Staying down Brisbane for a few more days to Wednesday if any one wants a hit Monday to Tuesday

[Jarro]

Dave, i don't have a roster for those dates yet ... but if i'm off i'll be up for a hit on either the Monday or Tuesday

[damoocow]

Dave - Keperra do an open comp on Wed and Sun but it's getting pretty expensive - $35 - alternatively we can play social for $25 - Monday is a good day to get on the main 18 -

[Davemason]

sound good guys
Also up for a Sunday hit
If I was to play it would have to be morning Monday or Tuesday. I'm staying out at Algester

[Davemason]

anyone up for a game ????

[AndyP]

I'm using my permission slip for a concert on Saturday night, and won't be able to take leave for work sorry.

[Jarro]

anyone up for a game ????

Dave, i'm off from the monday thru to the thursday ...... and i'm available for a game (as long as it's not super early in the morning)

[jaybam]

I am having my ekka day on the Monday so would probably also be up for a hit.Prefer morning but like Jarro not super early. Where we going to play?

[Davemason]

Monday will be good for me

early to mid morning around 8AM

[damoocow]

I'm interested in playing but depends on the tee time as I have to take my kids to school

[Jarro]

Any particular preference on courses Dave ?

[markTHEblake]

what the ? are they having teachers free days now?

[damoocow]

Sorry - are you moonlighting as a private detective now ?................

[markTHEblake]

just never heard of a teacher wagging school before :-)

[damoocow]

just never heard of a teacher wagging school before :-)

I've taken leave for the rest of term 3 [6 weeks] - fancy coming up for a game at Keperra ?

[Jarro]

Moo, are there any open comps on at Keperra on these dates that Dave is here ?

[damoocow]

Sun 17th is an Open Comp [single/4bbb s.ford medley] - I have something on in the morning but could get there for a 12ish tee time - first tee times on Sundays are from around 1030 or so

Wed 20th is an Open Comp [stroke medal day] - sheet not open yet but various times usually available

It is dear to play Open Comps as a visitor though - $35 I think

[Jarro]

I don't think Dave is available for the wednesday comp ??

How about a social hit on the Mon/Tues ?

[damoocow]

Sounds good - Jaybam was keen for hit too - on the Monday ? - that would make a group of 4 - Dave - any preference where you want to play - where are you staying ?

[Davemason]

No preference where we play

I'm staying out at Algester

[jaybam]

About ten mins up the road from where i am Dave :) Easy to get to most courses from there straight on the highway.

[markTHEblake]

I've taken leave for the rest of term 3 [6 weeks]

didnt you consider the poor children. disrupting their education like that


fancy coming up for a game at Keperra ?

Oh I would love to play there, but I got way too many different things going on at moment - would kill for a free day but not anytime soon.

[damoocow]

So - can we maybe sort this out ? - are we playing on the Monday or the Tuesday ? - and what preferences do people have for the venue ?

[jaybam]

I am only available on the Monday but am a bit deflated with my game at the mmoment. Is there anywhere that has open comps on a monday?? Apparently keppera do a open comp on mondays for about the 30 dollar mark. Is this true and thats about my limit lol.

[damoocow]

JB - Keperra haven't done an open Monday this year - I think the 1st tee info is out of date - Monday is set aside for social [ although they have the vets off one tee around 7ish] - $25 for social play

[jaybam]

Think it needs to be updated then??

[damoocow]

Exactly - I think there are probably a few things out of date there but I have no idea how to update it - isn't it locked ?

[jaybam]

yup i beleive one of our mods takes care of that thread

[AndyP]

I rely on PMs or threads to update the Open Day thread. I'll get rid of the Keperra Monday comp. It was only for the first Monday of the month anyway.

[damoocow]

also AP can you update that the Keperra open days are now $35 - ouch

[AndyP]

With Nudgee's now at $30, it's not as bad as it sounds. The cheap comps are disappearing.

[damoocow]

After talking to Jaybam - we are possibly looking at Keperra on the Monday [18th] - tee time of somewhere between 930 - 10 am - social cost $25 - will try to get on Old Course but will depend on time - any objections or other suggestions ?

