Jan 17, 7:30am, Kwinana GC, The WA Summer Cup: wrap up

[adlo]

Gents,

Veefore and I are going to play our match on the 17th of Jan.

We are thinking early at Kwinana.

Do any other golfers want to join us? Or play any of their 1st round matches?

Join the list....

1. Don Jaoquin Adlo, organiser extroadinaire, creating a WA OzGolf legacy. 2010 will be remembered for years to come....
2. Veefore, unknown quantity. Tainted by being a brown cardy wearer. Looking for redemption and his first matchplay scalp. Niggling injuries messing with his mind (or is it the matchplay pressure?)
3. Yossarian, WA's undisputed gheyest OzGolfer. Will be searching for a wardrobe in the clubhouse if he loses his match.
4. SeldomEagles, has been known to miss OzGolf days with petty excuses. Participating in the battle of the bandits.
5. Pieface, resident bandit, giant fweak. Handicap is dropping faster than a TourFat helicoptered TP Mills.
6. idgolfguy, will be out of his depth putting on decent greens after practicing on The Vines so called "greens"
7. NUFFIETHEGOLFMAN, longest name in the history of OzGolf, will surely employ the "talk to the death" strategy in his match.
8. Golfnut, pussy whipped lowballing machine.
9. MegaWatty, HarveyNormal- WAs biggest ho, likes to blame the rest of us (WAnker)
10. Johnny Canuck, the man to beat, always a factor, cwazy competitor (pencil, pen if we keep numbers to 16)
11. Bruce Dickinson, dark horse and Kwinana newbie, hopefully arrives in something less formal than last time he was spotted.
12. Baldy, complete unknown. If his username is anything to go by, will fit right in with idgolfguy :mrgreen:
13. TopDog, man of few words. Means business on the golf course, until someone tells him he is scoring well.
14. Zeusgolfer, has the game to win this thing, putter willing on the slick Kwinana greens (pencil)
15. simmsy, the old man has begged and pleaded for the leave pass, please note: no umbrellas allowed.
16. TourQuit, reported scratching, but who else will he be able to talk to on the 17th? May be the gheyest excuse ever (even worse than Adlo's). He obviously wants Yossarian's ghey title and wrastling trophy. I'm back BABY! (http://www.entertonement.com/clips/bgfkfzrlqf--I'm-back-baby-George's-Answering-Machine-Frank-Costanza)

Cleaned up by 2 boys who didn't feature in the scoring!

[Yossarian]

Pencil for me.

[Veefore]

Actually Adlo, it is the course that I started playing at. I think that I may have broken 100 there once and have been told that they have made some changes since then.
I think it may be a case of remembering it with rose coloured glasses. If anyone has a better suggestion (except The Cut. I really dislike that course) feel free.

[idgolfguy]

Short course. I may be interested. Will know closer to the date.

[Johnny Canuck]

Aldo 4 & 3.

[adlo]

Thanks for the vote of confidence JC.

Veefore, I was just joking. I'd be just as happy to humiliate you around your home track 8)

Course options for a Sunday: Kennedy Bay, Secret Harbour, Marangaroo, Meadow Springs, Wembley, Kwinana (?)

[Johnny Canuck]

Meadow will cost about $70. Over priced.

[adlo]

I agree.

[Veefore]

Thanks for the vote of confidence JC.

Veefore, I was just joking. I'd be just as happy to humiliate you around your home track 8)

Course options for a Sunday: Kennedy Bay, Secret Harbour, Marangaroo, Meadow Springs, Wembley, Kwinana (?)

Wembley would be OK. I've only played there a few times but really like it. Hammersley too. I've played plenty of Pennant matches at Kwinana and lost every one so that would be Ok too. I'm due for a change of luck there.

[Pieface]

Don't play at Adlo's home track, Wembley, Veefore! Marangaroo is the closest course to me so I'll play for sure! Marangaroo should see some good scores posted.

[idgolfguy]

Might see if Nuffie would be able to play our match here too. I've lost 2 strokes in 2 weeks. My handicap buffer is dissipating. If I wait much longer, he may be only giving me 3 or four strokes rather than 7 or 8.

[SeldomEagles]

Pencil for me.

Yoss you wanna win your first round match on the same day?

[Yossarian]

If you can make it mate, I can make it so I can make it and we can do this thang.

[Jarro]

Go Veefore !!

[Golfnut]

3. Yoss (pencil) :shock::shock::shock:

Surely your not working on that day mate.....:mrgreen:

[Golfnut]

You guys thinking of an early tee off???
(I mean 7am or earlier???)

[idgolfguy]

Early would suit me too!

[Yossarian]

3. Yoss (pencil) :shock::shock::shock:

Surely your not working on that day mate.....:mrgreen:

New job pending. And I need to stop playing so much. My new years resolution. :mrgreen:

[simmsy]

New job pending. And I need to stop playing with myself somuch. My new years resolution. :mrgreen:

Couldn't agree with you more, it's embarrassing on the course when you do that.

[adlo]

Early sounds good to me, not sure what Veefore is thinking...

[simmsy]

Early sounds good to me, not sure what Veefore is thinking...


since when?

[adlo]

Since never, I hate playing early. However, on the weekend it helps you do other things with your day, so I will make the sacrifice!

[Pieface]

Early rules especially in the hot weather!

[Veefore]

Early sounds good to me, not sure what Veefore is thinking when he joined this forum...

There. Fixed.

Morning is fine. Around 8ish suits me as it is a fairly long hike to Marangaroo.

[adlo]

:lol: You love this place!

Where do you live V?

Marangaroo is not set in stone.

[Veefore]

:lol: You love this place!

Where do you live V?

Marangaroo is not set in stone.

I'm in Stratton. Everything (except hartfield and hillview) is a long way from here!:)

[adlo]

Bugger. OK, lets pencil this sucker in as Marangaroo, 8am, Sunday the 17th and see who is keen to play.

A few names in pencil, who is in?

[Pieface]

Marangaroo will make you blokes look good I reckon we'll have a few over 40 points in stableford scoring.

Veefore has to give Adlo 5 shots...might give the fweak a look in as it's hard to find much trouble around there. Birds required to win holes I'd think...

[adlo]

I have only played there once, when I started playing golf. I know it is short, but from memory there are a heap of trees which swallow wayward tee shots. Is my memory right or wrong?

Plus, most public courses should see 40+ points, as they typically rate 3-4 shots easier than members tracks.

[Pieface]

There are trees but you often can advance the ball quite well. A bit like Wembley in that regard.

I can only really think of a couple of dead ball zones off the top of my head and they take a pretty rank shot to find. Unfortunately I manage to find them somewhat regularly :lol:

[adlo]

You have the gift!!

[Yossarian]

Yeah lock it in eddy. SE and I shall attempt to do our matchplay to.

[adlo]

Edit: 2 matches on display on the 17th

Any others??

[TourFit]

Nah...I might try and arrange my Matchplay game vs Golfnut at Lake Karrinyup.

I wanna see if he tries to lowball them about the green fee!!! :razz: (actually, I'm more interested in THEIR reaction, and how long it'll take to eject him!)

[Pieface]

You have the gift!!

You call it a gift...I call it:


http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/Videlion/golf/the_shining1edit.jpg

and believe me it does just about put me in a homicidal rage :lol:

[SeldomEagles]

Oh great keeper of the thread can you upgrade me from pencil to biro Yoss and I are gonna get this thing done.

[MegaWatty]

I'm a no lads...But to keep with tradition...

http://www.graveyardgraphics.com/big%20red%20X%201.JPG

[adlo]

iTree, any word on Nuffie?

Golfnut, how is 8am for you?

Would like to get 6-8 definites so we can book 2 groups.

[idgolfguy]

iTree, any word on Nuffie?

Golfnut, how is 8am for you?

Would like to get 6-8 definites so we can book 2 groups.
Pencil Nuffie in please.

[adlo]

Done and done.

[idgolfguy]

Nuffie and I are in pen.

[adlo]

Excellent!

[SeldomEagles]

Biro Frenzyyyyyyyyyyy

[Golfnut]

Looks like I may be away down south that week/weekend but may be back in time so very faint HB pencil is fine for me here.

[adlo]

No worries lowballzzz.

3 matches on one day is quite a success.

[adlo]

The venue for this matchplay extravaganza was brought in to question today. I think there is a movement to push for a better quality course.

Kwinana anyone?

[Golfnut]

That will work even better for me Adlo if I'm a go for this.....if TF's in for this so we can get our matchplay round sorted, then I'll commence the appropriate grovelling ;)

[adlo]

Kwinana will also be tee time dependent, I'll need to see what times they allow 3 groups of blow ins to tee off.

[Golfnut]

6am shouldn't be a problem from memory....

[adlo]

Might be an issue for Veefore that early. And for my sanity.

[Golfnut]

Does he do shift work or something?

[MegaWatty]

I MIGHT be a chance of an early tee time.

[SeldomEagles]

I can't do Kwinana at 6 am. 8 at Marangaroo was going to be a stretch so if Marangaroo falls over I'll have to reschedule with the Yossinator

[adlo]

SE, what times can you do?

The match play rounds take priority.

Golfnut, Veefore lives in South Geraldton.

[MegaWatty]

oops! Wrong thread. Carry on!

[Golfnut]

Golfnut, Veefore lives in South Geraldton.

Meaning??? Two Rocks???

