the Club Champs with a 107 yesterday. :(
putting was poor....long island greens so slick and subtle unlike at National. Many of us struggled on a course unfamiliar to us.

Spent 1hr on putting yesterday, I've had the yips for about a month. Paid dividends today. No 3 putts. Plenty of up and downs. Scored 36 which is ok (with a wash and a few 1 pointers).

Just watching the oz open, how clutch is Spieth with that putter. Amazing.

A little update since my week ban ended on Friday.
I shot 80/67 (par 70) at my home course on Wednesday 10/11/16.
I was 16pts after 7 holes when golf was washed out on Saturday 13/11/16.
35pts last Tuesday after having 12pts on the front 9 to start.
39pts on Wednesday.
92/80 (par 72) at another course on Friday.

All at City Golf Club Toowoomba with a slope of 130, except the 92/80 which was a Toowoomba Golf Club with a slope of 123. I blame lack of sleep for that poor round. I squeezed it in between a lot of functions that I worked as it was The Challenge that is played on the third Friday of every month.

Good job mate!

I reckon we almost need a registry here of handicaps so we can keep track of each others lol.
Was your lack of sleep due to excitement?
I like blaming the grass for my poor shots/games. It's either too green or not green enough lol.

Im golfed out (for now). 6 rounds in 2 weeks!

Working behind the bar and cleaning up after formals. I didn't get more than 5 and half hours sleep for 5 nights straight.

My home course has the same slope of 130, very much a game management type course.

I wonder how much lack of sleep contributes towards poor golf. If I play Sat and Sun, I'm usually in bed at ~1-2am and then up again at 5.45-6.15am. I wonder if I went to bed at 10-11pm instead whether I'd see a marked improvement.

I agree with that but at the same time one of my best cards I've ever handed in was after a big night on the turps and very little sleep haha.

Lucky you toxic - it is a great track!
No need for a sand wedge - no bunkers but it can still get tight in a few areas.

We usually have an annual boys trip over there (but we missed this year unfortunately)
Only advice is don't play on minimal sleep & plentiful piss as it affects my game!

Lack of sleep isn't usually the sole problem. It is a lack of sleep surrounded by work and then sneeking in a game of golf in-between. Haha.

I have played twice this week at my home course (City Golf Club, Toowoomba). I shot 91/78 on Tuesday and then played yesterday and shot 81/68. It could have easily been 5 shots better yesterday. I am too loose and need to be mentally stronger.

Happy golf indeed

I went out on Thursday for an hour of practice, mostly irons/wedges and I'd never hit balls worse in my life. Played 9 holes yesterday evening and although wasn't great off the tee my irons were fantastic. Finished the 9 with 19 points with two wipes, two!

The rough is so thick at the moment both me and my playing partner went right off the tee (usually a pretty safe place to miss as well) into the rough. Neither of us are long hitters so we knew basically the area where they ended up within ~10m but both balls never to be seen again.

The results are in. I tee'd off around the same time as usual (7.45) BUT I went to bed at 10.20pm last night (instead of my usual 1-2am) and woke up at 5am (instead of 6). And...

I shot my lowest score ever :$:$:$

41 total.
22 on the front with a wash and a 1 pointer.
19 on the back with a wash.

8 pars 2 birdies.

Feelsgoodman.

I think it's crystal clear, sleep aids not only memory retention but also golf!
I think part of it was also that I was up almost 3hrs before my tee time, instead of 50min before my tee time. My body was warm and not stiff. Makes for a much more fluent swing.
