Was Blackbull in yarrawonga

I'm all for newbies playing golf, just teach them etiquette

my apologies. i now realised you said that before re: blackbull.

i agree with what you said

 

[peternorth]

When playing comp, what is the furthest point at which you'll measure your ball on a par 3 and put yourself down for nearest to the hole? I keep seeing people measuring 12-14m. A guy actually won some balls today on almost 10m

1. its gotta land on the green.
2. did you see anyone else come within 10?

Depends on the length and difficulty of the par 3

I am not sure what length of the hole has anything to do with eligibility of NTP

On an easy par 3, I will not go over 3m in a decent field. On a difficult par 3, up to 10m, especially in a small field.

 

[Elixuh]

FWIW the hole where 10m won the balls today is a 98-118m par 3 and has the smallest green on the course. Field was ~150.

peternorth I understand eligibility, I'm more talking about at what point do you bother measuring. I know I wouldn't be getting the pin out and measuring 10-14m.

Also depends on tee time.
If 10 metres early group i don't bother
If 10 metres late in the day then yes

 

[peternorth]

if im in an early group or even if its 10m mid field and im NTP, ill put my name down cause just in case and also i can say i was once leading

 

[peternorth]

32 points 3 wipes on the Ocean course at national. Quite warm, wind not an issue. blistering sunshine.

After some opinions on the best public courses in Melbourne?

Yarra Bend is a gem, Growling Frog, Eynesbury, and Devilbend also nice courses.

Looking to play something different Saturday, any recommendations?

St Andrews Beach (Mornington Peninsula region)

Yep, played the dunes recently as well which was a ripper.

Any suggestions on metro courses Toxic? Have you played Brighton or Malvern Valley?

Yes, don't rate either tbh.
Keysborough a great challenge, Patterson River both nice tracks.
Waterford Valley also but get a cert, its a long walk otherwise

keysborough is a private course isnt it? mate is member there

kingston links is ok, heard its closing down though.

always wondered about albert park

 

[peternorth]

struggled mightily today after yesterdays acceptable round. lack of twisting and turning ability contributed to shithouse play. hit a few fairways off the tee, thinned or chunked shots, lost balls, shanked chips. just poo. and it was hot.

Cheers. Patterson River looks nice.

Playing Royal Melbourne next Monday for the first time. Can't wait! Hope it lives up to its reputation!

Saturday's members only. I'm fairly sure public can get on on Sunday's.

 

[Pklz]

What's Elsternwick like? I drive past it all the time but never played there. Same with cheltenham...

Keys is in ripping condition according to a mate who plays there every week.
And its long, great test of golf

Played 1st comp this morning for 2017 as a visitor at Tatura, hilltop.
Shot 75 off the stick
35 front (par)
40 back (4 over)
Nett 67

Ran out of petrol about the 12th (dble bogey) then scrambled next 6 holes.

 

[Pklz]

Wiped my first two holes today, terrible start, then completely ran out of legs with 4 holes to go. Played in a group of 4. Me and a mate walking and two blokes in a cart. Trying to keep up in the heat was hard yakka.

Need to try play/practice more. When I took up the game I was addicted to it and would go hit balls at any opportunity. Now it's hard to find the motivation outside of playing outside of competition times.

Practice putting at home. Never underestimate the importance of being able to putt straight from 10ft.
Practice short game chip at home.

Benefits will be massive
