Golf Components Australia ??????

[oobsadd2]

Dont suppose anybody knows what is happening at Golf Components Australia. Their internet store is closed and the 1800 number goes straight to a answering service.
I keep on thinking of Queen Armidala on Naboo. "Communication has been shut down and can only mean one thing INVASION !"

No really, Ive never bought anything from them before. I got the info from OzGolf threads. They do exist dont they?
They were real enough to debit my bank account, but not real enough to tell me what happening with my order ??????

[adlo]

I don't know, but isn't Golfcomponents.com.au Ben from thegolfforum? Might be able to find out over there.

[oobsadd2]

Ive had a look and im not sure.
I think I need to join the forum to get much information.
My application to join is in the hands of the administrator.

[Bruce]

That is certainly Ben - but I'm not sure of the exact status of his golf sales now he has shut down the shop. He has a new job now.

[Toolish]

So is ben totally out of components and club making now?

[oobsadd2]

I hope he is "in it" enough to honour his current orders.:smt087

[sms316]

Wouldn't be surprised if he is morally bankrupt.

[Webster]

Wouldn't be surprised if he is morally bankrupt.

Still bitter about being banned from TGF for behaving like a dickhead ?

[sms316]

Not at all. I freely admit I deserved it.

I just don't like the guy, and I have every right not to.

[Webster]

How many times have you met him?

[sms316]

I didn't say he was ugly. Just that I don't like him.

I've never met Nelson Mandela, but I think I am safe in saying he is a good guy.

[Webster]

It is very shallow to pass judgement on someone without having actually met them.

[sms316]

Are you suggesting that I shouldn't say Mandela is a good bloke?

[Webster]

No more than saying you dont like Ben, considering you haven't met either of them. What reason have you got to dislike Ben when by your own admission your banning from TGF was your own fault - "I freely admit I deserved it."

[PeteyD]

Did SMS getting banned on TGF mean he came here?

[Webster]

PeteyD, Yes of course.

[PeteyD]

So the rest of us can hate Ben with impunity?

[Webster]

hahaha...at least YOU have a valid reason..........

[sms316]

No more than saying you dont like Ben, considering you haven't met either of them. What reason have you got to dislike Ben when by your own admission your banning from TGF was your own fault - "I freely admit I deserved it."
I have no reason to go into it here. I think the guy is a prick, and I am entitled to my opinion (and also entitled to voice my opinion - just like you are entitled to voice yours).

[Jarro]

SMS, you also thought i was a prick ..... until you met me ?

[oobsadd2]

When i spoke to him last week, he said he was having computer problems.
I have my tax invoice/ receipt and he has my credit card details.
My account hasnt been debited............So maybe he
1. has no record of my order and doesnt know im waiting
2. Is waiting for stock to come in before He debits my account
3. Shut up shop and ignored my order.

Im not sure what to do now. Wait I guess.

[sms316]

That is still very ordinary customer service and it is no wonder people are suspicious.

[Grunt]

In all my dealings with Ben he has honoured every order and I actually think he lost money on the Bite Golf shoes he once sold me.

[Webster]

I have no reason to go into it here. I think the guy is a prick, and I am entitled to my opinion (and also entitled to voice my opinion - just like you are entitled to voice yours).

So you think it is ok to label someone you have never met as a "prick" and "morally bankrupt" yet you are too cowardly to say why?

You are an idiot (and I can say that with absolute authority having met you on more than one occasion).

[sms316]

I never said he was a prick or morally bankrupt - I just said it was my opinion/wouldn't be surprised if that was so.

You however, called me an idiot. Personal attack - sheesh.
:-k

[macjackass]

You thought it was more than fine to label me as suspicious yet you'd never met me. There's one idiot been posting in this thread and it's not sms316.

[Webster]

I never said he was a prick or morally bankrupt - I just said it was my opinion/wouldn't be surprised if that was so.


Perhaps the most pathetic attempt at a retraction I have ever seen on this forum. Why do you continue to embarass yourself in this fashion? If you are not prepared to stand by your statements then don't make them.

[Jarro]

Lets try and play nice people .....


.. we don't want anyone getting banned over this now do we ?

Peace

[sms316]

Who said anything about a retraction? I just said they are my opinions, of which I am entitled.

[Webster]

You thought it was more than fine to label me as suspicious yet you'd never met me.

I said your club was suspicious, not you. Only your failure to provide any photos of those Callaways made you look suspicious.

There's one idiot been posting in this thread and it's not sms316.

its not me either, so it must be YOU!



...

[Webster]

Who said anything about a retraction? I just said they are my opinions, of which I am entitled.

You seem to be confused. On one hand you say that you didnt say those things, but that they are your opinions (but written clearly in this thread) so you are entitled to them?

Please make up your mind.

