Pelican Waters favours a golfer who is capable of keeping the ball in play, is strong from the sand, and a little sublime iron play doesn't go astray. Putting the dots off it doesn't hurt, but I tend to think the greens at PW evens out the field.

So....

From the above list name who you think is the strongest...
DRIVER:
BUNKER PLAY:
IRON PLAY:
NAGA FAVOURITE:
FAVE TO WIN:

[sms316]

DRIVER: golfer69. Tees forward, PW is a bunter's paradise. Though off the blacks he is ****ed.
BUNKER PLAY: Anyone but Eag's.
IRON PLAY: Razaar. Distance control is vital at PW.
NAGA FAVOURITE: Henno. The bloke is a cripple.
FAVE TO WIN: NK. Overhandicapped, but not good on the piss.

[Ned]

FFS is this a rehash of last years favs?

[Eag's]

Hey Shaaaawn GGF :smt098

DRIVER: Shazza_rs - this chick does not miss fairways.
BUNKER PLAY: henno - every time I play with him he is impressive out of bunkers.
IRON PLAY: Just - hit's his irons flush.
NAGA FAVOURITE: - toss up between Solarman & Goughy ;)
FAVE TO WIN: Just - hitting form at the right time and hcp is to high for ability.

[Ferrins]

DRIVER: Jaybam as every one else will be drinking
BUNKER PLAY: henno and his missus will probably stumble into one on Friday night
IRON PLAY: Lucas' new missus
NAGA FAVOURITE: - anyone not playing this event
FAVE TO WIN: me

[Courty]

My tips are (unsurprisingly) heavily weighted towards the FNQers:

DRIVER: Haysey. Not long enough to get into too many of the fairway bunkers, and even his mishits find the short stuff.
BUNKER PLAY: I'll give this one to myself. 5/6 sand saves in the 2nd round last year. 8)
IRON PLAY: Tomson is a flusher and can play all sorts of shot shapes. The only thing that may catch him out is never having seen the course before.
NAGA FAVOURITE: Seriously? Betting needs to be suspended if anyone puts money on anyone other than Solarman. As Haysey said yesterday "Pelican Waters is going ask a lot of questions for which Solarman just does not have the answers." :lol:
FAVE TO WIN: I'm keen to see what odds Bruce is paying. ;)

[AndyP]

FAVE TO WIN: I'm keen to see what odds Bruce is paying. ;)
This.

It could be time for me to pull out my Champs past performance spreadsheet.

[razaar]

I am leaning towards Mr Shorts (SMS) to win this. For one, he has a home course advantage and two, he has a good all round game. Three, he hits it long which is a real advantage at Pelican in holding approach shots for realistic birdie chances. Four, he is such a lovely fellow, despite his preference for cross-dressing, makes him the popular favourite.

[Lucasto23]

DRIVER: has to be Brisvegas, long and almost always straight
BUNKER PLAY: Razaar, haven't seen him play in a while but is SOLID
IRON PLAY:The PILOT, Even if his iron play is off, it's pretty darn good and if he is hitting the fairways we are screwed
NAGA FAVOURITE: - I will have to go with the Tall ones words and back SOLARMAN
FAVE TO WIN: SMS - home track, if he leaves driver in the bag and the Hack sticks arrive in time ;)

[Choppa]

DRIVER: Dunno
BUNKER PLAY: Dunno
IRON PLAY: Dunno
NAGA FAVOURITE: Dunno
FAVE TO WIN: Just

[Yossarian]

I've liked Shannon's game for awhile now, and I think this year is his year.

Been drinking?

:lol:

[BrisVegas]

DRIVER: Iain/MTB/Tomson
BUNKER PLAY: golfer69
IRON PLAY:petethepilot/sms
NAGA FAVOURITE: - has to be someone from FNQ and those guys are pinning it on Solarman
FAVE TO WIN: Bruce/choppa, both guys are solid and have half a dozen too many shots. If they both choke, then I see no reason why petethepilot can't defend. He's a scratch golfer masquerading as one of us. :wink:

[sms316]

I would imagine 70 points will be enough. ACR of 72 (blue) & 74 (black). Not to mention the handicap of a solid hangover.

[PeteyD]

What did we do last year? I think it was black on saturday and blue on sunday?

[just]

So if I get 40 points on day 1 followed by 32 points on day 2, I'm a shoe in?

[ddasey]

What did we do last year? I think it was black on saturday and blue on sunday?