1.damoocow
2.jarro
3.jaybam
4.davemason

[markTHEblake]

Perhaps it not the cheap green fees dissapearing but the value of the dollar?

[jaybam]

Stiff if there is mate. Good job and look forward to the game. Some one had to take it by the scruff of the neck and make a decision :)

[Jarro]

Nice work Moocow

[Davemason]

sound fine mate

good work on getting it sorted

[jaybam]

Well done Damo look forward to a round with two different ozgolfers :) and jarro

[damoocow]

Thanks mate

Good question Dave - do not know the definitive answer - isn't reciprocal free but you pay the comp fee if playing in a comp ? - I'll ask next time I am out there

[Davemason]

It's not free but a reduced green fee or the same green fees as a full member.

[Davemason]

Just rang the club and yes I get it for nothing for be from Bargara GC.

All I have to do is show up and show my card.

So I'll be Anthony Keleher for the day 8-[

Thanks for the game guys. Enjoyed it heaps and the golf was ok. Also good to meet another ozgolfer in Dave. First time i have ever played a course where all 6 shots are on one nine. Makes it hard to get going if you dont get a shot till the 10th hole but at least i got all six on the back nine. Oh and heres a tip, Dont ever stand in front of Jarro or even thing you could dodge side to side. His got a great aim just ask the greenkeeper in the buggy that thought it was safe to just dart out of the trees without looking on the 18th !!! Think the only reason the poor bugger didnt stop is because he had to go change his jocks :) Anyway great company on a good course thanks Damo

[Jarro]

Great day to be out golfing today ..... nice course (slick greens) good company :)

Thanks to Damo, JayBam and Davemason for the day ... it was fun. Some good golf in patches by us, and some ordinary as well :(

Thanks Damo for organising.

P.S. see if you can find out who that clown was driving across the 18th will ya :roll: He's the luckiest man alive !!

[damoocow]

Picture the scene - Jarro hits a blinder of a tee shot straight down the middle of the 18th fairway - while we admire the extended hang time of the drive an open buggy with one of the greens staff in it accelerates from out of the left treeline - in one of those slow motion moments where you know disaster is about to unfold , the descending golf ball and the buggy are on a collision course - I would guess that the impact was on the front of the buggy - near where the windscreen would usually be - another 2 feet and he would have worn it right on the top of his head - would not have been pretty at all - but the most amazing thing was that he had a quick look left to the tee and just kept on going straight ahead - didn't even slow down !..............Nerves of Steel the greens staff at Keperra !

And thanks for the day guys - the golf was a bit ordinary at times but it was fun - especially watching some of those uphill putts on the last !

[jaybam]

which ones there was plenty.

[Jarro]

That 18th green is a brute !! :shock:

[Davemason]

Thanks for the day guys , a bit of a disappointed day for me on the ball striking front , thank god for the par 5 to scramble some points on. even though there was some tight holes and that 18th what a finishing hole. I'll play there a gain.

[damoocow]

Dave thanks for getting along to the game, I don't think we've played together since the 1st champs at CTH in 2004 ? - are you coming to the next champs in November ?.........Look at having another go at organising a game up at Coral Cove / Bargara some time - it would actually be a good ozgolf champs double - there is onsite accom at Coral Cove still I guess ?

[Davemason]

are you coming to the next champs in November ??

Depending on the finances around that time I make the call about 3-4 weeks out


Look at having another go at organising a game up at Coral Cove / Bargara some time - it would actually be a good ozgolf champs double - there is onsite accom at Coral Cove still I guess ?

Yes if I come to the champs I'll make some noise about organising a weekend here . Or at least plant the seed.

And yes onsite accommodation here at Coral Cove
with the course in very good nick, the fairways lush and green with only a couple of rough patches and good fast true greens as well

[Jarro]

Geez we've been talking this for a while haven't we :roll:

[AndyP]

All it takes is for one other person to be having a trip up there and others will join in. Just like my Newcastle/Sydney trip last year.

[jaybam]

From what i have seen on the website it looks like a great place for a weekend away. Maybe next time your over there Dave you can see what sort of accomodation/golf deal you can get us ??? Then we will have somewhere to start :)
