Woodford GC, Saturday July 17, 12pm

[AndyP]

As discussed in the Horton Park Open thread, some of us will play a round on the afternoon before.

CobraSS has told us that there is an open stroke competition at Woodford with a shotgun start at 12pm (and 7am) and a cost of $15 for visitors. Sounds good to me.

Merryl from the bar @ HP has a spare bed. :mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

I dont know him. doesnt sound like I want to!
(simply cos you suggested it, and i know you are a cad)

[AndyP]

Cobra, are the groups set on the timesheet or do I need to work them out?

1. AndyP
2. PeteyD
3. MarkyB
4. Eag's
5. CobraSS
6. Rusty

[CobraSS]

I have already put everybodies names down but change them if you want, no problem, and you had better put the Nudgee in your draw. (he requested to be in PeteyD's group)

As we have 7, the group of three will go first, if no-one else put's there hand up to play tonight to give us 8, i will release the reserved spot, the group of 3 may get a local put in their group if a single is looking for a game.

[AndyP]

you had better put the Nudgee in your draw. (he requested to be in PeteyD's group)
WTF? The draw will be random, like every OZgolf round.

12:00pm, 1st Tee

Group 1A
MarkyB
CobraSS
Rusty

Group 1B
Eag's
PeteyD
AndyP
Nudgee

[markTHEblake]

oh crap, i always get drawn with Cobra and Rusty. Then again Petey, Andy and Nudgee too, so not much choice.

Eag's, played with him once, didnt enjoy it at all.

[nudgee]

I am happy with the groupings although if someone is upset about the "non randomness" of the draw and cannot sleep well at night considering that one of Oz Golf rules has been broken then I am happy for the groups to be "random'ised"

[Eag's]

Groups are fine as they are thanks.

[Rusty]

ah, come on Blakey, i'm your lucky charm - witnessed that subpar round at Nudgee South a while back. get ready for another good round.

[markTHEblake]

I reckon my lucky charm is Jarro, he played that day too, i have never had a bad round with him around

[PeteyD]

I need a lift to Mooloolaba (Mountain Creek) after the game. Any takers?

[markTHEblake]

I'll take you, I am going to Palmwoods, the direct route is a bit dodgy for me old ute, so I might head towards the highway as google maps tells me its 10 k's more but almost the same time, so mountain creek is not that much out of the way.

But bring something to cover the clubs, as it will just be in the open tray in back of ute.

[markTHEblake]

CobraSS, is that actually a road or has google maps taken liberty with bush tracks again!

[PeteyD]

Thanks Blakey. If someone has a car instead of a ute I might reneg on that though!

[CobraSS]

That is a forrestry track Blakey (the main forrestry track/dirt road), sometimes it is okay if you have a 4wd, but most of the time it has patches of bad corrugations. Seriously unless you want to shake your car to bits, give it a miss. Either go back via Peachester-Beerwah on the Kilcoy Beerwah rd in yellow, or go back to Caboolture from woodford and get back on the highway.

[AndyP]

I need a lift to Mooloolaba (Mountain Creek) after the game. Any takers?You don't need a lift there anymore? Are you getting dropped off there on the way up from home? As already mentioned earlier, I'm your man for a lift, as I'll be going to/from Moorooraba.


That is a forrestry track Blakey (the main forrestry track/dirt road), It's fine to run on though. Via Peachester is the way to go, as long as it isn't during the Hippie folk festival or Splendour In The Grass.

Cobra, what are your thoughts on using Roys Rd from the highway instead of using the main Steve Irwin Way to get across the Beerwah? It always seems slow, especially with roadworks.

[PeteyD]

thanks AP. I am getting dropped there now as our plans have changed slightly.

Thanks for the offer Blakey, but I'll take AP up, and it is not really out of his way much.

[markTHEblake]

I am deeply hurt.

[AndyP]

Thanks for the offer Blakey, but I'll take AP up, and it is not really out of his way much.Very little.

We are heading up on Friday night now, and we're not telling Mitchell that he is missing a session of Auskick (after having the last two off for school holidays). Oops, selfish me.

[CobraSS]

I have never used Roy's Rd, so not sure, but I think most of the roadworks on Steve Irwin Way are done and dusted.

[nudgee]

It was good to play another round at woodford - I really like the course as it is a fantastic track with lots of great holes that get you thinking about where to attempt to land the ball. The greens were freakking fast, fastest I have played in a long time!!!! I had 6x3 putts and even 1x4putt - just amazing speed.

