2010 Qld Mid Amateur

[sms316]

I see Boonie is coming up for a game.

Field list here: http://www.golfqueensland.org.au/files/Current%20Field%20List_119.pdf

Should be a bit more pleasant than the NSW Mid Am.

Should be a bit more pleasant than the NSW Mid Am.Why are there 15 markers etc in the field. I would be pissed if I got drawn with them in an event like this!

[Courty]

I played indoor cricket with the bloke from Paradise Palms. Had no idea he was a golfer.

What are the pre-requisites for an event like this?

What are the pre-requisites for an event like this?I have no idea mate? It sounds like a fairly prestigious event and appears to attract a good amount of quality players based on the handicaps. IMO it isn't the event a anyone over 5 handicap should be playing.

**Having just read it is an event for 30 - 54 year olds, my statement is probably off a little as the event doesn't appear to be as pretigious as it sounds!

Supply and demand here mate, because if the field is over booked then the higher h'cap players are tossed out with a refund.

The > 5 handicap players should not be playing. Considering that it doesn't appear to be that big of an event my earlier points are irrelevant.

[Ferrins]

I agree and being on 11. I would be too embarrassed to enter.

The Mid-Am is far more enjoyable to play since it isn't full of 18 yo prats.

The NSW Mid Am was max handicap of about 12 I think. Far more of a relaxed atmosphere for a tournament. Plenty of beers afterwards. Doubt I'll ever play a state open amateur again.

[PeteyD]

I'd love to see that :D

[sms316]

Should be a fun event. Just organised an arse kicking from the Victorian visitor for the Saturday arvo comp round.

[Webster]

I'm expecting you to win this thing big boy. No excuses.

Prepare yourself for disappointment. Boonie is the man to back.

Are you playing with the Pings?

[sms316]

Are you playing with the Pings?

Only 3 wood, hybrid, putter and bag.

Irons/wedges will be another week. Maybe.

[PeteyD]

Ring Nickent, they might have them. Good luck Shamus and Boonie.

[Boonie]

Weather looks great...........until I get there. Rain for 4 days straight forecast!!!

Unimpressed to say the least. After the winter we have had here I was desperately hoping for some Qld sun. At least the hangovers aren't as bad in crap weather.

Took the family up last year, and as a result stayed out of the bar and nearly won it. Going with a mate who loves a beer or 10 this year, so the on course performance could be severely affected I feel.

Catch you there Sat SMS - and piss the rain off will you?

[sms316]

Yeah thanks for bringing that Victorian weather with you.

[Webster]

Perfect down here today Boonie, as usual. Good luck you blokes. Wish I was there - I'd be a sneaky chance for the net prize with my new 4 handicap.

I'm still here Jack - but I wouldn't call it perfect. Heading off tomorrow arvo

[WBennett]

It will be perfect at Spring Valley tomorrow. Shame you had to go!

[Bruce]

I intend to use the term "my office" a lot from now on.

[Ferrins]

I tried to use that office theory yesterday. Jumped out of the cart 50 metres short with the pitching wedge and went into my office. My thoughts were office, Clinton,Monica, drinks cart chick, monica, bill, drinks cart chick, drinks cart chick...tight shorts...

Air mailed the green and got a triple.

[PeteyD]

You might need regular shafts instead of stiff.

[kingslayer33]

Gold peteyd :)

[sms316]

Tripled the last to shoot 79. 74 leading. Not happy.

Officeworks shot about 85. No surprises there.

Boonie is on this arvo.

[Ferrins]

You didn't even finish the 18th yesterday.

[Yossarian]

My office. Like it.

MT, I played in the Lynwood Cup a week or so ago. The three guys I was playing with were all from different clubs and all off low hcp's. One of the guys tells me a few holes in that it's a Vardon event. As I haven't been playing that long I had to ask him what that was. Point being that the comp was still open to everyone.

OK.

#1 I'm poleaxed.

#2 It pissed down this afternoon.

#3 Shot 76 which was the best of the arvo field (went from T29 to T11). Included 2 doubles.

#4 Bar staff at Pelican Waters are phenominal.

#5 Boonie shot 76 this morning, Those pricks who played this morning owe us 7 shots each.

#6 I'm 1 shot clear of Dwayne

#7 Fk I hope tomorrow is cancelled.

#8 One guy I played with was even par through 14 and shot 81.

[razaar]

Did you mention that you are deserting to Ping? By the way, good work; does this mean you and Matt will be in the same group tomorrow. If so, don't look at his swing.;)

[sms316]

Dwayne is the group ahead tomorrow. Chopper.

[sms316]

Dwayne and Boonie finished tied for 9th. I was a shot back at 11th.

No umbrellas used today but the joint was saturated.

[PerryGroves]

I see two blokes raised the bat on all three days. Nice darts.

[sms316]

Not sure if I should be relaying any other stories from the event after what happened the other day nut here goes;

A fellow club member was drawn with a fellow from New Caledonia in the Qld Mid-Amateur this week. The visitor plugged his ball into the face of the greenside bunker on the 8th hole. He asked our member for a free drop.

Our member told him it was fine, but a 1 stroke penalty.

"No, no. No penalty."

"Sorry mate. 1 stroke."

"Fk you Aussies!"

Our mate then tried to play out and left it in the bunker.

"Fk you!"

:lol:

[macjackass]

What a tool. Nice avatar change by the way :lol:
