oh they can host it at lancefield then

The thing is, every single person who has played golf has missed those, especially if there were any stakes. Itā€™s so easy to do, and so infuriating.

(I personally missed exactly that putt (ie 3.5 foot left to right) to finish one of my best rounds ever, and it still burns many years later. At least mine was closer. As it did a complete lap before staying out. That said the stakes were a little less ā€¦)

Bryson missed one the same length just before Rory did. Rory just did it twice.

if you watch his final round highlights, he spent more time playing from the rough than anyone winning it shouldā€™ve

Cam Davis for the win! :trophy:

Min Woo a tie for second. Couldā€™ve been a playoff between the Aussies. (Min Woo bogied 18).

Bhatia bogies the last to cough it up.

If anyone is interested in golf clubs hit me up. Used I think 15 times which was to justify not renting them. Make me an offer!




So youā€™ve upgraded to a nice set of Japanese forged blades?

You couldnā€™t possibly be giving the game away?

I am. I get way too sore after a game. My hands in particualrly cant take it.

Got my first ever handicap yesterday.

Playing regularly and at the same course will certainly help you get that handicap down.

Have fun doing so :slight_smile:

Very nice. One of the places I played with my grandfather when I was about 12!

Just home from a trip to the states. Managed to squeeze in one round at Indian Canyon South Course in Palm Springs. Had a great day even though it was touching 45 degrees by the time I finished at 11am!

I bet your score as 12yo was better than mine currently. :joy:

Itā€™s pretty short. And the council have currently screwed up the management of the course. They have a temporary one in place until at least next year. So the current one has committed to the bare minimum. Itā€™s a bit annoying.

But itā€™s 5 minutes from homeā€¦and cheap!

I canā€™t remember much as a 12yo (my guess would be 55 for 9 or so), except holing a 7iron at East Geelong one time. Back when I thought it was a matter of time before I was good at the sport. Iā€™m still waiting.