[SeldomEagles]

The earliest I could do Kwinana would be 7-7:30, it isn't a travel thing it's a work thing

[adlo]

Meaning??? Two Rocks???
Stratton I think.

The earliest I could do Kwinana would be 7-7:30, it isn't a travel thing it's a work thing

There is no way I am playing earlier than that anyway 8-)

[Golfnut]

I was pulling the p!ss a bit with the 6am tee off but I'm sure that would mean a good chance of getting on at Kwinana.......7am could still work.

[Golfnut]

There is no way I am playing earlier than that anyway 8-)

Why Adz?

[adlo]

Because I would lose the first 5 holes on account of tiredness. Early morning golf does not bring out the best in me.

[Golfnut]

It's called 'Go to bed early and get up early' beat the heat and all that......

My brother and I played a couple of rounds on Sat and Sun morning last weekend at 5am, I know what you mean about the tiredness factor but its so much cooler, no holdups on holes, less flies, better halves are happier etc.....

I am sensing this is the major factor :mrgreen:

I agree with you Golfnut, just can't handle the really early starts.

[MegaWatty]

I've got a plan for this.

Early game. Work. Get a babysitter and get the Mrs out for a gig (one of the old blokes from work).

Consider me good for my first Kwinana round. As long as it's early!

[Golfnut]

I am sensing this is the major factor :mrgreen:

I agree with you Golfnut, just can't handle the really early starts.

Your dead right mate :mrgreen:.....weekend golf for me has to be early especially on a Sunday (Family Day), weekday golf has to be done and dusted in normal work hours so it doesn't impact the feeding, bathing, Book reading rituals for the kids.....hence the no go today for the Vines.

Sounds like a plan. What time can you do? I will pencil you in.

Understood Golfnut. All legitimate reasons. However, I will continue to give you shit.

[MegaWatty]

As early ad possible. 7 sounds early, but good. It'll be a rude exit though.

[adlo]

OK, see what Veefore says.

[Veefore]

I have never won a (pennants) match at Kwinana. Why the hell would I want to play a match there?

[Veefore]

2010 - The year of change.

I'm in for Kwinana! :D

[adlo]

Cool, the very fact you play pennants has me worried.

I'll call Kwinana to see what the deal is with times.

[Yossarian]

My vote is for not TOO early as well. I like my sleep.

[Johnny Canuck]

I love the way that GN will not show up regardless, yet he is trying to influence the tee off time more than anyone.

[adlo]

:lol:

[Golfnut]

I love the way that GN will not show up regardless, yet he is trying to influence the tee off time more than anyone.

Hey I had no part in the change to the Vines tee time yesterday :twisted:

And BTW, change me to pen bitches.

IN YOUR FACE JC

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x165/BXT007/InYourFaceLarge.jpg

[Golfnut]

TF are you in???

[idgolfguy]

Nuffie and I should be able to get our match at Kwinana too.

[TourFit]

TF are you in???

Yeah, I think I'll be able to make it LowballNut.

Pencil for TourShit...

[Nuffie]

Might see if Nuffie would be able to play our match here too. I've lost 2 strokes in 2 weeks. My handicap buffer is dissipating. If I wait much longer, he may be only giving me 3 or four strokes rather than 7 or 8.

I agree with you totally on this one idgolfguy.

Kwinana is arguably one of WA's most underrated courses and so I've rated it either 4 or 4.5 stars from memory out of 5.

It is quite long (~6.3 km) and very undulative - it would be a great test of golf for our first round match. I lost there this year to their #1 player 3/2 (A 4-handicapper named Connor from Kwinana) in Div. 5 pennants, mainly because I found the course very long, so ended up with bogies all over my card. But we should get more run off the tee now at this time of year leaving shorter shots in and hopefully will help us score easier. Greens have been fantastic there all 4 times I've been there so far.

[Nuffie]

Nuffie and I should be able to get our match at Kwinana too.

I might try talk to the club captain of Kwinana. We met him after our pennants round there this year, and said if I wanted to go back, he'd get us on at a reasonable price. I might just ask him the question to see if we can get some sort of a "group" deal courtesy of my "Hartfield" connection :)

[adlo]

Great story, HanselTHEGOLFMAN.

[adlo]

We are booked, 3 groups from 7:30am, Sunday Jan 17, booking is under "Adam".

Nuff, from memory it is pretty cheap anyways ($30 or so). If you think you can do better, let us know. But I wouldn't stress.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Pencil me in, I've never played Kwinana

[adlo]

Great stuff BD, you are always a welcome addition.

[Yossarian]

Looking forward to it, SE you are still in ya?

[idgolfguy]

There's could be four maybe five matches on at the same time or more if Topdog and Zeus make it. We'd have the first round done.

