Friday 28/1/11 Had a day off the course and enjoyed catching up with some book work and did nothing more than a little pitching practise with the net. Did consider heading to the practise fairway and hitting a few long irons, chose to hold that over until tomorrow and instead headed to the pro shop and tried out some new drivers.
Still happy with the Cobra S9.1 (stiff Flex) it works well enough, this was a moment taken to try out some regular flex drivers after my experience with the using the #3 Metal while recovering from the back injury. Got a good swing rythym happening and hit 25 balls, alternating with 5 balls with the Cobra (9.5) then 5 with a Rippa 10.5 Square Head driver. The two felt totally different hitting the ball and the regular flex club did feel “softer” in my hands. The Rippa drives mostly faded in the begining. Then I settled down and hit 5 of the best I could with each.
One ball from each club was the best possible booming straight drive I could work for in a game. The Rippa still felt gentler and even more responsive to working shots with it. The Cobra was it’s usual effective steady self as I have became used to over 12 months.The solid hits with it were brutal in comparison to the Rippa.
Tomorrow I am going to go and have another solid try out with the Rippa and see if I can get the fade out of the shots. Distance wise it was the same with either club, as the back injuries are always going to occur from time to time I am convinced that getting a regular flex driver in my collection of clubs is a must.
Not in any rush to choose and get the club yet but it is going to be the next purchase to give me the selection of clubs that will best suit my game requirements.
Thankyou for your time and attention, Geoff

Queensland Floods scam email...
I delete the Nigerian scam emails but this one is the UGLY Australian email and don't get conned by the rhetoric. Here comes the nonsence from the right wing isolationist sector of Australia. Yes the morons who want the borders fenced, the internet censored and return to the days of black and white tv. The same people who parade around on Australia day wearing flags as caped and with beer pouring out their ears in celebration of the national public holiday. Then the rest of the year forget all about being Australian until the next day to have a party on.
"If the Government took 10% from each of these there would be enough for the flood victims. How does this work ? THE TOP EIGHT COUNTRIES THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT GAVE YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO IN 2010-2011
Indonesia $458,700.00 million
Papua New Guinea $457,200,00 million
Solomon Islands $225,700.00 million
Afghanistan $123,100.00 million
Vietnam $119,800.00 million
Philippines $118,100.00 million
East Timor $102,700.00 million
Cambodia $64,200.00 million
TOTAL = $ 1,669,000,000.00 - given away in 52 weeks
..but wait there’s more.
Australia provides approximately 150,000 tonnes of food aid every year—about $65 million—to Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Chad
In 2005 John Howard committed Australia to double Australian aid to about $4 billion a year by 2010 because under his Prime Ministership we were in SURPLUS.
In 2010-2011 the Australian Government plans to spend almost $4.4 billion on development assistance.
In 2008 the Australian community contributed $812.19million to non-government organisations.
And now Gillard will give $500,000,000.00 for Indonesia’s Islamic schools
which are largely moderate in outlook but there have been pockets of radicalism that have produced terrorists in Indonesia, most notably the cleric Abu Bakar Bashir’s school in Ngruki, central Java, where some of the Bali bombers studied.
When insurers, such as Allianz and CGU, provide cover for storm damage but exclude flood from their home and contents policies.
And now Gillard is planning to impose a levy on all Australians to help pay for flood relief!!
YES THIS A BLOODY INSULT TO THE AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE WHO RIGHT NOW NEED IT THE MOST SO IT IS ABOUT TIME THE GOVERNMENT STARTED LOOKING AFTER THEIR OWN BACK YARD AND FORGET THE REST FOR A LONG TIME.
THIS IS BULL SHIT"
Yes it is Bullshit, of the worst kind. This worked very well for Hitler and the Nazi's so don't get duped by it today.
