Leon Treadwell Memorial Golf Day 15 April 2011

[goughy]

Just checked with the City Golf Club and they have the 15th of April set for this this year. Rang the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation which run it, and they don't have flyers and entry forms for it yet, but she said Peter should have us in his database and would shoot out info when it's available.

Based on previous years it should be an afternoon shotgun start. About $120/team with all proceeds going to the Toowoomba Base Hospital Oncology unit which took stellar care of Leon. From what I can remember an ozgolf team has won the gross every year thus far, so we better keep the tradition alive. And I'm sure g69 could use another jacket.....

I'll be contacting my mates who I normally enter this with (the change of date last year meant they missed out, but I got my hands on a quarter of the gross prize), so get yourselves organising and lets see just how big we can make it this year. Last year was looking good till the date change so all of ya's who unfortunately missed out stick your hands up this year!!

Last year I think g69 stayed up here at the golf clubs motel the friday night and suggested it might be an option for those interested to make a night of it, and also to try and play the comp the next day.

For those of you who don't know why we make a bit of a fuss over this, Leon was my co-founder of ozgolf, my best mate and if you want to read more do a search for his username 'Jaster'.

[PeteyD]

Being the Friday before the school holidays I may be able to make this one.

[goughy]

I think we were talking last year about making a donation ourselves; Leons old work takes a collection and usually donates about a grand or so each year to this. I'm keen to try this ourselves. So what I'll do is from today all donations made to ozgolf will be donated to the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation at the golf day. I'll start another thread for this, maybe in the announcements and I'll keep a running total there to keep us updated, and maybe to spur us along.

[Jarro]

I should be right for this.

[Eag's]

I will be a starter once again this year :)

[Daves]

I am keen to play in this.

[Jarro]

I will be a starter once again this year :)

Same team again ?

Hopefully the Hickeys can lift their game this year ;)

[Eag's]

Yeah talk about holding us back mate ;)

[Grunt]

OooH this looks good, it is in the middle of my 4 day break. Can I pencil in and put it to the minister for Finance?

[Jarro]

Hey....they helped you win a pin.:roll:

It was a great shot for my first of the day ..... and i made the putt too :)

[shazza_rs]

Yep. We'll be up for it again! I'll just have to remember that the pins are in mm not cm ;)

[golfbound]

so where is this and is it 120 per team?

[Jarro]

so where is this and is it 120 per team?

City Golf Club Toowoomba

[golfbound]

bugger just looked at the date its the last day of our australian championships so counts me out

[Jarro]

Bummer that :(

You should aim to play this next year, it's a great event for a superb cause :smt023

[golfbound]

yeah will try im sure it is just like our charity day is a great cause as well.

[Jarro]

yeah will try im sure it is just like our charity day is a great cause as well.

I'm sure your cause is a great one too, but this event is pretty special to a lot of us here.

[BrisVegas]

I'm keen for this again. I'll book annual leave tomorrow so I don't miss out. I've got a wedding at the Gold Coast the day after, but I should be right for an up and back day.

Who wants to join me in winning the gross prize again?

[Iain]

Me...

[AndyP]

Put me in pencil, since I can't ask for leave yet.

[goughy]

Once they email me an entry form I'll post a copy here. Working out our own teams again assume. Can we get 5 or more?

[ddasey]

Ooh, I may finally get to this. Put me down for pencil. Will check my leave dates when I'm back in Brissie.

[golfbound]

I'm sure your cause is a great one too, but this event is pretty special to a lot of us here.

Totally understandable and if it was on a different day i would be there ..

[BrisVegas]

go team 'pencil' ! :lol:

[Grunt]

Am just sorting out flights and accom so the pencil is still there for me at the moment. Then it will be one last hurdle, Minster for Finance and fun to gain approval from. :)

[Grunt]

Who else is looking at Staying at the club on the Friday Night? Just looked on Wotif.com, Is $149 for 2 in a room with 2 queen beds, Extra adults for $25.

[jaybam]

If you were on your own grunters I am sure you could bunk at my joint. I'm about a hour from the course.

[Grunt]

Thanks Jaybam. May just take you up on that.

Just saw in Goughy's 1st post that G69 stayed up there last year. Am looking to see if I can get any staff rates that will also make it cheaper for all too.

