Blue Marker Challenge - Pacific G.C. - Friday 26th Nov.

[davidp]

I'm thinking of subjecting myself to some torture at Pacific G.C. on 26th Nov. Pins are in the most evil of positions, four putts on the 4th green are not uncommon. :shock:

Green fees + comp fees are about $23.00

If you break your handicap (nett 71 or less) then you win a dozen golf balls (no idea what brand).

Is anyone up for it?

[AndyP]

Sorry David, can't really use a leave day for this.
Using one on Monday, and will be using a couple for the upcoming cricket at the Gabba.

Hopefully a couple of the shift workers will be able to play.

[Jarro]

i'm pretty keen for another blast around Pacific, i'll check the roster out to confirm my availability though :roll:

[Eag's]

Put me down David, I am off that day :wink:

[cazandpaul]

Count me in

Paul :D

[davidp]

So far:

Eags
cazandpaul (only the paul half)
davidp
jarro (to confirm)

[Jarro]

surely there must be some more wannabees out there :?

Might have to put the hard sell on at Northlakes davidp :wink:

[davidp]

I'll put up a good bottle of red as the prize for the lowest nett of the day...

Any more takers?

[markTHEblake]

Not for me, a day like that and i will probably shoot 100. Thats one of golfer69's records that i dont want to beat.

Yes, that's easily done. I won't tell you what my worst score has been on a blue marker day. I was recovering from an elbow injury and couldn't straighten my right elbow. :oops: Well, that's my excuse anyway.

[davidp]

Can people tell me what time they would like to play? The timesheet fills up pretty quickly. I wouldn't mind around 8:00 am.

Suggestions?

[Eag's]

8:00AM suits me fine davidp :wink:

[cazandpaul]

8 is good - lets me beat the traffic on the way up from the Coast.

[Jarro]

sorry david, i have to pull out of this one :(

work roster has changed .... i'm working that day :evil:

Have a good one guys, Pacific is a great course 8)

[davidp]

Okay, so far we have:

1. Eags
2. cazandpaul (only the paul half)
3. davidp
4. Craig (mate of dave's)
5. Grant (mate of dave's)
6. Wayne Kearnes (mate of dave's)

Target tee-off is 8:00 am. The timesheet will be released tomorrow morning and spots usually go pretty fast.

Well Kev, you had your chance to come along and beat that "hack in the trees".

As Eag's said... It's gonna be a long year.... :lol:

[AndyP]

As Eag's said... It's gonna be a long year.... :lol:
Don't be like that. It will wear off.....hopefully.

It's not like there are any reminders around of my victory in the McLeod Cup. :mrgreen:

[Onewood]

Count me in on this one 8) 4 day week this week so why not next week too :D

[damoocow]

David - can you count me in as a 'possible ' reserve for this - had planned to have a ''sick'' day from my real job on that FRiday because of a short film I was shooting but there may be a delay in the schedule so could be an off chance of playing.
damoocow

[davidp]

Damoocow, I'll count you as a "possible" reserve.

Paul, Iain, can you tell me if you would prefer to walk it or would you prefer carts. This will influence groupings on the day.

I know onewood would prefer a cart, I'm probably going to walk it (may regret that coming up the 18th), have yet to find out what our guests prefer.

[Eag's]

If Kev wants a cart I will split it with him :wink:
Kev?

[davidp]

Damn, sorry Eags, did not mean to leave you out of my post above. Looks like we'll have 6 walkers and two carters, Eags & onewood.

Group drawings coming next week.

[Onewood]

If Kev wants a cart I will split it with him :wink:
Kev?

OK you've twisted my arm :wink: :D

[davidp]

Pacific has a corporate day as well so need ALL their carts at 12:00 pm. I've organised for a cart for 9 holes for Eags & Onewood, but you'll have to walk the other 9. :x

I'd offer to carry you guys, but my back's been playing up.. :P

[Iain]

I'd offer to carry you guys, but my back's been playing up.. :P

Ummmm :? , Do you remember Onewood from NL's?? :shock: :shock:

[davidp]

Small thin guy?? Doesn't believe in drinking??

Yeah, of course I remember him... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Onewood]

I'll be fine walking thanks Dave, to much stuffing around to go get the pull buggy out of the car for the second 9 :D That could drop the momentum I've got going by then :D

[davidp]

I've done a completely random draw:

The groups are:

Group 1:

Eag's
Iain
Grant
Wayne

Group 2:

onewood
Paul
davidp
Craig

Group 1 hits off at 7:42. Group 2 hits off at 7:48. The greens will be double cut and rolled by the way and will as slick as they get at this time of year. Everyone will be walking as Pacific's carts aren't available after 12:00 pm.

I'll be there at about 7:00 trying in vain to get some rhythm into my "marionette chopping wood" swing. If you want some entertainment, be there about then... :lol:

[davidp]

Group 1:

Eag's
Iain
Grant - Scratching
Wayne

Group 2:

onewood
Paul
davidp
Craig

damoocow, sent you a PM to see if you're up for it...

[davidp]

Group 1:

Eag's
Iain
Grant - Scratching
Wayne

Group 2:

onewood
Paul
davidp
Craig

damoocow, sent you a PM to see if you're up for it...

damoocow has passed. Waiting on a reply from another player.

[davidp]

We have a mystery player as a replacement for our late scratching. Fellow club ho'

Group 1:

Eag's
Iain
??
Wayne

Group 2:

onewood
Paul
davidp
Craig

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morn. Should be an absolute corker of a day. :D 26 Degrees with a slight breeze.

[Onewood]

What time you guys getting there :?:

I'm thinking around 7am :shock: shite thats early for me :D

[davidp]

Yep, 7 a.m. (or a bit before) is when Craig and I will be there. :D

[davidp]

I think everyone who played today would describe the day as "interesting". Pacific was a walk in the park as everyone's scores will attest. :wink:

It was great to get together again with some fellow Ozgolfers, have a few laughs and cry together at the injustice of the game. After all, that's what it's all about. :D

Congrats to Eag's on getting 1st place and taking home the wine.

Final standings were:

1. Eag's
2. Craig D (guest)
3. onewood
4. Iain
5. ozmacleod
6. cazandpaul
7. davidp
8. Wayne K (guest)

Thanks to all who were there, and maybe could still be there. There's nothing like a cold beer to make it all better again. :P

[Onewood]

Great day had by all :P

DavidP, I think the scores can be put up :D show everyone how hard a blue marker day at pacific can be :lol: :lol:

Been a long time since i've seen pins hiden behind bunkers on every hole :twisted:

By the way did any of you guys find my "Driver swing" out there :D hope I find it before tomorrow, taking on the long drive champ :D

A couple of pics to follow

I was trying to avoid putting the scores up. But since you've made a special request, people feast your eyes on this feast:

Nett score
1. Eag's 76
2. Craig D (guest) 78
3. onewood 81
4. Iain 82
5. ozmacleod 84
6. cazandpaul 85
7. davidp 87
8. Wayne K (guest) 90

I think all would agree that Pacific played very very tough today.

[Onewood]

AND YES there the NETT scores :lol: :lol:

[andylo]

AND YES there the NETT scores :lol: :lol:

Phew... no wonder... I was thinking why everyone suddenly shooting like god?! :lol:

[Eag's]
