$50 spotters fee

[Ferrins]

My bag is locked until the end of 2011 and I will give $50 to the first ozgolfer that finds me using a different set up. This is barring someone stealing my clubs.

Only excemption would be if I have the retro bag in play which will be the red and white Brosnan with the Brosnan Tour Classics

Bridgestone J33 driver, J33 3w, J36 2H, J36 Blades, Mizuno MPT10 wedges & Roma Ro putter.

Full specs are in my signature.

[AndyP]

Bridgestone J33R 460 10.5*/ UST Proforce pure s-flex | J33 3 3 wood 15*/ Aldila VS Proto 'ByYou' fairway 85-s | J36 19* 2H/ 'ByYou' hybrid 80-s,
J36 blades/KBS Tour s-flex 3-pw | Mizuno MP-Tquad cut grooves 54* 9 bounce & 58* 10 bounce | Putter-Roma Ro Dealer No 0.



Just in case.

Ferrins have you hit the new J38 driver, fairways and pocket cavity irons yet? POW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ferrins]

How do I activate the ignore pro shop feature.

[Daves]

Current bag list printed and a copy is now in my bag! The $50 will go toward the Champs Prize pool!;)

[Ferrins]

Gotta shed the ho skin.

Why rule out December 2010 or January 2011?????

[Courty]

Similar bets have been run in the past by quite a few different members on this forum. It always ends in tears. ;)

[Ferrins]

I will not fold.

[Ferrins]

Just had a few swings with the FourTeen blades, hopefully no one from here is planning on going to Tenterfield in the next 3 weeks

[PeteyD]

Can you give $50 to yourself?

I'll be there for 4 days in the first week in January, I'll keep an eye out for your golf bag. Let me how wet it is there.

[Ferrins]

Course is handling the weather well except the the sprinklers shorted last night and every one was running when the first staff arrived this morning. Balls are not plugging and carts are out and about.

[spanner039]

I was similar, happy with my j36 pc until I found a set of j38 cb's, resistance is futile. By the middle of the year you will pick them up for around $300 or $350 in your case.

[Dotty]

First dibs on the $50 for changing your golf ball specs ?

;)

[TheTrueReview]

Snap!!! Send the $50 my way Ferrins. Evidence -> Red Hot Confession. (http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/21852-Tour-Issue-Nike-Split-Prototypes-2-PW-Mint-condition?p=572615#post572615)

A likely story. :)

[Ferrins]

I am a rock on this thread and that $50 will go towards the dozen ball purchase for the Pat Malone Matchplay winner.

I must say that it is a relief to stop hoing and I am enjoying using the same sticks.

[Ferrins]

This is like being married, look but no touch.

[MegaWatty]

Touch but don't taste.

[Ferrins]

If anyone is planning on playing Tenterfield GC, then please let me know:D
It's got nothing to do with the Ping G10 driver that I bought of perci;)

[Ferrins]

All over red rover, called it on myself and put the $50 on the bar at Wynnum.

[jaybam]

Yeah well done ferrins. Share it around mate.

[BrisVegas]

ahh ok, so that was what the cash was for. Thanks for the drink mate.

[Ferrins]

Far too boring playing the same clubs all the time.

[Dotty]

Great thread, and it would be a shame for it to be lost.

So I'll now take the $50 challenge ...
Ping G10 / TM VSteel / Cobra Baffler DWS / Cobra S9 / Cleveland CG14 / SC Mid Sur 33" / Cobra GT Cart Bag / Smoothy

Full details is my WITB thread.
Exclusion clauses for theft, breakage in normal course of play and using old Titleist bag for travelling.

It should be easy. I can't be tempted by a G10 driver. ;)


Anyone else?

[Ferrins]

Good stuff, best of luck.

[haysey]

I'd like to see Tomson have a crack at this:mrgreen:

[timah!]

I'd like to see Tomson have a crack at this:mrgreen:

It'd only be worth it for him if we all paid him $1 for each day it stayed the same! Haha

[PeteyD]

Still using my putter Dotty, good to see it being used!

It works very well with a round grip and the same hand positions as chipping.

This bet stops me getting Kari to make one in the same specs.

[Ferrins]

What resolve! Yeah right, not one club left in the bag.

[Dotty]

I may need to call the referee (Ferrins) over for a ruling.

Ruling 1. The greens at home have just had a heavy coring/sanding and I didn't want to scratch up the finish on my SC. So out of the cupboard came the Ping Anser yesterday. Is it ...

a. Substitution is allowable, as no clubs were purchased?
b. A temporary local rule allows it, but must return to original putter, when course conditions return to normal?
c. Breach of rules and penalty = $50 ?


Ruling 2. Same cupboard, three low-bounce wedges (CG15, 588, SureOut) are now nagging me that they want a trip to the course as well.

[Ferrins]

You're gone,$50 donation to the Leon Treadwell Memorial charity drive. I'll post you a nice V-Steel head cover to ease the pain.

[Dotty]

Thanks.

That's a relief. I didn't want to get disqualified next week, by someone posting from Hicktown, USA saying that they zoomed in using Google Earth and saw a Ping Anser in my bag.