[jaybam]

Yeah no dramas. Just let me know and I will make sure I can get rid of the eldest that weekend to accomodate lol.

[Jarro]

Golfer69 mentioned something about possibly staying the Friday night and playing in the comp on Saturday ?

[shazza_rs]

If we make a weekend of it, you are more than welcome to stay at my folks place in Toowoomba Grunt.

[Grunt]

What time does it kick off Friday? Would I be cutting it fine trying to fly up Friday Morning and driving up Jarro? Staff travel and all. Or would I be better off flying up Thursday Arvo?

[Jarro]

You'd be fine to fly up and drive there Grant.

I believe tee-off is at noon with a shotgun start.

Will you have a hire car ?

[Grunt]

Yeah Hiring a car, just looked first flight is 0635 arrival.

[Jarro]

Plenty of time

[Grunt]

what is more definite than pencil but not permanent marker?

I am at that stage :)

[goughy]

One of those erasable ink pens from the early 80's, you know, the ones where you could rub out the ink, but really the rubber was sandpaper and to remove the ink it just wore a hole in the paper!

[Grunt]

That's it, the Papermate erasable ink pens.

Anyway, I have approval from the the Minster for Finance and Fun, so there is no real game breaker for me not to play.

[goughy]

I emailed the TMB hospital foundation this morning about entry forms etc so I hope to hear back from them at some point.

[shazza_rs]

What have you done about the donation thingo goughy?? Are all proceeds from the donation buttons going to the day or are we going to set up another way of getting some dollars together?

[goughy]

Yeah, haven't got around to posting about it have I! Slack arse. I felt the easiest way was all donations via the donation buttons go to it, up until the day before. That way there's no splitting money to accounts, or anything. Just everything that's in there. I'll try and get another post up today about it. That'll give us 5 or 6 weeks to collect. I'd really love to get a grand together!

Currently there's about 70cents in the paypal so it'd be starting pretty much from scratch.

[AllanH]

Count me in, I can get the day off, will stay and play the next day if that is the go with everyone

Great to see another Bunnies Man playing too

[AllanH]

Way things are going golf maybe the only win for us Bunnies this year

[shavey]

Where you flying into Grunt as I could pick you up if Gold Coast bound.

Also keen to stay the weekend and play the comp Saturday, all depending on finances.

[markTHEblake]

I'll be staying the whole weekend and playing Sunday as well. I might play saturday at Gatton if its too busy on the hill.

[Grunt]

Brisbane, Shavey. It is easier to get in and out of as QANTAS no longer flies to Cooly any more. Too many cabin and flight crew commuting to/from there too.

Pencil removed, ink it in. Leave all approved.

So lets start putting some groups together !

[shavey]

Dicky and BV, are we reforming the winner team or not?

[Iain]

There's been a couple of winning teams Shavey.

[timah!]

I'm out, i'm afraid.

[Jarro]

Anybody know what the go with the Saturday comp is ?

[goughy]

Technically timesheets would be out about a fortnight in advance (if they do things like they used to 4 years ago). The best bet to get some Saturday times would be if G69 can shmooze a bit. Would only be 2 or 3 slots needed I'd guess.

[markTHEblake]

Goughy has a workshed doesnt he?
and must have heeps of cushions and couches lying around.

[goughy]

U feel like a roll in the hay mtb? Plenty of sheet foam. Reckon we could bunk a few here.

[markTHEblake]

U feel like a roll in the hay mtb?.
Flattered by the offer but no thanks.

[Eag's]

How many are looking at a Sat dig too ?
The accom they have at City is pretty nice but I didn't get much of a discount last time at about $130-$150 a night.
There will be cheaper options available elsewhere.

Sounds like a plan, Rich.
The long drive home after a big day on the course is never fun.
Plus we could all sit back with a few beers watching the footy while having a punt :)

[goughy]

Golf, beers then back to rooms to shower then back to club for cheap dinner and catch the games.

[Grunt]

Sounds good to me.

[AndyP]

I'd probably stay at the old folks' place in Oakey, if I was staying up there for the night.

Yeah, sounds good, not keen either on the long trip back Friday night.

Now if we can just organise with ddasey for a escort for the trip up!;)

[PeteyD]

Man it sux to be broke. Gonna rob a bank or get a lot on one of KPacs $20-1 long shots ...