[Golfnut]

Nuff, from memory it is pretty cheap anyways ($30 or so). If you think you can do better, let us know. But I wouldn't stress.

Unfortunately its a bit more than that Adz....actually their green fee structure is b!oody stupid:

http://www.kwinanagolfclub.com.au/guests/proshop.mhtml

It's $10 more to go from 9 -18 during the week but $18 extra on the weekends.....go figure

I think last time simmsy had some discount vouchers so we payed around $25 from memory which was dirt cheap for such a good track.

[adlo]

Oh simmsy had vouchers, did he?!?! That was nice of him!!!!! I think you'll find Adlo was the main who saved you pennies last time.

I don't have the 2010 voucher book. If anyone does, bring it, we save 25%, ie $30ea.

[SeldomEagles]

Looking forward to it, SE you are still in ya?

Yes sireee Buff Yossinator.

Never played the track before but hey it's got trees, rough and ends with a stick with a flag so all good

[adlo]

Similar to Hartfield, just much more undulation.

[Golfnut]

Sorry Adlo :oops: I knew it was either you or simmsy.

What's the voucher books worth.....could be a good investment for our group seeing how the monthly get together game is turning into 2 or 3 a month.

[Veefore]

http://www.kwinanagolfclub.com.au/guests/course.mhtml

has a good overview of the course.

Supply and demand. They don't want lowballers taking up weekend spots from people prepared to pay full price.

[adlo]

I spoke to TourSpat today, he is pretty certain for this thing.

Pieface, will you still play with the venue change?

I am trying to work out how we will arrange the groupings. Currently have 4 matches being played and 3 solo Ozgolfers. There will be one match per group plus one 4ball will be 2 matches. I will arrange groupings strategically to avoid a long day on the course!

Also of note, SE had another big chop on the handicap. Should make things interesting.

[baldy]

Hey guys, any chance of a numpty like me joining in or is it a bit late? =P~

[adlo]

No probs baldy, I throw you in the list.

[baldy]

Excellent. 8-)
Cheers

[adlo]

Hmmm..... only 4 golfers short of a major......

Anyone else?

[Topdog]

Book the dog in for this one.

Would be good to play Bruce in our match play as well.

cheers,

Phil

[Golfnut]

Good to hear TD.

3 to go.

[adlo]

Topdog, good news.....

Boys can we muster another 3 golfers?

Also, can those in pencil let me know how they are placed. I currently have 3 groups booked, I'll have to get a 4th group booked if we are not careful!

[MegaWatty]

If we had a major, we'd have to drop the matches. I know it can still work, but it's not in the matchplay spirit to have to hole out every time.

[adlo]

It's against the spirit of the 1st WA major for you to point that out.

[MegaWatty]

LOL. Just gives everyone a reason to get together again before end of Feb.

Major has to rule over matchplay games! Fire it up! The WA Summer Cup is only two weeks away!!!

[adlo]

We'll see how the numbers go......

[MegaWatty]

Linkslover. Simmsy. Who else?

[adlo]

Johnny Canuck, Zeusgolfer, Qbnchopper......

[MegaWatty]

Hmmmm. 3 from 5. Let's see.

[adlo]

Bergsey.....

[adlo]

Also, is 69er in WA around this weekend?

[Yossarian]

69er is playing with blue balls??

[Pieface]

7.30am Tee time - Awesome! 5 minute drive turning into 40 minute drive...not so awesome. Still I'm a rugged character - pen me!

Kwinana destroyed me when I played there so I'm glad my match is done and dusted! Definitely a nicer track than Marangaroo.

[Zeusgolf]

Pencil me in with a dark HB.......

If? my house settles that weekend I'll have to get back to you.....

[idgolfguy]

Pencil me in with a dark HB.......

If? my house settles that weekend I'll have to get back to you.....

Success is not too far from Kwinana and we can pitch in to move stuff to Morley after the round on the way back.

[Zeusgolf]

Its more packing the house up and keeping the other half happy

[adlo]

Cool, you are in.

[MegaWatty]

And another match if it's not a major...

[Golfnut]

7.30am Tee time - Awesome! 5 minute drive turning into 40 minute drive...not so awesome. Still I'm a rugged character - pen me!

Ha...Kwinana destroys me everytime mate so don't feel bad...especially when the fweaks want to play off the back tees :smt087 But it's a lot of fun.

Will have to take it more seriously this time though if I want any chance of taking out Tourfart. :lol:

[adlo]

We'll be off the members tees!

[Yossarian]

Werd. Par 5's in 3 people.

[Golfnut]

:cry:

[adlo]

Man up!

The Burners should be safely up at TourFat Central tomorrow PM Golfnut.

[Yossarian]

You wouldn't be getting home in two anyway really. They play loooooooooooooong.

[Golfnut]

Man up!

Don't you worry I'll make sure I eat an extra couple a Weetbix that morning.



The Burners should be safely up at TourFat Central tomorrow PM Golfnut.

Excellent......spoken to 'His Fatness' earlier today to do the swap out on Thursday. Are you definitely going to keep the 4h Burner?

[Bruce Dickinson]

You wouldn't be getting home in two anyway really. They play loooooooooooooong.
how long is long???

[Yossarian]

how long is long???


http://i45.tinypic.com/28jcb8.jpg

How long? Not Long.

But to answer your question, pretty damn long.

[adlo]

Bruce, you'd be a chance for getting home in 2.

They play all of their 500m+ on kikiyu and often into the wind.

Edit: Golfnut, not 100% sure.

[Golfnut]

Edit: Golfnut, not 100% sure.

Ok, going to put the Javln in to my 3h for now....hitting my 4h ok with the Rifle shaft in it.....but i'll save that for a different thread.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Bruce, you'd be a chance for getting home in 2.

They play all of their 500m+ on kikiyu and often into the wind.

Edit: Golfnut, not 100% sure.
so they play long then :lol:

[adlo]

Mainly 9 & 18. We couldn't get home in 2 in the holden scramble with 2 absolute flushed shots from long hitters.

Did the colours just change? Or are my eyes broken?

[Golfnut]

Colours ok here..... could be broken eyes...... that's the cue to switch off this blasted thing and go to bed....got a 5am start tomoz :(

[adlo]

Golfnut, are you hinting at the fact you'd like to try my 4H as is?

[simmsy]

Pencil me in with a very firm, probably maybe almost definately without a doubt unless something major hits the fan!!:D

[MegaWatty]

One to go. I'm pretty much in the same boat as Simmsy. A very good strong pencil. With heaps of quality lead. ;)

[idgolfguy]

Bergsey can you make the 16th Ozgolfer?

[Johnny Canuck]

I could be a possibility. However, it would suck if one person dropped and we lost major status.

[simmsy]

If we make this a summer major, will the MP still go ahead.
me thinks it should as all this started as a MP date, and has possibly morphed into what it is.

c'mon JC, it's not a major without you!

i'ts like winning the masters without Tiger in the field:lol:

[idgolfguy]

I'm still happy to play the MP even if it is a major.

[Johnny Canuck]

i think it is crap for all those playing match play as they are two totally different games.

if your opponent is in trouble, you may play safe in match play vs. how you would normally play the hole in a stableford event.

as i am not playing my match, i don't really care.

[TourFit]

But if you turn up...and Pieface is already there...why wouldn't you?

[Johnny Canuck]

I don't mix the two games.

[Veefore]

I'm in it for the matchplay. That will be my first priority. I can record a stroke score if necessary as I pretty much play the same way no matter what the format. I always play for my best score on a hole regardless of what my opponent is doing.

[Pieface]

JC needs time for my H/cap to come in a bit :lol:

I'm happy to leave round 2 a little longer and enjoy watching the other MPers stress a bit haha.

[bergsey]

Bergsey can you make the 16th Ozgolfer?

Will be babysitting unfortunately

[adlo]

I know there is dispute about the matchplay vs major.

I am of the same opinion as Veefore.

I don't want to can the matches, as this will host the majority of round 1 matches and it was the reason this got started.

However, as I know the Qld boys do, they play matchplay at their major events. We are stupidly close to having 16 starters, and I think it would be great to make a major out of this. We could get 4 majors in 2010. That would be a huge achievement for the WA crew. Heck, it'll be a huge achievement for world golf.

I'm cool with that!

[Pieface]

The matchplay should get priority...

I thought the talk of a major was more of an impromptu thing spurred on by getting close to the numbers...which we still don't have.

[adlo]

Exactly Pieface!

See you soon MW!

[Johnny Canuck]

As I said, I have no probs, as long as I am not playing my match.

I would have to use two entirely different strategies when playing against the course and playing against a guy that I have to give a ton of strokes to.

I'll test the waters tonight.

[simmsy]

IF i hadn't of been bundled out the other week by Pieface and we were playing our matchplay on the 17th I would be asking to keep it as a mp. I agree with JC in that most guys would play different strategies in the two formats. I'm happy to go with it either way as it doesn't effect me.

[adlo]

OK, I have talked to the Cwazy Canadian. He is going to test the waters, but he has also said he cannot miss the inaugural WA major, so he is in.

Can all the golfers in pencil (except Zeus- I know why he is in pencil) please let me know if you are playing.

I have modified the booking at Kwinana for 4 groups, still off the tee at 7:30am.

[simmsy]

adz, i have begged and pleaded to play on the 17th and the director has given me the go ahead providing the kids are behaving themselves. 2 kids teething (man it sucks!)
So i'm in as much as i can be mate.


