2011 NQ Matchplay

NQ Matchplay Rules

- The draw will be performed immediately after the 2010 Matchplay Final on 06/11/10 at Sea Temple. Names will be drawn out of a hat by the 2010 Winner and positioned on the draw (below) in the order they are drawn. These positions are final. If anyone doesn't like it they will be forfeited and possibly banned.

- Comp is knockout. Once you lose, you're out. There must be a result before the next round can commence, so I recommend against leaving matches until right before the deadline. Rematches are encouraged if time allows, but not compulsory. Entrants may agree to make other arrangements at their own discretion, as long as I am advised of the outcome. If anyone doesn't like it they will be forfeited and possibly banned.

- Completion dates for each round are firm but may be relaxed (at my discretion) as long as effort is being made to get match played (ie. rematches due to draws). Otherwise I will forfeit both and possibly ban both.

- A new 1st Tee thread needs to be started for each match. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture and potential banning.

- More will be added (if necessary) as I think of it.

1st amendment: Just in case you didn't get the hint, whingers will be forfeited and possibly banned (not necessarily in that order). :twisted:

2nd amendment: Current handicaps as per Golflink must be used. Handicap fixing (or suspicion of handicap fixing) will result in being forfeited and possibly banned.

[haysey]

But I don't like the colour. Can you change it to a nice mauve or yellow please?

[haysey]

Why does player 12 get a bye? Why can't player 11 get it instead?

[haysey]

Wwwhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy!

[Courty]

[haysey]

Can I play off 18?

[mike]

So, the grand final had to be played by last month?

Worst matchplay spreadsheet ever.

[Tomson]

Oooohhh. Zing!

Wanna be the first banning?

[mike]

See ya folks. This will be my last post when courty reads that.

[mike]

Still here.

[haysey]

See amendment 2.



Meh. I'll be off 12 by December 31. Worst swing ever remember.

[mike]

Who the hell is Player 4? Never heard of him.

[haysey]

These whingers banned yet?

[Courty]

Meh. I'll be off 12 by December 31. Worst swing ever remember.

Read amendment 2 again, all of it. ;)

[mike]

Courty, I took a screen shot before you fixed it.

Ammo.

[mike]

I don't understand amendment 2.

[haysey]

Read amendment 2 again, all of it. ;)



It'll never stand up in court. The judge will go; "Put this bloke in c - grade immediately"

[Courty]

I don't understand amendment 2.

If I suspect Haysey, Maysey, anyone of deliberately fixing their handicap by choking, sand-bagging, anchor-throwing etc., they will face the punishment listed in the rules.

[Ned]

Great effort on getting the draw and details sorted Count!

[solarman]

Can I be bye please as I want to be around for a little bit

[haysey]

Now wait a minute. What'd I do?

Teachers pet!

[mike]

Damn. Gotta be quick around here.

[mike]

lol @ bob

[Outcast]

But, your description of 'deliberately fixing their handicap' matches my normal pattern of play... just check out my last 20 rounds on golf link and hell, you've played with me....:-)

Is that chocolate on your nose NK?

[timah!]

Solarman for a bye! He's the only one that currently holds a title!

Cant eat chocolate!:lol:

A genuine compliment and you QAnkers scream conspiracy!:smt018

[haysey]

Pot!:roll:



Yes Kettle, can I help you?




A genuine compliment


Since when do we do "genuine compliments" around here. I must have missed that memo:razz:







FWIW. I vote 2010 semi-finalists get byes...

[Ned]

Yes Kettle, can I help you?

Don't jinx Tomson on Saturday!

Post #22 answers that question.


FWIW. I vote 2010 semi-finalists get byes...

Me too!:D

[Courty]

1srt post amended. I've removed 2 of the byes to include enough spaces for the latecomers (Russell & Cookie).

[mike]

Excellent work. You're my 3rd favourite moderator.

[Julie]

So who is playing who in the draw?

[Outcast]

Geez Courty....

The draw was done over 4 hours ago... have you lost it??