[sms316]

Is English your second language Shane?

[Webster]

Lets try and play nice people .....


.. we don't want anyone getting banned over this now do we ?

Peace

Jarro, please don't ban sms316 from Ozgolf - he wont have any other Aussie golf forums where he can contribute...and he might think you were a prick/morally bankrupt for doing it!

[macjackass]

Lets try and play nice people .....


.. we don't want anyone getting banned over this now do we ?

Peace

I don't think anyone would mind if one of the posters in this thread was banned.

[sms316]

You are being a crybaby Jack.

Jarro is a good fella.

[Webster]

I don't think anyone would mind if one of the posters in this thread was banned.

correct, we wouldnt miss you for a second...

[Webster]

Jarro is a good fella.

You now know that because you have met him, right?????

[sms316]

I knew that before last weekend. He likes a stir as much as me.

[macjackass]

correct, we wouldnt miss you for a second...

Of all the ozgolfers I've met i'm yet to find one who has a good word to say about you.

[Webster]

Of all the ozgolfers I've met i'm yet to find one who has a good word to say about you.

Really, which ones have you met that have met me? Don't be shy...out with their names...

[Jarro]

What have you got to say about all this then ben ???

[ben]

Of all the ozgolfers I've met i'm yet to find one who has a good word to say about you.

Well here's one. Jack has got to be one of the most stand up guys on the planet, and at least you know where you stand with him.

SMS16, I'm glad you think I'm a prick, I'd hate you to think I was a good bloke, as that'd prob mean I'd have some of your "personality" traits. The last thing I'd ever want is a personal connection with the likes of yourself.

Back on topic. Yes I am winding up both our golf operations as my other business has taken my focus away from golf. For those that don't know I have gone back into one of our family businesses as my father had to retire due to health concerns. I have been away (almost living in QLD now, and it sucks) for the last week or so, so yes there are some orders that have banked up that'll get sorted out over the next few days.

[sms316]

What have you got to say about all this then ben ???
A glowing endorsement for me no doubt.
:mrgreen:

[sms316]

Might be time to get rid of your signature benny boy.

[Jarro]

Thanks for clearing all that up for us ben :)

However did you know to pop in here right at this particular moment ??

;)

[Jarro]

Might be time to get rid of your signature benny boy.

:shock:

[ben]

Might be time to get rid of your signature benny boy.

I think its fine now.

[sms316]

Good for you. At least get it right.

Professionalism isn't your strong point, is it?

[Jarro]

Um, might be an idea to change that ben ..... otherwise it'll get changed for you ;)

[3oneday]

Nice sig benny boy.... 8) (still can't count I see :lol:)

You don't call me anymore :cry:

[Webster]

Jeez I'm a bit worried at how long it is taking Mackjackass to put together this list of names.....it must be huge!!

If it makes it easier, I invite all those who have met me and think I'm a prick to come right out in this thread and say it...I know at least a few will including the likes of golfer69 and Jarro, so come on everyone join the party...tell it like it is...I can take it...

[ben]

Hey pete,

I lost your # at some stage (theres no longer a Homo Pete in my phone :) ). PM me and I'll call you. You still in that upper class suburb of Blacktown? :)

[3oneday]

I love you Jack.

It's the Taj Mahal of Cambletown :roll:


I love you Jack.

:smt078

[ben]

we did a job in blacktown, made sure our guys had bullet proof vests. Wouldn't let them stay there either :)

[3oneday]

It's the Taj Mahal of Cambletown :roll:
Is Cambletown near Decription Bay ?

[Webster]

FFS a bloke ducks out to the Tab at lunch and grab a sub and misses this gem.

Jack..CLINT.

See, I can handle the truth...keep 'em coming everyone....


(thanks 3oneday - but you are disqualified becasue you haven't met me)

[Jarro]

Is Cambletown near Decription Bay ?

Don't knock The Bay mate ...... it's on the way up !!!! :mrgreen:

[Grunt]

Have to says Jacks not bad. And we did share a red or 2 on Sat Night.

[WBennett]

Gees Jack

I thought you and SMS would be best mates after your Queensland holiday together....

[Webster]

69'er please, keep this on topic. Take your silly posts off to another thread.

Ok, I gotta go to a meeting for the next 2 hours, I expect to see McJackass's list of names on this thread when I get back.

Jack.

[sms316]

He's just upset because he is fatter than me now.

You don't count Grant - you probably think Robert Mugabe has some good points.

[WBennett]

Will we see a Biggest Loser style playoff for the 2009 Champs? Jack vs SMS - may the smallest manboobs win!

[Webster]

He's just upset because he is fatter than me now.
:mrgreen:

I think you need new contact lenses and a new mirror sms, as poidda pointed out in the other thread, although well done on losing the better part of 20kg's. A shame you need to resort to personal attacks to make your point though, its a real sign of weakness in your ability to converse.