On a side note - just spoke with mandurah c.c they can book us in on sundays for a major later in the year no problem. so maybe a major just before they core in Oct/Nov??

[adlo]

Ah, forgot about coring. Maybe the very end of the year would be better when the greens have recovered. Big Brother (AndyP) has asked for us to avoid scheduling any major events around the champs, so we'll wait to see what the Qld dates are. Shouldn't be a problem, we'll work something out. I am keen to play MCC again!

Cheers for the update.

[Bruce Dickinson]

I'm in, travel arrangements modified and this will be the only game played in January

[adlo]

Ouch!

Cheers BD, hope you play well.

[MegaWatty]

You're gonna be upset in a minute!

[Yossarian]

Tourfit is a great big girl!

:shock:

My apologies MW.

[adlo]

What?!?

[Pieface]

If you want to lift this thing over the line Aldo I think the OP needs some love. Think about TF's blinder for Mt Lawley!

[MegaWatty]

I'm in....someones out though!

[adlo]

Good point Pieface, this thing has grown bigger than I ever expected. I'll get onto it.

I put the work in on the Matchplay OP.

MW, is TourFat out?

[MegaWatty]

Looks like it!

[adlo]

Rowdy Roddy TourF*ck!!

[MegaWatty]

And my head is seriously hurting.

[adlo]

:smt046

[Pieface]

Is Talkfit's Mrs deaf?

[TourFit]

Jeez MW...quick to rat a mate out aren't you :razz:

Yes...it's official. I'M OUT (for the moment).

Not even out fairly either. Wife received invite yesterday to a friend's baby shower!!! And I've been in the Kwinana list for how long???

I may be back in soon though...it'll take time to work on her :mrgreen:

[Johnny Canuck]

TourQuit

[adlo]

Shit, now that is a LAME excuse Rowdy Roddy TourF*ck.

[Topdog]

Never mind a pencil for me use a sharpie.

Looking forward to the match play and shots off Bruce.

17th will be one of them and the 7th i think.

17th is one off the longest and hardest par 4's I have ever played (up hill dogleg right to left , to a small green).

[Pieface]

TourQuit

I wonder if this guy and NoNuts will ever get their matchplay done :twisted:

[Yossarian]

Undisputed gheyest golfer... Just cause I have some fashion sense. geez.

If it is a major, I am in pen.

If not, I am in pencil.

Just tell him how many stableford points he has after 9 holes and watch him crumble :mrgreen:

OP much improved :mrgreen:

Understood. This will be a major. 15 definites. We'll find 16 (or TourFit will talk to his wife until she goes deaf and her head is about to explode and then she will give in).

[TourFit]

TourFit will talk to his wife until she goes deaf and her head is about to explode and then she will give in.

Exactly...how d'ya know my strategy so well. And how come after 15 years together she never sees that strategy comin' :mrgreen:

So pull yer brand new Ashworth Herring Bone Stripey pants outta yer ever tightening arse crack, relax the sphincter, and let me go to work on her.

"I'll be back !!"

[adlo]

Cool, as long as no one takes the 16th spot first :mrgreen:

[TourFit]

TourQuit

:smt038

Another one...quite a growing list!!

It's mainly because you mentioned KB Sat arvo you know !!!!

[adlo]

OP updated

[TourFit]

Despite all the rumours, I am not afraid of playing Golfnut...

Not a reported scratching, a DEFINATE scratching...take me OFF THE LIST !!!

:cry:
:cry:
:cry:

Then I can be "reborn"...and re-added to the list

16. TourFit - The final heroic piece of the Major puzzle (appropriately). A bigger return to grace than Lance Armstrong's stapping of a saddle under his one remaining nut !!!!

[adlo]

TourQuit, think quick, because I am going back on the hunt for the 16th player.

[MegaWatty]

I blame JC for this whole debacle! He'll know why!!!

[Johnny Canuck]

You invite the guy to play at Kennedy, he accepts, lends me a driver and then bails on the possible major.

[adlo]

Isn't Kennedy this weekend?

What are TQ's priorities?

[Bruce Dickinson]

I must declare that I've probably been to Kwinana Golf Course on more occasions than any one playing, but the exposure is limited to the couple of holes around the maintenance shed :(

[adlo]

Let's hope you score well on those holes then :lol:

[Pieface]

TQ Golfnut is quietly thanking you I'm sure. If you'd held out a few days he would have had to cancel and cop the sledging :lol:

[adlo]

I like it, any pike on a golf day from now on is known as a TQ.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Let's hope you score well on those holes then :lol:
par 3 over the trees and what looked like a par 4 coming around the hill, no worries there then

[adlo]

Yeah, piece of piss BD. We'll try and have someone with some "local knowledge" in each of the groups. Or a rangefinder at the very least.