Can't remeber the colours. But didn't we play the back tees on the Sunday ?

[Courty]

Yes, back tees on the Sunday.

[ddasey]

Yes, back tees on the Sunday.

And it was friggin long !

[PeteyD]

That is my thinking. I remember very little from Sunday, other than being unable to stop swaying while trying to putt ...

[ddasey]

That is my thinking. I remember very little from Sunday, other than being unable to stop swaying while trying to putt ...

:lol:

For those that didn't attend last year

Black Tees 6359m

Blue Tees 5933m

[solarman]

FFS I'm just gunna let my clubs do the talkin' :roll::roll:

[AndyP]

back tees and hungover. Is it worth swapping the back tees to day one to make day 2 a smidge easier ?That's what we wanted to do last year, but we couldn't do it because of club reasons from memory.

[jaybam]

Harden up you big sooks.

[sms316]

FFS I'm just gunna let my clubs do the talkin' :roll::roll:

Do they dribble as much as their owner?

[sms316]

That's what we wanted to do last year, but we couldn't do it because of club reasons from memory.

The members' comp of the day is a stableford from the blue tees. Pace of play might be their concern.

[PeteyD]

Members are all wankers anyway. I guess it might be blue black again then.

[BrisVegas]

Members are all wankers anyway. I guess it might be blue black again then.

nah, it's the big groups of visitors that are the wankers. :wink:

[solarman]

Nah it's the people who work there that are wankers

[Bruce]

Can I get on myself for a Top 10 finish? I've only missed the top 10 at KV where I failed to overcome a horror start in losing 3 balls from 4 swings in the opening 2 holes.

Counting down the days now.

[PeteyD]

Top 10? About time you won this thing Bruce. Although SMS with his sneaky home club advantage has to be the favourite.

[sms316]

Although SMS with his sneaky home club advantage has to be the favourite.

Complete dribble. I've played about 4 games there since joining. Hardly a "home course".

[Bruce]

4 more than the field. That could be enough.

I am feeling quite the underachiever lately. I need to drift out like you Petey.

[AndyP]

I've played it more than SMS and Moe definitely has. We are both suckful golfers though.

[shavey]

The members' comp of the day is a stableford from the blue tees. Pace of play might be their concern.

Correct on all accounts and this won't be changing unfortunately...

[shavey]

DRIVER: I'd have to say Iain after watching him flush it on the weekend, providing it goes straight
BUNKER PLAY: Hard to say but after seeing G69 splash one out to a few feet, I'd be liking his chances
IRON PLAY: I'd like to play with PTP so I can witness his awesomeness for myself
NAGA FAVOURITE: 2 x NCR still means there are a few likely candidates
FAVE TO WIN: Will the pressure get to PTP after reading this thread?!

[henno]

DRIVER: I'm going to say Iain as well. He has this nice little 3-5 yard gay fade going on at the moment that has "fairway-finder" written all over it.
BUNKER PLAY: SMS is always rather handy out of the sand. I also tend to go alright as I love bunkers and hate chipping. I have far better sand-save stats than greenside chipping up-n-downs. (Although the powder bunkers of PH did my head in last year.)
IRON PLAY: Iain again. He flushes his long irons. Handicap of 11 my arse.
NAGA FAVOURITE: Me. 30th B'day Friday + crippled = chop fest
FAVE TO WIN: DC68: The king of the three-chuck-eagle has an uncanny ability to shoot his lights out while barely being able to walk. He has also recently acquired a chopper's handicap as well. Although if he's sober for either round he'll shoot 90.

[markTHEblake]

For those that didn't attend last year

Black Tees 6359m

Blue Tees 5933m

6000m is a doddle, but I dont recall there being that much difference between the two rounds, maybe we played off back blues or forward blacks? The only hole I recollect playing longer/harder on Sunday was the 18th, - had 210m left compared to a 4 iron on Sat.

[henno]

The 10th is a snack. I'm tipping birdies both days again for me, although I'm not sure which tactic to go with:


1. Pull hook to cart path, push second into trees/bark right, punch 8-iron to 4 feet and sink the putt.

or

2. Try to fly bunker and fail, wedge out due to huge face on bunker, stiff a 5-iron, sink the putt.


Both methods proved to be equally effective. Decisions, decisions.

[AndyP]

I dont recall there being that much difference between the two rounds,
I do, although I can't recall if there was more wind on the second day.

