Yet another messy round. 9 over playing off 6, including the now standard 3 doubles. Couldn't hit the planet with the driver, until the last when I finally got a good one away. Putted solidly, one 3 putt, a very slick downhill, downwind one. Wind was up, about 3 clubs worth. Really need to remove the multiple doubles that are killing me.

Strange round of 9 over, playing off 6. Wind was up, blowing 20-25mph. Realised my 8 iron was in my daughters bag just before teeing off, of course I was bang on 8 iron distance for my shot into my first hole. Had 3 over on my first 9, only hitting 3 fairways. Had a double after finishing 6 inches from the lip of a fairway bunker. Missed 3 and 10 foot birdie putts. Butchered the the first 3 after the turn, 2 X 3 putts and a couple of brain fades. Got it back together after nearly holing a 70 yard pitch and holing a 15 foot birdie putt. Finished with a 3 putt bogey after shaving the hole for birdie. Hit 5 fairways this side, but couldn't convert.

79 playing in the morning, 1 worse than handicap. Started with a double, and was 4 over after 5. Missed 2 short putts through poor concentration (again) Missed 3 good birdie chances, and left a 20 foot putt 1/2 inch short on the 18th. Not too disappointed, but could have been a lot better.

Bought a set of 3 Scor wedges, 49,53,57. Got a pay rise coming, and doing some OT so thought why not? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Looking at a set of Scor wedges. PGA Superstore has a $20 freight deal to Aus. The exchange rate they use is really high, but the reduced freight makes it tempting. Not sure how the Genius 12 shaft would fit with me, but for $A343 delivered it could be worth a try.

Played in the morning which isn't usually great for me. Conditions were as good as they get this time of year here, but I played my usual morning rubbish. 5 over after the first 4, 6 over for the rest. Had 3 very soft doubles, all the result of poor concentration and decision making. Also missed a tap in through poor concentration. Get to try and improve my morning play next week with another early start.

I hope Spaulding didn't pick his nose.

33 Stableford points (9 over playing off 6) Conditions were atrocious, 20-30mph winds, rain squalls rolling through every 3 or 4 holes, about 50F (do you see how I'm converting for you Americans) Hit the ball reasonably well, short and mid irons let me down. Putted well on wet but quick greens, no 3 putts, and 6 X 1 putts, a couple from 12-15 feet. Pretty happy with result, especially considering I left my rain cover (containing rain gloves) safely in the garage at home.

New work bench, not that I'm allowed to work much. Hopefully the back will feel better and I can swing better.

I thought of you when I put my pin in and the scale changed. Can't get much further than Germany to Australia!

Hope you've got good wet weather gear

My lonely pin will shrink down the map for everyone else, happy to remove it if it makes things easier for the rest.

Even more lonely here.

Just imagine how much more distance you would have got with a SLDR-C!

Aweful Started with 3 doubles in the first 4 holes, handicap gone. Had another double after the only perfectly struck iron for the day. Back nine was much better, only 4 over.

I've been avoiding buying anything for myself lately for that exact reason, especially as my just turned 16 daughter will be getting new clubs soon. It could have been very awkward, especially if she ends up in the same shafts as me.

Played at Port Fairy Golf Club, one of the best value courses in Australia. Wind was blowing at 20+ mph, with most holes playing cross wind. Some great course with 12 holes running along the dunes, one of my playing partners put 2 balls on the beach. Drove the ball well, conditions worsened with some rain blowing through, pretty heavy from 14-18. Was 4 over on the front, 8 over on the back. Had a great time despite the weather.

Played in a 4 ball, hit it pretty solid, except for my 5 iron, which I butchered all day. Really tough conditions, 12C, rain on and off all day and a bit of wind. Soft fairways and greens, but greens rolled very well. I had 8 over, with 3 doubles, other 15 holes were good, could have been better. Difficult to read breaks due to varying amounts of moisture on the greens. Plugged my ball on consecutive greens, once with a wedge from a flyer lie, next hole with a 3 wood!

I think all I would fetch is some vomit.

A Sunice Goretex rain jacket and a pair of Loudmouth Black and White mini shorts. Not for me, my daughter's 16th birthday.

Are you planning on wearing them all at the same time? That would be scary. My tally is four pairs of pants and three pairs of shorts. I've also got a few loudmouth shirts in complimentary colours.

Played 2 man scramble, had a fun day. It was US Open day, otherwise known as "greenkeepers revenge" Crazy pins, guys putted into bunkers or 30 foot past the hole. A few guys dress up a bit so I decided to dress down (I usually wear Loudmouth gear) I rang a mate to borrow some beige pants, me getting into his pants worked for him, as he had a hole in one. Other than the dress ups, my game was solid, drove it well, hit my fairway woods really well and hit a lot of good putts, that unfortunately kept shaving the hole. Greens were running beautifully, quick and true despite a wet week.

Drifted out to 5.6 after the weekend. Had a good score drop off.

Played Saturday in tough conditions, windy a bit cold and toughest pins I've seen at my course. Played off a 6 hcap, 3 x 3 putts, which was the least for my group, ball striking wasn't great but scrambled ok. Ended up 13 over. Played again on Monday, massive change in the weather for the better. Pins were the same as the Saturday round, still crazy tough. Putted well, no 3 putts, missed on disappointing short one. Hit a lot of putts that didn't break as I expected. Couldn't hit a fairway early, and my score reflected that. Out in 42. Next 9 was much better, kept the ball in play. Came in with 39 including a double. Played wth my daughter which made a nice day even better.