[haysey]

Actually.....he has. Or maybe I have it, and the only names I've given him are:

1. Haysey
2. Maysey.


Should be an interesting comp.

[mike]

So who is playing who in the draw?As long as I'm not playing you first up, I don't care.

[Courty]

I left it in Haysey's truck. Emailed him immediately after he dropped me home, but it's still not forthcoming. You can all blame him.

[mike]

What a shambles.

I'm organizing the next one.

[Courty]

1st post updated (from memory). I'm pretty sure it's right, but Haysey will have to confirm.

[mike]

Woo hoo!!

[mike]

I've got 6½ months to play my next game. Even I could manage that.

[haysey]

There's one missing:roll:

[Julie]

Hahaha, Russell is going to be spewing!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Ned]

Hahaha, Russell is going to be spewing!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

WTF???????

By the time we play I'll have to give him 12 shots most probably!!!!!!!!

[Julie]

WTF???????

By the time we play I'll have to give him 12 shots most probably!!!!!!!!

And if he is nice to me, it could be more than 12 shots!:razz:...:lol::lol::lol:

[AndyP]

Nice win, grumpy.

[mike]

Andy you're a shit stirrer.

[AndyP]

I've been holding back.

[BrettM]

Courty, any chance we could schedule our game to coincide with the Cookie/NAGA match? That one would be fun to watch.

[Courty]

Courty, any chance we could schedule our game to coincide with the Cookie/NAGA match? That one would be fun to watch.

I have no objections to that at all. Although on reflection it could be bad for our match as we'll be so distracted by those other two clowns. ;)

[haysey]

There's been some discussion this afternoon about the Cookie/NAGA match being played at St.AB next weekend. Back tees, stroke....its got disaster written all over it.

[Courty]

Oh please make this happen. It will be ****ing hilarious. Haysey & I won't have time to play, we'll be too busy filming the other two completely botching their rounds.

[AndyP]

You guys should be able to navigate St.AB okay, but I don't know about the other choppers.

[mike]

Julie and haysey. Hurry up and play your match. I need an opponent.

[haysey]

Julie, we'll play sometime in February ok...

[mike]

Start a new thread.

[mike]

[haysey]

Guys, Mareeba now runs a Wednesday comp. Something to keep in mind with the wet coming up.

The greens are excellent at the moment but the rest of the course is a little scrappy.


Do they now? Timesheet or just show up?

[mike]

Just turn up I guess.

Once the wet hits the coast these comps could end up quite big.

[haysey]

I see Hughenden has a golf course. Anyone seen it / played it?

[Outcast]

I see Hughenden has a golf course. Anyone seen it / played it?

WhereTF is Hughenden??

Guess that would be a no and no...(from my perspective anyway)

[haysey]

Drive to Townsville. Turn right, drive for 6 hours...

[mike]

We've been to Hughenden every Easter for the last 12 years. I finally went and had a look at the course last year. Pretty flat 9 holer by the looks.

You got a quote to do out there?

[haysey]

Got to go there for 4 hours work. It's either hughenden golf club or somewhere in Townsville on the way home.

[mike]

20 hours travel to do 4 hours work?

[Outcast]

Got to go there for 4 hours work. It's either hughenden golf club or somewhere in Townsville on the way home.

Play the Willows... nice track

[haysey]

20 hours travel to do 4 hours work?


Yep. I work for some stupid people!



Play the Willows... nice track


Yeah. I've played em all. Hence the curiosity about hughenden golf club.

[mike]

I love Hughenden. Fantastic little country town.

[haysey]

Night life? I may take Maysey.

[mike]

Leave Maysey at home. He's trouble.

Had a couple of rowdy nights at the pub watching footy and playing pool. If you get into a pool comp, DON'T WIN. I repeat, DON'T WIN. The locals don't like it.

No strip joints unfortunately. None that I know of anyway.

[haysey]

Duly noted. May spend the second night in Townsville. Sure to be the odd strip joint there.

[Dcanto]

Duly noted. May spend the second night in Townsville. Sure to be the odd strip joint there.

