Golf - Robe Open omorrow

Played 9 holes at Meningie on Thursday afternoon, enjoyable and great to return to the course and the new greens which have replaced those that were damaged by the salty water last year. Totalled an enjoyable 48. Robe 9 hole chicken run on Friday afternoon with a wipe after hitting the wrong ball on the first and still getting 16 points. Then a quick 9 this morning and a 41 off the stick with 15 putts. Hit 2 of the biggest shots off the tee for my standard both 270m straight and on the fairways.




Very happy with my game in total so if the mind stays focussed tomorrows Open should be a good 18 holes. The work put into practise the last 2 months is slowly improving my game. Of course the spring/summer weather with hardened fairways and hot dry air are certainly assisting the distance and accuracy of shots for me. The same applies to every other golfer as well so it is just a matter of enjoying the game and having fun. Anything else will be an unexpected bonus. Thankyou for your time and attention. Hit ‘em straight all.

2011 A Golf Odyssey

My passion for golf is more than just the experience of playing the game, like some other golfers it is the esoteric benefits that have me out hitting the little white ball for hours on end. It is the joy of practise that actually keeps me passionate about the game. I can understand how the golfers who go on to professional careers never lose the desire to play. Not to go by the single digit handicap golfers who play for the pure enjoyment of the game as well.




I get a vital benefit from golfing that stimulates my mind and physical activity for work. It is something that is a fortunate blessing and has a lot to do with why I returned to the game seriously after so many years. The creative process for me does not rely upon sitting around reading and thinking it has to involve social and actual interaction with people and activities.



Which is why my liver has stretch marks from the many social activities that involve the casual consumption of alcohol. I have even got the experience of having spent a year getting home when the sun was rising from another session of world series nightclubbing. Partying is flaming hard work and playing golf is a lot more rewarding and generally involves a lot less drinking, most of the time.



The Southern Ports Tournament has a good social atmosphere and with three tournament rounds in the week the socialising is a major plus. Compered to the post match gathering after a weekly club round there are added facets to the tournament post round presentations. One of the newer benefits is being able to check online the post round scores as well and be able to calculate what is needed and a strategy to achieve the target for the next round.



Besides the live round coverage in the documentary the post round clubhouse interviews with the rest of the field is going to be a specific feature. It is not a film about one golfer having a crack, it is about a complete field of golfers and their experience of the 2011 Southern Ports Tournament.

Australian Golf Documentary 2011

There are two types of people in the world "gunna's" and "doers" golfers on the most part are doers. There is what seems to be a never ending stream of messages thrown out in the media telling us to do more exercise, get fit, and act, live, healthier and everything will be just roses and butteflies.

Not for me thankyou. I like to live as I please and drink a few beers (to excess at times too) and will get up and take a tub of icecream and a slab of beer back to bed if told to go for an invigorating beneficial walk let alone go jogging! Having seen the looks on joggers faces is enough to make me want to slam my fingers in a car door to avoid going through that torture.

Yet here I am a golfer who will walk around a golf course several times a week, exercising as well as giving myself the many brain explosions that come from playing shots that would do the iceberg that sank the Titanic proud. Yes I am a doer and I enjoy living a life that has no lycra bike shorts, or runners that cost $300. If a jogger was attacked by Rabid Kangaroo thay can only hope to be able to run away faster. As a sedate slob of a golfer I have 13 clubs to defend myself with, make that 12 I am a crap shot with the 9 iron and would probably miss with a defesive swing too.

Being a doer is a good thing and with golf it is also fun as well. So join in as a doer and view and vote for my 2011 Australian Golf Documentary here;

2011 Documentary Movie Extra 'Another crack at the Title"

Golf coverage is of the professional tours. "ANOTHER CRACK AT THE TITLE" is a documentary of the average golfer, ME :) returning to try and win a 3 round tournament. Dening missed the final putt for a win in 2010, in 2011 I have improved enough already and will be playing a grade higher. The 7 episodes of this documentary will be an adventure into Geoff Dening's mind and ability. An entertaining experience of ordinary golfers doing what they love. View the trailer and vote as you see fit.

After 20 years rehabilitation from accident injuries, an average golfer steps forward to chase his dream of winning the three round Southern Ports Tournament week. Entering in his first year return to golf in 2009, Dening claimed second place in “C” grade, missing the winning putt on the last hole. For the next attempt, 12 months of training, practise and commitment will be completed, already his handicap has improved to enter the “B” grade in 2010.



In his second year of golf Dening will be entering a grade higher, competing and socialising with more experienced and better golfers. All driven with their love and enjoyment of a game that is not only a domain of success for athletes, a sport where skill can match strength.


Dening sees golf as a mirror of life, requiring education, patience, discipline, focus and imagination. Success in golf is invigorating and can deliver the realisation of dreams from youth, no matter what your age or physical condition. The game is fun yet gives the player benefits in overcoming physical and mental obstacles. Will Dening’s passion for the sport, training schedule and commitment, deliver a winning effort?

Please pass it on to your friends, your support is vital. Thankyou for your time and attention. Geoff
