<p>and they always seem to prefer them the shinier they are!</p>

<p>I always laugh when you find a 'range' ball on a golf course that someone has obviously used for general play.</p>

<p>I don't think so but I found one on our course. Some older fella must have played about 400 rounds with it.</p> -

If you can't play the part you should at least look the part! <br><br>

<p>Bumping as almost a month since any update.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a couple of rounds this week and both pretty frustrating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Played Waitemata on Monday - 11 over front, 1 under back. Parred all the par 3s, birdied the two par 5s and a fair bit of poor golf elsewhere, especially on the front 9. Back 9 was better scoring but some ugly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday was Titirangi, lovely course and in great nick. So good when clubs have the $ to look after the fairways (actually green in summer and perfect for play the lie) and keep the bunkers full of sand. Used the round as warmup for our annual Masters Ambrose day there in a months time and it was my usual story of a tale of two 9s.</p>

<p>Totally lost it on the back 9. Would be good shot followed by 2 or 3 shit shots. Not often did I manage to put two decent shots in a row or on the same hole</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a 6 man ambrose comp in a few weeks where you have 3 pairs within the team and play pairs for first two shots and then traditional ambrose takes over with all 6 players trying to hole out the best of the 3 pairs balls. Should be fun.</p> -
JK. 11 over front nine and 1 under back nine. May I ask, had you been drinking the night before?<br><br>My worst recollection of such a thing was in a Texas Scramble (that's Ambrose to you colonials), where i'd been royally fucked over the night before by my host and on the first tee the next morning my liver went into spasm on the backswing. I scuffed the ball about 180 metres from the tee and my partner (and drinking buddy) had somehow managed to put a 9 iron just on the green, leaving a 7 metre downhill putt for a birdie, which of course I stuck right into the middle of the hole. Hey 4 points on the first hole. At the end of the 9 holes we came in with 5 points in total.<br><br>Worst thing was we were playing at Walton Heath - a Ryder Cup course. For some reason or another I have not been invited back.

<p>haha thats often an excuse for me on those sunday morning rounds but not this time. Just couldnt get off the tee nor buy a putt so struggled big time. 2nd nine I was striking the ball alot better. Kinda continued in to yesterday for the first 8 or so holes.</p>
-
<p>played the other week. course was a bit wet (monsoon season not the best for golf). i hit my irons pretty high, so if you hit a boggy bit, your ball would just disappear. gutting.</p>

<p>Have a couple of days in Coolum next month, might try out Palmers championship course there, looks decent</p> -
Played in the Pupuke golf clubs centenary Ambrose tournament today. It was 6 man team where you split in to two teams of 3 and each of the first team all tee off and then the best ball is used for the next 3 players to play from, and so on. Hadn't played like this before but it was surprisingly quick given there were almost 200 players on the course. Difficult to get in to a rhythm though.<br><br>
We ended up a net 59 so not good enough to win (bet 55) and had a couple of bogeys in there due to woeful approach shots followed by woeful chipping. Our 2nd shots let us down all day really but was a bloody good bit of fun. Course was in great nick and it was cool to be back at my old club. Even caught up with a few of the old boys I hadn't seen in over 15 years -
I love Ambrose but not a fan of that format
-
It was quite a high pressure format but needed to be that way given so many people wanted to be in on the tournament. <br><br>
I have Masters Monday tournament in 2 weeks at titirangi. Really looking forward to it and have what I think is a better team this year with handicaps of 7, 12, 19 and 27 with the 27handicapper being a big unit who often hits a very long ball.
