Unaware of the raging bushfires around the state, we battled the elements around Macquarie Uni – news reports spoke about wind gusts up to 100 km/h – the tree tops were swaying in different directions, the jet from the fountain watered half the course and the pond swallowed a dozen discs or so. As you can see I had to take a picture of just how windy it was, at least it wasnt raining!  One of my overly optimistic drives were pushed down and made into a roller that made three 90 degrees turns; left, right, right pacman style. On the same hole, debutesse Rosie Suthers’s approach was a bit high and loose, landed and began to roll, turned around and rolled 15 metres backwards up the hill!

Somehow the scores weren’t that tremendously bad considering. Jason even set a new PB! During lunch we explained to him that it’s supposed to be harder in extreme conditions, and accordingly he played a lot worse the second round… A few more milestones were achieved at this one, the first birdie frame went down despite the winds best efforts (Luke, Rodney, Cam and Me). Scores overall reflected two things: 1.) it was windy, and 2.) I need to get my game together!
  
All in all, it was fun, and a good preamble to our big event in a couple of weeks. If you havent heard, Madd Macq’s 015 will be held on October 7th as an addition to the big Sydney Olympic Park Event to be held at Newington Armory on October 8th. This will be the first time we are allowed to put up baskets to play this course! We are all very excited about this and we even had a meeting about it! I felt like we should have had a projector and a powerpoint presentation!! Anyway, everything is organised and if mother nature cooperates it should be an absolutely  amazing event! If you havent registered there are only 13 spots left so make sure you get your name in otherwise you might miss out on some of the action!  
 
Hope to see you all in a couple of weeks!

Thanks
Albert
