Must have been something in the air last night Coz I shot 37!
I play off 20 so my twilight handicap is 10
On a twilight 9 that is just played on the front half of course par 34
Think it was just the relaxed nature and 1 or 2 frothies
I'm in same boat as you Fisty, wonder what my next score will be

played the back nine
best bit was beat a mate who plays with my brother, he had 22pts and was pretty confident of winning the comp.

there were 2 boggies the 11th and 18th, but birdied the 10th.
had 2 other birdie puts aswell, one lipped out and other missed cup by about 3 inches.

Handicaper wasnt to bad to me, ive dropped from 22 to 20.

haha sturtman, i need somewhere to brag!

That is where I go wrong. I have putts and you have puts.
Wish I could have puts out of bunkers too ;)
For every one I miss I am closer to a hole in one.

Played Victor Harbor on Australia Day weekend. Great conditions. Greens super quick too (compared to what I'm used to anyway)

Had a disastrous front 9 but came home ok with a 48 on the back 9. Birdied the 15th, which was a highlight in a day of relative lowlights. Haha.

Must play there again some time.

I was putting for a birdie on the par4 7th at Port Augusta on Friday and three putted. Pushed the first one six feet past the hole and the second lipped out and sat on the rim while I swore uncontrollably so good on ya for the birdie at 15. Was it par 4?

Fair bit of it is.... I don't have a very good putting stroke to begin with. When my head messes with it it gets worse :oops:

Yeah, boomed a 280m drive up between two water hazards, 50m from the pin, chipped on, nailed a straight 3m putt. Very lucky to miss the hazards.

280m off the tee is first class. Let me guess, stiff shaft 9 degree loft.

Couldn't tell you. Hired the clubs as left mine at home.

I hit it the hardest I could, it was a low percentage swing of the club that remarkably came off.

Its big but not first class
I would say 300 is first class.
I would regularly drive 250 with one or maybe 2 drives going 280-290 a round.

Yeah, 250 is generally my distance. Gave this one all I had. Have driven 300m with slight breeze behind me. If anyone has played The Dunes lately, you can easily drive 300m without wind. The ball just keeps rolling. :shock:
