Willawong range - Wednesday nights from 7:00pm (approx...)

[BrisVegas]

If anyone is interested, Brooky17 and I will be there hitting a few pills. Feel free to drop by for a hit and a chat.

[terryand]

I probably will this week Vegas, seeing as I aren't playing all week :lol:

Terry.

[AndyP]

If this is a regular thing, I'm sure I could make my way down on the odd occasion. 8)

[990B Luva]

i may be there it is only 2 mins in the car :lol:

[Eag's]

How far is it from the North side of Brisbane :?:

[davidp]

How far is it from the North side of Brisbane :?:

Eags, it's near Oxley Golf Course. You're probably looking at 45 minutes from Albany Creek. :shock:

[Eag's]

:-k Might have to come straight from work then :wink:

Can't see why it shouldn't be a regular thing. Wed nights are pretty free for me (until the baby arrives that is....). Hardly ever get to a range otherwise. Most times before ozgolf games, only manage time to roll a few putts, then straight to the tee.

They have a good deal of $50 for 10 x buckets. Can't beat that. Pretty relaxed atmosphere too.

111 Sherbrooke Rd Willawong - (07) 3879 9458. Take the Blunder Road exit off the Ipswich Mway, then left on Inala Road at the big servo. Left at the first roundabout into Sherbrooke Road.

There's actually a shortcut which will save you 5 -10 minutes:

Take the Blunder Road exit, and drive about 1.5 km. Turn left into Bowhill Rd (at the Durack-Inala bowls club). Five minutes down the road is the first right hand turn - Sherbrooke Rd. Take it and Willawong Driving range is 100m on your right.

Easily fixed.

1) Drive fast
2) Don't stop for anything
3) If you break down, pull your knees to your chest and pray that it will be quick and merciful. :shock:

[terryand]

Gotta admit thou that is the way I go.

Interesting drive with the dodgy headlighhts on the wife's car :?

Terry.

[markTHEblake]

whats so scary about it.

[Jarro]

whats so scary about it.

rumour has it a pack of wild mortgage brokers hang out on the side of the road there ... waiting for some poor unfortunate to either stop at a red light or break down ... so these mongrels can mob the victims car and try to sign them to a housing loan they probably don't want :shock:

















:wink:

[terryand]

whats so scary about it.

Its a windy road with no street lights and with poor headlights on the car, it can be an interesting drive.

The road looks like it turns one way, but you onlt see it goes the other way when your right on it.

Terry.

[BrisVegas]

If I don't make it tomorrow night, would you guys send out a search party for me.... :shock:

I'm gonna take a short cut through Inala from Progress Road. Should be a bit quicker than coming all the way in to Blunder Road, then heading back south again. If I get through alive that is.... :wink:

no worries. I'll be there.

I'm heading to the range this week. I even have permission. :)

I need to work on my 3W, as I have been avoiding it for the last few rounds.
There is quite a gap between the Driver and a 22° Hybrid.

Wanted to make it tonight for a solid range session before City GC on Sunday, but the wife has other plans...

The good news is, I get to read bedtime stories. :D

$4.90 a bucket as apposed to $12.90 :-k

I'll have to think long and hard about that one.

Maybe if we can get enough interest and they sell bulk cards,where we could all chip in for the card and use it all up on the night,

By the way, I will be coming along tomorrow night after work seeing as though I will only be about 10 mins away :wink:

[Keza_G]

Anyone know how long the Willawong range is ?

ROC and I are going for a practice tomorrow night and I was thinking of suggesting Willawong to him..... since we can't yet practice at Emerald Lakes... If it's long enough we might come up.... what is at the back of the range ?

Let me know and I'll speak to Mark..... Maybe a little Long drive Clinic is the go...

cheers

Good stuff - fun to try some other clubs. Hit a few bombs with AndyP's big red driver. Hit some even longer bombs with Keza's 48 inch driver. Looking forward to Sunday at City now... :)

[Keza_G]

Thanks guys.....

