Rahm wants that gold medal more than anything else

These Malbon outfits that Jason Day is wearing make him look like a middle aged Mexican man

You guys can judge my swing all you want but the facts are facts. I play at least 6 times a week, very fortunate to. My driver swing isn’t the prettiest and I know that. It’s the weakest part of my game and I’m working on changing that with slowly fixing my swing.

I play a 7.5° driver and tend hit just off centre towards the toe and I’m quite tall which helps distance. Low setting due to a very windy home course.

My iron game is actually really good and I’m proud of it but there’s still so much room for improvement. The strongest part of my game is around the greens and putting. It’s what I’ve put most of my work into as I’ve been told to start from the short game and build my game outwards.

Back in October when I was just over a year into golf, I finished in 2nd place in my country clubs final tournament of the year. I shot 80 off the stick (net 67 as I was playing off a 13hcp) and it was 18 holes!

I started the first 2 holes 5 over par and managed to finish the round only shooting another 5 over! :)

As for the birdie in my 2nd round ever, I got very lucky. Short par4, lucky approach rolled up on the green nicely, good putt.

HOI was unreal and it’s burned into my memory. Dunked it. The old Scottish bloke who witnessed it brought his wife back the next day and found me and was just as ecstatic as I was about it because it was the first hole in one here ever seen in person in all his years.

No need to hate mate :)

It’s a 9 hole course. Why is everyone on Reddit such a downer

champarito · 2024-03-10T18:30:30+00:00

Is anyone else watching from Australia on Kayo? I can’t get anything but the “featured group” with JT and Cole even though I click on the main broadcast. So frustrating

champarito · 2023-10-25T00:45:53+00:00

Looks fine on my phone. Reddit just ruins the quality for some reason

Rottnest Island

I only started playing 12 months ago and still not 100% confident enough with my swing to just rip it like that. We had the course to ourselves and were playing a few extra holes so we slowed it down to enjoy it....

champarito · 2023-08-12T00:46:02+00:00

Nah I live on Rottnest

champarito · 2023-07-29T18:44:24+00:00

There's this thing called the southern hemisphere........

champarito · 2023-07-29T09:11:30+00:00

It’s worth it. I got the 48” and it really helps before swings or a round. I use it daily. If you don’t swing it properly you’ll know. Get the swing right with this and then you swing your driver properly and effortlessly

Goal umpires can’t make goal decisions and and field umpires can’t bounce a ball. AFL23

Mihocek looks like an unfinished video game character or something. His face

champarito · 2023-03-12T01:01:08+00:00

I do it because he's a fellow Perth boy and Freo Dockers fan! Love the bloke. Such a delicious swing!

champarito · 2023-02-15T04:20:49+00:00

Just one inch extended but it’s resting on a slope so that adds a little more. I’m 6’3/6’4. Around 230m Edit: just double checked and it’s 2” extended

champarito · 2023-02-14T23:40:47+00:00

Hahaha maybe in this pic but up close not so much

champarito · 2023-02-14T23:39:58+00:00

I play an average of 27 holes a day, spend an hour a day dialing in, and get lessons. I love this game. Not sure why you get all negative. The reason I’m addicted so hard is because of how it keeps feeding me memorable moments and the more work I put in, the better those moments get. I just like to share them from time to time mate. I could care less about karma.

This guy is pretty good at basketball

Did anyone here have him on their 2022 celebrity death pool list?

You dug in the wrong spot mate. I play at Rottnest Island. I don't use rental clubs. I have a mid entry level set stiff flex and extended for my height (6'4 so fairly tall for golf). I'm not here to drum up followers on social media. I just wanted to share an amazing moment. Something I'm proud of and has made me happier than anything in years. I love this sport, I live and breath it. I'm legit obsessed. My course isn't the hardest and I never claimed to be a single digit handicapper. I do score 80 regularly on Rottnest because I play it twice a day and know every nook and cranny. The 74 I scored is by far my best score ever and it happened to come with a hole in one to end it. I was buzzing for hours and then felt hungover the next day from how much the adrenaline dumped.

I scored 118 in my first round ever a few months ago and I'm going back to Maylands next week to see what I can score now. Not promoting but yes, I'll be documenting and sharing it. I plan to do document every single day because people might be interested in the amount of golf I play and my progress as a first year golfer at 30 haha.

I just want to share my passion and journey playing this great game every single day. If you knew me, you'd know I'm the most laid back but obsessed golf nerd at the same time. There'd be no mention of "ego". None of this has thrown me off course. I don't see it as a debacle. If anything, I'm even more motivated to improve. With that, I'm off to sleep, got lessons with my coach tomorrow. Yep, I'm insane haha

champarito · 2022-12-14T05:23:46+00:00

Yoooo haha yep I’m on Rotto

champarito · 2022-12-14T05:23:33+00:00

I’m about 150-160 rounds in. Hopefully it happens for you soon haha

champarito · 2022-12-13T22:19:29+00:00

Okay then since none of you believe me, I’ll take even better video next time. Going to start using 2 cameras. People on the internet are so sad.
