Massive thud back to earth for me yesterday!

Tuesday Comp everyone off Red Tees

Played of plus, which was not enjoyable at all.

Red tees are certainly a challenge as it brings in so much trouble in to play off the tee and trust me i found most of it! I went OB 3 times off the tee and in the Water twice! The OB's you'd never reach off the Blue Tee's but Red Tees you certainly can.....

I will certainly have a different mindset when playing the Red Tees next time.

Finished Nett 83 ](*,) #-O #-O

North Adelaide South Course and I can’t play

I say this with all due respect, boo f*cking hoo.

I love how sincere you are

It’s Mitch Hinges golf day anyway, I don’t want to hear about the f**king Crows all day.

1st round of club champs Saturday, f@%k it was windy.

With conditions the way they were i actually felt like i played well.

Bogey start (par 3), Double the 3rd therefore 3 over after 3 and i'm nearly on suicide watch, birdie on 6, lipped out for Eagle on 9, made the birdie turned with 38 could've been sooooo much worse, so was happy enough with that, especially in the conditions. Then had 3 good par's in a row, step on the 13th tee block normally a PW for me (when pin is up the front), ridiculously strong wind, it wasn't a breeze it was a bloody gail! was thinking 8 Iron, it was that strong with the Pin right up the back i choked down on a 7 Iron, tried to roll it on, but NO i pulled it that far left heading OB it hit the fence and bounced back in! Took the bogey and walked off, Lucky very lucky.

Bogey 15, Double 16, bogey on 17 and 18 finished 79 off the bat. terrible finish but overall pretty happy.

1x73, 1x74, 2x76's, 1x78 and then 5x 79's still in the mix i guess.

Backed Saturday up with Tuesday comp this morning.

Windy again, which in a stupid way i was happy with, tried a few things, some worked some didn't, my putting was off big time, that's unusual for me as i'm normally a good putter, with that being said i didn't get my wedges close enough i guess, therefore they're 6-8ft putts instead of 3-4ft putts.

31 Points.

It's scary for you that we think alike, i said that word for word on Saturday.....

Hard day at work today ;)

The lad and i had an 'On course lesson' at Nth Adelaide this afternoon. We have a lesson every 5-6 weeks, but we've never had an on course lesson. In a way it was good as he gets to see all aspects of your game, but the only part i didn't like was he asked what i would like to work on the most, i replied driver.

We played 6 holes but only 3 warranted driver and i nailed all 3! #-o I actually wanted him to see what i've been doing wrong as late, but as i said they were all really nice drives. After the lesson we stayed on and played the final 3 holes.

Finished at Nth Adelaide and headed to Twilight, the lad and i being as competitive as we are, played handicap match play for $50, the first (par 3) i put a 7iron to 4 foot the lad puts a 6iron over the back i give a little lip then Bang! slam dunks his wedge and i 2 putt :roll: he gets a shot on 4,5,7 and 8 long story short i'm 1 up with 1 to play, 9th Par 4 i drive just short of the green, he drives pin high but right (strong breeze behind us) i put my 56 to 4-5 foot he puts his second in the pot over the back, again i mouth off and yep he holes it! i 2 putt to finish square.

Moral of the story, no more yapping.

i had 38 for 18 points, he had 42 for 18 points.

Any player wanting to change clubs goes into a draft, held immediately at the conclusion of the AFL draft, live streamed on the SA Footballer Facebook page. Clubs are ranked in reverse order from Div 7-1 (e.g Hackham #1 pick, PAOC last). Players can nominate what they wish to be paid, clubs can decide if willing to pay and pick players accordingly until no players left in draft pool.


Can I grab a kilo of you?

Thanks

Lehmann is suppose to be our captain and best player but take away his ton first up and he’s struggling big time.
We just don’t have a genuine top class shield batter


He is in the side simply because of his surname. terrible batsmen and cant bowl. I rank him a dirty slapper at best.

