daves,

If you are keen, count me in.

[Ferrins]

And then there were three. Put me down.

[Marto65]

I'll make a four if you want ...

[Eag's]

I would be keen to play as well if we can get enough for another group.

[Daves]

I tried to book us in for this today and was told they are already full!. We have gone on the reserve list, but I don't think it will happen. Sorry guys.

[Ferrins]

Don't wish to sit on a reserve list, so Eag's can take my spot if he wants it.

[Daves]

I got a 'phone call from the club this arvo. They have enough reserves now to put together a 2nd day Charity Day on Thursday 27th January. I think they are talking 11.30am shotgun start, but I will confirm with the club tomorrow and update here.

Let me know if you are still interested/available, so I can advise the club one way or another.

Thanks

Dave

[Ferrins]

Can't play on a Thursday.

[Eag's]

I can't make that Thur either Dave.

[nudgee]

Cant do thursday either

[Marto65]

May as well can it ...

[Daves]

May as well can it ...

Yep, I have let them know we can't make the 27th.

[Daves]

OK, we are back in this. There has been a cancellation for the Friday event and we have been allocated the spot, subject to my confirmation tomorrow. OP has been updated with details. Can we confirm that we are OK to play in this please as originally indicated.

Thanks

Dave

[Marto65]

I'm in for the Friday ... YEAH !!!

[Marto65]

The other guys may not have read this now that they think it was canned.

[Eag's]

Enjoy your trip.

I assume nudgee is away at the moment. Hopefully he can still make. I am sure we can rustle up a fourth in need, so will lock us in. Will be a good warm up for the Wynnum Cup;)

Thanks guys.

[Daves]

Then there were four, nudgee confirmed also.

[Ferrins]

Good luck lads.

[Daves]

Are we all set for Friday Team!?

Reddie Bay is in great nick, hardly a damp patch to be seen. Fairways are excellent and reasonably firm with a bit of run. Bunkers have all been repaired, the mowing is up to date, and the rough is not quite as long as it was! Greens are good, though a tad slow as they are avoiding shaving them in the hot weather. Fingers crossed the rain stays away. Remember carts are provided in the price (2 to a cart). Details are all in the OP.

See you there!

[Eag's]

Looking forward to it Dave, I always enjoy ambrose days :)

[Marto65]

My 26 points yesterday has me primed for this event. Ready to go mate.

[nudgee]

See you guys there.

See you guys there.

Sweet.

So when does good golf win an Ambrose Marto!?;)

I don't think there are any expectations of contending. It is more about a good fun day on the course with good company. The chance to support a worthy cause. And the chance to hit some aggressive, perhaps radical shots, mostly off the fairways for a change!:roll:8)

[Marto65]

If we are playing radical shots .... i better wear my radical pants.

[Daves]

Thanks for joining in today guys, the day was awesome. More importantly we were awesome!8). 10 birdies in a row and we almost stole the day with our net 55!. We can blame the free beer chick on the 10th tee for over lubricating us!;)

Will let you know the final figure, but seems with AMP matching the funds raise, that they managed to exceed $50,000 for the flood appeal over the 2 days. Pretty impressive effort by the clubs involved. And how funny is Fred Lang!:lol:

[Jarro]

Well done gents 8)

[Marto65]

Top day had by all I think. Thanks Daves for organising our group. Much appreciated.

Yeah ... we fell apart after the beer chick.

[timah!]

Yeah ... we fell apart after the beer chick.

It happens...just wait till you play Pelican @ the champs... :D

[Eag's]

Thanks again for organising the day Dave, I had a ball :)
We played well as a team backing each other up when needed. The 10 birdies in a row was fun, for awhile there we were looking at shooting anything.
Fred Lang is one funny bastard :lol:

[Eag's]

The other thing I forgot to mention about today was the presentation.
Just about every person who won a decent prize (including the winners of the day) donated their prizes straight back to be auctioned for charity.
I thought that was a fantastic gesture by all involved :smt038

[nudgee]

Just got home from a bloody long day!!! Thanks again Daves for organising a fantastic day - we almost looked like professionals with the 10 birdies in a row - how good were we!!
I think I agree with you all that bloody beer chick spiked our drinks.

Sorry I could not stay for drinks but it turned out to be one hell of an afternoon at work.

Reddie Bay has just released details on final funds raised from the 2 days. $32,000 total, with the AMP Foundation matching $ for $ taking it to $64,000 total. Amazing effort!
