Haysey in Brisbane:Keperra - Wed 5th May

[haysey]

It seems a waste to take my golf clubs to Brisbane and only play one round:mrgreen:.


So I'm chasing a round somewhere Wednesday morning before I start driving home.


Keperra 7.30am

Redcliffe has it's back tee event on the 1'st Wednesday of the month.

[haysey]

Just looking in the SE QLD open days thread. Would they still be current?

Looks like Nudgee, Redcliffe (thanks Ferrins) Keperra or Bribie might be the go.

[henno]

Pacific has a Wednesday comp as well.

[AndyP]

Are you playing, henno?

[henno]

Not as yet, but if there's an early morning or late afternoon game on somewhere in east or north Brisbane I might be able to wangle something.

[AndyP]

How early is early? Probably not 8am, which is the earliest I could get there after taking the missus to work.

I could do this one instead of the Tuesday Virginia game, and potentially play Tex in matchplay.

[henno]

I could always take the day off, I suppose. I'll chew it over with the boss and let you know.

[Eag's]

If you blokes play early I will be keen as well.

[Ferrins]

Haysey sparrows fart cup?

[haysey]

I'm happy to do anytime that suits between 6 and 10am. There's no place else I'd rather be:wink:

[Ferrins]

Tuesday's a token golf day, but if they play with you on a Wednesday then you know you're popular.

Its nice to hang with the cool kids occasionally. You have no idea what Tomson and Courty are doing to my street cred:razz:

[AndyP]

If you guys are keen on the early time, don't worry about me. I'll play the Tuesday round, especially now that I'm not a 5th player, and there are currently 5 players showing interest here.

[Courty]

FFS. I've seen better cred at the repossession office. :roll:

[Ferrins]

If you get a tee time before 9am, then I'll have a run.

He who takes a gig at the mayors golf day should not be casting aspersions on other peoples street cred...

Cool, Eags / Henno is there a time that suits you guys? And are we still talking about Pacific?

[Courty]

The big difference here is that I never claimed to have any. ;)

I don't....anymore:cry: You blokes have seen to that.:lol:

[Eag's]

Anytime between 7:00-8:30 will suit me, I have to be at work by 2pm.

[henno]

8:30 is probably best so that AndeePee can play as well. I'll know if I can get the day off when I ask tomorrow.

[AndyP]

As I said, don't worry about me. I'll play only one of the Tuesday or Wednesday games, and was trying to avoid a 5 person affair.

[Eag's]

I was the 5th person putting my hand up so I will sit out.

[AndyP]

I was the 5th person putting my hand up so I will sit out.There's now 6 in the Virginia game, including myself, at a time that suits me. I'm happy to stand down from this game, so you can grab an earlier time.

[Ferrins]

I'm out, work schedule change. Sorry

[henno]

I might be able to play on Tuesday, I'll find out today.

[perci]

Count me in if you get somthing up and running!

[henno]

My leave has been approved, so where are we playing? Redcliffe? Pacific? Spots have now filled up at pacific pretty quick, so it looks like there are only times at midday or so now. Might be a deal breaker for a few.

[Eag's]

You can always get on at Redcliffe. It depends on what time haysey can be there. Same deal for me, as long as we hit off between 6:30 - 8:30 I will be sweet.

Good stuff Henno, although afternoon at Pacific would be a drama. If not Pacific in the AM can we play Redcliffe?

[haysey]

I'm good for any time as long as its morning.

[henno]

Pacific is out then. I'll play anywhere at any time as I have the whole day off. Redcliffe would be nice.

Alright, done. I'll have a crack at organising this myself.

Henno, Eag's and Perci (If you can) Want to PM your details to me and I'll see if I can do the bookings? I'll see what I can do between 7 - 8am.

[Eag's]

It's all good haysey I will give them a call.

Just got off the phone, they have no spots until after 10am.
I can't make that time, but if you like I can call back and book you three in?

[Eag's]

Ok guys, I booked a group of 4 at 9:54am. I can't make that time so there will be a spare spot for anyone who is keen.
Let me know if this does not suit and I will cancel the spot.

[solarman]

Bad luck Eag's. Haysey was going to talk to you about the extension on his shaft he had worked (or operated) on and see if you liked the feel of it.

[Eag's]

I would have had a headache anyway.

Sorry to be painful:oops: but I'd prefer earlier if possible. What would the chances be at Nudgee or Keperra?

Haven't you got an altar boy to molest:roll:

[Eag's]

Ok, all sorted haysey, I got us a group of 4 at Keperra for 7:30am single stab hows that?
I will cancel the other booking now.

[henno]

How much are the thieves at Keperra robbing from us to play there?

[Eag's]

I think it will be $35 which is not great value. If you played at Nudgee you would be slugged $30.

Great stuff Eag's. Thank you.

[sms316]

Heading over to the meth clinic whilst in the area lads?

[Eag's]

Scratch that just called to confirm comp fee is $25.00

[henno]

$25 is good going. Beats 30 clams at Nudgee any day. Plus it's nice and close after my usual Wednesday appointment at the meth clinic.