[baldy]

This seems to be heading towards a MAJOR event. :)
Anyone care to enlighten a newbie to golf on what the deal is here? Ive tried searching to no avail so dont growl. :oops: or just point me to the right spot.
Just a brief description of matches and majors and mugs....oh thats me, no need to explain that one. :lol:

[Bruce Dickinson]

might have to give the super a ring and see if we can the tournament pin locations

[MegaWatty]

Do it!

[KristianJ]

Summer Cup...I know that it's been rather hot over your way, but is that the best name you blokes can think of?

[TourFit]

Like Frodo returning from dread Mordor....

Like Ceasar's triumphal return to Rome after conquering Gaul....

Like Golfnut's 27 point comeback on the back 9 (glad he got that out of the way, by the way)....

I AM BACK !!!

Didn't take long at all. 15 years of marriage and she knows who's Boss :mrgreen:

Just told her I am letting the Wa Ozgolfer's down.

Don Joaquin...remove the lines please. And the Q from my moniker

[MegaWatty]

LOL!!!

^^^Pure gold right there!^^^

[simmsy]

good man TQ!!

[TourFit]

Unlike the returning Frodo...I have not a ring....

BUT THE ONE DRIVER TO RULE THEM ALL !!!! (My Precious)

=P~


Now I hope JC dispels his 9015D curse and doesn't F*CK MINE UP. :-s I've lent it to him temporarily...

[MegaWatty]

I'm sure the face will come back fine TF.

[Johnny Canuck]

Like TourFat returning to the dessert table...

Like TourSpat burying his putter 9 inches into the ground in Bunbury....

Like TourUnFit driving rapidly in the opposite direction of the gym...

I AM FAT !!!

Didn't take long at all. 15 years of marriage and she knows how to cook :mrgreen:

Just told her I am weighing the Wa Ozgolfer's down.

Don Joaquin...remove the lines please. I am too tired after all this typing.

A little JC magic fixes everything:mrgreen:.

[MegaWatty]

Awesome!

[adlo]

Classic.

I think this seems appropriate! (http://www.entertonement.com/clips/bgfkfzrlqf--I'm-back-baby-George's-Answering-Machine-Frank-Costanza)

[linkslover]

just caught this thread, only taken an hour to get through and still can't work out who playing, how many are in and there seems to be more in out in out than a virgin on prom night. Great course selection, must be better than royal Marangaroo.
I would love to but probably can't do. like green vs mundine, the longer I hold out the more the appearance fee grows....well, it's really the work.
if u r only sittin on 15 close to the date, i'll revisit for the sake of getting a major, i'm really strugling though

Cheers LL.

Here's the rundown. It started as a matchplay thread with me and Veefore playing at Marangaroo.

Numbers grew, so we shifted venue to a better track.

Numbers have continued to grow. We currently have 16 starters. Zeusgolf is doubtful if his house settles that week.

I'll PM you if we are in need of a #16. You will make one of these things soon!

[TourFit]

I like it, any pike on a golf day from now on is known as a TQ.

And any pike on an OzGolf Day that requires spending time with Interior Decorators is still the GHEYIST of GHEY...

Oh...and JC, after 15 years of marriage she can cook no better than when we first met. I guess that is why she married a CHEF !!! She avoids cooking better than I avoid the gym, that's for sure.

[MegaWatty]

I'd like to propose that The Godfather should tee of first in the very first major outside of QLD.

Anyone willing to second that? He did get this thing, and many others, going!

[Johnny Canuck]

Sounds good Mega. He can be in the bag chatter group with Fit and Nuffie.

I also propose $5 each.

4 closest to the pins and a long drive @ $15 each with $20 on the much discussed par 3 16th.

[Yossarian]

Sounds good. I guess the draw is pretty much all sorted what with the MP's.

[adlo]

Great call on the side bet JC.

I'd be honoured to tee off first. Lets hope I get there on time :mrgreen:

TF, you are clutching at straws fwend. Baby shower would have taken the cake. But, like I have said before, you ate the cake before that could happen.

[Johnny Canuck]

LOL at the cake.

[Golfnut]

Crickey.......missed a lot going to bed early last night....
As per LL's post - Tourfake's like a virgin bride on her wedding night.....:^o

Anyway.....had the pleasure of playing Kwinana this arvo with my brother......Course is in great condition, greens were fast and rolled oh so true today.

Most of the front 9 fairways are cored, probably done last week.....back 9 recovering well from coring possible 2-3 weeks ago.

Played off the visitors tees however most holes had us hitting near or on the members tees anyway.....still can't get over how long this course is.....definitely suited to the likes of JC and TourHit, you freaks :smt084

[adlo]

Handicap reduction for practicing on the track!!!!