We'll continue to be a laughing stock until we fix the grade system, bread our own SA players and stop chasing second hand duds from other states.

Sooooo, going back a few weeks ago, i was a little 'merry' down the local and caught wind of an opportunity to join a syndicate where we were buying in to 2 Wayne Francis trained horses, it was 'has to be done straight away were buying shares off a bloke who was getting divorced blah blah blah, as you can imagine after several bevvies deep, and thinking really clearly I'm in, I'm in where do i sign up get me a pen now! No Shaun, No relax, the syndicate manager will contact you in the coming days, sure enough he did the next day and we got the deal done.

Proud part of a syndicate in 2 horses, now for the hard part, telling the Mrs! It didn't go down that well, although she didn't go totally mental as i was clever and told the kids first as i knew there excitement would be through the roof, that smoothed it over. Happy days.

That was until Thursday just gone when i got a phone call for another 'opportunity' to add 2 more horses to the syndicate and that i did! that didn't go down well, my reply 'Well you didn't go nuts on the first 2' therefore your fault....... :lol:

Long story short, 2 are ready for first starts, it's just been confirmed 2 are having their first runs Tuesday at Morphettville.

The horse the trainer has the biggest % share of won its trail last week and looks a nice horse.

Looking forward to this little bit of fun.

Fast Bubbles and Care too much.

I’ll post my $25 bet for race 8 in the morning, but my horse for the cup is;

#4 Breakup

I like the 3, but i simply can't go past this;

MR8 #11 Right to Party

From myself, Dutchy, JK and Lightning McQueen we thank you all for getting involved, we've got a lot to watch today so good luck to all and let's bring it home large!

If anyone is keen to get involved next year let me know, we will have to become Facebook / Messenger friends though. :lol:

You and Daisy Facebook friends.

‘I’d like to see that’ lol :D

Afternoon all,

That time of the year again where i'm undertaking "The longest day" I understand not everyone will be in a position to donate, but this is a great cause against the beast that is cancer, its ripped our family apart losing my sister at 28 and now watching my mother face this challenge everyday, some days better than others but, typically it's a bloody struggle for her everyday. As stated Cancer has hit us all as families at some stage somewhere along the line, every dollar counts.

Thanks in advance guys, much appreciated. At absolute worst, you can hear the pain i'll be in walking 72 holes........ ;)

Shaun

I paid $2025 for 3 days on the 12th Green.

I’ll likely get some tickets through work, but wasn’t risking it.

Got the leave pass yet?

Haven't told her yet.

Very Un-India like innings (after the 10th over) no intent at all.

God I wish Matthew Haydon would STFU.

Worse than Daisy Pearce, I didn’t realise how bloody annoying he is.

We’ve got “Care too much” running around at Balaklava tomorrow (#2 in the second.)

We were really keen until we drew the Carpark in gate 11.

Waiting to hear if we’ll burn some fuel early to get across or take a sit and ride for some luck, only 1050m don’t want to be to far back.

Either way I’ve had a go at it.

$6 and $2.25

Twilight last night.

17 Points
Felt like i played a lot better, but putting was off. Tee to Green was very solid.

6 pars 3 bogeys (I get a shot on 2 of these holes)

Just a Bump- As its next Friday. ;)

I’ll repay you by letting you get me as a ring in for a golf day. Ok deal.

Thanks again.

Wash your mouth out.

Don't ever underestimate how sh!t or how low or even how much this group can let you down.

Twilight last night (Stroke)

2 over after 2!

Finished 2 over. 3 x Bogeys and 1 x Birdie (on index 1 as well).

I'm actually leading our Twilight comp overall.

Nope. She'll continue to threaten mens masculinity with Channel 7

EFA
It has nothing to do with her gender or fivehead, I genuinely switch off when having to listen to her commentate, I’m a huge supporter of women’s football and my manhood isn’t intimidated by my support.