Many thanks to my playing partners Eags, PeteyD and AP who had a triple, birdie, birdie finish - the golf was not bad but our collective putting was really bad!.

[Eag's]

Thanks for the game today Nudgee, PeteyD & AP, your company was tops.
Woodford was in great shape today and the greens were bloody fast :shock:
Cheers to CobraSS for organising the day :smt023

[CobraSS]

No problem guys, thanks for coming.

[PeteyD]

Excellent course and excellent company. Great day all round.

[AndyP]

We had beautiful weather for our round at Woodford today. It's a nice course with a good mix of holes, but the real test today was on the greens. They were fast, which is fine by itself, but the pins were in nasty positions quite often. There were many three putts (and even four putts) in our group, and you could not afford to miss a green above the hole. No special scores in our lot, but they were thereabouts.

1. Nudgee 82 nett 72 (on countback)
2. Rusty 85 nett 72
3. Eag's 84 nett 73
4. CobraSS 82 nett 74
5. AndyP 87 nett 75
6. PeteyD 94 nett 77
7. markTHEblake 85 nett 81

Well done to Nudg on playing to his handicap (although ACR may be one or two below), despite some terrible putting. Many of us walked off the 18th wondering what could have been if not for the amount of putts we had.

Cheers for the round today Rich, Jamie and Pete. I enjoyed it most of the time.

An NTP for me on the 7th (and only just getting the par on the nastiest pin position on the course), and maybe Blakey got one too (?). I tried to steal the NTP on the 18th too, but apparently it is only awarded to C graders (which I feel like sometimes). Apparently I'm an A grader. HA!

Edit: ACR of 70. What a crock! Bring back CCR!!!!

[markTHEblake]

Next time we play at Woodford, can someone publish a list of where not to hit the ball? Or i could just draw up a map of where I went, that might cover it.
Lets start with #1, dont layup into the the pond. :roll:


There were many three putts (and even four putts) in our groupTechnically i only had a 3 putt on that bitch of a 7th, but according to the 'effective AP method' it was a 5 putt. And whoever said that the 4th putt in golf is easy, is a damn liar, it was a hellava lot longer putt than the third one.


and maybe Blakey got one too (?)Yep, got a 6 pack of pure Gold for the 3rd. But I got a golf ball as well, I guess it must have been a ball in rundown.

[AndyP]

Updated for POTY.

I got 7 Srixon Soft-Feel balls for my NTP.

[PeteyD]

What was wrong with 7? 1 putt straight in you nancies. Pity about the first tee shot OOB though :(

[AndyP]

The second tee shot was sooooo much better, Petey.

[PeteyD]

At least it was in play and not in the carpark :D

The six-pack, cooler bag and ball were for the NTP, the event was sponsored by XXXX, so that is part of what we given for all the days prizes, we just divvyed them up for the winners, r/ups in a,b,c grade and the ladies, and the NTP's and long drives.

AP won a pro-pin which is a separate comp run by the pro-shop, we have one for each grade A on 7th, B on 9th and C on 18th. Mainly because the b and c graders, a couple of years ago had a whinge that the pro-pin prize was always won by an A grader.

[markTHEblake]

Thanks, thought it was odd to get just one ball with the beer.

[Rusty]

thanks for organising Cobra, and the game Cobra, Blakey and Andrew (local). gee Blakey gets around - the local in our group, a copper who plays off 2, it turns out went with Blakey and another mate to watch some local golf about 6-7 years ago. small world.

i like thinking, plotting my way around Woodford. i don't get there enough. somethings to watch out for - the hazard left coming in to play at 160m out on the 429m par 4 5th, that tee shots feed into. i reckon the branches on the left of that fairway tree right should go, if not the whole tree. yes, that 7th green is very tough, as Blakey said. we got to watch to Cobra and Andrew lag a good putt each on the first, to help get a feel for the putting.

Cobra, feel free to let us know when there're "big" days on at Woodford.

[markTHEblake]

small world.Your telling me! - on Saturday night I find out that my two mates that I visit/sleepover most times i visit there, one a Maroochydore lifer, the other an old crony from Darwin, have worked with each other for 10 years.

[Ferrins]

nah mate, I will bring my Japanese Forged Burner irons for YOU to drool over though.

See ya then.

You still playing these, would be interested if you ever decide to move them on.