I wonder if Santa Fe Gold still offers the same quality "entertainment" it did when the FNQ pennants team visited Townsville one year for the annual FNQ vs. NQ matches? FNQ struggled the next day. :wink:

[mike]

What year was that Dave? I think I heard about that weekend.

[Dcanto]

What year was that Dave? I think I heard about that weekend.

2002 - from memory. My recollection of that week-end is a little hazy.

[mike]

Was Lui there?

[Dcanto]

Was Lui there?

From memory he wasn't in the team but he was living in Townsville at the time so he ended up coming out with us one night. I remember having a beer with him at the Criterion (at least I think it was at the Cri). :oops:

[Courty]

I've had a request from a newly signed-up member to join the Matchplay if it is not too late. I don't have a problem slotting him in, but the only fair thing to do is ask for one of the guys with a bye to volunteer to play him in the first round. I have met & played with him a few times and can vouch for him being a good guy, however there may or may not be some truth in him being a mate of Solarman's. Any takers (Mike & Grumpy, I'm looking at you ;)).

[Julie]

Only let him in if he has got a good Solarman you-tube or another funny Solarman photo for us re- Solarman at the Korean Ladies Nail Salon.8):D

[Julie]

Was Lui there?
When Lui plays the Mossman Open, he looks pretty wrecked as he spends most of the time at The Iron Bar in Port. He must be getting to old for all this "young peoples carry-on"!:D

[haysey]

Julie, I went to school with Lui. That may give you an indication of his age range.

[haysey]

Still keen for a Feb 25th matchplay?



Edit: Lets try for the 27th:roll:

[haysey]

but the only fair thing to do is ask for one of the guys with a bye to volunteer to play him in the first round.


FFS. Just flip a coin. What's the point of being moderator if you can't throw your considerable weight around.







Here's an idea. I'll play the newbie. Mike can play Julie. Sound fair?:mrgreen:

[Julie]

Julie, I went to school with Lui. That may give you an indication of his age range.

I like Lui, can't you introduce him to a Saint Monica's girl, to keep him out of those nightclubs.:D

[Julie]

Still keen for a Feb 25th matchplay?




Edit: Lets try for the 27th:roll:

Not to upset Mike, but I hate playing on soggy grounds, lets look at March!:lol:

[haysey]

I like Lui, can't you introduce him to a Saint Monica's girl, to keep him out of those nightclubs.:D



I married a Saint Monicas girl. They're no guarantee of sainthood I can tell you:D

[haysey]

Not to upset Mike, but I hate playing on soggy grounds, lets look at March!:lol:



Can't do that, Courty's already looking for an excuse to ban me someone!

[Julie]

I married a Saint Monicas girl. They're no guarantee of sainthood I can tell you:D

Yeah, ask Maysey!:D

[haysey]

Unlike haysey, who is a legend. Maysey is a bad, bad man.

[mike]

I've had a request from a newly signed-up member to join the Matchplay if it is not too blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Any takers (Mike & Grumpy, I'm looking at you ;)).Are you waiting for an answer from Grumpy? Bahaha.
Courty I'll play him. No hang on, who is it first?



Here's an idea. I'll play the newbie. Mike can play Julie. Sound fair?:mrgreen:No. Frikkin. Way.
I'm none from two against Julie. She's unbeatable.




Not to upset Mike, but I hate playing on soggy grounds, lets look at March!:lol:Good luck finding some dry ground between now and March. Mareeba may be your best chance if this rain pisses off.

[haysey]

Are you waiting for an answer from Grumpy? Bahaha.
Courty I'll play him. No hang on, who is it first?



He's a good guy Mike. You'll like him.




No. Frikkin. Way.
I'm none from two against Julie. She's unbeatable.


:mrgreen:

[Courty]

1st post amended. poc is in against Mike. Mike can now quit whinging about waiting til February for a match, or face forfeiture or banning. ;)

[mike]

poc.

Sounds like a disease.

[haysey]

Would now be a good time to mention his handicap?

[Courty]

Unlike haysey, who is a legend. Maysey is a bad, bad man.