[razaar]

Course looks a picture. Was up there today visiting the in-laws who have a unit in the Plaza. This course really does have wide fairways.

[henno]

This course really does have wide fairways.

Famous last words.

[razaar]

Resort courses are renowned for having wide fairways. Club Pelican's are crazy wide compared to Pacific. Say what?;)

[sms316]

Course looks a picture. Was up there today visiting the in-laws who have a unit in the Plaza. This course really does have wide fairways.

Reasonably wide (16 is an obvious exception), however the ideal line on most holes is close to one of the edges. Of course it is penal if you miss any of them.

[BrisVegas]

What number was that silly little par 5 that had hazards down both sides and a bunker that seemed to start about 100m out from the green? ****, that hole was tight!I missed it both days. Thinking about teeing off with a 5 iron this year.

[sms316]

16.

I play it as 3 iron, 7 iron, wedge. Prick of a hole.

[just]

Is that the one with the trees in the bunker?

[sms316]

Yep.

[Ferrins]

Put $50 on your bum chums and I'll take the rest of the field.

[Ferrins]

I'll get a chuckle then, if you win.

[Hux]

New handicaps mean there are plenty of genuine burglars out there. No way I am putting money on anyone. JUST has some great form although the test will be how he handles the black tees on Sunday....especially if the wind gets up. Any of the former single figures players who now languish in double digits will be a cause for concern. Moe, Nudgee etc.
SMS, PTP, etc the list is long for the scratch players with HCP's. SMS can seem to have driver problems from the times I have played with him. If paired with Ned his greatest handicap will be concentrating between Ned's phone calls and calls for another shout.

Genuine B graders need not apply. No consistency to maintain it across 2 days.

BV hasn't managed to chop his HCP out enough to be a burglar but that is because he is so consistent. If his head isn't hurting as much as the last Sunday he is a good chance. Playing consistenly at Brookwater is no mean feat....RESPECT.

[just]

Dicky
You're dreaming. In 4 years of playing the Champs I think I've only finished out of the bottom 5 once.

[Ferrins]

If you don't blow over the legal limit mid way through each round, then you should be disqualified.

[kpac]

Whoever is on the straight and narrow will have this thing in their pocket. PW is a snack from the fairway, avoid water on the par 3s and avoid scrub on the rest and you'll light the joint up. I played the my last round from all sides, i am no hope!

[Eag's]

If you don't blow over the legal limit mid way through each round, then you should be disqualified.

Hey I like the sound of that. We could get one of our esteemed members of the Police force to conduct the tests :lol:

[jaybam]

Well I guess I am dq before I start ?????

[BrisVegas]

BV hasn't managed to chop his HCP out enough to be a burglar but that is because he is so consistent. If his head isn't hurting as much as the last Sunday he is a good chance. Playing consistenly at Brookwater is no mean feat....RESPECT.

Thanks for the compliment Craig, however...I am not, nor have I ever, "played consistently" at Brookwater. I can just as easily shoot 75 as 100. A quick look at my golflink is pretty telling.

[sms316]

Geezuz SMS that white txt is screwing me up big time.

It wasn't an accident.

:wink:

[Jarro]

Golf will be the winner

[sms316]

Alcohol will be the winner

I concur.

[PeteyD]

Motorboating and ploughing will be the winner ...

[Bruce]

My gag reflex is tingling already under the pressure.

Imagine if you had a putt to get sub-80 and win the Champs.

[Bruce]

Oh god - I think I'm going to be sick.....

[Iain]

Oh god - I think I'm going to be sick.....

Could do a Choppa and 4 putt?

[ddasey]

Hey I like the sound of that. We could get one of our esteemed members of the Police force to conduct the tests :lol:

That can probably be arranged, in the name of road safety of course.

[sms316]

I can just see the reading for NK - clinically dead.

[razaar]

I can just see the reading for NK - clinically dead.
He will still be posting on Ozgolf between gulps and shots.

[BrisVegas]

I'll rehash my form guide from last year.....


