27th August - Paradise Palms - 8.00 am

Dcanto

What's the rush?

Dcanto
2nd July 2011, 02:59 PM
It's you and I NK.:mrgreen:

Ned
2nd July 2011, 03:11 PM
Sea Temple ?

Dcanto
3rd July 2011, 07:16 PM
Sea Temple ?

Paradise Palms?

Ned
3rd July 2011, 07:19 PM
Paradise Palms?


Pass.

Dcanto
3rd July 2011, 07:27 PM
I'd prefer somewhere closer to home than Sea Temple. Family commitments mean that the lesser amount of travel time the better.

Ned
3rd July 2011, 07:29 PM
I'd prefer somewhere closer to home than Sea Temple. Family commitments mean that the lesser amount of travel time the better.

Me too.

Either way I still have to travel further then you, so if travel and coin involved then Sea Temple represents the best.

Dcanto
3rd July 2011, 07:42 PM
Sea Temple represents the best chance for me to win.

Fixed that for you. :razz:

Leave it with me and I'll get back to you.

Ned
3rd July 2011, 07:44 PM
Fixed that for you. :razz:

Leave it with me and I'll get back to you.

Meh..................excuses, lets go play Mossman, Atherton, Millaa, Ravenshoe, Mount Garnet, Innisfail, Babinda, El Arish, Tully, Cardwell.

Composite course?

haysey
3rd July 2011, 08:22 PM
Composite course?


Add in Cairns, HalfMoon Bay, Mareeba and Gordonvale and they could play one hole at each.

Ned

Back in your box!

haysey

With the final 2 holes at Bramston Beach Caravan park.

Dcanto

With the final 2 holes at Bramston Beach Caravan park.

You left out the par 3 course at the Palm Cove Novotel! :wink:

In all honesty it doesn't bother me where we play so long as it is a neutral venue, and as mentioned before, for family reasons courses closer to home are a preference.

I'd be happy to play at Babinda if you were genuinely interested. Wouldn't hurt to throw some coin the way of one of our region's smaller clubs. Not sure how many other FNQ Ozgolfers would want to join us though.

Babinda would be good but 2.5 hour drive for me seriously.

If you want quality and equal travel time then Sea Temple.

Id play at Cairns but its a 1.5 hour get their time from Mareeba.

Courty

Don't forget the par 3 course at the Smithfield driving range. ;)

Dcanto

Why no love for PP or HMB Ned? Your travel time would be even less to both those courses.

Come on you 2.
Played at Paradise Palms on Friday and it is really good (fairways and greens). All us defeated guys want to have a round there soon and this would be perfect for the final.

Otherwise go to El Arish.

Ned
11th July 2011, 12:32 PM
Back to haysey's office to annoy him now NAGA!

I'm happy to play at Paradise Palms - it's Ned you'll have to convince ;)

In terms of timing for this I don't think I'll be available till towards the end of August due to family and other commitments.

I like that idea. I really enjoyed playing there in the Millaa Millaa open last year.

We should organize a game there anyhow.

I'll be on the Gold Coast with the family (hopefully not getting abducted, mugged, molested, shot or stabbed) ;)

What's your hurry?

I'm keen for a hit at Milaa Milaa if it is before mid August (and not on City of Cairns weekend); after that I am back at sea...

We do have until the 2nd of October (or possibly longer with Mod Courty's indulgence). If Ned has his little heart set on playing at Sea Temple that's fine, we'll get something organised in due course.

By the way, what is your handicap now after your win up at Mossman?

I'm just starting to warm up - there are some ex-banker jokes I haven't tried out yet.

I'm off 13. I don't think 1 stroke is going to be enough to give me any comfort given how little I play at the moment compared to you.

Careful with the CPA jokes - I ended up as CPA FNQ Branch President (nobody else wanted to do it) so I have to defend the honour of our organisation. :)
Ahh.. who am I kidding - Accountants are an easy target.

A link to my Golflink is in my sig. I'm lucky if I play once a month at the moment, which would be significantly less than you. :wink:

Brett,

the greens may be sweet but, it's a sh^%$t course.... I can only take my friggin driver on about 3 holes, have to hit irons on so many of them it ain't funny.... What kinda golf course is that??

I hate the place....... Doesn't suit my game at all.... And no, I don't feel like changing my approach to the game!! If you can't bomb and gouge, I don't wanna play...

Finesse.... what the hell does that mean...??:lol:

I think it was Lee Trevino that said "I love you Merion, and I don't even know your last name".

I don't care what the course - I just love it when I actually get out to have a hit.

Outcast,

No, I did not know that! I just find I get bored at HMB because there are very few opportunities to open the shoulders. Also, I struggle with the right angled dogleg hole; I take a 6 iron and still hit thru the fwy into the water. It just seems wrong to hit a 7 iron off the tee on a par 4!

Courty: I like to provide 'moral' support to our fellow competitors but, prefer to do so on courses I like!!

Sorry I don't get this.
The beauty of HMB is that you have to think hard about every tee shot. Hit down the middle and it's a moderately easy course. Have an off day and you'll raise the bat. Cairns, Mareeba, G'vale etc you automatically reach for the driver on any hole that isn't a par 3. I call that boring.

The right hand dogleg hole (13) and the short par 4 5th are absolute gems.

mike
14th July 2011, 06:00 PM
And the carbon tax won't make a shred of difference to global warming, even if global warming is caused by human intervention.

Which it isn't.

See, now you had to go and mention the 'think' word...., now I'm embarrassed...

You've played with me, do you really think there is much 'thinkin' going on up there??

Why do you have to say such mean things to me.....:smt087

mike
14th July 2011, 07:50 PM
You're a bomber, not a thinker. No shame there.

At HMB I'd say you'd hit driver on 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15 and 17. Am I right?

Outcast
14th July 2011, 08:55 PM
To be honest, I cannot remember which holes I take driver on; I think you may have listed a few too many.

There are two longish par 5's I take driver on and about two par fours I feel comfortable taking driver on... I think that's about it

You're the district president and the handicapper at the club where the event was held. I thought you might know. :roll:

Not having a go at you. Just curious as to why it's a non-handicapped event. Doesn't make sense to me.

Is it always non-handicapped?

22nd July 2011, 01:08 PM

Bit like questions being asked about some nett 58's and 59's by other Club members.

I don't know about that. I haven't been at the club much this year.

Anyway I wrote to the FNQ. I await their reply.

Dcanto
15th August 2011, 09:23 PM
NK, can you let me know what dates you have available and we can make this thing happen?

Family holidays, City of Cairns and a work trip to Townsville are all now done & dusted so I am reasonably flexible with regards to dates - provided I get enough notice (although the 10th & 11th of September are out as I will be a sole parent that week-end).

What say you?

As much as I'd love to play in this, I've instead chosen to be dragged behind a 4WD over a gravel road on my way to the dentist where I'll be having an anaesthetic-free tooth extraction, all the while listening to Kasey Chambers on my ipod.

Good luck Dave.

Thanks for the round, NK & DCanto. And thanks all for donating some cash my way. I may have to make another visit to GPP tonight. ;)
As much as I love the layout at PP, I was reminded today why I don't pay $89 to play it very often. I would have thought that with the recent weather and the Club Champs being scheduled, that it would be in tip-top condition. However, it fell a bit short, particularly the bunkers and putting surfaces. Anyhow, it was still an enjoyable day.

Is it just me, or does everyone else feel this way?

Dcanto
