Back Marker Challenge - Redland Bay, Friday 4th February 2011

[Daves]

They have opened the Tee times for the next Back Marker. No sunshine guarantees, but if it is still raining in 4 weeks time I think we will have other things to worry about!

I have booked us in for the 9.12am and 9.18am time spots. I have my foot on the other two spots at 9.18am if we have any other starters? OP updated.

[Iain]

I'll have one Dave.

Done. Spot 8 still available.

There are also still free tee time blocks at 9.24am, 9.30am & 9.36am, so can handle plenty more if there is the interest.

[gazgolf1]

Ta Dave, I think Hux was keen for this too.

[petethepilot]

not withstanding Gaz's obviously fine company, I need to hit off as early as possible (ie first group0 as i have to do the kids school pickup in Kenmore. I really don't want to be squeezed for time as divorce would be financially bad .

Sorry for the hassles

Pete

Pete

No problem Pete, will look to get you in the first group. Or alternatively, I may be able to get the 8.54am tee time for a group if that is going to suit you (and Gaz) better.

[petethepilot]

What ever works for you Dave!

if the numbers are not complete, can a mate from Windaroo come along?

[Marto65]

I'm out for this one ... sorry guys.

[Ferrins]

8.45am would be better for me Dave

[Daves]

What ever works for you Dave!

if the numbers are not complete, can a mate from Windaroo come along?

Yep, no problem. Send me a pm with his details when you get a chance.


I'm out for this one ... sorry guys.

Sorry to hear that mate. Catch you next time Marto.


8.45am would be better for me Dave

Can't get 8.45am but have got my foot on the 8.54am spot now and have dropped the 9.30am slot. Will update tee times when I have updated everything with the club. With PTPs mate in and Marto out we have 13 players spread across 4 tee times. So there are up to 3 more spots available at this stage, but will have to release the spare spots in the next couple of days if no takers.

[henno]

Is anyone coming past my way and able to pick me up? (Manly)

If so, I'll come for a slog.

[Ferrins]

I can pick you up but can't drop you back.

Hey Dave can I jump in that 9.12am group?

[Ferrins]

I need to be back at work by 2.15pm so the earlier the better for me, cheers Dave.

[Ferrins]

Hey Dave can I jump in that 9.12am group?
If I follow you just watch out I don't brain you with this Ping G10 cannon, best walk down the middle of the fairways, to be safe.

Probably, I just need to sort this mess out and confirm everyone that is still in will have a group.


I need to be back at work by 2.15pm so the earlier the better for me, cheers Dave.

8.54am is the earliest tee time I can get at the moment, is that going to work for you?

[Daves]

Ta Dave, I think Hux was keen for this too.

Huxtable has an appointment for a Doggy on Friday morning, so is out!:roll:

[AllanH]

Daves, I'm keen to give you guys another chance, I have a mate coming down from Yeppoon, is it possible for you to book both of us in with the OzGolfers or should I book separately?

[CanuckDownUnder]

Should be able to get you in Allan, pm me yours, and your mate's details (name and GL number).

Thank Ian, see you there. Just check on the tee times though, as I will be doing a bit of shuffling this arvo.


You have created a monster Dr Frankenstein.

You still in Stinky?

[PeteyD]

At the moment, will find out today. How many are in?

[PeteyD]

Feel the love Henwah.

[Lucasto23]

Finally:)

Will we be needing umbrella's?

[gazgolf1]

Thanks Dave cant wait to whackitroundreddy.

[PeteyD]

Umbrella's - most likely.

Work is hedging at the moment. Fingers crossed on a yes.

[henno]

Henno if you need a lift home I live at Wynnum Nth and can drop you off on the way!

That would be most excellent. In fact, you'll pretty much drive right past my street on the way to Wynnum North anyway. :-)

[Daves]

Last call on the remaining two tee spots for this. Will have to release them this afternoon if no takers.

