I’m fortunate that golf in Australia is relatively affordable, especially in the area I live. There are clubs that range in price USD255-USD1800 annual fees within 30 minutes from my home. We can play all year round so even better value compared to those with limited seasons. Perhaps the best value golf anywhere is at Barnbougle in Tasmania. World rated golf for USD160 or 95 for locals.

Somehow managed to sneak a win in interclub pennant. Scratch matchplay, struggled off the tee all day but short ame was working well. All square going up the last, opponent in very good position 30 yards short of the green, me in the trees 60 yards out. Had a tough shot, with very little margin for error, hit it to about 18 feet. Opponent thinned it a bit, to about 20 feet past the pin. He rolled his putt 3 feet past, I hit an awful putt about 6 feet short. Rolled mine in dead centre, he rushed his and hit his worst putt of the day. Really nice kid(16 yo) with a very solid swing. Don’t like my chances if I come up against him in the next few years

No idea, I just used the one from the original thread started a few years ago and added a new sheet for this year. I’ll ave a look when I’m on the PC next (can’t access it on the iPad)

Did a bit of everything. Full swing irons, a few drivers, some putting and a bit of short game work. Tried something different with my irons. Didn’t aim at all, just swung the club. Lined up with the divot line I was making and swung. Ball flight was very solid, and consistency was great. Putting worked mainly on distance control doing ladder drill. Short game hit random pitches from 20-40 yards. Kept it short and sweet as things were working well

I normally walk, but recent health issues meant I need to manage it a bit. I feel like I have better rhythm walking than in a cart

Really happy with my round today. Golf was solid, 7 over playing off 7. Disappointing finish, four over for the last 3. Best part was I walked the entire 18. Was thinking I’d probably cart the back 9 but was feeling good so decided to keep walking. Throttled back the pace a little compared to normal but still kept up. Drove it solid, irons ok and putting mostly good. So happy I was able to walk the course comfortably

I think I might have used all my luck by being in the right place at the right time, as my GP told me, “ You’re a winner”

Now I need to look at the Vokey wedge selector, because I’m definitely winning this

First Tie Breaker 2 over Second Tie Breaker Christo Lamprecht

Got to the practice fairway for some full swings and rolled a few putts on the practice green. Putting was solid, full swing less so but it was great to just be out there

Welcome aboard, what’s the Stench

I’ve been thinking about moving into the “players distance” iron space for a while. After my recent health scare I might get permission. My youngest has even started lobbying the finance manager on my behalfHer line was “if he died we’d have less money than having him alive and buying golf clubs” Subtle as a truck that one. I’ve had a hit of my mates TM790s, easily a club further with a good descent angle, so they’ll be on the list. Will probably look at all the options in the space and hopefully end up with something that works for me

Looks awful but a great result after fighting with a chainsaw. Not often that you get that much damage without a lot more. Chainsaw amputated fingers also don’t go back on very well so you’ve done well not to lose any. Make sure you follow your rehab if needed

All is going well (apart from the food) Had 2 more stents put in another vessel. It was reasonably tricky but went very well. Unfortunately I’m a statistical outlier, as I have virtually no risk factors. Hoping that bodes well for the future Get to go home tomorrow morning, just in time to farewell my youngest who begins a minimum 8 month trip to Europe/UK on Wednesday. Hopefully only a couple of weeks off golf, but I will be doing everything by the book and won’t be rushing into anything

Thanks mate, appreciate it. The food situation is made even worse by the fact I was supposed to be going to a seriously good restaurant tomorrow for anniversary dinner
