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

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

My partner and I went out last night for the first time of the year in Peterborough, ON. We played one of the few open courses and had a great time. It was only her second time playing golf, but we walked and played a really good round. With a few mulligans, she managed to shoot a 51, and I shot a 48.

Love this challenge - added myself to the spreadsheet (thanks @Peaksy68).  I'm going to start with Pars first - shouldnt' be TOO hard of challenge, but don't think 18 Birdies are doable yet.  

Thought I'd start a new thread for this year. Same spreadsheet is linked here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P9-C6rS1vIO44rYbPDqQgLlTxGxYQtsQHAs31t1j_sU/edit#gid=1292641992
 
Ticked off a couple in my first round for the year, a couple of lip outs kept the tally to two.

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