Having said that, I dislike listening to Brian Taylor and Dermie equally as much.

How dare you be entitled to your own opinion.

Now everyone on here are chartered accountants.

I love this site.

Now i'm a Redbacks Man, but has there been a more disappointing team than the Stars? They're proper sh!t......


Yes, I'm including the Redbacks.

Anyone going to the twilight meet tomorrow?

I’ll be there got one running in the 3rd.

The 3rd is 4.20pm we’re meeting at the Warradale at 12.

I know how this ends.

carey WTF happened in the run? Just green?

Concentrates and goes very close to winning


Edit just watched the replay, looked like it tried to jump something, then badly held up


Jockey claims he jumped really well then got spooked, lost 3-4 lengths then when got a run was hitting the line hard just had no where to go.

Trainer wasn’t overly concerned and was happy with the run.

Also cut his leg when in loading the barriers, they reckon had the vet seen it they would’ve scratched him at the barrier.

Disappointed, absolutely disheartened, definitely not.

Rocked up to golf yesterday as hung over as 10 sailers and shot 39 points with 2 scrubs.

What could’ve been.

Sounds stupid, but I didn’t actually do anything great, I just didn’t do anything wrong. (Apart from the 2 scrubs) :lol:


How did you go in The Longest Day?

If not the hardest thing I’ve ever done, ridiculously close to it. Still have 2 blisters from it, albeit nearly gone. Teed off at 5.10am and finished about 6.45pm I was both mentally and physically fatigued definitely drained me. Over 35kms all walked.

So glad I did it tho, cancer council were amazing on the day random cancer patients come down walked a few holes with me, seriously put things in perspective when they’re thanking you so much for what you’re doing. I don’t care how big and tough you are I had the biggest lump in my throat seeing and hearing the stories I was so close to breaking down when a young girl told me her story. Cancer doesn’t discriminate that’s for sure.

Rips your heart out. If me doing that can help in anyway shape or form I’m obliged to do it, and will happily continue to do so.

Raised just over $15k next year I want to break the $20k mark.

Mid Week comp. Stableford 33 Points

Started really well, Birdie, Par, Birdie, Par, Par just hitting the ball really well. Then the wind picks up, i have a high ball flight affected me a little bit but was still going ok, 20 points after 9 holes.

We were a group of 4, we then let a group of 3 through which held us up almost every hole on top of this had an issue at work and my phone literally didn't stop. Back 9 13 points Yuck, almost lost interest.

Twilight tomorrow night, Thursday comp then Murray Bridge Saturday.

We’ve got a first starter going around tomorrow, Race 4 #5 Prodigal Lad.

For me, it’s a big watch.

Again, trainer seems upbeat (but when aren’t they) could’ve raced at Gawler, Stath and Balaklava but choose a $50k race first up, I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Looks a bloody tough maiden race, 16 runners and we’ve drawn the Carpark (barrier 13) although the rails 13m out on the course proper I would suggest we would be looking for a bit of luck and Potter picking the right path, but again probably based on the tempo of the race.

Fingers crossed.

Had zero idea about how to race but was a pretty good run, not beaten that far

Spot on, he'll be much better for the run. I was happy the way he hit the line, only beaten by 2.5 lengths.

Morning all,

You summed it up well, 3 days in corporate boxes led to my down fall :lol: Day 1 and 2 ended up at the Casino then Woolshed, Day 3 was the Strathmore then had a solid full days sleep! #-o

More importantly we started our Pennant season last Sunday so leading in to this i went and got a lesson on the Wednesday to ensure i was hitting the ball ok.
When getting a lesson he videos the lesson through his coaching app to highlight any issues you have with the swing plane, this particular lesson was an on course and was lucky enough to nail a hole in one (my first) and have it on video! Obviously not in a comp, but i'm certainly claiming it.

Pennants last week I won 5 and 4, this week i was 4 up after 8 holes and lost 1 down monumental choke! His back 9 was very good.

