Who are the Yellow Fever's Club Golfer's?

I have just taken the big step and joined Hastings Golf Club 15 years after I played any serious golf. Are there any other Feverite's who are members at clubs around the country?

Do you realise there are rules and etiquette  in golf !!!

No chants....blasphemy......or alcohol...........get back to the terraces where you belong young man !!!!!

Used to have a membership, but sometimes it just takes too long to play, especially if the drive is over half an hour like my old club was. Still enjoy getting out for the odd round though.

Golf: a tradition like no other...

PS: 'Bridge Pa' - a lovely track that.

Golfer's?

Submitted my first card for handicapping today.

Very sloppy 90 (18 over par)

Looks like the long road towards my previous handicap of 4, albeit 15yrs ag, will begin with a handicap somewhere in the mid teens!

We all have our own handicaps!

I used to play. Have seriously considered starting again this summer, but don't have any clubs. Also don't know if I have the time to justify paying a membership when I'm supposed to be saving (for brazil 2014).

Two Birdies, One Stone...

(See what I did there?)

:-)

First card in and I am currently on a provisional handicap of 15.7 after adjustments etc...

With 3 rounds to play before its official and factoring in some slight improvement on my first score of 90 it would appear that I will be settling in with a handicap of around 12 - 14.

Gives me some scope for goal setting!!!

C-diddy, you're a burglar just waiting to happen, dude.  A 4 handy playing off a 15!!!!  Don't give me that 15 years ago crap either....whatever your game was built on back then (i.e., whether its was power, accuracy, money-for-dough iron play...etc...me, it;s always been my lovely 'soft hands')...it never truly leaves you...just need few trips to the driving range...remember the basics...a lesson would be worth its weight in gold....

You little burglar you...

Stevo, just happy to be playing again.

Put the game on the backburner at 19 to chase ladies and a career. As I said earlier I am keen to set some goals to achieve this year, the first is likely to be reaching single figures!

We'll see what happens from there.  

(Oh and yes I agree there is a high likelihood that I will burgle somewhere along the way!!!)

2nd competetive round booked in for Saturday morning. Might have to sneek in a cheeky 9 at Royal and Ancient Awatoto Public Golf Course before the week is out!!! 

Have you ever played the Royal County Dannevirke Golf Club?

Am yet to grace the fairways there. It's on the list of places to play though...

;-)

Does hitting chunks out of the fairways count as 'golf'?

Pretty scratchy 80 today (+8) with 2 Double Bogeys on the front 9.

Encouraging improvement!

Hastings Golf Club, aka Bridge Pa, is closed this weekend for Hastings Open (which I am still ineligab;e for due to having no official handicap!) so I will be sleeping with the enemy and playing at Napier Golf Club, aka Waiohiki!

Looking forward to it! 

Golf is a strange game.

81 (+9 Over) this week at Napier Golf Club again with 2 dirty Double Bogeys!

Need to erradicate them from my game! 

Antihistamines or some vitamin C might do the trick.

Just found out that I won $11 in the "Pro's Two's" Comp on Saturday at Napier Golf Club courtesy of a birdie on the Par 3 7th.

#Winning

Wow, I can't believe you won the fifth major! Move over Players, the Pro's Two's is where it's at!

^ THIS ^

$11  !!!......There goes your US Varsity Golf Scholarship !!!

Picked up a few of weeks work living at a golf resort in South Canterbury.

Hopefully I'll manage to shoot one round in double digits in my spare time lol.

Sup gangsta!

A horrible day on the golf course yesterday. It seemed like every tree on the golf course was taking turns at jumping in front of my ball.

After a few encouraging rounds in the past month, yesterday I shot an underwhelming 90 (+18 Over).

More practice for me this week I think...

Devistated this morning!

Have succumbed to a shoulder injury meaning I was incapable of playing golf today. 

Not happy :-(

Well folks. After a few months of battle on the golf course I have finally handed in my 5th and final card to receive an official NZGA Approved Golf Handicap. I have been given a Handicap Index of 6.4!

This is equivalent to playing off an 8 Handicap at Bridge Pa which I am pretty happy with it must be said!!!

Now its time to set some realistic goals and maybe the odd extremely unlikely one just for good measure...

I know this thread is becoming a Self Indulgent Wankfest but I do not care in the slightest!!!

Shot a disappointing 83 (+11 Over) off the Black tees yesterday with 2 Triple Bogeys and a Double Bogey. Am still in the hunt to qualify for the knockout stage of the Mulholland Cup as I am currently in a tie for 16th at 76 Nett with a round to go (Top 16 places go through based on 36 hole combined Nett scores)

Slight correction to make here too. My Course Handicap is actually 7 and not 8 as previously suggested.

Bring on next Saturday!!!

Keep them coming dude...always a good laugh...

PS: What equipment are you using?  Asking, because it's a key question as to how serious you really are about your "comeback"...[saying this, as I look lovingly at my Taylormade Superfast 2.0 driver and Callayway Jaws wedge sitting there in the corner...both yet to see actual golfing combat]    :-(

Currently playing the following:

Mizuno Mp-001 10 Deg Stiff Driver

TaylorMade Steel 3 & 5 Fairways Stiff

Mizuno MX-25 Irons with NS Pro 950S Steel shafts

Callaway 52 and 56 Degree Wedges

Callaway White Hot Putter

That's some quality shit C-Did, every quality player has a soft spot for Muzino's forged stuff...me:

Very tidy indeed Banzai!

 Chipped in from about 150 for the first Eagle of my life at Blenheim Golf Club yesterday. Was pretty stoked!

Thinking about getting myself handicapped. Suspect I'll shoot off something like a 25.

LOLS!