That was a great session....... it was really good to meet you lot and to put faces to those names.... I hope that I didn't disappoint you all with my Drivers.... I have a bit of a kink in my neck and am slowly working it out, but all in all I was happy with the way I hit.

I am looking forward to Logan to meet even more of you and hope that can bring out some tenacious driving.......

Have been too busy lately. Last weekend I was MC at my brother's wedding and then had family staying over etc. This weekend I've gotta pack. We hope to be moving within the next 2-3 weeks, so gotta make a start on things.

I've got plenty of golf planned for March, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. :wink:

[Eag's]

Pity it was not a little closer, I would need a packed lunch to make it all the way over there :(

[BrisVegas]

Thanks for coming guys. I had a good night, despite not really "finding" anything there golf-wise.

Got to try a few clubs out. Was very impressed with Andylos Adam Ovation 5 wood. That thing defies logic. Everything just came out high and straight, no matter what the contact was like. Cool. 8)

Had a hit with shazza's Cleveland 460 driver. Very nice! Much nicer than Pete's big-handed manly man driver, which i couldn't get off the ground. :oops:

AndyP was making good contact with a half-set of Ravens he was trying out. :wink:

[peter_rs]

So was this the first annual Ozgolf demo night.

Vegas thats my driver shazza uses- My drivers take time to adjust to its due to the shaft (flex and length) not personal choice.

It was a fun night and we should do it again.

[AndyP]

It was good. I didn't get to try that many of others clubs, as I was playing around with my setup/swing a bit.

I wouldn't be able to head to the range every week. But might be able to manage every few weeks.

[BrisVegas]

what the hell... two weeks in a row!

[andylo]

what the hell...  two weeks in a row!

What's wrong with that? I always have 20/30 plus days consecutively....

[BrisVegas]

You're a lucky man Andylo. I enjoy getting to the range, but it's mainly just for the social side of things. Think I'll stick to the synthetic mats this time. I couldn't see a thing out on the grass, too dark.

[peter_rs]

The ropes were a long way out.

[AndyP]

The ropes were a long way out.
I'm never seen them in close (not that I go there often). :smt017

Just confirming that I aml still going tonight.  Should be there around the 7:30p mark.

[BrisVegas]

See you there AndyP. I'm bringing Brooky17 with me.

[peter_rs]

so are you guys going this week?

[BrisVegas]

yep.

[AndyP]

so are you guys going this week?
Probably not, but I wouldn't completely rule it out.
More likely to go to the range this weekend.

[andylo]

yes

[BrisVegas]

Good to see Andylo, Pete, Shazza, Tez and Nudgee there last night.

Thanks for the demo of the 905S Nudgee. I like the shape, nice and traditional. The only 400+ cc drivers I've tried and like so far are now the Cleveland Launcher and the 905S. the only other 905 I've hit is Andylo's but i hit it miles too high. The shaft in his doesn't suit me either.

I hit it back to back with mine a few times and could tell a few things. It felt a little "tinnier" than mine. It also seemed to fly higher and straighter. I'm gonna guess the shaft is playing a touch stiffer than in mine too. Deeper bore-through insertion? I certainly didn't hit any big hooks with it. The only miss I hit was a little fade.

The feel was not what I'm used to, but then i think anything 400+ cc is gonna feel like that. Nudgee's FT3 felt very similar, I thought, but even more "oversize" if you know what I mean. Big drivers still feel a touch hollow to me. My 312cc driver makes more of a crack sound when you hit it and it "sounds" more solid. comes out a bit lower though. higher is better, to a point.

[AndyP]

So.......assuming you get rid of some gear, are you buying it?

[BrisVegas]

Will it be in the bag for this weekend's golf?

unless Nudgee sells it before then, yes.

Weather permitting, I might make an appearance at the range this week.

[shazza_rs]

can't this week.....

something about a 4 year anniversary. :shock:

Terry.