Hitting the ball pretty well at the minute.

Sandown R5 #7 Mr Trafficanti. Was on last start at Flemington where it loomed into the race strongly but was held up for most of the straight. Also struck interference the race prior. Sandown's long straight suits, stays at the 1600m, Blake Shinn on board is a plus. Took $6 yesterday, into $4.80 this morning.

Belmont R7 #2 Starcienne. Quite taken by this mare who gets back and storms home. Stunning prep this time last year winning 4 on the bounce. Lean patch from March to September but appears to have returned in that customary condition with a brilliant first up win at Belmont on January 10. Retains Jordan Turner in the saddle from that win, steps up to 1400m with a solid record over the track and trip. $4.80 is a fair price IMO. Keen on it winning but based on the first up run, should be top 3 today and giving this a good shake.

Terrible ride by Shinn.

Literally gave him no chance of winning.

From (limited) viewing over the years the best players in any individual D7 side get a game in any D1 side (and indeed blokes like Liam Davis turn out to be in the best handful of players in D1).

The bigger difference is once you get into players 11-21 you are looking at C/D Graders at the bigger/more successful clubs like PAOC, TTG, Golden Grove etc, hence why they've been able to historically hold their own playing D7.


Please don't talk common sense and make valid points, it simply has no place on this site.

It's my time, i can feel it......

I've had a huge pre season.

Lost our super 3's final Saturday on the first playoff hole.

Field of 56 players, play 9 holes of stroke play then the top 32 go in to a 3 hole handicap match play (Holes 1, 17, and 18 perfect lay out for where our club is situated) then top 16, top 8, top 4 and then obviously the final.

9 Holes- 37 for nett 35 Qualified me 7th
Round of 32- Won 2 and 1
Round of 16- Won 2 and 1
Round of 8- Won 1 up (this was a great comeback)
Round of 4- Won 1 up
Final- I lost on the first playoff hole. we were obviously square after the 3 holes. Worst part was i 3 putted ](*,)

Awesome concept, great fun and being handicapped, it's obviously open to all golfers. We had live music on the edge of the 18th with a bar set up 2 x marquees to create a party hole vibe, from the edge of the green you can also see the 1st green and the tee offs on 17.

Great day, just a pity i choked.....

For those playing at home, Kelsey Hannan is fine she'll be home tomorrow and the remainder of the meet will be concluded on Friday.

Twilight tonight.

I'm leading the shield, but tonight was round 1 of the Twilight Championship (3 rounds of stroke off the stick) played really well, although it could've been a lot better! I was 2 under after 7 holes.

Finished even 35

Hitting the ball really well at the minute.

I feel a bit for Boon

He posts a tip and everyone queries its form

Whilst it might’ve come across that way, certainly wasn’t my intention. I’ve backed it!

I’m also with Broad in a sense of I love people posting in here and giving tips out.

Boon also stated it’s a black book, some of my black books have shocking form! :lol:

Twilight last night, nothing great, but nothing horrible.

37 for nett 35.

Can't even think of a highlight to list........

Is that round 2 of your twilight champs?

No highlights with a 37 :roll: I'd have 20 of them :lol:

It is, I'm equal 2nd

Leader 35, 36
I've gone 35, 37 the bloke i'm equal with 36,36

Were well ahead on the rest of the field. (4-5 shots)

Had a tour yesterday of Finniss Lodge, the home of Wayne Francis and Glen Kents operation and i must say it is absolutely unbelievable. It was so apparent the genuine focus and care for the horses wellbeing and the commitment to the horse always comes first (pardon the pun) was unbelievable.

You can actually see on the website a fly over of the property, but that simply doesn't do it justice, amazing venue.

Sooo much so, i left with another 20% of a horse :lol:
Looks a likely type, 2 YO filly by Sire Headwater, big strong horse, Yet to be named.

Stable has one running Saturday over 1350m that they are very confident on.
