2009 McLeod Cup, Saturday April 18, 7:45a & 11a

[AndyP]

This will be the sixth year we have played it as a group, and only AndyLo has played them all. I've been a bit slow to organise this year, but initiallythey had the date as Easter Saturday which would have ruled several of us out. Plus my interest in golf hasn't been up there.

I've called the club and the timesheet probably isn't open to guests until two weeks beforehand, with fellows having access next week. A contact at the club will hopefully call me tomorrow to confirm.

I hope we can get some full groups in the morning. I'd expect the comp to be a cheap one as usual too (<$15).

Of course I have to mention that three of us have held the cup (AndyP, Choppa, AndyLo).

I have a reds game in the afternoon so will need an early tee off.

[AndyP]

How early? I usually go for the 7am to 8am tee times.

Wasn't the Woodford Open in May last year, Cobra? Or isn't this the 2 day event?

[PeteyD]

7-8 is fine.

McLeod has got back to me with some times that we can play in. Unfortunately, only two groups in the morning field (7:42, 7:48 ) and the other three are at 11am.

I know PeteyD has a time restriction and has to play morning, and therefore BrisVegas does too.

I'm sure most would like the earlier slot, but it's unfortunately it's not possible. Personally I had a preference for the morning, but the later times don't rule me out from playing.

Please let me know if you have a strong preference for a particular session as soon as possible, so I can reorganise my drafted groups and get back to the club.

[goonie]

I will have to play in the morning too or I will have to skip this one.

[senecio]

I'm flexible Andy, put me down for either.

[Jarro]

I'm afraid i'd prefer an early tee-time also.

[jaybam]

Also an early tee time here or i will have to withdraw :(

[nudgee]

either for me ap

[AndyP]

Thanks to the replies so far. Any more or you don't care?

[peter_rs]

either

[evenpar70]

Take the riverlakes crew out I've contacted the club and split us into 2 groups in the morning 7.18 and 7.54 I also informed them we were on your email list you have sent to them so they have taken us off that aswell. Cheers! Catch you guys out there!

[Rusty]

either. i'll say that for Baz as well. Baz correct me if you disagree.

[BrisVegas]

either. i'll say that for Baz as well. Baz correct me if you disagree.

I'm not convinced you and baz are different people... :lol:

[Rusty]

one of us is Mini Me, just not sure which one.

must say, though it's probably been said elsewhere, that avatar of yours still freaks me out.

[Iain]

I'll have to be early thanks AndyP, got to work in the arvo.

[CobraSS]

...

[AndyP]

Ziggy prefers four dots.

[markTHEblake]

this time, i dont mind either, if its morning, just be considerate for those with the longest drive to the course. 8am or after would be sweet.

[AndyP]

this time, i dont mind either, if its morning, just be considerate for those with the longest drive to the course. 8am or after would be sweet.I've already told you the times.

So you don't mind either session, but you want after 8am, which means you don't want 7:45a, because that's what I've got in the morning session, which is before 8 not after, but still the morning session, which is what you don't mind, but don't want. :?

huh :mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

I've already told you the times.

OKOK - i get it now. :neutral: (didnt get the 2nd paragraph at all......)

I dont need to play in the morning, so i shall take one of the 11am spots, happy to let those that need the morning slots get them

Baz, if you wanna car pool, no can do, i aint coming home till Sunday.

[just]

I don't mind, as long as the draw is random.

[AndyP]

My thinking is random, so that makes the draw random.

Thanks AndyP.

[PeteyD]

thanks AP. Now to crush BV like a bug!

[PeteyD]

Things not loooking good for me at the moment. Need babysitting urgently.

[AndyP]

That sucks, Petey. Is selling the kids for permanent pain relief an option?

There's already a spare spot in our later groups. Does anyone in the morning that was flexible in their times before mind a switch to the later time? That way, I can get evenpar70 into our groups.

[PeteyD]

Selling em might be an option. Wife's stupid work rostered her in when they were told not to. I will endeavour to find a solution in the next couple of days.

[BrisVegas]

does this mean my pizzling is on hold???

[PeteyD]

Not just yet but I seem to be running scared ... ;)

[BrisVegas]

fair enough too. i'm a special at McLeod.