[Yossarian]

Agreed, GN can play off 10. ;)

[Golfnut]

Golfnut, are you hinting at the fact you'd like to try my 4H as is?

Yes....

[adlo]

Yes....

It is at TF's, feel free to do that.

[Golfnut]

Agreed, GN can play off 10. ;)

Get stuffed....had 34 hard earned points today but really blew the last 4 holes due to fatigue......brother played very solidly for 38pts (off 27)

He also hit the best 3w I have EVER seen on the 17th 402m Index 1 par4......about 200m out in the right rough, blasted this thing onto the tight green leaving a 15ft putt for birdie only to chicken out of the putt but still par'd the hole for 4pts.

[adlo]

When are you going to get a real handicap Golfnut?

[Golfnut]

Been thinking about it the last few weeks......whats the best/cheapest way to go about this? Bunbury Country membership?

Just been putting it on the back burner with bubs 3 due in June......for which I'm sure my golfing career will take a back seat, so don't know if there's any point?!?!? Once officially handicaped, how long between rounds before it gets canned?

[adlo]

You used to have to play 3 rounds a year, although MW was saying that might be abolished. Not sure.

Country membership is a very cheap way to go. All you would need is a card from an AGU course/round with the OzGolf boys and a card from the course you join. Bunbury are up with the times, they use the allowable format of calculating a handicap from 3 x 9 hole scores.

[Golfnut]

Meaning i'd have to play a round at Bunbury GC then? Not sure when that can happen........what's the cost of a country membership these days?

[adlo]

$230 I think, includes your golflink affiliation and insurance.

Yes, you have to play a round (sometimes 2) on your home track.

[TourFit]

Offer them $200 and ask to play 1 round instead of two...

[Golfnut]

Would I do anything less TF??? :lol:

[adlo]

Bunbury are happy with 1 round. Plus 1 x 9 hole round elsewhere (AGU rated CCR).

[Golfnut]

...........8. Golfnut, pussy whipped.........

Hahahah......Don't think so Adz......my d!ck's returned back to being used only as the thing I piss out of :)

[TourFit]

TF, you are clutching at straws fwend. Baby shower would have taken the cake. But, like I have said before, you ate the cake before that could happen.

Ghey would have been ME going to the baby shower. As it was, it was the wife making sure SHE could go and I'd be on dad duty.

Fair enough I suppose, considering I'd just asked her to play both Sat & Sun this weekend!!

As soon as she found out about the matchplay stuff (and possible major) she immediately said "That's OK...it's not just an everyday round. It's something planned and important"

You still take the cake away from me, fwend. I don't need no more cake anyway! Interior design is GHEY. Why'd you have to be there if you weren't actually inputting into the process?? Just pay someone to do it and let someone with style and taste choose whether it's any good. You just show up and PLAY!!!

[Golfnut]

Bunbury are happy with 1 round. Plus 1 x 9 hole round elsewhere (AGU rated CCR).


There's a very very slim chance I could play Bunbury next late week as were heading down to Mandurah for a few days.....how does this type of membership go?? Calender year or anniversary? Meaning how long will my $200 membership last?

Too much info :lol:

Golfnut, is your Mrs. italian as well?

Edit: Membership would last until October, then $230 renewal for the next 12 months. Country membership is NOT pro-rata.

So you are bringing the boy to Kwinana then?

It is not interior design. It is creating a shopfront and something we need to work in, every day and be happy with. We aren't doing some shit out of the latest "Beautiful Homes" magazine TourFit.

It ain't as easy as throwing on a matching 3 stripe Adi-Ho outfit, fwend.

[Golfnut]

Better......Portuguese.

Bugger....should've got my sh!t sorted back in October to get full value like Yoss did......I could try lowball 'em down to $200 as per TF's suggestion though.

Erm...no. Although he is swinging quite nicely nowadays. Mother or Mother-In-Law will have him for a while!!

You're right. That IS easy...especially when there is a FULL wardrobe of 3 Stripe gear to choose from!!! It's all about style and taste brother...

Maybe I should come down and look at the practical work interiors for you :wink: You know, work flows, kitchen layout etc

[adlo]

Lowball never gonna work GN.

If you were going to do it, you should get onto it ASAP. Use Kwinana round (one of you playing partners just needs to sign it along with g/link number) and a round at Bunbury (with a golfer who has handicap).

[TourFit]

Better......Portuguese.


Hmmm...Peri Peri Nice!!! =P~

Saucy.

Sounds fine to me!

I have played Kwinana about 20 times , but this is not always a big advantage :^o

I have managed to score 2 umbrella's and 4 caps ( all with Olympus on and in Blue ) for prizes , so Adam you can sort out how to use them.:smt114

Don't panic Bruce my game is hot and cold.

I'm praying it stays hot for the 17th.

An umbrella never lies.
