Blades Only Day Sun 3 July, Cabramatta

[vader77]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in "Blades Only" golf day.Was thinking of organising an OzGolf day somewhere in Sydney or outskirts for all of us to have a round with that set of blades we own that we never have the guts to play comp with.

Just expresses of interest is all I'm after at this time, and apologises to anyone who feels left out because they don't own a set of blades.

Let me know what you all think and if there's enough people for at least 2 groups, I'll get the ball rolling for the day

Ok guys, so the first annual OzGolf Blades Day will be held at Royal Cabra as it seems to be the best for all round location for everyone in Sydney - sorry Hatchman. And I think mrbluu' s suggestion of mid morning Sunday July 3rd is fine.

So far, the 'relatively' confirmed invitees (for matty) are:

vader77
Jazz18
wazandnic - borrowed set pending
Peppas - borrowed set pending
KristianJ
Anfield
mrbluu
Dotty
noren
Captain Nemo
Matt 3 Jab

Do Cavity Blades and a Bullseye putter qualify me???

Bullseye putters are fine!!! Don't you own a set of pure blades???

[wazandnic]

Nope... just 3 sets of CB's!


Would be up to try a set though!

[Hatchman]

Bugger , bit far for me to go or I'd be in for this and could loan out up to 3 sets for those that are bladeless.

Love the concept Dark Lord.

If u are happy with 5-P count me in

5-PW is fine to me. I might stipulate, set must have at least 6 blade irons. No combo sets. We want to make it a purely blade competition.

With acceptance from other competitors, i have a set of MP-32s you can borrow for the day Waz.... I regard them close enough to blades.

[vader77]

And by the way guys, this is just a hit and giggle day.... Just another excuse to get as many guys together for something different.

[Peppas]

Can you lend me some blades?

[kiwitown]

I'd be keen if I had some blades, jazz would be keen on this I reckon..

[Jazz18]

I am definitely in for this. This is the perfect day to give my Macgregor PMB's a run. 3-PW butter knives, awesome!

Calling Matty 3 jab! We can have a Macgregor off! No guessing who'll win that!

Also calling Stealth and Anfield, I know you guys own blades too. Dust 'em off and get in to this!!!

I'll see what I can do for you....

[Johnny Canuck]

Surely you boys will break out the persimmons if you are having a blade day.

[PerryGroves]

Correct JC, assuming I'm around I will have the Cobra persimmon driver, 3 wood and Cobra Tour Model II blades.

[matty]

Looks like an annual 'Invitation Only' event in the making. The Ozgolf version of the Masters.

[Dotty]

5-PW is fine to me. I might stipulate, set must have at least 6 blade irons. No combo sets. We want to make it a purely blade competition.

How does that differ from my usual Saturday round? Driver, fairway, two hybrids, three wedges, a putter and six matching clubs that I'm never close enough to the green to use.

Although I could drag an old set of Ping Zings out of the cupboard.

[Jazz18]

Wish I had some to put in play and I would for sure. I might try and find some or even just some old metal woods at the very least. Those first metal woods to replace persimmon were tiny!

[Captain Nemo]

Very keen, I've actually traded the only set I have to another avid blade collector but might persuade him to keep them in possession a little longer...do these qualify!!!

Oh yikes, they qualify for sure!

Thanks mate! May even take it as an opportunity to acquire some. I'm a bit of a traditionalist (re: Bullseye!) even though I've never used a set, but like the idea of them!



And I think 5-PW is ok provided NO Hybrids are allowed. Should be Driver, fairway and then irons.

Also be interesting to take lob and gap wedges out of the equation, but that may be taking it too far?

Try to find an older course for this - something like Moss Vale would be magnificent for a 'retro/persimmon/blades' day.

Even a short 9 holer around Sydney would be fun.

yes Moss Vale, would be sweet for this as would Mt Broughton I reckon just because of the feel around that place and in the club house... just maybe need to play off the social tees perhaps!

Alt. something like the Coast or even Randwick could work??

[WBennett]

Mt Broughton should be blown up