[Eag's]

I just realised I am on an a 2pm shift that day, for some stupid reason I thought I was working a day shift :oops:. AP was there many spots left when you booked the Oz golf groups in? Might ring them in the morning and see if any morning spots are available, don't like my chances.

[PeteyD]

Good chance at my spot Eags. Next weekend is turning into a major disaster for us.

[BrisVegas]

wanna reschdule our match for Sat 25th at Brooky? It's a single stroke off the plates. :smt023

[PeteyD]

A faint hope has arisen, maybe not. With you shooting handicap at Brooky that sounds like suicide. Mind you Saturdays are out for me during school terms.

[PeteyD]

The pizzling is back on!! Wear your brown undies BV!

Eag's, I don't know if you have already called or not, but there is one free spot in our four groups. It's in the late slot at the moment, but I'll send a couple of PMs/SMSes to see if those that were happy for either time before can still play later.

McLeod did indicate that there were spare spots otherwise.

[Eag's]

Cheers for that Andy, but if people aren't keen to change then to bad for me, it's all good :)

[AndyP]

I've moved to 11am, so Eag's can play with us in the morning. Baz has withdrawn.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH, a blast from the past 8)

Old Macca sure knew how to take a classy pic :lol:

[markTHEblake]

he actually has photos of him 'watering' the local facilities in every place/country he has visited. which reminds me, he promised me a pic of one in the Dead Sea, i havent seen that one yet.

One day someone is gunna pinch his camera while he sets it up on the timer for the 'shot' in the dunny, wonder how quick he can get dressed to start chasing em.

I wish i had a camera handy the day he tried distributing medication to the other golfers at Ocean Shores :lol:

Probably not that well. All those areas in the valley become a bit of a river, joining the dams together.

a week of sunshine and all will be well :)

[BrisVegas]

I wish i had a camera handy the day he tried distributing medication to the other golfers at Ocean Shores :lol:

yes, i remember that day well. There was the extra cart which we didn't pay for, the confusion with the groups, the pill-popping on the 1st tee and then witnessing Fishman Dan shoot 164! Top day.:lol:

[poidda]

I'll put myself down as a last minute fill in if someone pulls out.

[AndyP]

Did you miss the thread or just become available?
I could look for a two in the morning and put you in with evenpar70 if there is something there?

[Jarro]

Are we all starting on the first tee ?

I need to start sorting out my game plan.

[AndyP]

We are all off the tenth as usual.

[nudgee]

AndyP - hate to be a pain but Cant Buy a Putt has agreed to play our matchplay at McLeod if possible. Any chance we could change someone from our group to earlier slot and let Cant buy a putt jump in the 11:00 slot? If too difficult then no problems.

i know I know, I am a pain in the butt!!!

[AndyP]

The problem is that there are no slots for someone in the group to move into. However, I'll ring tomorrow to see what's still available.

I thought it was too early for you to be withdrawing. ;)

[nudgee]

thanks AP and dont worry not pulling out of this one. If nothing can be done then no sweat.

cheers

[poidda]

Getting married in a couple of weeks, so haven't been able to commit up until now. What ever's easiest TBH.

[AndyP]

Does anyone have can'tbuyaputt's details?

[poidda]

Commit to the golf or the marriage ????
:roll:

[nudgee]

AP all I know is that his name is Stu - sorry thats all.

Jamie

[shavey]

AP should have his details; spoke with Stu today.

[AndyP]

No, I don't. I haven't heard from him.

[AndyP]

I haven't called the club to check on spare spots yet, because I'm not prepared to give them a dodgy name to reserve the spot, then change it later. They have been relatively helpful over the years, so I want to avoid screwing them around more than we do already.

If 'Stu' sends me his details, I'll ring them to see what's available.

As I said Pee, I can take it or leave it, so will just fill a spot if one comes up. i agree with not screwing the club around.

Yeah if need be.

[PeteyD]

At least the weather is cooperating!

I dont mind playing but really couldnt be stuffed either way. If your really keen to play Poidda take my spot. Have lost intrest in golf at the moment anyway. I wont pull out and leave a vacant spot but if someone wants to play more than me (wouldnt be hard at the moment) by all means cross me out and put yourself in.

[AndyP]

I'll just wait and see what happens with Stu. He is having some golflink numbers troubles with his club.

I'll take your spot if you want Jaybam, but it's your call.

