I'm not fussy. I assume Cairns and the Royal G are off the venue list given our respective memberships. Happy to hear what dates might suit you but early morning tee times are my preference.

How does Half Moon Bay or Mareeba sound as a venue? The thought did cross my mind that we should hook-up with mike and NK but then visions of you and I acting like security on the Jerry Springer show flashed through my head.

Ffs, already!.!.!.! Dcanto, I'm actually ok with Cairns mate. I kicked Tomson in the rear late and I was holding back a bit. I thought it might be a handicapped round and I didn't want to come in too much. (Courty: ignore last sentence!). Early tee time is good for me; Sat or Sun only though.

Dcanto
19th May 2011, 07:52 AM
No worries Sheldon, I'm happy to play at Cairns.

I have a some family commitments on this week-end and the next. How would either Saturday the 4th of June or Sunday the 5th sound teeing off around 7:30am? I have noticed in the Cairns Golf Club newsletter that the 4th is the first round of the club championships but I assume that visitors would still be able to play.

Let me know what you think and we can go from there.

haysey
19th May 2011, 07:54 AM
Play it on the Saturday. Please.

Dcanto

Why??

Sheldon77

7:30 AM, Sat 4th or Sun 5th is fine with me mate. I'll leave you to work out why the Yellow Monster is keen for a Saturday game, but it seems pretty obvious that someone may have a leave pass from the Minister for War and Finance!

haysey
21st May 2011, 12:01 PM
I struggle to get leave passes for Sunday's. Given there's club champs and city of cairns coming up. I don't want to push my luck.

Sheldon to win 3 and 2....if he remembers his incontinence pants.

No worries - I'll make the booking for the 4th and let you know the time. Who wants to join us? Haysey do you want to be the videographer and entertain the OZGolf fraternity with your witty commentary (or do you just want to hang shite on solarman)?

Dcanto, just replied to your PM, but it sounds like there might be other comps et al that you guys might want to play. If you want to postpone until a quieter weekend becomes available, I don't have any dramas with that.

Might have to do that, the timesheet for the 4th will not allow visitors. We can either switch to a Sunday or defer a couple of weeks until the champs are over. I'm happy to defer if that still suits you.

Sheldon77
28th May 2011, 05:53 AM
Yep, that sounds fine Dcanto. If you have your people call my people and we'll organize another time. Or, we can just see when our match would be convenient for Haysey and work around his schedule. :wink:

Hey Dcanto, just a quick update; I'll be playing Club Champs @ Royal G'vale for the next 2 weekends (4 rounds) so if you want to start thinking about a timeslot for one of us to have a crack at Ned, let me know. I'm thinking maybe Yorkeys.

That sounds fine by me. I think HMB have their club champs on this week-end and the next so the first week-end in July would suit me if that works for you. Is Saturday still Ok for you?

Sheldon77

You won't get on between the comp. But there's no reason why you can't play in it. I believe their club champs are this weekend and next weekend.

Just waiting on Sheldon to get back to me to confirm that the 2nd is a goer and then it'll be on like Donkey Kong. Besides, should I make it through to the final I'm saving the best sledges for NK. Then again - even if don't make the final I think NK is still due for a good sledging.

Oh, hello? Sorry; I've been away, I've been chasing down cheaper glass quotes! (That's not really going to fly is it? That would only take a single phone call!) Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons; Dcanto, would you be happy to play at Royal G'vale in my cart off scratch? If you're not, that's absolutely not a drama, I'm just 'really' short on coin, (mortgage, beer, puppies, other mortgage, beer). I'm off 14 and I think you're a bit less. This is not a beat up, just an option. If Mod God (Courty) has an issue, I'm more than happy to play at a neutral venue. Let me know. Again fellas, sorry about the recent absentia.

Ok, G'vale's timesheet bookings won't allow me to book more than one group for myself, but the Minister for W & F will book 0749 and 0756 for me tomorrow. Tangent: Haysey: The course isn't really flash, but it is improving??? The greens are patchy and we are now running a temporary green on 17 (it now plays about 115yds depending on tee marker position) while the new turf takes. The tee times are a couple of groups after the morning comp field. If anyone wants to jump in, just give Lionel a call at the Royal 'G' (4056 3999) and lock your name into the reserved cells. If that's all a bit too much, I'm sure we can just get a running list going here. I'll start....

Dcanto wins 1up.

A close match played in great spirit and with a good time being had by all regardless of how they played. Forgive me if I dribble on a bit but I haven't had to write many match reports before.

I managed to make a quick start going two up after two but got soon pegged back by some very solid play by Sheldon, including a nice birdie on 5. After nine holes the match stood at Sheldon 1up. Sheldon must have been starting to run low on energy and was hanging out for his toasties as I managed to make a comeback and win thre holes in a row to work my way to a 2up lead as we headed to the 15th. An implosion by me on the second shot and third shots (ball OB and into someone's backyard shed) gave Sheldon renewed vigor. A poor tee shot left me with a lot of work to do and while I managed to get my second close to the green Sheldon was in good position on the front edge and hit a solid lag putt to almost gimme distance. Given the state of the match it was a case of everything being putted out. Sheldon's putt lipped out and I managed to keep a 1up lead heading down 17. The 17th at Royal G is a par 3 of about 150 metres but today a temp green was in play. Neither Sheldon nor I hit fantastic tee shots but it was me away and after a knifey chip I was again looking at Sheldon being reasonably close to hole after a solid chip. The unpredictability of the temp green saw Sheldon's putt lip out and I managed to make my putt to square the hole and so we head down 18 (par 5) with Sheldon needing a win to square the ledger. Sheldon had the honour and pulled his tee shot left onto the race track. Much sledging of me followed as I switched from driver to 3 wood and managed to hit a reasonable shot down the right side into rough on one of the mounds. Sheldon's ball was not sitting too bad in the middle of the race track but chose a safer play and hit a nice shot to the middle of the fairway about 110m out. I hit a hybrid to just short of the green and Sheldon's 3rd shot is pulled slightly left of the green. I chip on and two putt and the hole ends up squared.

We both had chances and got our fair share of good (and bad) bouces but it was one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I've played in a while. Thanks Sheldon for the great match and good company, we will have to organise another game soon. While a number of comments were made about the poor state of the greens it was still great fun.