[Grunt]

Tried to book flights today but due to staff travel conditions I cant book for a departure in excess of a month. Will book next week.

Rub out the Pencil, Grunt is now a definite.

[goughy]

Ok Guys. Peter Rookus emailed me the flyer this arvo, so I've attached it in the first post. I'm still trying to sort out if my team will be playing or not, so I may be up for a team as well yet! Will try and get it sorted this weekend.

[AndyP]

I still have nightmares about a Strawberry Shortcake doona cover. Never again.

[goughy]

Probably still got the photos. And it's high school musical these days.

[Jarro]

I won't be staying overnight now, but am still right to play on the day

[BrisVegas]

Blake/Iain/AndyP or anyone else for that matter - you guys wanna carpool up there? I got plenty of room in my Pajero. I was planning to come back that evening.

[markTHEblake]

ill be staying the weekend

[AndyP]

I won't know exactly what I'm doing until the event is a bit closer. Thanks for the offer, BV. Iain said he probably won't be staying up there.

[Iain]

Yeah, thanks Dion, that'll be good.

[timah!]

I'm out, i'm afraid.

Scratch that, keep me as a pencil. Site i'm supposed to be working at thinks it may not be a good week. Fingers crossed!

[BrisVegas]

I won't know exactly what I'm doing until the event is a bit closer. Thanks for the offer, BV. Iain said he probably won't be staying up there.

no worries. the offer is there. Have you guys still got the one car?


Yeah, thanks Dion, that'll be good.

cool. Room for 4 comfortably, so anyone else who wants in is welcome.

[AndyP]

no worries. the offer is there. Have you guys still got the one car?

Yep, but serious consideration is being given to a second car. We'll see where I get a job first.

[BrisVegas]

we're actually considering dropping back to one car. It would take a bit of coordination on the weekends, but it's doable. Will be hard to survive with just one. If we did do it, we'd keep the Pajero and ditch the Fiesta. Nice as it is, the Pajero is more useful.

[PeteyD]

Great offer. I need to get the funds to play first!

[Grunt]

G69 add me to the list of stay and play.

[moree golfer]

Dang it, I am attending a wedding in Sydney the Friday before and need to take the Thurs/ Fri leave to get there. I was looking forward to playing in my first event with Ozgolfers. Might have to swing around at lunch and do a spot of heckling :lol::wink:.

As a consolation I am pretty sure I will be able to play Saturday morning though. G69 count me in for the stroke on Sat when you book a block of times.

Also, if anyone is desperate I have have a spare bed within walking distance of the club, would need to run it by the wife first though.

[goughy]

OT, so you're here eh MG. Where have you ended up living?? Are you renting atm?

[moree golfer]

PM sent. Didn't think everyone wanted to know about me in the Memorial thread.

[shavey]

Might be up for that carpool offer please BV if the funds don't mysteriously appear over the next month.

[AndyP]

I forgot about Mitchell's footy on Saturday morning. A carpool is looking like a good idea for me too.

no probs. Not sure where I'll be living then, but we could always meet up at Goodna Maccas/Hungry Jacks or something.

[PeteyD]

Goodna Mackas/Hungry Jacks is still a ghost town.

I am going to pull out, doubt I will have the funds, and I think I need to rest the body for a bit.

[goughy]

If peteyd's out, put me in his spot. Seriously doubting my mates atm.

I'd play Saturday but you'll have to check whether or not a chick can play in the saturday field with you guys ?

[markTHEblake]

Likely I will be staying all weekend, but dont need accomadation and probably wont play saturday. Might play Sunday though.
So i guess thats a no.

[goughy]

In the past Shaz the saturday field had specific slots for women, segregated as they should be!

[timah!]

I'm now a more definite pencil. Say 2B instead of HB.
Have changed the dates of a site visit for work, so just need approval.
Just the Friday for me, possible car pool spaces with me too. Don't count on me just yet though.

[peter_rs]

Interested in the Sat round but limited by shazza

[shazza_rs]

Interested in the Sat round but limited by shazza

You can still play if i can't.... I'll just visit some family or go shopping with mum! :)

[Grunt]

Hey guys if we were to play in Toowoomba on the Saturday comp, what would be a realistic time to book a flight back from Brisbane Saturday Afternoon/Night? For Staff travel I need to check in one hour prior.