Feel free to add your own thoughts & predictions. Mine are:-


Shavey. Always a chance. Plays too much golf at work to rule out. No chance, it's not a corporate day.
Jarro. Long shot, but will be a chance if the wind gets up (and over him). has shown improvement, but still has question marks over big day performances.
BrisVegas. No chance. Won it all in 07 and hasn't seen his 'A' game since. Saw my 'B' game the other day, might crack top 10.
Goonie. Will bring 3 entire sets of clubs and will be too confused to threaten. Bringing the mother in law this year. No chance.
AndyP. Red hot fave. The thinking golfer's runner. Will keep it in play and out of trouble and I'd be surprised if this is not his year. ozgolf's 2nd best 12 hcapper. Strong chance.
Rusty. Form of late unknown, but historically strong. Might be overwhelmed by the occasion. no idea? does rusty play anymore?
Billy. mate of poidda's, so probably a burgler. Big chance. scratched
Iain. Capable of shooting a good score anywhere. Too contented romantically these days to be a real chance though. has lost the edge. still seems under-handicapped. A solid chance as always.
PeteyD. Has runs on the board at Reddy Bay. Will it translate to a watery, toight, resort layout? Prob too distracted with organising the champs to win the champs. Will he make it back from the soccer?
haysey. Most likely to suffer in high winds. Slim chance. But will have a good view of proceedings. Haysey-copter will struggle with tight fairways and ho-down distractions.
Bruce. Fancied interstater. Renowned for his 'A' grade style. All depends on whether he's sporting a 'tache this year. Another, massively underhandicapped ozgolfer. Strong chance.
Eag's. All depends on the barrier draw and the number of rums. In the right group, ie. fast rum drinkers, he could come from NAGA to win this. no chance of NAGA this year.
DC. won the last champs at a brutal layout like this. Totally depends on drinking. Could be a late scratching. Will definitely spew both days. His handicap is WHAT these days?? All depends on the fluid intake.
peter_rs. Mr Consistency, oddly enough, given the enormous belting he gives the ball. haven't seen him play for ages. Been busy elsewhere building houses.
shazza_rs. Mrs Consistency and will probably belt Mr Consistency off the bat if she fires up. Best Associate in the field.
damoocow. good pick for a placing. No form to win
kpac. roughie. Have a $1 each way. Has ho'd a heap lately. Too distracted. Good chance in a trifecta :wink:
Scarfie1. no form of late. Any late mail? scratching
sms. unbackable fave for low gross. Gun of the field. However, is massively handicapped by weight, shorts, blades, left-handedness. Even money to score a supergoal. Add Pings to other impediments. No chance again, despite playing home track.
Just. Will have the most Pings of anyone in the field. Steadily improving, stayer. Will be thereabouts. Short odds for a long argument over politics. Playing good golf too.
Goughy. I wouldn't back him with your money. no change
Courty. No chance. shanking, so watch out on his right. Hasn't done anything of note in SEQ. Still shanking. Has turned over more clubs than House of golf. No chance
blakey. Too much course for the old hooker. Might be a show if it's howling. Still old, still hooking.
BrisWesty. see jarro. Playing with a renewed vigour since quitting his job
Nudgee. see goonie. value pick if a melee breaks out. Too distracted with hoing clubs to FNQ crew.
GCSwinger. used to this style of course. Not much ozg form tho. good value roughie
Gazgolf1. Mr Consistency's really consistent uncle. Good value. Use him as an anchor in your trifectas. Not a kpac trifecta though. :shock:
PetethePilot. Mystery runner from parts unknown. Unbackable fave for a repeat win. Now has bionic knees.
Moe Norman. Lives on the course. Poor value unless his odds drift out. Watch out for his iron play. Does Moe play golf still? Always entertaining.
DDasey. unable to comment. chopper copper.
davemason. defending champ. Always immaculately presented. A repeat win not out of the question. Hes been doing lots of sandwork in secrecy out on Great Keppell. scratching
senecio. too much hoing, plenty of pace, no rhythm. roughie.
Ned Kelly. putts with a wedge. FNQ's most notorious burglar. Hoing has gotten seriously out of control since his release from prison.
Henno. anything's possible. Rooming with sms could be a factor. Even money to score a supergoal. Henno-copter is a slim chance if he plays conservatively. Unlikely
Grunt. no chance. will possibly hit one into Pumicestone Passage if he really winds up. scratching
Baz. unable to comment. Good value. Not so much for the golf, but good value all the same!
Nuttedit. mate of poidda's, is definitely a burgler. Big chance. Still a burglar. top 10 at worst
Gregh. matchplay semi-finalist. shows promise scratching
steverawlo. Another local qualifier. Comfortable on the coast, and has same strengths as jarro and westy. mid-field at best. Podium chance if there is a card night.
Lucasto23. Surprisingly solid chance carrying a light weight. Will struggle this year with the weight of ball and chain around his neck.
Jono. see goughy. Short odds for powerlifting prize. Long drive specialist.
Razaar. see blakey, but older and more opinionated. Could contend for gross.
Kev. mystery trifecta chance. Late mail is he's a scratching. As in "playing off scratch'!
Hux. Who'd bet against him? May need to sell all his clubs to pay for fuel to get home in the XR6T. overhandicapped still and he's getting lessons now. look for him as the nett winner.
Poidda. Will win the punt. Back whatever he's backing. Crook knees and bub due soon. Is he a scratching?
Choppa. will he play Sunday? Was top 3 after first round in 07. Needs to monitor fluid intake. Occasional golfer, but natural talent. Hard to go past, especially when coming in cold. ozgolf's best 12 hcap.
Mrs Lucasto23. unable to comment. Ball and Chain
Daves. unable to comment. Massive ho. Lefthanded unfortunately. Reasonable chance.



