weathers good...rain late

Looking like it might be okay around midday, am waiting a couple of hours to see

 

[peternorth]

Tee off in a few hours.

 

[juss]

Managed to get out for 9 holes. First round since April, Felt good. Been flushing them at the range, then discovered again that form off the mat doesn't translate to the course
Rediscovered what it means to have bad lies, sloped lies, dirt, divets, weeds and sand.

Was actually pretty happy with my score, pretty much bang in the middle of my average at this course, and only 2 strokes worse than the last time I played here in March.

Putting and short game was atrocious though, to be expected given I haven't practiced either in a long time, and these greens were wet and very bumpy, they must have been cored recently.

Trying to book a lesson soon to focus solely on the driver, because I left that in the bag so I was costing myself probably 20-40m off the tee, albeit a straighter than I would be with driver.

Highlight of the day, 9th hole chip from a metre off the green rolled into the hole, lowlight was stone cold topping my tee shot off a 100m par 3 straight into the pond in front of me, and 4 putting twice.

A hit of golf today. The greens have come up a treat after a disappointing opening from lockdown. Dewy morning meant slow pace, but as it evaporated the ever familiar brilliant roll was back. Focussed on correcting a part of my swing and it seemed to work well. 19 points from 9 testament to that. Stopped after more holes due to oncoming precipitation

Back to back games tomorrow and Sunday in Bendigo region

Busting for a hit - but bloody sore from a little car accident yesterday

 

[Maddo11]

Played 9 after work today. +3 after 7, choked to finish +5, 40 total.

Doubled the 8th, then lipped out a birdie putt on 9.
Tied my record. should have beat it.

I've been working on changing my driver swing too, I've found teeing the ball up higher and thinking about hitting up on the ball seems to be taking a heap of side spin off it and turning my 20-40m misses into 5-15m misses. Hopefully that holds

 

[peternorth]

Wild day at golf. The wind was unrelenting and so was my s**t play. Lol. Gave up keeping score after 6. Just tried to get through without losing all balls.

 

[peternorth]

(to 4 ball)

 

[hawkman]

So much more enjoyable when hitting middle of fairway middle of the green more than once a round. Would be nice to actually make a putt though

 

[GoodesStuff]

26 points today. Very ordinary but the weather was perfect at least.

 

[toxic]

39 points around Royal Bendigo GC

Could have easily been 40+ except for three mishit 2irons

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

39 points off 5. Three birdies.

Also included a double bogey after an inexplicable topped drive on the toughest hole on the course.

That sucks but it's a great question. When did you last top the ball off of the tee?

A fair while back. Especially with driver. Would guess maybe 1-2 times a year it happens.

Every other drive I hit yesterday was spot on.

 

[hawkman]

Finishing with 3 putt par was almost a perfect summary of the round today

Everyday the same golfers on the comp leaderboards at my club. Golfers younger than me, in their 20’s and 30’s. How are there so many people out there than can afford to play 18 holes every day?

WFH flexibility, or have their own businesses

I get the feeling daddy pays their pay.

Youre at a private club yes? What are the annual subs and joining fee?

FIFO? Uni? Maybe just ask them.

Shift work the big one.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

When I was living in NE Vic, I was studying and was in that age group. I was home from Uni by 11 most days...or earlier. Pretty much played 5 rounds during the week (between 2 to 3 hours at golf)....and was back from golf home early to mid afternoon. I found enough time for study/work, golf and home life.

 

[hawkman]

Such a simple thing putting a little bit more weight on my back toes seems to have fixed my driving which i have been struggling with since lockdown ended. Mostly got rid of the slice and put an extra 20 metres on the drive.

Back down in the low 80's for the first time in about 6 months.

 

[GoodesStuff]

37 points today.

Was striking the ball well. Did miss two putts within 3 feet though.

 

[peternorth]

Back to Peninsula Kingswood today. Delightful.