I'm tempted to ban them both. :twisted:

[mike]

Would now be a good time to mention his handicap?I already know. I'll be on a similar handicap by the time I play him. Gotta love this noo system.

[haysey]

I'm tempted to ban them both. :twisted:

The power has gone to your head hasn't it? Sad...so sad:smt090


I already know. I'll be on a similar handicap by the time I play him. Gotta love this noo system.

:shock:Ok, you're good. I had to go have a look for myself.



Actually Julie, I could be off 12 or more by Feb. Still want to leave it till then?

[Julie]

No I don't want to wait that long, I was just teasing Mike.:D

[haysey]

As was I. I've got 3 weeks off over xmas. Surely we'd be able to work some thing out then? Even if it is that Mareeba goat track!

[Julie]

I love Mareeba.:D Sounds good.

Mossman is looking pretty good at the moment, even with our 6 temporary greens. The 12 old greens are looking better then ever (at the moment!).

[grumpy]

Interesting to see how some ozgolfers are quick to judge.

I dont live on these golf forums, happy to play but if you need to get in contact with me, let nk know. (Especially now that he has reshafted my driver and given it back)

[mike]

Interesting to see how some ozgolfers can't take a joke.

[mike]

poc wins on forfeit. I'm out.

[Courty]

I'm out.

???

[haysey]

???

Indeed. What's going on there?

[sms316]

This pussy back in yet?

[BrettM]

So, what's happening NQ folk?

Hope to get out on a course soon. Anyone would be fine. At this stage it will be likely in Melbourne next month when we go down for the tennis.

First step though is to get my clubs back off Tomson at some stage. Haven't ho'd them mate??

Those would be the ones I picked up for 50 bucks then! I wondered where he got them from...

[BrettM]

At this stage the new KBS will be rusted by the time I use them.

What happened to Mike?

[Ned]

happy to play but if you need to get in contact with me, let nk know. (Especially now that he has reshafted my driver and given it back)

Your user name is very appropriate!!!!!

At least I don't leave idiot marks....................................

[Ned]

Anytime off over Xmas/NY Brett ?

[BrettM]

And what's the deal with those avatars??

Bob's toe jam??

:mrgreen:

[BrettM]

NK - have a week off from the 16th of January to go to the tennis. Will have a round at St. Andrews Beach at some point. Other than that, just working like all greenkeepers have to during summer. Got to keep those golfers on holidays happy!!

[haysey]

And what's the deal with those avatars??

Bob's toe jam??

:mrgreen:


Bob's visit to a salon. Pedicure heaven apparently.

I think Cookie is going to the tennis as well.

I never answered your question about St. AB. Way, way to hard for this chopper. Nice course. But I should have played it off the ladies:oops:

[Ned]

Got to keep those golfers on holidays happy!!

You spoil Haysey too much Brett!

[AndyP]

Really, Haysey. Although I didn't play off the back markers, there was plenty of room to miss on the fairways. The hard work was around the greens.

[BrettM]

Bob's visit to a salon. Pedicure heaven apparently.

Poor woman.

I'm hoping at least one round of golf in 3 months might help me get it in the air sometimes for my match against Mr Mod. Although, a couple of rounds between now and the end of February might see me drift out a bit more......:mrgreen:


You spoil Haysey too much Brett!

We put up a $75k HSV for a hole in one over the weekend and it goes off. How hard can it be??

[haysey]

Really, Haysey. Although I didn't play off the back markers, there was plenty of room to miss on the fairways. The hard work was around the greens.


Nah it wasn't that bad, I was just hitting it like shite. Can't comment to much on the greens. I think I only putted on half of them.



You spoil Haysey too much Brett!


I don't play half as much golf as you clowns try to pin on me.




I'm hoping at least one round of golf in 3 months might help me get it in the air sometimes for my match against Mr Mod. Although, a couple of rounds between now and the end of February might see me drift out a bit more......:mrgreen:

[Ned]

Thats cause it doesnt show up on Golflink!!!!!