*Disclaimer - these comments are meant in jest, light-hearted and not meant to cause (too much) offence. Please feel free to put it back on me if you don't like what I've dreamed up about you!

Newbies:-

oxy - solid chance for nett, given his 27/26/24/23/22/21/watch this space (plummeting) hcap.
Tomson - The best 21 hcap in the world. Only average as a 5 hcap, however. Too easily distracted by flashy shafts.
Solarman - mystery man. Expect to see him in rubber gimp suit. Won't cope with the 'away' game pressure.
XRay - very underrated. Lots of handicap and ballstriking ability.
jaybam - sober. That's an advantage for starters.
Shannon (GC's mate) - unknown quantity. Mystery trifecta?
virge666 - late night antics will hurt his chances. quality player though
CobraSS - quiet achiever. A chance for the gross as always.
Timah! - unknown quantity. just like last year's winner.
Canuckdownunder - He's Canadian. 'nuff said.
Oz - unknown quantity. just like last year's winner.

[PeteyD]

Whack another 250k on me bookie. Those odds are coming in bigtime after tomorrow.

[Courty]

Tomson Only average as a 5 hcap, however.

:lol:


Solarman - mystery man. Expect to see him in rubber gimp suit. Won't cope with the 'away' game pressure.

You got that right. He can't even cope with 'home' game pressure. ;)

[chappy1970]

Geez I just had coffee with Bruce, should have asked for the inside mail on his form.

I know he has second round of Champs at Mirboo tomorrow, may wait to see if he makes the playoffs to determine where my money will be

[razaar]

Played with petethepilot today, he is looking good.

[goughy]

I am seriously the longest odds there!!!! Never been so insulted!!! My 18hc is coming to play!!


Oh, hang on. Isn't the champs deal if you you don't have a hc, then you're off scratch? Ok. I'm f'ed. But I bet off scratch I still beat someone :)

[Choppa]

But I bet off scratch I still beat someone :)

Top half of the field I reckon :)

[markTHEblake]

Whoever is on the straight and narrow will have this thing in their pocket. PW is a snack from the fairway

Pfft, i hit it pretty good around PW last year (missed two fairways) and shot nothing. Those greens were hell to putt on.

[Outcast]

You got that right. He can't even cope with 'home' game pressure. ;)

Wonder which hole will have Solarman's number at PW....... All of them perhaps...??

[Courty]

Wonder which hole will have Solarman's number at PW....... All of them perhaps...??

I'm tipping he'll have thousands on the 16th.

[PeteyD]

16 is my bitch.





We are all doomed.

[Jarro]

just is going to give this thing a real shake this year.

He's had another good round on the weekend (42 pts) and is playing some really good golf at the moment :)

Courty is a chopper!

[Bruce]

At least you are playing off a handicap this year Kev.
Surely that will count for something.

[Courty]

How the heck did I end up with better odds than Courty?

Probably due to that ridiculous amount of points you scored at Redcliffe last year.

Oh yeah, and I'm a chopper. :roll:

AndyP. Red hot fave. The thinking golfer's runner. Will keep it in play and out of trouble and I'd be surprised if this is not his year. ozgolf's 2nd best 12 hcapper. Strong chance.

That way ill stop drinking, start practising, blow my handicap out and then do the burglar thing at the Champs!!:roll:

[razaar]

Surely these odds mean zip. How can an old semi crippled fart with poor eye sight be 12/1?

[Ned]

Surely these odds mean zip. How can a cunning and scheming old fart with gun barrel shot making and deft putting touch be 12/1?