[shazza_rs]

so not the case Tezza! [-X

He wouldn't have access to the credit card if that were the case. :wink:

[senecio]

Weather permitting, I might make an appearance at the range this week.

Andy,

Are you still thinking about going tonight?

Anyone else?

Ryan

Andy,

Ryan
Yeah, just watching the weather radar. It looks a little dodgy.

[AndyP]

Good to see senecio there tonight. Hopefully he can make a couple more OZgolf rounds soon.
A-Lo popped in later on too.

Forgot my video camera, but it was a good range session anyway. May put driver back in the bag for Sunday's round. :-k

[mrsbrisvegas]

KFC and the driving range just won't cut it pete

KFC, the Driving Range aaahhhh the romance!

Sandra.

[peter_rs]

I caved, no driving range last night- even though I wanted it bad :lol: :oops: .


She got flowers and dinner out. I still think the range would have been more fun. romance is expensive :wink:

[mrsbrisvegas]

Romance is alive and well - good on you Peter!

Sandra.

[BrisVegas]

Good to see Nudgee out there last night. I learnt some of my new driver's ho history. Before Nudgee owned it, it was jimmmy's for a week, after buying it from some guy in the USA on ebay. Cool. There should be a register of used clubs I reckon, like they have for adopted children, with some basic biographical info of the original owners, what's been changed etc. Would be funny to see the checkered history of some clubs going around.

Met jimmy last night. Nice guy, flushes the golf ball. 8) :shock:

Tried out some weird and wonderful clubs, incl. Pink Aldila-shafted 7 heaven wood, Sonartec 19, X-Tour irons and X-Tour wedges. The X-Tour irons felt pretty sweet. I was surprised how soft and buttery they felt (even with Project X shafts) compared to previous Callaways I've tried.

Great night for it. I should be there again next week. :)

[peter_rs]

So are people going this week?

[Jarro]

those X-Tours are sweet 'eh Dion 8)

[AndyP]

So are people going this week?
Unlikely for me. I've played enough golf lately to not think about asking for a permission slip. I would have been more of a chance if I wasn't a late callup to play tennis last night.

[BrisVegas]

I won't be there tonight. My brother had a new baby yesterday, so we're going to the hospital tonight to meet her. :)

[AndyP]

There's absolutely no way I am going. The soccer is on. I would have thought you would be watching this for sure, Pete?

[Jarro]

what's it cost for a large bucket of balls out there anyway :?

[AndyP]

what's it cost for a large bucket of balls out there anyway  :?
Bucket costs $4 if you are an AGU member.

[Jarro]

what's it cost for a large bucket of balls out there anyway  :?
Bucket costs $4 if you are an AGU member.

gee that's a good price 8)

much cheaper than Viccy Park :roll:

[peter_rs]

AP... I hope to eat these words.

But the Aussies don't have a chance of wining they don't play with the passion required. I will still watch bits. To score one is a ask two thats another story. :oops:

ps I was not going to the range anyway a bad back, just seeing if anyone else was?

[BrisVegas]

Haven't played for a few weeks, so am thinking about going to the range tomorrow night. Anyone else going?

[AndyP]

Haven't played for a few weeks, so am thinking about going to the range tomorrow night.  Anyone else going?
Very seriously thinking about it. Just have to run it by the boss.

[andylo]

very possible here too

[Iain]

I should be going also tomorrow night, and I will be bringing a digital camera and tripod if anyone want's there swing video'd?

Iain

[andylo]

Thanks in adv unit :)

[Iain]

Thanks in adv unit :)

No worries A-lo, just make sure to bring that 905t along, so I can have a bash..... :wink:

[Iain]

Hey guy's? What's the weather protection like at Willawong range? Are you guys still going? Just want to make sure there is enough protection for the camera?

Iain

[Jarro]

hope you girls don't get too wet tonight.

[terryand]

Its all cleared up this side of town now :smt023

Terry.

