Well, hi folks I hope you are all fit & well. It's been some time since I last appeared and have been rather busy while away.
I have continued to play in the club competitions both mid-week & at weekends.
I managed to earn myself a place in the Mackay Final by qualifying at the 1st attempt.  Then I entered the 2nd qualifier as there was a serious ammount of cash in the Sweep.  I was in the qualifying group again but unfortunately not the winner.  My place was given to the guy who finished behind me as I was already through.
I did win a mid-week medal comp on the 14th after count back. 
Then the Infamous Golf Gods made their move, I put 2 balls into the jungle off the 14th tee forcing me to non-return.  I was really not impressed with their antics. 
I am currently trying out a set of Graphite Irons, they feel well enough & giving me great ball flight.  However I have not grown enough courage to play with them in competition, yet!
My handicap has gone out to 18.9 much to the discust of my companions.  They are boardering on calling me a bandit (sand-bagger) and refuse to give me the correct allocation of strokes when we play. Even though I only play in Comps & return every card to be scrutinised by the Handicap Committee.  I am finding difficult to be consistant with my short irons which is costing me shots and committing the ultimate sin of 3-putting more time than I should.
Any way, I am on holiday for 2 weeks now and will be on the course every day (if I can escape the wifes orders) so long as the weather holds out. 

Here's to the next time.

Update:-  I played in the Mid-week comp last evening and finished 9th in a field of 31.  Not bad when you consider I was not happy with my game, again I had a poor short game.  Stableford format points ---34.
