View Full Version : Hello from Twin Creeks
GAS
26th November 2008, 01:05 AM
Hello Everyone. I am pleased to be a part of this forum and look forward to reading about the Golfing yarn around the country if not the world.
I have been playing golf for a while and struggling to get a bogie round at my new club at Twin Creeks. My official handicap is 21 so I am looking forward to bringing that down to 18 hopefully by the end of 2009.
Although I have been playing social golf for a long time I haven't participated in a competition yet so I look forward to getting some advice from forum members on the dos and donts.
Look forward to chatting with you all. Cheers.
PS No I'm not a female but a fan of Michelle Wie for many reasons and I hope she bounces back to top form one day!

Welcome GAS. What are your feelings on club committees, slow play and cheating C graders?

If you're ever in Brisbane, look me up and I'll show you around Brookwater.

I am going to call that a photoshop. It looks like the putter was resting on the outside, and has been given a little bit of a "purple" touch-up.

Thanks for the very warm welcome guys. I am open to play any day at Twin Creeks. How about sometime during the week of 15th December just after the Aust Open. That way we're all psyched up for a round.
Please let me know. Cheers.

Actually I only realised after I wrote my original thread that bouncing back could indeed refer to other ways of bouncing!=P~

I have to say that the Troon team are just absolutely wonderful - very professional, courteous and always smiling!

You'll have to excuse my ignorance but I haven't dealt with a committee member other than the Pro on the ground who is just a great guy. Slow games are very frustrating to say the least and most of the players at Twin Creeks are very good about letting you through. Finally - you've caught me - sorry, what is C graders?
With respect to cheating I think the best way to tell a persons character is by the way he/she plays with dignity and respect including counting all the shots. So if they chose to cheat they really are just cheating on their character and self worth.:roll:
I hope that covers your questions Razaar!

If that is the case, they did a great job with the shadow on the handle.
I'll have a dollar it's not.

You've got to be kidding me. Real or not, the work involved to doctor a photo in such a way is basic stuff, and a trivial task for any shmuck with more than 10 minutes experience in Photoshop.
I'll take you on that dollar. It's win-win for me. Either it's fake and I get a buck, or it's real which itself is all flavours of awesome.

Hmm, not sure I qualify for a shmuck then.
I've been playing with a good photoshop for 3yrs or so and thought I knew what to look for,inlight of all this new evidence I guess I'm wrong.