[Grunt]

Thanks G69. I think that gives me 2 flights to choose from.

Obviously I won't be after accomodation, but I'll be there for dinner and stuff. Might even come back for a walk on Saturday since I can't play!

[timah!]

Leave approved, ink me in baby!

Who still needs a team?

[goughy]

I'm assuming you'll keep your original teams going? I'm happy to slot in anywhere. We've got 4 full teams listed there plus another of 3. Granted there are some pencils there still.

Playing by yourself then eh??

Hey JB, been a while since I've had a bash with you. Shall we form a 2 at this stage :)

Timah could make it a 3.......

[Grunt]

Got a feeling G69 has already got a team.

[markTHEblake]

Goughy, can you put the teams in the first post. I am not sure who is in the dream team this year = seems to change by one player every year :-)

[Iain]

I'll still be there... :mrgreen:

[Ferrins]

Any room for an irritable, unsociable, chain smoking, beer guzzling vulgarian. If so then I'm in

[goughy]

Goughy, can you put the teams in the first post. I am not sure who is in the dream team this year = seems to change by one player every year :-)

I'll need someone to tell me what each team is though. I think they should be back to as original as they can be, from the first ltmgd. Then the rest of us can form whatever we can.

[timah!]

The 'A' Team:

Daves
Timah
Jaybam
DDasey

[goughy]

Sweet g-man. Isn't it the new big market?

[AndyP]

I played the first and second year, but missed last year because of the postponement.

[BrisVegas]

I played the first and second year, but missed last year because of the postponement.

yeah, I couldn't get to last year's for the same reason.

dicky - Now that you're playing, if you want to reunite with your 2008 group then that's fine. I think I took your spot in 2009 when blake/iain/AP and I won the gross. There's prob no need to have 3 single figure players in the one group, so I could slot in with someone else.

[Grunt]

I am keen to play Saturday still , but if it is not on I might do the up and back in one day trick. haven't booked tickets yet but that will not be a problem.

[BrisVegas]

Hmmm I'm pretty sure thats an insult to one of your teamies.

nah, Iain's out to 10 these days isn't he ?

Hows that look?

[markTHEblake]

Secured my first gig over in China and will be over there from April 2nd and probably not back until Tuesday 12th. On past history its been frowned upon to stay away on a boozy golf trip so close to being away from family.

Well dont drink so much in china and you wont come back smelling like a brewery, and you will be fine.

Plus if you can convince the Taxman your trip to Toowoomba is business, you can convince the boss too, cant you? She is a nice reasonable woman from memory.

[markTHEblake]

maybe while you are over there you can pick up some cheap gear and sell it here.

Now that I mention it, couple of Helensvale golfers just came back from a month in China doing some prospecting. They do glass and metal etching and engraving, and are genuises (but like you, skint), They do exceptional golf tee signs, might be someone you would like to sign up for a gig you get one day, or at least give you some china tips as well.

[Grunt]

Tickets booked for flight up and back.

Arrival 7:35 Friday
Departure 18:15 Saturday

Car hire and accom to be sorted.

Thanks for reminding me Dick, i must donate.

It will be great to see this kind of turnout, nice work people :smt023


Thanks for reminding me Dick, i must donate.

I will be doing the same very soon.

[jaybam]

I am just wondering if anyone of the teams have filled the forms out yet. Is only three weeks away and I know j haven't filled anything out and am wondering if the spots are still available??
In saying that I think it is something we should get moving on.

[Grunt]

Good point J,

Goughy, do you want me to fill out a form and email it up to you. I could even transfer the entry fee up through the Ozgolf Paypal if you like too.

[goughy]

Think blakey did it all lat year. And if I remember most paid on the day. I'm away but home today, I could print them out and fax them in to them. How's everyone with that? would just need all teams, names and hc's.

[Jarro]

Sounds good Goughy ... thanks :)

paying on the day sounds good to me also

[jaybam]

Cool. Will pay on the day. Will pm my details to you goughy if you just want to fax them in would be great.

[Eag's]

No not staying overnight now.

[Grunt]

Ok then it looks like I will travel back to Brisbane Friday night then as it looks as no one else is going to stay. Now to find somewhere close to Macleod GC to stay.

