36pts.
Felt j drove ball better.
Chip n run game was very good.
Scrubbed 13th. Landed, plugged front bunker. Got out of that and then trickled into back bunker, managed to get out in 1 but missed the 20ft putt. Positive was 2 tough bunker shots and got out.

Par comp yesterday, starting on Back 9 and played some of the best golf Ive played for a while, with 43 off the stick and +1 heading to the Front 9.

Bogey on 1st and 2nd meant Id played 11 holes for 10 bogeys and a par. Then it fell apart sadly, came home in 51 and overall -2.

Enjoyed the experience of playing Sat golf, not so much playing off the blue tees

-2 still 34pts.

Blues on the 2nd make it tough, and the par 5 13th, just a very long way to the corner.

It was a bit strange, Blue tees were sometimes only a few metres back from the whites, then others a good 20-25m extra, Ive never played from the upper back tee on the 6th, made it a 190m shot to the middle of the green

On Friday the 21st of November, Yes this Friday! I’m taking on Cancer Council's ‘The Longest Day’ - the ultimate golf challenge. I’ll be testing my skill, strength, and stamina by playing 4 rounds of golf in a single day to raise funds for life saving cancer research. 32kms all walked…….

Here’s why I’ll be doing this;



Cancer has taken an enormous toll on my family. My sister passed away young from undiagnosed Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). Once she was finally diagnosed, we only had two short years before losing her. In that time, she bravely lived her life—marrying and welcoming two beautiful daughters. Tragically, both girls inherited the same condition. Today, my 23-year-old niece has already had half of her bowel removed as a preventative measure.



Then came my mum’s battle. In 2013, she was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma—incurable but manageable. Just when we thought she had some stability, she found a lump in 2021. It turned out to be stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We were told it’s extremely rare to have both cancers. Scans then revealed four additional cancers, the most significant in her spleen. She endured 12 rounds of chemotherapy, 15 radiotherapy treatments, and a frightening bout of pneumonia along the way. Although she eventually reached remission, the pneumonia left her with only 60% lung function, which deeply affects her daily life.



While Mum was fighting for her life, my stepdad began fighting for his. A tiny lump in his throat grew to the size of a golf ball in a week. It was a secondary cancer on his parotid gland. After surgery and 33 rounds of radiotherapy, he survived—but the treatment cost him full function in his jaw. Doctors told him that if he’d waited even a few more days, the outcome would have been completely different.



On top of all of this, my mum has been in and out of hospital every month. And just last week, on Friday, we lost my grandmother, Mum’s mum. It feels like my mum has been dealt blow after blow, and all I want to do is help in any way I can.



Cancer has repeatedly hit my family, and I’ve seen up close the physical, emotional, and financial toll it takes. Through The Longest Day, I’m determined to make a difference for other South Australian families facing cancer. Even the smallest bit of support can help change someone’s story—and that’s why I’m taking part, Cancer has hit us all in some way or another, please give generously to help all the families out there.



Please sponsor me and support my efforts to give back and change lives. One in two Australians will be impacted by cancer by the age of 85 and I want to do something to help change this!



As a majority community funded organisation, Cancer Council relies on the generosity of their supporters to continue saving lives through cancer research, prevention programs, information and support services.

Their work is really important, and I want to do what I can to help. But there is only so much I can do on my own. Any amount you can give makes a difference!

You can also support me by encouraging others to get involved, too. Please email the link to my page to your friends and family, or share it on social media.

Thank you so much for your support - it is truly appreciated.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Twilight

Make a mistake and its day over.

Played with a half bag.
Driver was really trying to exaggerate a tennis forehand topspinner. Hit them nicely. On 15th was left with 70m
Too many 1 pointers

11

Par tomorrow

Hopefully something around -5 or better

Back to Mt Osmond today for another golf day, ambrose with a difference, all 4 tee off then whoever's ball you use doesn't hit and this continues until ball is on green when all 4 can putt. Makes it a bit tougher but also fairer for those groups that dont have a gun in their group.

Bloody cold and windy for most the day but better than working, they are still doing a lot of work on some holes, would avoid for another month or so
