Half Moon Bay

Played here on a recommendation from a mate, initially was thinking Cairns and did try to book in there just in case I couldn't get in here.

Friendly people, but I guess when the weather is as it is most of the time, no reason to be grumpy
Had a "premium" hire set. Few taylormade sim clubs from 3w, hybrid, 4-sw. Putter got no idea and an old cleveland driver.
The initial email had me walking which was no drama, but got paired with a lively Brisbane lad of 80yo, who was escaping the Brisbane cold for 6-7 weeks and a member Wazza.

The warning was accuracy is a must.
A few times that hurt me.
There were quite a few doglegs and some blind driving shots.
Did follow the other two's advice on a few holes.
Only lost 2 balls. One on a blind tee shot i hit the ball a little too well and think it ran down the hill into the mangroves.
Other on 17, a bloody tree in middle of fairway. Aimed a little to the left, absolutely creamed it but had a fade. Smashed the tree and Wazza says that's going in the water, 2 bounces and in....

SW goes a mile.
7i was solid.
Driver ok.
3w solid.
Putting was ok. Blundered a few holes.

Ended with 30pts. Happy with that.

Yesterday

Just garbage. Felt like I'd never played. 22pts

Today

2 birdies in first 4 holes.
24pts after 9
Finished with 41

God only knows where that came from

Win the comp?

Win the comp?

Lost on countback.
I was monitoring the leaderboard when the competitor had 4 holes left and needed 12pts to tie which was good enough for countback.

38pts today and won on countback

driver now has a fadey slice gonna take some getting used to that

the dam is about 80%, so the next week of rain will be great for the course and heading into spring/summer the course will be in superb condition

[mighty_tiger_79]

After yesterday's debacle I did set up for the vanilla slice. Was ok. But feels so awkward setting up and aiming left.
Short game was really good. Few decent putts. Horrible conditions.
39pts

and won the comp!

Good to see the Flaggy dam nearly full

Day off on Friday so playing the comp at the Vines, then off for the Brown Jacket event at Compass on Sunday, it will be cooooold but looks like rain will stay away. Haven't play Compass since 2020 so looking forward to it.
