[My Chumps]

Funny that you bump this thread back into action Zedder; I don't play at all for most of the year while I'm studying down in Melbourne, but I'm back home for the summer and shot a personal best 36 (even) off the stick the other day. Hit 7 greens in regulation and only had one birdie  :o

For most of that time my handicap has ranged between 9-14. I'm currently on 14 but expect to be back down to a 10 or 11 by the end of summer. Shot 77 (+6) for 44stableford pts ... Good enough to win the div 1 comp and take home the Xmas ham.

Haha nice! Summer's always the time for carving a few shots off the handicap provided the course doesn't get too dry.

that's nice work Chumpa! I'll just keep working on trying to hit 1 GIR

Solid golf mate. Well done! Where did you play?
I played in Tuesday morning haggle (comp) with a bunch of fellow members at Waiuku again this morning. Shot 78 off the stick mostly thanks to 4 monster putts. 43 stableford and came 1st again but only about 12 in the field today compared to 50 odd on the weekend. Handicap is going to well and truly going to get chopped.

Disappointing to see Day falter towards the end of his round this morning after starting so well :-\

How about old Ernie Els though :o http://www.foxsports.com.au/golf/ernie-els-has-an-absolute-shocker-on-first-hole-of-the-masters/news-story/623ddf87cac31157877e6238792280d8

Would be hard to keep going after that on your first hole.

[Ringo]

Yep - Really disppointing last 4 holes from Jason.  Hope he can put it out of his mind and come out firing tomorrow.

And feel for Eels on that first green - makes us hacks feel good.

That Els 7 putt was unbelievable. Would have been easier to hole some of those putts than miss. 4 putts happen occasionally from long range but 7 lmao.

Playing a handicap pennants practise round at Royal Auckland in a couple of hours in preparation for a matchplay pennants competition there on Sunday. Have won two, lost two this year. Fared a lot better last year when I was the team's best player and won 6, halved one and lost one. The loss was to a 12 year old though. :-[
Royal Auckland is a beautiful course, it's just a shame that the members are all tossers and they make you wear tailored shorts, tucked in shirts, etc. Will enjoy the course but not the tucked in shirt bit or seeing a bunch of fat guys with their guts busting to freed from their belts and shirts. :)

Shot 102 at my home club yesterday... No pars at all. 20 stableford.
My worst round since I don't know when.

[enzedder]

Shot 76 off the stick, 5 over par including a triple bogey on 17 and 4 birdies. :)
Won a bar fridge with best net of the day... 63.

Cheers Ringo. Played yesterday. Had the odd shower and was windy. Today is much better, sunny with little wind.
Hope you are enjoying your stay in NZ....it's not a bad place to be. Hopefully it's fine there as Taupo is much nicer on a good day as can see the mountains to the south of the lake.
Rotorua tomorrow?

Nice round mate! Would love to be able to shoot that low, but don't get out enough to improve my game :-\

Went out 2 weeks ago and shot a 93 with 1 birdie. That's about average for me. Disappointing thing is I felt I played pretty well, but I don't capitalise enough on holes that I play well.

Thanks mate. Anything less than 100 is certainly respectable, especially if you can't or don't play on a regular basis.

In good form at the moment. Just back from twilight comp. 36 off the stick tonight for 9 holes (1 over). Played off 2 handicap tonight (for 9 holes) and will be cut another shot next week. Considering my present handicap is 13 ( handicap for 18) I've got my work cut out for me in twilight comps in coming weeks.

[Bill Manspeaker]

I keep thinking the commentators are saying John Cena... John Senden

[enzedder]

Shot even par last night for 9 holes in twilight comp. Good enough for 5th  >:(