[AndyP]

Did you have a preference for playing time, poid?

[poidda]

Did you have a preference for playing time, poid?

Yeah morning works well for me. I can cut a deal with bridrzilla if home at lunch'ish.

[AndyP]

Poid, I had the option of 6:42a or 10:54a. I'm glad you said morning, because that's what I went with. It's a little earlier than I preferred, especially since my current plan was to walk there from home, but I wanted to be home for the arvo too.

**** me. is the sun up at 6..42? ;)

Cheers Andy.

[poidda]

Oh, and I'll ask nuttedit if he wants the earlier spot. That way he can pick me up! ;)

[BrisVegas]

if you want a volunteer for the early slot, i'll play then. i'm up at sparrows usually anyway... depends on peteyd i gues..

[poidda]

AndyP - Nuttedit is happy to swap if you want. He doesn't care either way, which ever works best. I'm the same for that matter.

[AndyP]

I knew I'd talk him out of that silly request to play with jarro eventually.

9 shots the difference? 17 v 8. Any chance you can drop another shot in your Friday round at Wynnum this week? An even 4-a-side is easier to count.

[jaybam]

change me to any am time slot.
if i am going to play the earlier i get out of there the better

I think that matches most peoples preferences for lifts, brownie points, and footy watching.

Playing Pacific tomorrow, to make McLeod seem easy ;)

No chance to sneak out to 18, possibly drop to 16, we shall see. You could drop to 7 and then an even 5 a side would be nice :D

[gregh]

Gday all, has anyone heard how wet the course is cos my all carry of the tee is looking good compared to evenpars worm burners

[PeteyD]

Course should be fine. Last time I played it, it was a dust bowl, so not sure what to expect now!

Are GPS allowed in the McLeod Cup?

[AndyP]

I don't know if it is wet and I don't know if GPS is allowed.

[PeteyD]

Some organiser you are! We shall find out on Saturday morning. And I shall know before most of you! Damn I have to get up early to get there in time.

You idiot. Told you to take em:roll:

[BrisVegas]

i might be able to find some if you really wanted. a guy up the road hardly plays anymore and he's got a nice setup that would fit you.

[AndyP]

Would you prefer ladies clubs or Palmer Prizms?

I think jaybam only wanted to give up his spot for one of the good guys....

[Courty]

If I have a choice, I'd prefer players cavities with stiff shafts. But for the sake of getting a game or not, I'll be most appreciative to take anything on offer. I'm even prepared to *shudder* hire clubs if it comes to that.

[peter_rs]

what is your swing temp this days?

Shazza's clubs could be perfect except for the drive which is a PL blue.

[Ned]

A set of TM's Or Titties are available and awaiting delivery within the next 45 mins if he wishes.

Voice mail message left and SMS sent with owners details!

[BrisVegas]

just had lunch with the Count. He's got the all clear from the doc to play and is mad keen for a hit.

Were there any last-minute pullouts ????

[andylo]

Courty, got a set of Wilson Fi5 with PX6.0

Got a 460 COMP driver (play 44") and some fairway woods in stiff flex too...

Wedges on the other hand are all light R flex shaft.

Putter of your choice.

Oh... if you are keen call my mobile... not likely to check OZG this arvo.

Sweet, get to play with the Count again!! :mrgreen:

[Iain]

I'll bring my x-tours tomorrow. I've only got 3-pw, oh, I've got a 54deg wedge as well if he needs it, someone else will need to supply the rest!!

[goonie]

I have an old Cobra SZ 5 wood NVS stiff, A TM Rescue Dual 19 TX90 S and and a set of Maxfli Revo's with PX 5.5's if he's desperate :-)

I've just broken into Courty's house and stolen his golf clubs....;)

What? Didn't think you had enough??

You can never have to many golf clubs:)

I'll bring my x-tours tomorrow. I've only got 3-pw, oh, I've got a 54deg wedge as well if he needs it, someone else will need to supply the rest!!

Bring those X-Tours Iain as I reckon they'll be better than the irons I've got for him, but courty can choose which ones he likes best.

I've got a bag made up for him with clubs as below, shoes, towels, balls, hat tees etc.... He can chop and change with whatever you later groups bring, just so long as I get all this gear back as it's Jayson's!