[BrisVegas]

Just leaving......... NOW !!! :lol:

[AndyP]

I'm not coming. Haven't eaten yet, and I'm getting heat about spending too much time with golf/OZgolf.
Probably fair enough considering the weekend coming up.

[Trung]

I will be flying to Brisbane on Tuesday next week for 3 days..

Maybe I can meet some of you next week. 8)

[BrisVegas]

you missed a good night AndyP. Iain, Tez, Nudgee and Jimmie were there and Iain was giving free video swing analysis!! Nudgee, as usual, had about 20 exotic clubs and a speedstik to try out. Shame I won't be able to go next week (got one of those market research things to go to).

[BrisVegas]

you missed a good night AndyP.  Iain, Tez, Nudgee and Jimmie were there and Iain was giving free video swing analysis!!  

Hey Iain, I'm still waiting on the free video swing analysis from the other week at Willawong!  :wink:

I'm going on Wednesday night again.  I'll bring that 975F for senecio to have a belt with.

Peter_rs - did you still want me to bring that 4-9 iron set of shovels?? [/b]

[AndyP]

I'm a chance this week, weather permitting. Three weeks off golf before a Brooky round may not be a good idea.

[Jarro]

i might try and get over there this week ...... who's going and what time will you be there till :?:

[BrisVegas]

i might try and get over there this week ...... who's going and what time will you be there till  :?:

I think senecio will be there, along with Peter_rs. I'll be there from after 7 til 9. Often Terry and Nudgee are there, but they don't typically post here.

See you there jarro.

[AndyP]

7:30-ish is when I usually get there, and leave when they are closing up. However, I'm still not confirmed.

[andylo]

I think I might be there too... not sure neither.

[peter_rs]

BV if you bring the irons I will bring the camera for you :wink:

Shazza & I will be there from around 6pm as we both work on the south side at coopers plains now.

[Jarro]

Ok guys ..... hopefully i'll be able to make it, and catch you there tomorrow night 8)

[senecio]

I hope to be there by 7:00pm.

Just depends on what time I get away from work.

Ryan

[Eag's]

I might head over as well, I will see how knackered I am after playing Redcliffe 8)

[Iain]

Hey guy's, I will be there on Wednesday. I will bring the camera, but don't have the tripod atm. If anyone has one they could bring along to use for the night that would be good, otherwise it's not much good without one.

Iain

[nudgee]

hi there,

count me in - I will be there for this one.

Cheers

[Jarro]

hi there,

count me in - I will be there for this one.

Cheers

will you be bringing lots of lovely Tour stuff =P~ 8)

[andylo]

Jamie, hopefully you will have that SQ Tour with you ;)

[senecio]

Hey guy's, I will be there on Wednesday.  I will bring the camera, but don't have the tripod atm.  If anyone has one they could bring along to use for the night that would be good, otherwise it's not much good without one.

Iain

Iain,

I have a tripod for an old SLR camera. I'm not sure if it is the same fitting, but I will bring it along just in case it is.

Ryan

[andylo]

All camera has the same thread size, no matter it's SLR, automatic camera, DC or DV. They are all the same.

[Jarro]

umm, exactly where is this driving range :?: i can't find it in my UBD :smt017

[990B Luva]

even though i live 2 minutes down the road, i cant come cause i start my new job tonight :lol:

[Jarro]

even though i live 2 minutes down the road, i cant come cause i start my new job tonight :lol:

let me guess ... driving instructor :P :lol:

[990B Luva]

na, Pizza Hut call centre :lol:

[Eag's]

Have fun tonight guys, I am totaly stuffed after playing Redcliffe :smt087 so staying home in the aircon 8)

[Jarro]

thanks for the fun hitout tonight guys 8) ... it was kinda like a party/demo day type affair i thought .... hitting just about every club in everybodies bags :roll:

pity it's so bloody far from my place ... i'd do it every wednesday :wink:

[BrisVegas]

yeah, top effort on coming across town jarro! Fun night, lots of interesting new clubs to try out. Best clubs I tried were:-

Jarro's Rescue Mid TP 19
Jarro's(?) R7 3 wood
Shazza's Clevo 460 Comp

Still shocked at how well senecio was flushing blade 3 irons off the deck...

