Topic: Golf Talk / How did you all play this weekend?

Played the club foursomes and won, so had a good day out, have always enjoyed playing in the foursomes.

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Top three reasons for supporting your home course??

Bribie Island Golf Club

1. Sandbelt course in Qld, good condition all year round

2. Cheap at only $650 a year

3. Tough in the wind with narrow fairways that are lined with trees in the sand

Topic: Golf Talk / A Rank Decision

I prefer to play members tracks over the resorts, hugely wide fairways and even bigger greens… They are not a ball striking contest as you can hit it anywhere and have a shot at a flag, even if it is cut tight behing a trap.. A decent members track will always test the better players more.. And they can’t be tricked up like the resorts either, that is a pet hate of mine..

Try Laidley, nice little country track and well worth the time

Topic: Golf Talk / Hackers at the range

Yeah but then there’s the lean guy who’s about 1.7m tall and 65kg and he’ll be hitting 200m 3irons off the mat…..effortlessly. And then he pulls out his driver and hits the fence 300m away. Makes you want to find a hole and crawl in it.

In the bag:
Driver: Mizuno MX-500 9.5
Fairway Wood: Titleist 904F 15
Hybrid: Nickent 4DX IW 17
Irons: Hiro Honma CL-708 Professional 3-10

Topic: Golf Talk / How did you all play this weekend?

Played 2 stabelford rounds on the weekend, scored 33 and 30 points with about 15 fluffed chips shots in total, ball striking is great but when I miss a green almost a certain double as it takes me two chips to get onto the green and then I am no where near the hole.. very frustrating

Topic: Golf Talk / What are your predictions for 2008

No he’s never tried the long putter..

Was always a dodgy putter even as a junior

Still on his day can hole then with the best of them and it is on the improve.

Topic: Ask Golf Guru - Golf Instruction / Help with chipping

I need some help pretty drastically with my chipping

I gave the game away for a couple of years as I had lost my love of playing golf.
Took the game back up last year and I struggle with chipping. I seem to be chilly dipping the ball and hitting it only a few feet. I have no idea what I am doing, I can’t even see myself hitting the ball yet when I hit a driver I can almost see the ball being hit. I need help quickly with my chipping as it is driving me insane

I am setting up wtih my hands ahead of the ball and nothing is working

Topic: Golf Talk / Hot weather

Hottest I remember was a 36 hole tournament at Keperra in Brisbane mid 90’s.. Was 36 degrees plus, a real shocker of a day to play

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Best courses considering the drought and recent rain?

Try Bribie Island …. Only sand based course close to Brisbane

Topic: The Lounge / What did you get?

Set of Titleist blades
Cobra Speed Pro D driver
Dozen Titleist pro V1’s

Topic: Your Favourite Golf Courses / Bris-Vegas

Recliffe good track, Keppera is a good track as well … but for my money Bribie Island is the best value for money in SECnr…Best conditions all year round being a sand course, and doen’t need to worry about water as we have plenty on the island … And this year our subs are only $650 so even quite cheap for membership, is a good test for any level golfer specially when the wind gets up as it does most days

Topic: Golf Equipment / What handicap will you finish 2007 on

Fairways_Greens, I remember at my old course when I was playing pennants that our top five on combined handicap was +5… we had 2 x +2, 1x +1 and 2 scratch markers ( me and another ) and we didn’t play in that order either as some of us prefer match play to stroke play…. I love the head on approach of match play and play much better that way… and yes handicap means nothing when playing a tournament … we all start level and go from there

Topic: Golf Talk / Golf Clubs in Qld

I have to agree HISPL on that score.. I was a member at Keperra and it was clicky to put it in one word, most clubs are but I have found Bribie to be pleasant and the other members welcome new comers always .. Well and truely worth a visit if you can make, look me up and I will try to take you out for a hit
