View Full Version : Pre-champs game @ Brookwater, Fri 7 Nov 12:00pm

26th June 2008, 08:31 AM
This seemed to go down pretty well last year, so I'm happy to host at Brookwater again for those interested. It's an easy drive from Brookwater to Kooralbyn (via Greenbank) after the game for those staying down there Friday night.

It's $75 guest rate in GPS carts, slight chance of cheaper if we get >16 players, but dont count on it.

Given a few people flying in Friday morning, lets aim for midday-ish.... (I can't book anything til 30 days out)

UPDATE - 12:00 shotgun start. 3 groups booked.

1. BrisVegas 30
2. Courty 23
3. Bruce 29
4. swanny 24
5. Rusty 33
6. haysey 28
7. Jacques (swanny's mate)

Would love to, but the very tenuous link of holiday/golf would be stretched just a little too far.

Did a lap in a cart once, when I was offered the Golf Ops position there and it looked like a fair bit of fun.

OK folks do Bruce and i need to hire a car for the friday or is their room for 2 and baggage up to Brookwater and return to the Raddison on friday night.

Where are you guys flying into? Brookwater is an hour from Brisbane airport and about 75mins from Coolangatta airport.

I'm not working on the Friday, so I could do an airport run to collect a few of you (for a coupla rums). Let me know.

Bruce
5th August 2008, 07:51 AM
Swanny and I are due into Coolangatta before 9AM.

Courty
5th August 2008, 08:21 AM
I fly in to Brisbane on Thursday night.

BrisVegas
5th August 2008, 09:24 AM
gold tees.

poidda
5th August 2008, 09:43 AM
Yeah I could possibly do a brisbane pickup and to brooky, and onto the coast, but like 69er, it's to early for me to confirm.

swanny
5th August 2008, 08:34 PM
Ill hold off on booking the car at this stage untill we see who confirms but Brisvegas im sure we can organise some rum for you.

markTHEblake
7th August 2008, 06:51 PM
it would make more sense for people to fly in and out of Brisbane. Many more opportunities to hitch a ride, and the airport train to within 5 mins of PM as a backup.

sms316
8th August 2008, 07:38 AM
There could be an opportunity for someone who flys in to Coolangatta to hitch a ride with myself and bride, however, we have only hired a Lancer. With enough luggage for a week, plus my golf bag, it could be a tad snug though.

Courty
8th August 2008, 07:43 AM
Optional roof racks? :p

For the passenger?

Courty

That could work too. ;)

Courty
20th August 2008, 05:08 PM
Bump.

Despite some people playing at the coast, I'm still keen for this one.

3rd October 2008, 08:06 AM
booked 2 groups for 12:40 & 12:50pm. Confirmed guest rate of $75 in carts.

If there is anyone else wanting to play, please let me know ASAP so i can grab a 3rd group. There was a 12 noon shotgun corporate day on and 12:40pm was the first available group.

alright alright, so I booked a third group. Slight change of plans in that we're now off at 12:00 noon as a shotgun start (on different holes to the corporate group).

Got room for a couple more now.

It appears I may be in Brisbane that weekend after all. No chance of playing the champs, but could possibly get to Bris a day before the rest of the family and play Brooky. When do you need to know Dion ?

BrisVegas
14th October 2008, 01:15 PM
I've got 3 groups booked already. There's a spot for you if you want it.... 12:00 noon shotgun start.

BrisVegas

There'll be a comp available to play on the day too if anyone wants. It's typically $7.50 and will be a single stab off the gold tees.

haysey

Is there any golf shops worth visiting that are easy to find between the airport and Brookwater8)

Jarro
31st October 2008, 05:34 PM
There's a Drummonds in the valley ... pretty close to the airport.

haysey
31st October 2008, 05:45 PM
:D I wonder if I could show up at Brookwater with something completely different to what I left Cairns with...

Jarro

Yes, there's a small corporate day on at the same time. So it's either shotgun start or play at 7am....

the elusive shaneo has gotten in touch with swanny and still wants to play Friday at Brookwater..

nudgee - are you still ok to relinquish your spot?? Sorry about the late notice, shaneo's been offline or something and couldn't confirm his attendance until just now.

BrisVegas
5th November 2008, 11:35 AM
have spoken with nudgee and he's cool to let shaneo take his spot.