Me too. 8)

[Courty]

St Andrew's Beach was a snack. 8)

[mike]

What happened to Mike?Nothing Brett. Still here. I just took exception to being dobbed in to the committee for comments I made on here about my club's course condition.

Temporary dummy spit over with and a lesson learned.

[haysey]

Woohoo!

[mike]

Woohoo what?

You played Julie yet or what?

[haysey]

Woohoo. Glad you're back.


Haven't played Julie yet, she's running scared:lol:

[mike]

Play her at Mareeba. Best course south of the arctic circle.

[haysey]

Mike,

Good to hear. Look forward to meeting you in the final after we knock these pretenders out during the year.

[Courty]

Pffft. No guarantees you'll make it to the 2nd round, my friend. ;)

[BrettM]

I believe it is 1-0 in my favour based on our past matchplay experience buddy :mrgreen:

[Courty]

I believe it is 1-0 in my favour based on our past matchplay experience buddy :mrgreen:

Correct you are, but the past counts for nothing when the future is concerned.

Whoever did it, what lowdown scum act!!!! Mike, I would be as mad a hell also!

[Tomson]

Whoever did it, what lowdown scum act!!!! Mike, I would be as mad a hell also!

Its stupid when you can't have an opinion on something. Well I had a personal opinon about something and now I have to go to and talk about my feeling to that said person about how he confronted me in the car park.

[haysey]

Make sure you tell the judge what you really think of him!

[Tomson]

Make sure you tell the judge what you really think of him!

I think he is a really nice person who has issues and uses some stupid act to hide behind cause he is a scared little person.

[Courty]

Well I had a personal opinon about something

You're not allowed to have a personal opinion about something unless you run it past Haysey & I first. ;)

[Sheldon77]

G'day Courty, not sure how hard and fast your draw rules are, but I was wondering , you know, if it's not too late, and, you know if the group was ok with it, and you know, because it would be hilarious.......... instead of Grumpy getting a bye, you would be amenable to taking on a late entrant and letting his "son-in-law" (me) have a crack?

[solarman]

Yeh....let him in anyway. Nothing like a good ol family stoush.

[Ned]

Exceptions and changes have been allowed already...................if I'm back playing dibs on being in the group.

[Sheldon77]

You're already in aren't you?

+1. Do it!

[Ned]

You're already in aren't you?

Being in the group when you are playing grumpy..........dopey!

[Sheldon77]

Why don't you stay in your side of the field and just play me in the final Danny? (And waiting for the flames..........Bring it!)

[Courty]

As there have been no matches played so far, I have no issue with it at all. However, a precedent was set by the inclusion of poc. Grumpy will need to agree to give up the bye first. I'll send him a PM, but it sounds like you may be able to get word to him first. If you do, can you get him to post his answer in this thread?

[Ned]

Why don't you stay in your side of the field and just play me in the final Danny? (And waiting for the flames..........Bring it!)

:roll:

[Sheldon77]

NK, have spoken to Grumpy Snr and he says that he's forgotten all of his passwords et al to this site. If you could help him with his zimmer frame and get him (or yourself) the approval to Courty. I spoke to him and he's ok with it, he just can't remember how to log in and 'officially' accept my gracious offer.

[grumpy]

For my sanity and the peace and quiet of not having to be harassed by Jack I'll consent.

[Courty]

For my sanity and the peace and quiet of not having to be harassed by Jack I'll consent.

Thanks grumpy. That rounds the draw out at a nice round 16 competitors. As you will see from the updated first post, that has already been reduced to 14. :cry:

[mike]

OK guys and Julie, the greenkeeper that has trashed the joint up here for the last 9 months or so has been shown the door. I hear we have a new guy starting soon and in the interim one of the members ( a genius in course maintenance ) is taking the reins.

Hopefully Mareeba will return to it's former self before long.

The place is a bit soggy atm but drains fairly well. I'll keep you informed.

[Courty]

Interesting news. Hopefully the new guy will get things back on track.

Best get the correct facts before making comment.

[mike]

What did I get wrong this time?