907D2 9.5 ust v2 75S
904F 15deg S300

I'll leave it with the shop. It'll be in my black Titleist staff bag and on the smoothy buggy.

Thanks to my playing partners Jarro, Nuttedit and Courty.

Was a decent day, course was in pretty good condition, much better than previous years. My play was ok, similar to yesterday at Pacific, just ok, pretty happy I was only a couple over the hcp.

Courty and Nuttedit took the cash too, thanks to a lucky birdie on the 8th (our 17th)!!

Thanks for organising AP.

[Eag's]

Yep another Mcleod Cup over and once again the course rips me a new one :oops:
Thanks for the day AP, Poidda & Goonie, nobody tore the place up but a fun day out 8-)
Cheers to AP for once again organising the day :smt023

[Jarro]

Thanks to Iain, nuttedit and Courty for a fun day out !!

McLeod is in great nick at the moment ..... the greens were great !

We didn't play that great, but there were some fine shots played throughout the course of the day.

Nice to finally have a hit with nuttedit. A real nice bloke to have a game of golf with, and a beer afterwards :smt023

Special mention to Courty, a fine round with borrowed clubs. Great work mate 8)

[golfnugget76]

I had a hit in the McLeod cup today also. It is my old track before becoming a mega member at Robina. It was great to see a few familiar Ozgolf faces there. Sounds like you boys enjoyed your day. I found a little bit of form today after playing poorly in recent months (75-69).

Course played very long today withour much run, but I agree the greens were super!

In my drunken and enjoyable stupor, did I see an NQ OZGOLFER tying for the best gross.

Way to go County, fly the flag for OZgolfers best golfing group!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AndyP]

Hey Dave, I'd never met you before, so I didn't say hello on the 2nd tee. Eag's told me who you were afterwards. Good to see you had a good score.

I thought the course played relatively tough today. If you missed the fairway or greens, you were more often that not in some pretty nasty rough (or in my case even worse). The slower pace of the greens, compared to Headland last week, took some adjusting though.

We all seemed to have some good patches in my group, but we also had some bad holes that screwed our scores. It was my first time playing with goonie, and I was very impressed with his short game. Although he didn't have a great day of it, he looked like he had the game to be several shots lower than a 10 handicap.

I was having a pretty good back nine, and prior to my 9I approach, poidda stated that it was going to be the shot of the day. It was easily my worst, as I hit it fat and into the drink 40m in front. Mission accomplished, poid. It was worth a good chuckle. Lucky I'm not a grumpy prick.....

Thanks for the game Poid, Rich and Lee. I had a good time out there.

Thanks to everyone for getting out there today. I don't like our chances next year of being grouped together, but at least we are still in the good books with the club for not having withdrawals.

Phew! That's my big OZgolf game organised for the year. Over to you, Jarro.

[AndyP]

FWIW, I was thinking there should be another potential major in August (to fill in the gap to Champs), even if it's a social round in August at somewhere like Northlakes. If we decide on a date early enough before the round, we should easily get four groups plus.

Actually, looking at the BDGA website the Frank Foley at Gailes on July 26 could be an option. It has had major status before.

Its the Golf Qld Country Week Championships, plenty of country bumkins in town !!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't the Frank Foley have handicap restrictions?

[Ned]

Only if you have a real handicap by then.

I have one now, its 12. (Golflink 19/04/09)

[AndyP]

That's not a real handicap. You should have 5 or something around there.

Step out of the Short Mans Syndromes shadow!!!!!!

[Jarro]

Doesn't the Frank Foley have handicap restrictions?

Yes i think it does.

[just]

Yes i think it does.
Not that its a problem, but it may restrict the field size and prevent it getting major status. The idea of something in late August or early September is a good one. Maybe tie into one of Golfnuggets events?

[golfnugget76]

No problems AndyP - I should have introduced myself! I'm a big fan of the forum and have enjoyed the Ozgolf days i've played in. Looking forward to getting back out for a hit. I'll speak to Jarro, and if he gets any late withdrawals or Nudgee, perhaps I can get a start?

If not, i'm sure there will be other opportunites.

[AndyP]

Dave, next year you'll have to check the BDGA calendar before booking all of your events. ;)
By the way, you should have a link to thetour.com.au in your signature.