If anyone is looking shaky and can't make it Friday, let us know ASAP. Nudgee will have the clubs in the car and is keen for a hit.....

Courty

Is he playing champs cos he has been turfed out, but there is sort of a spot.

BrisVegas
6th November 2008, 07:39 AM
no idea. haven't heard from him. he got in touch with swanny. I get the impression he might only have the chance to get out for the one game.

swanny
6th November 2008, 11:54 AM
Peteyd Shaneo advised that hes only playing the friday @ brookwater.

Iain 31
Vegas 30
shaneo 30
Bruce 29
Haysey 28
swanny 24

Surely Courty won't return to Brookwater again next year.....

Sydney Hacker
7th November 2008, 08:08 PM
will 33 points lose him a shot before the weekend ? the CCR there is normally pretty high isn't it ?

BrisVegas
7th November 2008, 08:09 PM
the odd thing is courty didn't hit it all that bad. It's just a course that punishes off-line shots. Courty had found a bit of form towards the end of the round, so I wouldn't count him out of it just yet.

Iain
7th November 2008, 09:52 PM
Thanks for organising the day Dion.

BrisVegas
7th November 2008, 10:10 PM
will 33 points lose him a shot before the weekend ? the CCR there is normally pretty high isn't it ?

CCR was 77 (oddly enough) so it might just cost him something....

I'm guessing that because they ran the comp just for us, the CCR was based on Iain's winning score.

Rusty
7th November 2008, 10:18 PM
Geezuz! 5 over par CCR of 77! i cant see what the "special conditions" were to let the CCR go out that far above par (other than it was HOT). :smt102

thanks for organising the day Vegas and putting those trees in the spots to knock a couple of my wayward pills back onto the fairway.

and a big thanks to my playing partners for making a fun day - Shaneo, Haysey and Bruce. Shaneo - very smooth swing that man, even with reg hire clubs.

BrisVegas
7th November 2008, 10:22 PM
oh that's right, you didn't play the comp did you??!! :wink:

Rusty
7th November 2008, 10:35 PM
well, the usual expectation for a comp round game at Brooky is an automatic +.1 :-k

AndyP
8th November 2008, 06:49 AM
So if Rusty had played the comp the ACR would have been 79?

Rusty
8th November 2008, 07:00 AM
with no "adverse weather conditions" present it could only be a max of 4 more than gold tees ACR of 73, +4 = 77.

AndyP
8th November 2008, 07:16 AM
If you were the only guys in the comp, then the CCR should've been the same as the ACR.

haysey
10th November 2008, 01:08 PM
Vegas, many thanks for organising this, much appreciated.

Rusty, Bruce and Shaneo, thanks for the round:D

BrisVegas
10th November 2008, 01:57 PM
no worries haysey, you're always welcome to come for a hit if you're in town.

PeteyD
10th November 2008, 02:03 PM
He sure is, great man to play golf with. Mind you stand a few feet further away from him than you are used to on a tee box, that wing span is pretty huge :D

Courty
10th November 2008, 09:30 PM
Courty had found a bit of form towards the end of the round, so I wouldn't count him out of it just yet.

I'll be back. I've got a score to settle with that course. :oops:

I'll be back. I've got a score to settle with that course. :oops:

Me too, but can I play off the ladies tees:smt061Its the only way I'll get past 30 points:cry:

BrisVegas
11th November 2008, 07:37 PM
hate to be the bearer of bad news haysey, but those were almost the ladies tees. Many of the social tees were being renovated, so we were a long way forward. Didn't help me either, just so we're clear. :wink:

Bruce
11th November 2008, 07:49 PM
There were still 2 boxes in front of us on every hole from memory. Is there 4 or 5 teeing ground there?

BrisVegas
11th November 2008, 07:52 PM
4 i think. There are black, gold, silver and jade. They had the gold tees on the silver the boxes on plenty of holes, as mentioned above.

shazza_rs
11th November 2008, 07:54 PM
there is Jade and then another set in front of them... think they are social tees, and high handicap ladies.

BrisVegas
11th November 2008, 07:55 PM
ahh that's right, there are social ladies tees too! good pickup shazza.

shazza_rs
11th November 2008, 07:58 PM