[Jarro]

Hopefully this heat pisses off before tomorrows round :smt087

[Eag's]

Keep the fluids up tomorrow fellas or this humidity will kick you right in the nuts.
I drank 4 sports drinks & 2 liters of water in a 3.5hr round and still felt drained by the end :smt120 :smt107

[PeteyD]

Might be cart hire time.

[Jarro]

Wuss :p

[PeteyD]

Fat Old Cripple thank you very much.

Yep, good advice Eags. It was a stinker on Wednesday, lots of fluids needed. Hopefully we will get a decent breeze.

Forecast for Friday

Mostly fine, chance of a shower. Light to moderate NE winds.
City: Min 24Max 32Bayside: Min 23Max 31

See you there guys.

[CanuckDownUnder]

Might be cart hire time.

im in for that too

[CanuckDownUnder]

and I'm keen for that 854 spot if its available

[Ferrins]

Should be a pleasant outing with Pete, henwah and mistery dude (that I'll head f^ck if he plays really good)
.
Cheers Dave for making it happen

[PeteyD]

82% humidity and 27 degrees already. Gonna be a beautiful day for golf.

[Ferrins]

It was a pleasant outing, on the slow side but better than working. Thanks for the hit guys and well played to Ian. Nett 72 me, 72 Pete, 76 henno and 69 Ian.

[Daves]

Thanks everyone. The breeze made it much more pleasant than it could have otherwise been. I have updated the OP with scores. My golf was Sh$te, but thankfully the company was good.

[CanuckDownUnder]

Good to meet to some of you and great play by the big 3 in my group. Lovely to watch some amazing shots. Will have to do this again soon! Ice Hockey anyone?

[PeteyD]

Was hot and humid. Thanks for organising Daves, and to my playing partners Iain, Lucasto and Jazza. Wilted over the last few holes and missed out on what could have been a really good score.

[Ferrins]

You'll have a shirt in every colour soon Pete.

[PeteyD]

Black and black. As if you can wear them when you play. Trying to win the weekend away for the mrs ;)

[Jarro]

Thanks to Lucas, PeteyD and Iain for the hit today ... .good company on a well presented golf course (albeit with very slow greens)

I knew i was in for a long day after i hit a good drive up the left on the first, followed by a reasonable approach to just short right ..... easy chip to follow so i thought. Terrible lie for the chip with the ball almost resting on a tree root .... semi shanked wedge follows with a semi-thinned wedge after that. walked away with a triple after i was thinking an easy par might have been my fate :roll:

Thanks to Dave for organising ... well done mate 8)

[Hux]

I went and hit a few balls this morning after taking one of the mutts to the vet.....faaarking hot. It must have been a tad muggy down by the bay before the breeze kicked in.

Some pretty solid scores for a back tee event lads....well some of you anyway.

[henno]

Thanks for the game, guys. For my first game in months I rather enjoyed it, despite the driver being erratic and putting being simply woeful. Thanks for Ferrins for the lift there and thanks to Allan for the ride home. And thanks to Pete, Chris and Ian for the good company.

I've already had a dip in the pool this afternoon and I think an afternoon nanna nap is in order.

[Lucasto23]

Pete, Ian and jar thanks for a really fun round with some good shots by everyone in patches. Course was great and will only improve with quicker greens. Thanks Dave for organizing and keep it up as we love coming out for it.

[AndyP]

'Iain' not 'Ian'.

[Daves]

Results are up. Net 63 won the day. PeteyD, AllanH and CanuckDownUnder got shirts.

[Iain]

Thanks for the day guys, was fun out there even if the golf was shit....

[Jarro]

[PeteyD]

Lucas - PM me your address and I'll mail out the prize for NTP, $50 Good Guys card. Picked up my nice black shirt today :D Goes great next to the other one.

[gazgolf1]

Enjoyed the day at Reddy although my golf was either good or shite, no consistency. Thanks to Dave, Perci and Graham for the company and to Yvonne the cart girl for the refreshments and the nipple slip that only I saw. ;)

[Ferrins]

Dave, can you give Yvonne a good route, then she might be able to get around and service us all more frequently.

[AndyP]