How does that (net 62) compare to previous years? To be honest, I'm just glad I played okay, the last few years at McLeod have been a horror show for me. My chipping and putting let me down, I had around 40 putts.

My 2004 win was 64, as was Chops in 2006. A-Lo had 63 in 2007. It's worth mentioning that Chops had 64 for runner-up in 2007.

This year was the third year that none of us shot under our handicaps. The other three years, we produced the winner.

[PeteyD]

It was only because your August presence was not amoungst us for inspiration. Wanker!

[AndyP]

You blokes are dead set choppers. 62 wins, rates 69 and the best you can do is in the 70's.
Abysmal.
Where did you see the CCR?


Less time posting more time practicing.
Practising (enter henno) is cheating. Just like using GPS and getting coaching lessons.

[PeteyD]

CCR was 71 I thought. I remembered that I dislike that course quite a bit. No doubt I will forget that come next April.

That's A-Lo's fourth OZgolf top 3 at the McLeod Cup in a row. He certainly does pump himself up for it.

[Jarro]

Maybe his caddy is feeding him performance enhancing substances during the round.

i know i'd play a lot better too if i had a caddy for every round !

[Courty]

Only if you have a real handicap by then.

Yesterday's round at the Mareeba Open may have fixed that. :lol:

[Courty]

I'd like to throw a few thank-you's out there:

Jaybam for switching groups so I could play with some OZgolfers
BrisVegas for arranging the shoes, buggy, bag, wedges, etc etc
Iain for the irons
AndyP for the lift

nuttedit for making a great partner (and winning the cash :mrgreen:)
Iain & Jarro for being gracious in defeat :p

[peter_rs]

Thanks to the guys I played with senecio, Rusty and andylo. Rusty and Senecio were the kings of provisional balls (and hit them so much better) and andylo kept his head in the game after a 8 on our 6th hole... a birdie on the next helped.

Thanks to my caddie for getting me there with minutes to spare.

I was surprised the scores where that bad. I could have shot anything with a short game. The only two up and downs I had all day were from the sand on 1 and from the front on 18 with a gallery, I had 8 bladed chips during the round I crossed a couples twice. On the plus side I hit 10 fairways (6 GIR) but I only used driver once so the new fairway got a work out:( It was a weird day even my irons were off but my putter saved me.

Rusty is getting quick at unpacking his car too;)

[gregh]

well where do i start,
drive in the piss
3rd in the piss
5th hit trees ended up on water edge
6th hit tree deflected back 10 metres into piss
8th into greenside trap
gur took free drop
9th put back into trap
free drop
10th chipped to back of green
3 putted for 13

but i think my 10 on the 9th was worse

[gregh]

shattered

[PeteyD]

I thought my 9 was bad. Started very similar to yours, but the 6th punched up short of the green.

Are you keeping a list of offenders? If so, it's not the only list of offenders that golfer69 has got himself on to.

[markTHEblake]

Ok, seeings as we are telling tragic stories, this one has to be considered play of the day.

on our 17th hole, the 370m 8th, the green surrounded by cavernous bunkers,
1. Nudgee hits a decent drive
2. then leaves his approach shot to the right.
3. attempts the magnificent lob shot (no other option) and gets it a bit heavy, into the bunker, and gets a little cranky with himself. If only he had of known......
4. has a Hitler
5. another go from the bunker, Blades it 70m (measured with google earth) across the green into the previous fairway on that flat section where everyone wants to drive to. how the hell he got out of a 6ft deep bunker with bladed shot i do not know.
6. an almost full pitch with his lob wedge he carries the greenside bunker, then the green, then the other greenside bunker and is virtually in the same spot he was for #3
7. attempts same shot as #3, pulls it of magnificently, leaving a 3 foot putt
8. solid putt - best 8 i have ever seen

Yes mate, i know my triple on the easy par 3 was worse, but it was so pathetic its not even worth telling.

pleased it wasn't just me who had issues with the 8th... My tale of the tape:-

1. Drive down the middle, 130m out.
2. flubbed 8 iron 60m, just short of hazard.
3. hit (what I thought was a perfect) lob wedge and caught the top lip of left bunker.
4. hit ok bunker shot and caught the top lip of left bunker.
5. hit ok bunker shot and caught the top lip of left bunker.
6. hit bad bunker shot and caught the face of left bunker.
7. hit ok bunker shot and finally got out of left bunker, finished 20 feet.
8. lagged close from fringe
9. tap in for 9. (lost the hole to Peteyd's 7 :roll: )

Was there any sand left in the trap BV! :lol:

I too have bad memories of those bunkers but it was the right one for me.