[Grunt]

Will we see a Biggest Loser style playoff for the 2009 Champs? Jack vs SMS - may the smallest manboobs win!

You going to make it to the 2009 champs to see it for yourself?

[sms316]

I would hate to think I have offended you Jack.

[WBennett]

Grunt

With number 2 on the way in April, I will struggle to make it out of the driveway to my golf course for a year or two, let alone a gentle boozy weekend away with 40 of my newest closest pisshead mates ;)

[amanda]

we did a job in blacktown, made sure our guys had bullet proof vests. Wouldn't let them stay there either :)
mate - if you're worried about blacktown - don't come to Mt Druitt! (we are temporarily renting while waiting for our house to be built)

[Webster]

Not at all, although you may have further embarassed yourself.

[BrisVegas]

20kgs! Holy crap batman! how big were you before?

[Jarro]

20kgs! Holy crap batman! how big were you before?


.. about the same size as DC i'd reckon

[3oneday]

I expect to see McJackass's list of names on this thread when I get back. Jack.
I think not oh beloved one, he's just dropped of a driver to me and is off to work I think.

:smt057

[PeteyD]

20kgs! Holy crap batman! how big were you before?

They just cut off his second head.

[Iain]

How did they decide which one to cut off?

[dc68]

.. about the same size as DC i'd reckon



Oi you F*cken dwarf!!!! piss off.....

Righto my goal for champs next year is to be about the hundred kg range.
(wish me luck)


I had reserved judgement on Jack until I had met him and I think he's a nice fella.

In saying that I also enjoyed SMS's company on the weekend.


Let's all agree that they really don't like each other and get over it.

[sms316]

I thought you could handle your grog until I met you.

[Dazza]

I said your club was suspicious, not you. Only your failure to provide any photos of those Callaways made you look suspicious.

You're correct, there were no photos posted in that thread.
I PM'd Macjackass my mobile number, and had images on my phone in under 15 minutes, and the serial number from the clubs as well.
And based on his trouble-free dealings in the past, I had no reason to think that this deal would be any different.

[mikezone13]

Nothing like 'handbags at 5 paces' between a couple of golfers on an online forum ;)

Keep it going and we could get some Mundine v Green action happening soon!

[PeteyD]

Be more Foreman and some other old fat bugga wouldn't it?

[3oneday]

Who slagged who ?


I thought it was just a love-in :)

[adlo]

I thought they were trying to help oobsadd2.

Honestly though, this thread has served its purpose. Shutting it down would probably be for the greater good.

Why, does the sound irritate you ?

Smart arse :)

Well Im sort of helped... I now know that Ben is from Golf Components Australia, that despite his web site saying " Please check back in a little while" you neednt bother.
He will mysteriously pop up to post a thread when he is getting a bagging but ignore the real issue.
I know he doesnt follow up on promises, return phone calls or return messages.
All I want to know is
Are you going to fulfill my order? Yes or No.
Cmon I want to move on.

Seems he is trying to get everything sorted by the above post Oobsy.

[oobsadd2]

Still waiting........................

[oobsadd2]

and waiting..............

[AndyP]

By next few days, he probably meant next few weeks....or months?

[oobsadd2]

finally...................an email

"Please note that Golf Components Australia has now closed. Any orders
that have been placed and have not been shipped have been cancelled.
These orders have not been charged and will not be charged.
If you have an outstanding order that has been charged please email the
details to sales@serpellgolf.com.au including the date when the order was
placed and a scan of a statement showing a charge (there should be no
outstanding charged orders).

[Jarro]

Yeah, i got the same email today.

Glad i didn't have an order placed with them :roll:

[Toolish]

what other places are there to get component gear in Australia?

[3oneday]

alternativegolf.com.au ?
clubmate-golf.com.au

[Flowergirl]

Ok you boys - behave or you'll all be sent to your rooms.

For the record - Ben is a top bloke. I bought my clubs from him when I was just starting out and he treated me with respect and sold me a great set of irons. If he has been a bit slow in responding to your request - give him a break. He said that he's had to close down his business, move interstate and deal with his ill father. Even though your order is a priority to you - at this stage it isn;t to Ben. I know that p*sses you off but sometimes you need to put things into perspective. I hope that you resolve this soon. :)

SMS - you haven't met Ben - so just shut up!!!

For the record - I thought that Jack was a prick before I met him - now I've changed my mind. He's a good bloke - a friggin stirrer that deserves a good spanking at times - but under that cantankerous exterior lies a good heart.:mrgreen:

Now - start playing nice or just wait till your Dad gets home and then there will be real trouble.:smt093

[oobsadd2]

where the queue for the spanking?? :)