[Jarro]

Ryan was really ripping that 3 iron alright  :shock:  was good to catch up with him again too, it's been  a while.

Are you sure you haven't got room in your bag for at least 1 TaylorMade club Dion  :wink: I thought for sure you were gonna offer me some money for my rescuemid .... you were nailing it quite nicely  8)

What was that other 3 wood that Nudgee brought with him  :?:  ..... the one that had ALo salivating  :lol:  that was a bloody nice 3 wood.

That Rescue Mid TP went great!! Much nicer than my memories of the retail ones... You've actually got me thinking that I don't need a 22 deg hybrid now... I hit yours high enough i think. If you paint it gunmetal grey for me and grind off the Taylor Made logos, i'll give you $95 for it. :lol:

The other 3 wood, no idea what the hell it was. Set up nicely, but I couldn't get it off the ground. Everyone else seemed to like it though. :wink:

[AndyP]

What was that other 3 wood that Nudgee brought with him :?: ..... the one that had ALo salivating :lol: that was a bloody nice 3 wood.
I think you mean A-Lo's 3 wood....
Some Japanese prototype thingy (that's the best you are going to get out of me, I didn't even see it).

[andylo]

Nice HOing nite. We should do it more often :D :lol:

Both me and jarro got something from the OZG Santa (nudgee) The TP wedges looks AWWWWWESOME! Too bad jarro already have his dirty hand on it :lol:

Nice to catch up with the guys and we are grouping together in 3 spots just HOing each others club... while our non-HO admin isolated with Wayne at the other side of the driving range...

well actually AP is trying to help Wayne's swing ;)

It was a great nite. :D

[peter_rs]

BV shazza has a G2 not a comp.

[AndyP]

while our non-HO admin isolated with Wayne at the other side of the driving range...

well actually AP is trying to help Wayne's swing ;)
No, I wasn't. I was just trying to find a spot where you couldn't hear Terry. I failed.

[BrisVegas]

Nice to catch up with the guys and we are grouping together in 3 spots just HOing each others club... while our non-HO admin isolated with Wayne at the other side of the driving range...

Sorry I didn't hang out with you much last night AndyP. It's just too dark out there on the grass for me, can't see anything. No chairs either for my fat, lazy arse. I could happily have just sat back and watched everyone else hit/demo last night.

Great group of people we've got going now, very relaxed atmosphere. Had to laugh at Terry trying to outdo Pete with the LD antics. :lol:

I think next time we should move a bit further along the range, as we were getting a bit loud and disrupting the rest of the "serious" golfers!

[peter_rs]

Terry.... I'm still waiting to see that low driver :wink:

[Jarro]

I think next time we should move a bit further along the range, as we were getting a bit loud and disrupting the rest of the "serious" golfers!

i agree.

that senecio was getting wayyyyyyy too loud :roll: :lol:

[BrisVegas]

Terry.... I'm still waiting to see that low driver :wink:

yeah me too! All I saw was high cuts.... :lol: :wink:

[AndyP]

Nice to catch up with the guys and we are grouping together in 3 spots just HOing each others club... while our non-HO admin isolated with Wayne at the other side of the driving range...

Sorry I didn't hang out with you much last night AndyP.  It's just too dark out there on the grass for me, can't see anything.  No chairs either for my fat, lazy bum.  I could happily have just sat back and watched everyone else hit/demo last night.
No need to apologise.  I was the one that moved out there.

As I rarely go to the range, I wanted to make the most of it, and I felt that the mat that I was initially on was shithouse.  The shots just didn't feel right.  
So I got a little short game praccy in on the green and then some hits off the grass.

I wanted to get back over there to muck around with you guys, but the time just got away from us unfortunately.