[moree golfer]

:( I'd better get started on wangling a trip down the range to play Mcleods Cup.

[AndyP]

At least it's on the closer side of Brisbane.

[goughy]

OK, been trawling through the contact details thread to get these forms filled out so zi can send them in today. Thanks to the two who have pm'ed me there details. That made it easy ;)

PM's have been sent to those whose details i don't have.
Iain - I need your hc.
AlanH - I need your name
Nudgee - I need your hc and club
Ferrins - I need your name, club and hc

If anyone can help, let me know. I wanna get these off today.

[AndyP]

If you have the golflink, you can get the handicap.

Do you want to have a wild guess of Nudgee's golf club?

[Daves]

Yes, I'd assumed that. But I didn't have his hc. And how do you think I got everyones hc's, apart from the two who sent their details to me via pm. I've spent the last hour trolling the contacts details thread and grabbing real names, their clubs and golflink numbers so I can get hc's.

And iain's sms finishes it all off. I'll copy the teams to the first post and include the teams hc.

[BrisVegas]

Thanks Dean. Are we ok to pay on the day?

[goughy]

Emailed them to find out Vegas. We did last year and I know others did too, so I reckon it will be alright. Bit of a pain to organise otherwise.

[goughy]

I potentailly might have another bloke to sit on the reserves bench for a game.


PS say goodbye to the 1st, 7th and 11th greens.

Sweet, I'm assuming 1 and 7 are what I think are happening? Is 11 staying where it is but being changed? It's really a shitty green if you ask me and needed re-working and something happening around it.

[BrisVegas]

PS say goodbye to the 1st, 7th and 11th greens.

If you shift the 7th, make sure you shift the tree in front of it too. :lol:

[goughy]

That tree has to go to change the play of the hole - and especially to move the line of play further away from the 3rd green and 4th tee.

[goughy]

I'm sorry Goughster but take your commonsense approach to another thread please.
PS its not the tree protection thats the issue, its the ****ing bees in the tree.

Another forum more likely!!

Didn't actually know about the bees!

[goughy]

In a full assault to threadjack goughy's thread here is a pic of the bee tree.
New green going back 30 yards and angled from left to right.


That tree doesn't look like much in that shot, but it is a real pain. And with a longer hole it will be even worse, as with driver you get far enough down that it affects your shot as it is. Having to se an even less lofted club will bring it right into play. It interferes with 1/3 of the fairway now.

FFS goughy, just hit your drive over it. :roll: :wink:


Actually, with your 'power draw', surely you'd just slap a 3 wood around it?

[markTHEblake]

Dick you are getting good at this architecture stuff, have you thought about doing it for a living?

p.s. Good luck in china. Bring something back for us..

[goughy]

Just checked with the Foundation and they've got our entries and she thought paying on the day wold be fine. Let's hope G69's group gets stuck teeing off on the 15th hole!!!!!

Oh shit, that's my group! Let's pray for the 1st or 10th then shall we.....

Make that 4.125! I got a shot back after NCR'ing yesterday. Mind you, I don't know where they pluck these numbers from???

[No Score - Not Approved] 1 03/04/11 Brookwater GC (Stableford) 72 73 95 19 6 22 6.7It comes from your nine eleven disaster last year. You get allocated the worst score from your last 20.

[BrisVegas]

ahh ok, fair enough. I'll take the extra shot gladly. On 6, I was only getting one shot between 4 and 15 at Brooky, which made for a long painful stretch.

[peter_rs]

Group 4 is down to an even 6.5

They are supposed to use the worse differential in your last 20 as the score for an NCR. In your case that was the round 11/9/2010 (Adjusted for a different ACR).

[nudgee]

Go Group 2, we are going to kick some serious arse!!!!!

Pfft!! you poofs have got nuthin :razz:

Forecast for next Friday is cloudy and 23 degrees :)

[shavey]

BV, the car pool offer still on the cards?

[BrisVegas]

BV, the car pool offer still on the cards?

Last I saw, Iain, AndyP and Nudgee were already keen. I could probably fit a 5th in, but it would be a bit squeezy. Plenty of room for clubs, but the seating would be 'snug'. Doesn't worry me, I'm driving. :wink:

[Daves]

Is this Carts or Walking i.e. will I need to take a buggy?