[Iain]

My 8th was

Drive into tree's near driving range
Pitch out, hit tree, bounce back to end up near Jarro's ball
4 iron to short and right about 40m from green
60deg wedge into hole, never looked like missing!! Par!!

I'd like another pitch-in one of these days. Especially if it was for eagle.

1. My 8th was driver right, but safe, leaving me 175+ to the green.
2. I hit 3W since it was into a breeze to an elevated green and missing to the back is safer. I put it into the right trees where the water hazard is.
2B. My provisional with the 7W hit the front of the green and ended up off the back. Who knows where the 3W would have gone if I had have hit it right. :shock:
3. Found the original on the other side of the hazard fortunately. Unfortunately it was sitting down in a hole making it impossible to go at the green with the right bunkers blocking the line. Small punch to 20m short of green was my safe shot.
4. 7I bump and run up to the green and into the hole.

I've always had trouble with the 8th, because it is a long hole for me. I have to approach a well protected green with a long club. It's index 2 or something, isn't it?

poidda had a fun time in the traps like Vegas did.

yes, there was a truckload of sand in there, hence my difficulties.... I'm not the greatest bunker player in the world (obviously) but I go ok at my home course where the sand is pretty shallow.

[peter_rs]

1. fairway wood into the little pocket left but runs under the trees.
2. chip out but not far enough still blocked by the trees.
3. hook a 7 iron around the trees and land on the fringe of the green between the traps
4. Knock my putt 1m past on the up slope.
5. made the return putt.

Its the first time I have not been plugged in the bunkers, and my lowest score ;)

Is Henno talking in the 3rd person now? Iain approves!


Refer to post # 216.
And your still a wanker!!

[just]

The 8th is a doddle
1. Slice drive onto edge of 9th fairway.
2. 5 iron to 50 cm short of little creek crossing 8th and then almost get sconned in the noggin by andylo's drive on the 9th.
3. Pitch onto green
4. sink putt for easy par.

Now the 17th on the other hand, is a **** of a hole.

[PeteyD]

Nah 17 was easy. Rest of the course was crap.

[goonie]

8th hole was one of my few pars
Driver into right rough
iron into front right bunker pin high
bunker shot to a few feet
sink putt for par

poidda got very unlucky, hit from one bunker onto the edge of the green and it ran into the other one, almost like he put top spin on the ball :-) we had another hole where I think poidda managed a magic top spin wedge shot as well.

[markTHEblake]

the 8th hole is a doddle, just knock a mongrel 4 iron into the heart, and lag it up for a tap in.

but that 6th hole is a devil.

[AndyP]

poidda got very unlucky, hit from one bunker onto the edge of the green and it ran into the other one, almost like he put top spin on the ball :-) we had another hole where I think poidda managed a magic top spin wedge shot as well.It was the same hole. When he came out of the second bunker, it hit the green then kicked well forward and off the back of the green.

[Eag's]

I thought you were referring to his impressive 3 wood from the middle of the fairway on the Par 5 3rd :lol:

[poidda]

I was a bout to post in this thread to thank my playing partners, but you can all go get ****ed! ;)

Yes, that 8th was shyte. Plugged in first bunker. Couldn't play it any better to end up in the opposite bunker. Some how managed to play a flipper out of there that Warnie would have been proud of. As for the cold top with the 3-wood. I'm lucky I didn't end up with a black eye. ;)

[BrisVegas]

CCR was 73 for anyone interested.

[AndyP]

FFS, I've been robbed of my +0.1.

Good news for Eag's though.

[BrisVegas]

you were in the "buffer" Andy, so no 0.1 for you.

[AndyP]

Yep, robbed. I'm still a few comp rounds away from 12.

[nuttedit]

8th was the easiest hole all day but i must admit i had to work hard on my foot and half putt for birdie. Unfortunately that was the only time i looked like making birdie all day.

[peter_rs]

No still on 14 AP

[AndyP]

No still on 14 API know, but there's more chance you'll be off 13 than 15 for the match now. ;)