[990B Luva]

whos going next week, i should be able to make it

[BrisVegas]

whos going next week, i should be able to make it

at this rate I won't have any clubs left in the bag by next week.... Still, if there are others interested, Ill come along and join the party. :)

[senecio]

i agree.

that senecio was getting wayyyyyyy too loud  :roll:  :lol:

Sorry Jarro,

I'll take a couple of pills next time. It might help me to tone it down a little to your level. :)

Ryan

[senecio]

Still shocked at how well senecio was flushing blade 3 irons off the deck...

Dion,

Those irons of your's feel sweet. Its hard to admit this, coming from another Titleist man, but I would be looking at replacing your irons with the new version of the same club.

Pete,

Your S59's are a great feeling club. What shaft is in them?

Ryan

[BrisVegas]

Dion,

Those irons of your's feel sweet. Its hard to admit this, coming from another Titleist man, but I would be looking at replacing your irons with the new version of the same club.

My offer still stands... :wink:

OK AP, hint taken I won't come anymore :smt086

Terry.

[peter_rs]

Ryan,

They are the ping cs lite stiff.

eg a DG SL s300.

[BrisVegas]

anyone going tonight?? I'm a chance.

[AndyP]

anyone going tonight??
Not this week, as I will be away from the boy all weekend.

I paid a visit to the range on Saturday though, while it was nice and hot, and smoke was blowing through from a house across the road.

[terryand]

Cool if AP is not going I can go and be as loud as I like :twisted:

Terry.

[Jarro]

take your brolly boys :wink:

http://mirror.bom.gov.au/radar/IDR503.20060118072400.gif

[peter_rs]

[BrisVegas]

Tezza - you got any pics from last night??

I'm in the mood for chicken wings! :lol:

[terryand]

Still on ther camera,will post em tonight.

Terry.

[peter_rs]

:roll: :lol: ..... chicken

[BrisVegas]

i should be there again this week and bringing my neighbour from over the road.

Ho alert - he's looking for new clubs! :lol:

[senecio]

Hopefully,

I'll see you there Dion.

Ryan

[shazza_rs]

sorry getting tanked at the local pub tonight :lol:

[BrisVegas]

I'll see you there Dion.

Good to see you again Ryan. Oh and thanks to you and Nudgee for the coaching. I got a new sense of purpose now. :wink:

See y'all next Wednesday.

[AndyP]

I'm keen for next Wednesday. Need to hit some balls before my big round at Nambour.

[BrisVegas]

hope to see you there Andy.

[senecio]

I'm going to try and make it this Wednesday.

It'll be my last chance for a while, I have a TAFE course starting on the 15th that will run until May.

Ryan

[BrisVegas]

Sorry guys, I won't be there tonight, going to Tez's to pull some shafts.

[AndyP]

If there is a few people going, I'll still go. I don't want to do too much practice, as I was happy with how I was hitting it on Sunday. So I won't hide off in the corner like I did last time.

Actually, I might ask Wayne if he is interested again.

[Jarro]

have fun ladies ... you wont see me there again.

took me nearly 1.5 hours to get home last time :evil:

[AndyP]

took me nearly 1.5 hours to get home last time :evil:
Why? Did you go via Beaudesert?

[Jarro]

no, just obeyed the speed limit, stopped for fuel ... the usual stuff

[senecio]

I'm going to give it a miss tonight as well.

Just got home and don't really feel like going straight back out again.

Ryan

[AndyP]

There was some discussion about this on Sunday at Gailes.

Who's going?

[andylo]

I may be not sure

[BrisVegas]

I plan to be there. Got a new homestay student to square away at dinner etc. but hopefully I can still get there by 7:30-ish... I was keen to see Terry's flashy camera in action.

[AndyP]

If it's raining, I'll wuss out.
I'll play in it, but I won't "practice" in it.

[Jarro]

looking like a wet night out boys, take your thermus and brollies

[terryand]

Unfortunately I’m out of Wednesday nights at the range till June as of tonight :smt009

Jo has started uni this week and doesn’t finish until 8ish on Wednesdays. Sorry guys, I was keen to try out the multi flash sync shots on you.