[mike]

I stand corrected. It was 10 months.

[mike]

It seems I've been fed the wrong info. He wasn't shown the door, he resigned.

When we played there last it was very ordinary :(

More attention to mediation. Less to organizing your next game of golf thank you very much.

Will $50 bucks make you go away?

[solarman]

Now that the count is out in the first round, is he going to maintain the thread ?:roll:

[solarman]

If it is still bad down here on Saturday, why don't we all head to Mareeba and play some matches. I reckon I can get POC to play Mike, Haysey and Julie, Rowey and Tomson, Grump etc. Did I mention that I'm thru to the next round.

That's the first decent suggestion you've made... ever. I'm in. Start a thread.

what that be more concentration on work less concentration on golf :)

Hey solarman after the solicitors fees I only have about 20c left. Will that do??

[Courty]

Now that the count is out in the first round, is he going to maintain the thread ?:roll:

O ye of little faith. I'm just about to update it from the weekend. You lost 8/7, right? ;)

[haysey]

- A new 1st Tee thread needs to be started for each match. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture and potential banning.



Your honor, in reference to the recently completed match between Solarman and Cookie played on the 15/01/11.

I draw your attention to the rule quoted above. And note that despite extensive searching I am unable to locate the aforementioned "1st Tee thread".

I hereby wish to file an official protest and call for the immediate disqualification of Solarman from the competition. And the immediate banning of both Solarman and Cookie from the forum for this flagrant violation of the rules.

[solarman]

And i call for the yellow birds disqualification for well, just for being him....i got nuffin'... Too many reds at this time, but i'm sure i'll think of sumfin'.

Both motions are noted and will be added to the agenda for the next board meeting. You should all consider yourselves on notice. ;)

[BrettM]

Boy you guys are crawlers....

[Courty]

Boy you guys are crawlers....

Right, that's enough of your insolence. You're banned & I'm reinstated.


;)

[BrettM]

BTW, in Melbourne and busting out the Daiwa's at StAB on Thursday. Couldn't trust Jetstar with the Miura's.

[BrettM]

Some of these tennis chicks are awesome.....

FFS. Writes rules and then won't enforce them. Next stop, anarchy!

Go on holidays and miss the chance to be on tv. That'll teach you.

[Courty]

I hope you rediscover some form and drop about 4 shots before your next matchplay round. That'll teach ya. :p

[BrettM]

Maybe I did miss something.

Got on the plane Sunday and opened the back page of the Sunday Mail. Sea Temple in full colour!

I hope you all cut that out for your scrapbooks.

I bet I got no credit for that either. :roll:

I thought it was haysey who called me earlier in the week about it....

[Courty]

I thought it was haysey who called me earlier in the week about it....

After I emailed it to him. I'm the only one with an RSS feed to your blog. :p

[haysey]

Channel 7 interviewed one of your lackeys on the news tonight.

[Sheldon77]

So I would imagine with the front that just hit M and C, M will be a no-show for the weekend? Royal G'vale had the outside 9 shut today with no carts at all and I can't imagine we'll be any better tomorrow; if any golf at all! So, no golf anywhere this weekend? Thoughts?

[mike]

M didn't get much R today. M only needs a few days without R and it'll be F. No idea about C. Ask H or C. B or T might even know.

[mike]

Or O.

[haysey]

C is Fd, I'd think we'll still go to M. However I'm not keen on playing MP in a bog and I'd assume J will feel the same.

[mike]

Are you still going to G the D?

[haysey]

N.

[Ned]

Mareeba has had a fair bit of water as well as some trees down this afternoon from a storm.

Forecast is for further storms and wind, carts are out indefinitely and at this stage there is a high chance of no competitions on this weekend.

Greens Director is ringing me tonight and I'll be talking with the President again tomorrow.

[Sheldon77]

FFS NK; did you not PU that we've gone to A's? It's not H to W it out!

[Julie]

Carts are out!:smt087........sorry, I am out, see you all next time.

[mike]

Julie Julie Julie. Golf is much healthier and more enjoyable when walking.