[AndyP]

Walking, unless you book otherwise.

shavey, Timah! is closer to you, so you could try him for carpooling.

[shavey]

Thanks P

Timah! Timah!

Why do I feel like evil cartman?

[BrisVegas]

ok, change of plans guys (Iain, AndyP & Nudgee) sorry. My kids actually finish school on Thursday and so now they are all coming up to Toowoomba for the day as well.

Sorry, I can't do a carpool anymore.

[AndyP]

Timah! Timah!

[markTHEblake]

Shavey, can you pick me up, and my kids on Friday morn, and bring us all back Sunday night?

probably not... I dont know if anyone else from here is going for just the day.

[goughy]

I have a 12 seater bus. If you guys can get yourselves to Toowoomba, I can get you to the golf club ;)

[timah!]

I can probably take 2 people. Depends on who has carry bags vs buggies.

I had offered to P first, so he has a dibs, am happy for another. Shavey?

[Daves]

I can take one if we are walking, if we going to cart it and I can leave the Smoothy at home, I should be able to fit 2 plus bags.

[jaybam]

Looking forward to this. Haven't played for ages and looking forward to having the day off work and driving up the hill. Team 4 looks like they have a huge handicap lol

[goughy]

The carts were usually reserved for the dignitaries or the sponsors of the day. I think the only time an ozgolfer has had a cart was the first year when g69 managed to get one for himself, and then proceeded to give it to me because I was covered in chickenpox!

[ddasey]

Looking forward to this. Haven't played for ages and looking forward to having the day off work and driving up the hill. Team 4 looks like they have a huge handicap lol


Agree. Will be my 1st chance to have a hit in the last 4 weeks. I must say our handicap look 'healthy'.

[goughy]

Will be my first swing since the champs. No surprises there. Unfortunately I feel my 18 social hc will not be enough to help us...

We've won the gross every year so far. Let's not slip up this year eh.

[nudgee]

I am taking my truck so can probably fit 2 or 3 with bags. I live in chapel hill and will be heading west from there.

[Grunt]

Is also a chance I could slip another in the hire car, wont be big though. Also only driving back as far as Pete and Shazza's if thatr is close to anyone. I will be arriving in BNE around 7-30/8

[timah!]

There's a reason why team 4 has a big handicap!

[AndyP]

We've won the gross every year so far. Let's not slip up this year eh.No chance. We've got the Brookwater Club Champion.

[moree golfer]

Who is sticking around for a beer or fifteen afterwards besides G69? I am angling to get out for a beer with whomever after my familial duties have been peformed on Friday evening. City clubhouse is under 1km from my digs (downhill).

[moree golfer]

So Dicky am I welcome to join you for a couple of sharps Friday evening?

[markTHEblake]

No chance. We've got the Brookwater Club Champion.

make that two matchplay champions, not to mention a star rookie matchplayer and,,, um, the Unit is well the Unit

[moree golfer]

Sounds like my kind of night. I'll just have to ensure I get myself and MTB to Mcleod safely and on time Saturday morning. Venue is City clubhouse right?

[AndyP]

What time do we hit off?

[timah!]

11am according to the flyer...

[AndyP]

Thanks. It's a full day away from home then.

Tim, Nudgee is going to pick me up from home, as it's on his way through. Thanks for your offer though.

[timah!]

No worries.

I've got space for one more still.

[Grunt]

So how bad will the Morning traffic for me trying to get out of Brisbane be? Which way is better south and get on Logan Motorway or thru Brisbane/ Ipswich motorway?

[timah!]

What time Grunt? Shouldn't be too bad past 8.30.

[AllanH]

I'm driving up, leaving from Wynnum North an returning on Friday afternoon, can provide a lift for up to 2 if needed

Al

[Grunt]

I think I will be out on the road by around 8.

[timah!]

Shouldn't have many probs.

City GC website has 11.30 start?

[goughy]

Oh, and bring your cash. Not that I've played there in a while, but in the past cash only when paying for your tee time in something like this. I could be wrong, but better to be prepared.

[nudgee]

Nothing to read here

[AndyP]

iain do you still need a lift? otherwise I might as well get a lift with Tim - no point driving up by myself.

Haven't we just organised Iain and I coming up in your car via PM?


Tapatalk is never gonna give you up, Tapatalk is never gonna let you down.