Terry.

Terry.

bugger. didn't see this until too late. Oh well. Was a good night anyway. Rain only interfered for about 10 minutes. Andy1 & 2 turned up later in the evening too.

Any preference Terry for a new night??? Tues or Thurs??

[AndyP]

Thursday vote from me, if we change it.

Thanks for fixing my setup posture, BV......again.

[Iain]

Anyone going to the range tonight??

[andylo]

Love to but misus want to do badminton :cry:

[Iain]

Hey Andy, you'd better get something to cover that thumbprint on your forehead.

It's getting a bit big..... :p

[terryand]

Love to but misus want to do badminton :cry:

:smt079 :smt079 :smt079

[AndyP]

I'm in pencil for this one. With Mitchell sick and the computer stuffed, I'm not sure I'll get out of the house tonight.

[Jarro]

good onya Alo, i'd rather spend the night with CLo than with this rabble :p

[AndyP]

What happened to changing the night for this, so Tez could come down and take some sequence pics?

[Iain]

good onya Alo, i'd rather spend the night with CLo than with this rabble :p
Can you pm when you actually contribute something worthwhile to the forum??

I'd like to see if you do!! :roll:

[Iain]

No idea??

[Jarro]

Can you pm when you actually contribute something worthwhile to the forum??

I'd like to see if you do!! :roll:

can't.

i'm too busy plowing through the gems that you post ...... 1 every 6 months or so.

[BrisVegas]

Anyone going to the range tonight??

Yeah I can get there I think. Are you going Iain? What about you AndyP?

I hadn't heard from nudgee, was hoping he might bring along some of his latest toys to show off.

pete/shazza??

[Eag's]

Damn! wish Willawong was about 20k's closer :(

[peter_rs]

I went but didn't see anyone. Did anyone go?

[BrisVegas]

nope. nobody spoke up, so i didn't bother.

Terry's gone, this thing's gone to hell....

[BrisVegas]

I'm there tonight. anyone else?

[AndyP]

Nah, I was out sporting last night, so it's a night at home for me.

Will try and go this weekend instead.

[andylo]

bloody badminton again tonite... will go to Vic Park for a quik practise this arvo instead

[BrisVegas]

Nudgee - you still planning to go? I'm only going to catch up with you and try out that driver of yours. I'll give it a miss otherwise...

[brad]

bloody badminton again tonite... will go to Vic Park for a quik practise this arvo instead

While you are trying to get Clo into Golf, it seems she i getting you into Badminton :) Who is going to win ? :mrgreen:

[andylo]

While you are trying to get Clo into Golf, it seems she i getting you into Badminton :) Who is going to win ? :mrgreen:

Well I am also the one who bring her into badminton... as well as tennis, table tennis and alikes....

But then again I "mis-calculated" that she would interest in tennis the most, the table tennis and badminton, then golf :roll:

Maybe she's not old enough :roll:

[AndyP]

Let me get this straight.
You said Christine gets tired after walking for 1.5 holes in golf, yet she is interested in tennis the most.
Do you just hit the balls straight to her so she doesn't have to run?

[andylo]

Oh you gotta see how I make her run and scream at her when she's not :lol:

I think its different. To me as well, I enjoy running around in a tennis/badminton court but carrying some thing on the back walking is totally different story to me.

[nudgee]

BV - I am going tonight

See you there

[Jarro]

what new toys will you have on hand Javier ????

is it worth the 2 hour round trip ;)

[andylo]

Crap... Jamie, what time you will appear? I would risk my neck for you(r new toys)

[BrisVegas]

BV - I am going tonight

See you there

cool mate, thanks. See you there.

[andylo]

Why tease yourself A-Lo, you know SHE won't let you buy anything :mrgreen:

She would... she's not as tough as other fellas missus on board. But then again I have the self control to stop myself set on my bag.

But looking doesn't hurt ;)
