me, tazz, youcan, richo(?) Who else?

First up, home club and handicap.

How many years have you been playing, Lurker?

I don't play at all, neither does hubby. Is it something you do together?

Have you played overseas?

[lurker172602]

That's a handy 9 holes tazz. Good luck for the weekend .

I started when my youngest was in pre school tttt, so about 25 years. You'd think I would have learnt by know huh? LOL
Yes, we both play. It's nice to have a round together sometimes.
I haven't played a lot overseas. It's a bit of a hassle travelling with all your gear, but we were fortunate enough to to play around at St Andrews in Scotland last year. We weren't able to get onto the Old Course unfortunately but played the Jubilee course instead. It was a wonderful day and one I'll remember for a very long time 😀

I'm off to play a pennant match today. It's a bit pointless really, we can't make the finals now and nor can our opposition but we still have to travel an hour to play, and the same again next week. Ah well .....

I've been to St Andrews but haven't played there,(I played Royal Troon with my son and one of my OH's

Scots uncles when we were there visiting them).

That's a similar distance that our sides have to travel,(I have played in the past but not this year).

Travelling for nothing can be a downside,(but you do get to play a different course).

Good luck in your match,

Seriously.

Im living in Melbourne- sadly, the weather is not always great for golf- within walking distance to the Royal Park course...I often walk quite near the course, and watch the players on the 3rd and 4th holes..

Beautiful game..Thanks for the cheers

I know what that's like as Melbourne is a little bit like Portland but they don't get the soaked course vthat

Portland gets,(it just rains a lot which isn't ideal for golf).

Good wet weather gear is always a pr-requisite for golf in the Southern part of Vic.

So are you picking up any tips from seeing the players go around?

I started off at a 29 handicap and slowly brought it down by watching how others took their setup and how they

hit the ball,(I've learned more that way and from magazines then from the two lessons I've had),

So you're an old pro then

Mum's husband heads to Asia for golf quite regularly.

I think locally he plays twice a week, veterans and something else.

Bah! I lost on the 18th ! We had s fantastic match, with it getting to no more than 1 up to either of us all the way round. All square on the 18th tee, we noth pushed our 2nd into the free side bunker. She played a beauty to 2ft from the pin, I went too longs ms it was all over 😢. Great match though, I love matchplay, it's my favourite form of bathe game.

Bad luck,(better luck with your next match)

I like match play as well,(we have a 4BBB match play qualifying round next Saturday).

Played the third round of our Championships today and "blew" it big time,(91 of the stick for an eighty nett),

I was leading B grade by two shots on the scratch score and three on handicap but I'm now 7 shots behind

with one round to  go and out of contention).

My draw turned into more of a hook and got me in a "bit" of trouble,

[lurker172602]

Nah, 7 isn't that many. Head down, bum out 😄.

I'm off to play in our Open today. I'm not expecting much because I am VERY tired after a busy couple of days and Iv got "official" stuff to do so my mind isn't really focused.

Have a good one

[go-tazz]

I'll still be trying today but but I'm just not playing well enough,(I've gone backwards since a good first round),

Good luck with that,enjoy the day,

[go-tazz]

Fell one shot short but won the handicap on a countback,