Get rid of that orange thing and buy a carry bag.

[Sheldon77]

So, 13th Feb, for those in the know, will Cairns be up and running or will we all be trekking up the hill? Royal G'vale is out for a variety of reasons. (Even I won't play here). Or are we just going to have to scratch this date altogether? Courty?

[mike]

Sheldon, I used to run Mareeba golf club so I feel your pain. When I got out I didn't want to go near the joint.

Be prepared for a thousand questions if we play next week.

[Tomson]

Rowey are you up for your matchplay on the 13th?

[mike]

Rowey?

[Tomson]

Yes rowey, I think.

[mike]

He must be offline.

[Courty]

Due to inclement weather, I'm going to extend the first round deadline until March 13th to give everyone a bit more of a chance to get their matches played.

I know there's quite a few trees down, but with the amount of rain we've had I'd say it will be unplayable for some time due to ground conditions.

[Outcast]

If DCANTO and I don't get it done before I leave on 20 Feb I'm afraid I may have to forfeit as I won't be back in Cairns until April and then we are heading over to Perth for a couple of weeks for a wedding.

I still remain hopeful that DCANTO and I might get it done on 13 Feb... I did say hopeful remember

[Sheldon77]

I'm still good for the 13th if there is an available venue. I'm the first to admit I'm not Livio Regano and I hate it when members ask me what the course conditions will be like "next Saturday week, mate?", so I won't waste everyone's time asking where will be good, especially with the rain we are getting. Having said that........ which course holds up the best? Mareeba?

[Dcanto]

I'm still available on the 13th if we can find somewhere to play. I do have a family birthday to attend around midday (was meant to be on today but got deferred a week for obvious reasons) but we should be able to get it done before then.

Hey Outcast - might I suggest Half Moon Bay if Cairns is out of action :razz:

[mike]

Excellent idea Dave.

[Outcast]

Hey Outcast - might I suggest Half Moon Bay if Cairns is out of action :razz:

No.... You may not....

[Tomson]

what about sea temple, I know mike doesn't like the cart :) but I think it would be the best condition at the moment and the green would be very puttable.

[mike]

Hate carts but I'll play Sea Temple if I must.

Brett, is it OK?

[mike]

Are you allowed to walk Sea Temple?

This is a serious question.

[Tomson]

Hate carts but I'll play Sea Temple if I must.

Brett, is it OK?

Brett is overseas at the moment.


Are you allowed to walk Sea Temple?

This is a serious question.

I agree with you about carts mike, there are 20 year olds using carts at Cairns. What a joke. I think walking round is a test in itself.

[mike]

So, can we walk?

[haysey]

Due to inclement weather, I'm going to extend the first round deadline until March 13th to give everyone a bit more of a chance to get their matches played.


FWIW, I'm definitely out of any potential golf that may be played on the 13th.


I see Courty has extended the deadline (soft). Julie, I suspect we're going to have to look at a midweek game if I'm going to be a chance of getting this done.

[Julie]

Mike there is a good chance it will be carts-on-paths at ST, so you will get plenty of walking in, would that keep you happy.:razz::D

[Julie]

Sure, just let me know. At the moment I can't see a problem.

[Outcast]

I'm up for Sea Temple and I agree it is likely to be our best option under current weather conditions.

DCANTO, how do you feel about Sea Temple on the 13th??

Or we could do Saturday the 12th perhaps if that is more convenient to all

Sea Temple on the 13th is ok so long as we can tee off early. I need to make sure I'm back for my God-mother's 60th birthday lunch. Coming from a wog background one thing you don't do is miss your God-mother's 60th birthday otherwise you could end up wearing a pair of concrete Footjoys.

The 12th might be a better option. I'll check with the boss and make sure I am not otherwise engaged.

Solarman is also out, and I am also likely to be out (will know more tomorrow).

[Outcast]

Solarman is also out, and I am also likely to be out (will know more tomorrow).

Does the 12th work better for anyone??

Yes I know, DCANTO is getting back to me on that one but, what about Haysey, Courty & Solarman and of course the rest of the FNQ mob??