:mrgreen:

:smt045

[BrisWesty]

How can I be 50/1 when I'm giving shots to sandbaggers like Jarro (and he's on longer odds too), Hux, and Just. Better send me out to 75/1 at least. ;-)

[Ned]

Hux's odds need to be shortened.................AGAIN.

Had a 90 around Oxley today with a quad and 3 triples thrown in.

Nahh....twas off my game from inside 80m to about 20m today which was the main problem, plus it took me nine holes to get a putt to drop (the front was 43 which would have looked better if 3 or 4 off the lip outs had dropped) ..the quad was justa comedy of errors included a 3 putt....hmmmm so did two of the doubles for that matter!!

[jaybam]

Most of you coppers are on the take one way or the other. I knew it. Just didn't think it would be you hux. I am disapointed mate. Lol

[Eag's]

Hux, what is your Hcp these days anyway?

[henno]

Hux, what is your Hcp these days anyway?

About six or seven too many.

[Eag's]

Amen to that mate ;)

[Ned]

Lucky Russell isn't turning up, from 12 to 22!

[Hux]

Hux, what is your Hcp these days anyway?

20.1 however on Henno's claim of 7 to many it should be 25.

[Eag's]

15 sounds fair enough ;)

[Hux]

Not yet it doesn't. I think you need to shoot a bit better than 90 to play to 15 mate!! And one decent round at Nudgee is not cause to be getting too excited.

[Choppa]

Not yet it doesn't. I think you need to shoot a bit better than 90 to play to 15 mate!! And one decent round at Nudgee is not cause to be getting too excited.

With 46 points I bet you got a little bit of wood.

[markTHEblake]

Not yet it doesn't. I think you need to shoot a bit better than 90 to play to 15 mate!! And one decent round at Nudgee is not cause to be getting too excited.

especially when most club golfers only have about 1 good round in 10 (if that). I wouldnt be putting my money on anyone that has form leading in, cos the next good one is a long way away.

Rather i would be looking at someone slipping in under the radar, like who has had a huge increase in their handicap in recent times, starting to flatten out the scores with an edge towards improving but next to no chance of losing any shots in the meantime.

[Eag's]

Sure is. Hope he hasn't peaked too early. He had nothing left in the tank for the champs after the matchplay win last year.

[PeteyD]

Yea. Hux will beat him on Sunday so he will be an angry little man come the champs ;)

[Ned]

WTF ?

What form ?????????

[AndyP]

Marathon training has taught me how to peak at just the right time.

[goughy]

Marathon training has taught me how to peak at just the right time.

I used lots of sex to teach me that ;) ;)

I see my odds haven't changed!!!!!

[BrisVegas]

I had a look back through the field and I reckon there are a couple of guys with big chances if they can avoid the trainwreck round.

kpac
39,28 last year.
30,40 at Kooralbyn.

Bruce is in a similar boat...
25,36 at kooralbyn
36,31 at Palm Meadows
34,26 at Pelican last year

Choppa obviously
38, DNF at Kooralbyn
34,24 at Palm Meadows
37,25 at Pelican last year

pete_the_pilot won last year with steady golf and played to his handicap. However, I have a hunch that this year a higher handicap (non-A grade) player will take it out with a score better than handicap. Keep an eye out for the guys with big handicaps, who've been getting lessons lately... You heard it here first. :cool:

[Eag's]

WTF ?

What form ?????????

Turn it up, you win just about every NQ day you play in.


I used lots of sex to teach me that ;) ;)

Fixed for you mate ;)

[Ned]

Such as ?:smt104

[Eag's]

I am only going by the Player of the year games.
You have racked up 12 wins already this year just from the NQ days. I would say that is decent form mate, hence your short quote in the market :lol:

What time and location at Club Pelican is the draw taking place? Wouldn't mind stopping by for a laugh and drinks.

[PeteyD]

I think we have the room on Friday night. That means in there. Probably around 8:00 if we feel like it. Will depend on how late we get there from Horton Park etc.

[Hux]

"Making it to Friday night favours a golfer who is capable of keeping themselves in play, is strong from the start, and a little lime & water doesn't go astray. Drinking midstength doesn't hurt, but I tend to think the lack of drinks girl at Horton Park evens out the field."


Eag's you got odds on Ned making it to the draw on Friday night?

[AndyP]

There might be a function in that room on Saturday day.

