2nd year they've done it

Expect new club house end of 24 start 25.

Course is in good nick.
Dam is full so no water issues.

Went to Willunga sat to have a gander at webex.
Course looking really good.

Twilight

These boys rush through it, no honours for any shot....

First hole pull hook into trees and scrambled up to green for a wipe.
And that summed up the walk.
3 wipes.
12 points

Playing there in a fortnight.

Willunga looked good on the telly, and was quite surprised that the pro's weren't ripping it apart which in a way pleases me that these short courses can still be tough

Went for 9 last night with the lad at Thaxted, never seen the greens so fluffy and slow 50 off the stick but came home 2 over for the last 4 holes so good finish, pleasingly got the Driver working by putting my right leg back a touch, even though it was downhill and with the wind I hit my drive 280 on the 4th

Vines tonight followed by some beers

Willunga I'd say is definitely worth a hit in near future.
I was surprised that the players I saw didn't take on a couple of the driveable par 4s

Noone needs to know about the gale force tail wind

Greens coming back from coring at Thaxted....

Friday Twilight.

I’m back baby!

Well, sort of. Stealth came to the party tonight. Piped a few down the guts. 2 fiddy + , which for an old **** like me I was happy with.

Drained a few putts, back to back birdies. Chipping sound.

Back to Adelaide next weekend which includes a game at the old stomping ground with son and a few mates.

Looking forward to it.

Vines tonight, started bogey, par, par then it went horribly wrong, missed 4 putts under 2 foot 48 and 15 pts....never seen the club so busy, couldn't get a seat outside with the nice weather and took an hour to get meals which was fine as the beer was cold just got home!

Flaggy this morning

Beautiful sunrise over the hills. Get to flaggy and it starts raining and wind picks up rain lasted 10mins

Changed the weights in driver to high launch in the carpark.
Added the baffler.
19points on front 9 (started 10) wiped 17. In bunker for 2 and took 2 to get out...

Then went alright 1st 6 holes.

Water on 7. Took a drop near bunkers and just didn't even hit the ball ffs and my little chipping game had been solid.
Wiped 7 and 8. Found bunker on 8 in 3 and took 2 and didn't get out so picked up.

Had a few putts that just turned straight left off the face that even the other guys couldn't believe.

35 points overall but didn't feel like it was that good of a day.
Baffler will be dropped for tomorrow
Sriver settings reverted back to how they were. Although did hit 3 beautiful long drives

Tanunda pines

Some pre round research took place as it's a course I've never played.

Greens just recovering from coring and nice and fluffy.

Short course with a few doglegs.

Was an enjoyable walk.

Missed a few absolute sitters with the putter, which is nothing unusual

Driver, adjusted back to how it was pre yesterday behaved itself for all bar 2 holes really
Short game was ok.

87 off the stick for 37pts and 2nd place in the comp

Also one if the lads had a hole in one on a 145mish par 3. There was a side game of matchplay and I guess that's one way to win a hole

NIce one MT, only played Tanunda once but keen to get back there

Playing Wednesday twilight and then have Mens Mental Health Ambrose Day at Wirrina on Friday, looking forward to that one

Please take notes before the bevvies take hold

Putter deserted me again tonight, but new Driver is starting to pay for itself, 45 for 18 points

Maybe come down with 'food poisoning ' from a dodgy pasty from pro shop

My plans for twilight golf last night crushed by of all things.... work.

Was looking to play 5 rounds in 11 days.... oh well may get out and hit a bucket of balls this arvo, before retiring to my local to begin working on the race form.

Driving range tonight.

Dear reader, I’m trembling as I write this, tempting the golfing gods is not a good thing to do.

It’s with a large sense of trepidation, but, I think…………

The Stealth is dialled in. I repeat the Stealth is dialled in. Well, in Victorian conditions at least.

Without doubt I hit the ******* thing sideways on Sunday!

Great day down at Wirrina today, wind was up though which made it tough conditions, we ended up 3 under with the winners getting 6 under.

Driver continued its good form and I even got the putter going.

Course is in good nick, a bit of couch growing across 3-4 greens but other than that can't fault the course, was in better condition that this time last year.
