Sunday 28th March - 'The Pat'

[Chris32]

Thinking this would be a good date for the next hit

EOI your attendance, more than likely a 1.00 tee off at the back of the field

Might have to be a bit flexible due to the busy nature of the course, but will confirm a few weeks out

So far, we have

Chris32
Hamo84
Flavzz
oobsadd2 - maybe
Daggs (at this stage)
Wazza - can't make it
mardo10
Funky_Cliff
timinsa - maybe
jasonb

Ok booked for 3 tee times from 1.00 onwards - names in bold are confirmed starters

For those that want to have a warm up the driving range they have is quite good

I'll try and be there for 12.15

[Hamo84]

yeah ill be in

[Flavzz]

Can we make it 12.45-1.00 instead of 12.00 cos I finish work at 12.. If not ill try get out early that day.

[Flavzz]

or 14th of march as I have that one off ;)

[Daggs]

Ill say yes.. but it will depend as we get closer....

I was hoping you would pick clare or tununda or the like.
I was rooted by the time i got home sunday , 2 hours either way and 27 ks on the course :-)

[Flavzz]

maybe we should do an SA Country Ozgolf weekend, play a couple courses on Yorke.

[oobsadd2]

Hmmm I havent played the Pat since the 80's. Im sure its better now.

[Flavzz]

Its great now oobs, the layout is forgiving but condition is excellent, you would eat this course up!

[oobsadd2]

wide fairways then, he he he.

[Flavzz]

they are generous :)

[Hamo84]

The fairways are that wide tht even i can hit them lol

[Hamo84]

Can we make it 12.45-1.00 instead of 12.00 cos I finish work at 12.. If not ill try get out early that day.
actually 1 would prob be better as i reckon it would be a tad quieter thn

[Chris32]

Yeah, I don't mind. Will we finish during daylight if we hit of that time?

[Hamo84]

yeah easily.... I played the full course with my mate the other week and we teed off at 4 were dont by just after 7 (noone really on the course) it doesnt.
cant remember if it is still daylight savings thn or not, but latest tee off during non daylight savings would be 2 i reckon

[Chris32]

Daylight savings ends on the 4th of April, If we hit off at 1 going by past rounds there we'd finish around 6ish, so should still be light

[Chris32]

Daggs, what about Wazza?

[marcel]

Chris,

just realised this is race day Melbourne F1 Grand Prix so I'm a no.

[Daggs]

Daggs, what about Wazza?

Ill check it out with him ...

He did say he finally got on to the site but obviously didnt post yet.

Once we get some grass up here it would be good to see a few of you up here . May be come up for a couple of days go fishing and golfing?

Forgot to ask you Chris howd you go with the grape crushing.

Have to hook Mardo up if he hits off with me he wont feel so bad :-k :?

[Daggs]

maybe we should do an SA Country Ozgolf weekend, play a couple courses on Yorke.

Would you be more inclined to play social swimthroughs or open day comps.
Bear in mind at open days theyll split us in grades but at any of the opens i can get us in groups in the relevant grades (it not what but who...)

[Chris32]

Grapes this weekend mate, they are ready now. A day up at Moonta would be great, keep us informed about when there is some green stuff on the fairways

No probs marcel, Didn't realize its Melb F1 on that day, I'll record it

[Daggs]

So have we got a few more for this day...... seems to be a few more posting elsewhere now.....

[Daggs]

Wazza"s in

[mardo10]

[Chris32]

Good stuff guys, you heading down Daggs? You'll have to let us know when the Moonta open is on so we can all make the trip up

[Funky_Cliff]

[Flavzz]

[Flavzz]

Had a good day today guys. Thanks for organising Chris, u played great. Loving the FT-9 mate

[Daggs]

Did ya get much rain mate was pissin down here at 9. 30 turned me right off.
Playin in the rain is not a problem just couldnt be stuffed drivin in it for four hours.
As long as all had a good day

[Funky_Cliff]

Cheers Chris and all. Had a great day. Put up a bit of a blog...

Tony

[Flavzz]

Thanks for the wrap in your blog Tony lol. The side fence was fine after all. Just thought I would make sure ;)

As for the conditions Daggs, it rained solidly for the front 9 then stopped for most of the back nine. Wasn't windy or cold and was relatively nice besides all the umbrella handling and trying to keep grips dry etc. Personally I played badly on front nine but salvaged some form on the back nine for an enjoyable day.

Hamo where were u mate? Did the rain scare u away?

[Chris32]

Cheers all for the top day, apart from a bit of drizzle it was a good day! Great to meet a few more new faces, with any luck we can get to double figures in attendance next time.

I ended up playing ok considering it was my first hit for 5 odd weeks, and really left a round in the 70's out there with a few lazt shots coming in. First time out with the FT-9 and I was impressed with that.

In Hamo's defence I did get a PM on Saturday to say that he couldn't attend, but I only have internet at work so I didn't get it on time

[timinsa]

Sorry I missed it boys. Didn't play all weekend due to landscaping & then back injury. Grrrrrrr :evil:

Next time.

[Chris32]

Thats OK Tim, next game I am thinking Lady Bay? I'll start a new 1st tee thread