Yep right there Cuorty, Haysey has finished #1 in the NQ MP, plays more golf the a Pro Tour Player, has his own on call Club Fitter and a practice range on his autopilot every day!

[petethepilot]

I agree with you Dion, someone who should be a 10 to 12 who has somehow snuck out to 16. Especially as it looks like the wind might not be as big a factor as last year. That brings high ball hitters who spray it a little back into the fold.

I myself am just trying to win 'Best trousers on Saturday for a hacker over 40" and to finish somewhere around 3 or 4 over on the gross!

I will give anyone $100 if they can throw me any more than 1 meter, all 95 kg of me :mrgreen:




:shock: Holy sheet.

[Ned]

In a discussion with Haysey today, the topic of booze came up and it was with great disappointment that I had to cancel my grog order with Mudguts for the Champs, the Doc said to me I should stop drinking :cry: ...............for a while, and well we then agreed I would cut down..............for a while. (Until the end of November anyway:twisted:)




as long as you make Friday night this year Nancy boy.


What odds on him getting out of the car at Maroochydore?


Hux I have had to close the books on that bet, way to many punters wanting to get on :razz:


You can have a piece of #159 as well Baldy!!!!!!!!!!!

No drama, but you will need to stand on the balcony at Crowne.

[jaybam]

I think anyone that can swim has a good chance lookk g at the weather forecast.

[Bruce]

Ah geez. I am sick of playing in the rain and slopping it around.

[PeteyD]

Nah it just says a shower or 2. Hardly mudlark weather. Was up there for fooseball tonight and we got no rain, the fields was basically dry.

[Ned]

Come on Eag's, AP's and Hux's odds have to be the shortest on the board now!

[Hux]

I will give anyone $100 if they can throw me any more than 1 meter, all 95 kg of me :mrgreen:


A meter eh......hmmmm now I may need to do some carbo loading and someone to lift you above my head but I reckon I might go close - all I need to do is let go as I fall over and it will be close to 2metres :-)

[Hux]

Come on Eag's, AP's and Hux's odds have to be the shortest on the board now!

What - Mr I don't drink is playing head games. AP is warming as my pick although the big South African has had a lesson as well and is starting to hit some decent shots again.

[Ned]

Correction Mr Buggy Breaker........................I said drink a little less!

[Daves]

Easy, just increase your spill ratio a little;)

[Ned]

Easy, just increase your spill ratio a little;)


Thanks Daves!:)

[AndyP]

Come on Eag's, AP's and Hux's odds have to be the shortest on the board now!We can't come in much more in a 45 plus player field surely. Maybe the rest of the field needs to go out. That said, I've just given 4 shots back to the field by dropping my handicap from 13 to 11.

[BrisVegas]

That said, I've just given 4 shots back to the field by dropping my handicap from 13 to 11.

Thanks.

[PeteyD]

Excellent. And the forecast looks like suiting the AP machine, if today is any indication.

[Eag's]

AP wound in once again, plus Vegas & Hux kicking along nicely so trimmed as well :)

Ridiculous odds. There are 40+ starters and you've got 10 blokes at silly short odds. About the only reasonable value is choppa, Kpac and dc68 based on past champs performances.

[Eag's]

Yeah nice try Dion ;)
I love all these blokes in form talking them selves down :lol:

[razaar]

Sms at 7/1 is great value. I can't see this being won by a handicap higher than 10, it is too much course over 36 holes.

[sms316]

I'm going to shit this in.

[BrisVegas]

I'm not talking myself down at all. I wouldn't put money on myself at 6-1 though. Dc68 is close to the best bet at 10-1 as he's got a bunch more shots than years past, and he's a proven winner.

[PeteyD]

SMS has home course advantage. 7/1s is way overs when someone like Just is on 3s. 250k on SMS.

[Eag's]

Hey my market may be way off, it would not surprise me one bit if a smokey out of left field came out and smashed everyone.

[AndyP]

I'm the favourite, which must be a curse. What am I paying for NAGA?

A place bet on me would almost be a waste of money at 2/1.

The Champs preparation begins.

[PeteyD]

Dave Mason would have been the only smokey to win one so far. Would be good to see it again.

[AndyP]

Dave Mason would have been the only smokey to win one so far. Would be good to see it again.The Champs has been dominated by single markers, with the exception of Davemason and Iain at the first Champs.

[Choppa]

I'll have a vom on 69.