[Ned]

Im out.

Presently in down town Tully/Cardwell/El Arish/Mission Beach area.

Wont be back home until Saturday at the earliest.

Got some pictures of some of the areas today and will have some more over the coming days depending on what part of the Community Recovery I am part of. Working off a very dodgey mobile connection ATM, hopefully it is improving in the next couple of days for me to upload.

[solarman]

Mareeba is a very good option for everyone.

I can't do Sunday (but I don't have a matchplay anyway). Mike, maybe I can see if POC can do Saturday at Cairns instead of Sunday if you can get away?

[mike]

Nah I'm committed to playing at Mareeba on Saturday. Got my group sorted.

Because of this I'll give Sunday a miss too. I won't play twice on a weekend.

Maybe we can sort something out for the weekend after.


Mike, maybe I can see if POC can do Saturday at Cairns instead of Sunday if you can get away?I'm confused. Is Cairns in play or not?

[solarman]

OK maybe the week after.

[Sheldon77]

I only have Wed's & Thur's off now (roster change) but can get away at 12 on Fridays. Had already organised for this Sunday to play my Matchplay because I am extremely committed (yes, I used the 'C' word) to the OzGolf group. It is now apparent to me that you are all quite soft and squishy on the inside and as such I feel that I fit in even better with you all. As long as I get plenty of notice and there isn't anything super exciting on at Royal G'vale *cough, cough*, I can get quiet Sunday's off occasionally. What's Cairns looking like for Wed or Thur comp?

[Courty]

Walked the front 9 at Cairns this afternoon. It was soft, wet & slow, but no worse than when we had all that rain a few weeks back. Still a lot of leaf litter lying around, but the big limbs etc have been shifted away from the playing lines. Greens were slow, but should be mostly ok after a decent mow.

FFS, Solarman again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:evil:


Im not playing him at Mareeba!:smt100

Good move. He's got that place worked out.

[Ned]

Good move. He's got that place worked out.

Im still in therapy from the last time he beat me at Mareeba!

[Courty]

Im still in therapy from the last time he beat me at Mareeba!

I think he plays so well up there because of all the trees. We can't see him throw the ball into a better position. ;)

[Julie]

Move over Courty, Russell and I are joining you on the bench so you are not lonely anymore.:D:lol::lol:

[AndyP]

You could start a losers' pool to keep yourself busy for the rest of the year.

[Courty]

You could start a losers' pool to keep yourself busy for the rest of the year.

Don't worry, that has already been discussed. :?

[mike]

Can one of you guys let poc know we need to do this next weekend (5th and 6th) or it ain't gonna happen. The weekend after is out for me.

[Courty]

I'll leave this one to Solarman.

How about another extension. The weather has been shit.

[Courty]

How about another extension. The weather has been shit.

Show me that you're making an effort to get your match done & I'll consider it.

[mike]

OK.

Hey poc, when do you wanna play this?

[Courty]

:lol:

[mike]

http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t325/yumbotto/poc.jpg

Don't laugh. That's all I've got.

Next suggestion?

[mike]

You should give us an extension. I'm a mechanic and he's a solicitor. Very dangerous combination.

You going to the Taipans tomorrow? I am.

[Courty]

You going to the Taipans tomorrow? I am.

Yep. I have a season ticket not far from Solarman. Haysey may chose to make an appearance for the 2nd time this season. :roll:

[haysey]

Nope. They can't afford my appearance fee, besides they're still shit.


Hope the ticket was free, Mike.

[solarman]

POC has been extremely busy especially since he pinged off someone oin his staff and his kid leaving.
I hope they have a high chair for you Mike to see over the railings so you can watch the game.

[mike]

I hope you're sitting in front of me so I can accidentally spill beer on you.

Do they sell beer there?

[mike]

Re Matchplay, if poc and I don't play next weekend I'm happy to go with a toss of the coin.

[haysey]

Do they sell beer there?


Yes. Alchohol has been the only thing to get me through many a Taipans game.