[haysey]

There's a Meth Clinic? Sweet:D

[Eag's]

Cool all sorted then :smt023

[razaar]

Keperra should be near its best with the Bowl in a couple of weeks. The fairways will be between 25 - 30 metres wide with 50mm thick green couch rough bordering the fairways and greens. The greens will also be faster than normal, not as fast as Nudgee but fast for Keperra. Should be a good day if you get to play the Old Course or the North Course..;)

[haysey]

I've got a feeling that I may struggle with green speed given the crap we have to putt on at the moment. Can't wait:D

[henno]

Nudgee fast? I was there two days ago and they were far from slick.

[razaar]

Will be part of the team rating Nudgee North course on Thursday so will be able to do a stimp reading.

[henno]

Whatever it is, I like them even quicker. And without the disease (that shazza so kindly pointed out on Sunday).
Although I can't talk. Pacific's greens are shit at the moment. Too long, too slow, too bumpy, too grainy, pretty shit all 'round.

[razaar]

That's what happens when they are oversown year after year. There should be no need to oversow in our climate if the grounds staff know their stuff.

I agree, and they have finally decided to not oversow this year. I have no idea why they are cutting them so long though. I think they are deathly afraid of losing them during winter due to some unfounded fear since dumping the idea of a winter oversow.

Of course I'm clearly a groundskeeping expert.

Greens usually have a life span of 25 years. That is about the time they start to experience drainage issues with changes in the substructure from ground movement to compaction. Oversowing puts grass on the greens as the bermuda goes dormant when it gets cold. The problem is that it is sown in autumn when the bermuda is still growing and ends up competing with the bermuda. Consequently the bermuda at this time gets less dense. Over several years of oversowing the bermuda will adapt accordingly as if it is being trained to accept another grass. Greenkeepers love to oversow once they get the seed quantities right. All they have to do from then on is to mow and water. If there are any fungi/disease in the green the weed (poa trivialis is a weed) oversow will mask it, which in itself is not a good thing. Blacklayer, algae etc are more likely to lurk in an oversown green because the surface of the green is usually very moist.

[PeteyD]

I guess the ones they are doing up at Reddy are overdue then, considering they were made in 1927.

[haysey]

Just toying with the idea of staying another day and having a bash at Brookwater8) on Thursday

Looking at Google maps tells me its 45 minutes on the Gateway motorway from where I'm staying in Nundah. The question is, is that fair enough for a 7-7.30 tee time? or would I need to allow longer to cater for traffic?

[PeteyD]

longer, maybe 30 mins to be sure. It doesn;t take much to stuff the gateway, although it is usually going north that has issues at that time of day.

If leaving at 6am, allow 10-15 mins extra for travelling towards the city. Once past there no dramas.

[haysey]

Duly noted. Thanks guys:wink:

[perci]

Sorry guys I'm going to have to bail out of this!

[Eag's]

I wonder how keen Haysey & henno will be about playing in the wet again tomorrow?

[sms316]

The rain wasn't that bad at Virginia today. The mosquitos were at plague proportions. Never seen anything like it.

[Courty]

This dengue'ed out yet?

[Jarro]

The rain wasn't that bad at Virginia today. The mosquitos were at plague proportions. Never seen anything like it.

They'd have to be as big as sparrows to bother Haysey :mrgreen:

[sms316]

He said that he is used to having a bunch of pests annoying him on the course.

[Courty]

:lol:

Oh, wait....

[Eag's]

Sorry guys, but I will have to miss this game. I have to see a specialist about my dodgy hearing issues and the only day I can get in to see him is tomorrow :(
Haysey I have sent you a PM, sorry to stuff you around mate.

[haysey]

No problem Eags. I'll catch you and Perci next time I'm in town.

[AndyP]

Do you think people are worried about the mozzies following you?

[haysey]

Given the rain followed me to Brisbane. I'm going to say yes :-(

Thanks for the round henno. Perfect weather, nice golf course. Moments of brilliant golf mixed in with plenty of mediocrity. Loved it!

[henno]

Thanks Haysey! I had a great time. Birdie and eagle chances flanked by a flurry of wipes (five on my card alone).
The weather was perfect, the beer cold and the company great. Sure beats yesterday's dodgy weather and Virginia "wildlife".

[Eag's]

Glad you had some decent weather guys, sorry once again for pulling the pin at the last minute.

[Lucasto23]

Nice to see you finished a round henno ;)



smart bugger :)

[haysey]

Hey henno. Just reading today's paper.

You got the ntp on 27 and I got the one on 8. Go us.

[henno]

Awesome. Five more Pinnacle rocks to add to collection.

[haysey]

Make it 10. You can have mine ;-)

[damoocow]

Awesome. Five more Pinnacle rocks to add to collection.

Henno - 5 balls should be the equivalent of $22.50 in pro shop credit - surely you'd get a couple of decent ones for that - shame you and Haysey draw the West course, you missed 10 -18 - that's the pick of the 9's