[Dotty]

I couldn't find a Leon Treadwell donation page, so I just donated $50 via credit card to the Ozgolf website.

Hopefully, Goughy or AndyP will see that it goes to the right place.

[Ferrins]

PM your address and I'll send you the head cover, if yours is a bit tatty.

[AndyP]

It was using the same paypal details and the cutoff had ended, but I'll let goughy know what the $50 is for.

[Ferrins]

How about a fortnight challenge for perci.

[Dotty]

PM your address and I'll send you the head cover, if yours is a bit tatty.
Thanks for the generous offer, but it would be wasted here.

The Nascar look with brand names everywhere is not me. No good for resale, as these particular clubs are best described as 'not-exactly-pre-loved'.

Now to go and practice, to shut those nagging wedges up.

[Ferrins]

Did you last longer than me?

[Dotty]

Close. I calculate 7 weeks for you and 9 weeks for me.

(Technically, my last club purchase was a lob wedge in Sept. 2010. But there was a flashy white bag and penguin headcovers in October (reward for finally reaching single figures) and a new trolley with Santa cash.)

[Dotty]

Okay, it's on again (with a slight variation) ...

Tour Burner with V2HL / V Steel / Baffler DWS / Cobra S9 / CG15 48* / 588 53* / Hogan 60* / Rife Aruba


btw. Since the last challenge ended, I swapped around wedges/hybrid/putters sitting in the garage and some Callaway shovels. Also mucked around with a G15 driver (which isn't a patch on the G10), found a shaft for an old TMTB and bought another anser-clone.

But a week of 37, 34, 38, 26 (4th game in 5 days!) and 39 points yesterday, tells me to lock this bag and get lessons, esp. with a driver that finally feels like the rest of the clubs.

And fingers crossed to get back to single figures.

[Ferrins]

We should have a standing bet for 50 bills instead


TaylorMade Tour Issue B stamp R7 TP 425 10.5* | Matix Ozik Xcon 7.1 at 44'
TaylorMade Tour Issue R7 TP 5W 17.5* | UST Mamiya Attas T2 8x at 43.5'
Adams Idea Pro 18* | Matrix Ozik Altus (s)
PRGR PC-01 EGG 4 | Nippon NS PRO Modus3 Tour120x
Bridgestone J36 premium forged blades 4 - pw| DGS300
Bridgestone West Coast Design chrome 54* & Akira Prototype 158 - 58*
TaylorMade Rossa Modena TP 4.02

[Ferrins]

A challenge to last till next years OZgolf Toowoomba event. Anyone cracks $50 for the designated charity that we support.

[Dotty]

I'm in for $50, but as we were both undone by a single club and mayhem followed, then I propose we each have a 'one club leave pass', either from our bench or a purchase.

'Loss of bet' would be as soon as a sixteenth club finds its way into the roster/bag.

No need to nominate upfront (I've edited the reserve club out of my previous post), so we won't miss that 'once in a lifetime' opportunity in the proshop. We just have choose carefully for the next 6-8 months.

[Ned]

perci in on this ?

[Dotty]

He will be competing in the 'KristianJ Division'.

[KristianJ]

I may just be stupid enough to be in on this...

EDIT: I didn't see the post above as I posted this. Yet my being in on this still is possible, even though having a division named after me is rather puzzling. L4G? Hello?

[Dotty]

That was the other choice of division name (along with a couple from the west coast).

Agreed however the club consists of the head only, so shafts can be changed if required.

Sounds good to me.

It would be UnOzGolfian to totally prohibit pro-shop sales.

Leon Treadwell Memorial Golf Day 15 April 2011

I suggest this runs as a separate thread so others can take up the challenge. If unable to stick to the limit imposed on your kit then a pledge of $50 for our OZgolf charity drive for the 2012 event.

Is that G10 hybrid going in the bag?

[Dotty]

Is that G10 hybrid going in the bag?
Nope, that's very long-term and most likely a starter club for a nephew.

But there is a 54* and 58* wedge that may find their way there. I'll do some testing during the week, to see whether one or both go in the bag.

Curse the OzGolf merry-go-round that makes good stuff available cheaply. Maybe we could change it to 16 club limit. ;)

[Dotty]

If all the irons are the same make and model, could that count as one club? :roll:


Stupid, stupid bet. The theory was 'lock the bag, get some lessons and remove the need to ho'.

In reality, tempted by a couple of wedges last week, but resisted putting them in the bag straight away. Yesterday, I got a lesson, had a practice in the yard last night and the X20s purchased a few months back felt so much better than the old Cobras. (On the upside, the X20s performed fine this morning.)

I'll send $50 off, when the 2012 Leon Treadwell Day fundraising kicks off.

[Ferrins]

Ha Ha.

I need to state that I have a long standing designated OZgolf Champs bag.

This is only for use at the big OZgolf events.

Palmer Bay Hill 1,3 & 5 wood. Driver has 185cc head
Brosnan Tour Classics 2-sw
Spalding TPM 3

Bag is a red Brosnan staff bag with matching headcovers.

[Eag's]

There is no help for you Ferrins.

Sling the $50 into Bowdo's fundraiser day, I'm sure no one will mind. Your indiscretions with your clubs might get you a cool golf day,
