View Full Version : NSW: WOLLONGONG: Launch monitor session and BBQ at Jono's

Just throwing this out there to see how many people would be interested.

I've got a launch monitor/golf simulator that I bought a while ago but haven't had time to use (or health for that matter! :oops: ) I'm thinking of hosting a launch monitor day at my place probably in January or Feb where you can bring some clubs you want to try and get the launch stats for that club. This will be followed by a BBQ for NSW Ozgolfers to put some faces to names.

This might be a good chance to bring your spare clubs that others can try on the launch monitor and buy or trade.

I put this idea forward to Virge and he was pretty keen so you might even be able to get a lesson from Virge on the lauch monitor. 8)

What do you think? Who would be interested?

I'd be keen Jono. Speaking of putting names to faces, you can't make it to the Mt Broughton game? I believe it'll be a NSW Ozgolf participant record.

Scottt is welcome as well.

By 'garage', do you mean dungeon?

Count me in.

EDIT: I only just saw the bit implying that it could be a buy, swap and sell opportunity. This could be interesting :lol:

I did see some equipment in that garage that i didn't know what they were and was too afraid to ask.

Depending on timing, I'm in. Last 2 weeks of January i'll be in HK and then at the outlaws in QLD.

Scottt

Sounds like fun. It will depend on dates and I've got a bit planned already in early Feb, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Jono
16th November 2010, 08:59 PM
I'm thinking of hosting it early January (either weekend of 9th/10 or 16th/17th) but I'll run a poll after I get an idea of how many are interested.

I live in Wollongong so how could I refuse - count me in...Stu

Jono, would be good to catch up again, keep me posted on dates.

Jono
16th November 2010, 09:25 PM
Hey guys, let me know:

1) when you prefer to have this

2) when you can't make it.

KristianJ
16th November 2010, 09:39 PM
Jono, of the 2 weekends you posted I think 9th/10th Jan will be the most likely one, since the following week my cricket season resumes after the new year break and I play on Sat arvos. Otherwise if it's a Sunday I should be OK as long as a date is set before Christmas.

Jono
16th November 2010, 09:54 PM
I'll aim to set the date by end of next week at the latest.

terrys
18th November 2010, 06:08 PM
i'd prefer 9/10. i'm playing in the Mt Broughton pro am on the 16/17th

KristianJ
12th December 2010, 04:29 PM
Any further thought about the date, Jono? I may have a bit of an issue with my poor ribs like you had with yours (cricket war wound for me though), so my attendance (at least for the launch monitor fun and games) may be dependent on my recovery time. :( Would still probably be keen to attend for the BBQ though.

I'm also from Wollongong and wouldn't mind having a bash on a launch monitor, never done that before. I can always use a lesson too :)

Dotty

Add me to the list.

I hope these launch monitors are like real golf, and lowest score wins.

Dotty = 84.5 mph of driving dynamo.

My ribs are fine - definitely in for launchie and BBQ.

Will it work for Duck hooks, could be interesting how fast they are going left.

Jono
19th December 2010, 11:53 PM
Guys, I've tentatively set the date for Sunday 9th of January.

I'll confirm this soon.

Scottt
20th December 2010, 08:32 AM
If that's the date, I'll be unable to come. My grandad's birthday and we're up the coast to see him.

Jono
20th December 2010, 01:17 PM
Anyone else who can't make it on that day?

The other option is Sunday 16th Jan.

Stuartd147
20th December 2010, 01:19 PM
I am OK for both dates...stu

I can do the 9th, but not the 16th.

KristianJ

9th = yes, 16th = no.

don't think so.

17th January 2011, 08:21 PM
Looks like this may not have happened.

Virge if reading can you ping Jono and advise update? Yeah I know playing secretary is not your role - but I have the Talisker..... and I'd even bring the Ardbeg 1975 if this still goes aead (or goes ahead again!).

And it would be great to put faces to UIDs. I'll bring Monica and some Cubans too.....

Wow, long time since ive posted.

I spoke to Jono the other day, about this very event.

Looking at getting it organised for a Saturday or Sunday in February.

I havent got my roster yet, so i cant say any dates im available but its looking mid to late Feb from what Jono was saying, as long as that suits people.

So may as well kick it off again and dust off the driver for some fun!

Matt 3 Jab
5th February 2011, 09:44 AM
Is anyone keen for this still?

Dates yet to be confirmed but we need interest first!

Step right up and see the mythical man who can (well used to be able to) drive a ball 300 and miss a 1 footer! LOL

KristianJ
5th February 2011, 10:51 AM
20 Feb is probably the only day I'd be available...

Dotty
5th February 2011, 07:24 PM
Pennant season underway until late March.

Stuartd147
5th February 2011, 10:40 PM
I would like to come along, free most days...stu

Matt 3 Jab
7th February 2011, 11:46 AM
20th works for me as well.

i'll message jono and try and get this going for the 20th

Scottt
7th February 2011, 11:52 AM
I thought you gave golf away mate?

Or have you gone and got the boxed set (buggy included) from K-Mart and you're ready to get stuck into some Vardon Events? :lol:

Matt 3 Jab
7th February 2011, 05:57 PM
Haha i have given up, but will be good to catch up with Jono and others to see if i can still hit a ball. And he is supposed to have a great gym setup!

The K-Mart Vardon dream will always live on!

Scottt
7th February 2011, 06:41 PM
You'll be back...

Jono
10th February 2011, 07:21 AM
Guys, I've been flat out with work. Sorry that this didn't go ahead as planned in January. I'm still pretty keen to host it though.

Matt suggested Feb 20th (sunday). Does this suit most people? Otherwise, we can pick a day in March.

Please let me know which weekends you are free.

BTW, can someone PM me Virge's mobile number? I had it but my phone died on me so I've lost all the previous contacts.

matty
10th February 2011, 07:28 PM
20th is good by me.

markTHEblake
10th February 2011, 09:51 PM
I'm not free any weekend until mid April.

10th February 2011, 10:19 PM
Hey mate - Major Pennants will kill most of my weekends for a while...

KristianJ
11th February 2011, 05:25 PM
If it does end up being March, I won't be available until the 20th at the earliest.

Jono
22nd February 2011, 01:53 PM
Thanks Kristian. Can everyone put down their available weekend dates in March?

Virge, tried calling you couple of times but your mobile was off. What dates are you free in March/April?

I'm going to test out the launch monitor this week to make sure it's working. This will be my first time using it so fingers crossed ...

matty
22nd February 2011, 05:09 PM
Most sundays for me.

Matt 3 Jab
23rd February 2011, 09:05 AM
6th is good for me, then working the next 2 weekends being the 13th and 20th, should have the 27th off but.

Gomer
25th February 2011, 06:44 AM
I'll come along if you'd allow a newbie to come. Be great to meet some golfers in the area and get some advice. Its hard when all your mates aren't into golf as much as you. :(

I'll figure out what weekends I'm free in march and get back to you.

virge666
25th February 2011, 11:22 AM
Have party, then wedding then hunting then ANZAC day.

April is a bit full - also depends on Pennant season and how much we win.