[BrisVegas]

u make it sound like we're all playing for second....

[Eag's]

AP off the turps??
Well if he does manage to win this, he won't be a true Oz Golf Champion if he does it sober. :razz:

[goughy]

I'm only playing for NTP's..and probably need the magic pencil for them too.

Better get it off Jarro early, since he won't be there. I guess with him missing the rest of us will have a chance at the NTP's.

[BrisVegas]

I'm more interested in how many laps of the pool poidda can do underwater.

[poidda]

What price poidda ?
Other not listed 400/1


I'm more interested in how many laps of the pool poidda can do underwater.
hahaha. spa this year?

[Eag's]

Poidda added to the market, his odds are only that generous due to his lack off golf lately. I am sure as soon as the punt is on he will find form :razz: Nudgee has come in a little as well.

Sheesh Eags. You forgetting the dodgy knees?

[PeteyD]

You gonna leave the cart 50m before your ball so you can walk into 'Your Office' or something?

[BrisVegas]

I just noticed Tomson at 50-1! Surely not.....

[haysey]

I just noticed Tomson at 50-1! Surely not.....



And he's just gone out a shot too. Wind him in I say.

[goughy]

Sheesh Eags. You forgetting the dodgy knees?

You're not gonna nearly break one again like last year are ya!

[Eag's]

I just noticed Tomson at 50-1! Surely not.....

I have no form on Tomson, somebody enlighten me?

[poidda]

You're not gonna nearly break one again like last year are ya!

Making no promises at all.

[Ned]

I have no form on Tomson, somebody enlighten me?

See the location comment in Courty's Avatar profile!

[Choppa]

Poidda's got nothing this year. He's a NAGA contender for sure.

[jaybam]

I am aiming for the naga prize. Setting my sights high i know.

[Courty]

I am aiming for the naga prize. Setting my sights high i know.

You've got no chance. Solarman's paying evens to take this one out.

[AndyP]

I have always intended to post this spreadsheet, but keep forgetting or couldn't be bothered.

It lists the finishing positions of all OZgolfers in all previous Champs. For a bit of fun, I have broken those positions down into a percentile ranking; 100% for 1st, 0% for last, and evenly spread in between. The sheet is listed in order of the best average percentile and I've filtered out players who aren't playing this year.

On previous form, expect Bruce and Vegas to be thereabouts again.

8972

[haysey]

Fn hell. I better get my shit together this year:shock:





Must.beat.Solarman:mrgreen:

[BrisVegas]

On previous form, expect Bruce and Vegas to be thereabouts again.

8972

How can you go past pete_the_pilot? The dodgey bugger is up there practicing on the course as we speak... :lol:

What odds the champion goes back to back?

[Bruce]

I'm surprised by that list.

Who would have though Eags would have a better record than just?
How bad is G69 going?
And Hayesy - pull your finger out you home track hero.

[haysey]

And Hayesy - pull your finger out you home track hero.


I need a home handicap...and an away handicap:oops:

Oh yeah my record is outstanding :oops:

[petethepilot]

BV,

not enough game, not enough handicap, not enough cartilage...!

Even SMS beat me on our practice round. He now has the course knowledge. A certainty for the gross and a gross chunder on saturday night!

Look forward to seeing all of you.

[Courty]

I am the epitome of mediocre. :roll:

[markTHEblake]

It lists the finishing positions of all OZgolfers in all previous Champs.

clever me found the schmucks you filtered out, Great work by the way.

my 'ranking' got shafted with my almost dead last at the first champs in a very small field. Otherwise i have been 'up there'.
Though i think you would agree that with such a small amount of data its really hard to find a fair indicator.

did you consider using POTY money? or just simply how many players beaten on the day and average them. (though i guess the latter is the same thing)

[AndyP]

You getting another shot back the champs didn't have anything to do with it maybe ?

[poidda]

I think I need to go out a bit eags seeing the ball order didn't arrive.

[AndyP]

You getting another shot back the champs didn't have anything to do with it maybe ?I'm one or two shots lower than what I was before.

[solarman]

All you guys worrying about handicaps.

There's some sooky la la's amongst you lot. It means didly squat whether its 3/1 or 300/1. multiply x $0 and its still zero. No one is putting money on any of you choppers :-)

[AndyP]

It's a hypothetical discussion on hypothetical odds, not a hypothetical sook. I don't care either.

Jarro isn't going so he is keeping our balls? Talk about a dummy spit.
