Post your thoughts here.

For me, I reckon choppa is due. He was runner up in the first champs in 2004 and has never been too far away. As a bonus, he's actually played a few games of golf this year, so will be coming into the champs luke warm. ;)

Daves is all over it like a fat kid over a cupcake.

AndyP
16th August 2011, 08:59 AM
If he has played a few games, he'll have expectations. This won't be a good thing.

I look forward to playing the Champs off a handicap of 11 or 12.

PeteyD
16th August 2011, 09:03 AM
Must be my best chance this year ;)

Iain

He'll get wasted on Saturday night and have no chance of making it Sunday.

Haven't you been off 11-12 for the past few champs ?

AndyP
16th August 2011, 09:44 AM
Not after being off 8 though.
A little less wind this year would be nice.

BrisVegas

Ahh, ok gotcha. You must be the favourite this year then with all those extra shots!


A little less wind this year would be nice.

There was wind last year? I must have missed it, being underwater for most of the weekend and all. If it's windy this year, then surely a nunchuck fanboi will be a strong chance. :roll:

I'll update my Champs Rankings spreadsheet with last year's results to see if any of the regular performers dropped off.

The Cup wants to fly and Bruce could be the man.

BrisVegas

Hard to believe this will be the 8th ozgolf champs for a few of us!

Bruce

Holy Crap - this will be my 6th.

AndyP

Hard to believe this will be the 8th ozgolf champs for a few of us!Five of us, after Blake and jarro missed last year. Brisvegas, Iain, AndyP, damoocow and Eag's.

Missed one: Blake, Choppa, shazza, jarro, peter_rs

Missed two: Bruce, Rusty, poidda, dc68, nudgee, shavey, PeteyD

AndyP

Both poidda and Rusty are missing this year too.

Did Vegas start this thread to detract attention from himself? Almost unbackable for a top ten finish.
Vegas Champs results starting from 2004: 5th, 4th, 21st, 1st, 9th, 3rd, 6th.

The following are going to have do something special to pull their names off the lower half of the results list for 2011, based on previous results (and known facts):
Solarman, Haysey, just, CobraSS, GC, Jono, Solarman, golfer69, Courty, any interstater on debut (it's just too overwhelming), Solarman.

Besides those, anyone could win it, but the following should be right up there:
petethepilot: Won't have a bad round and is fit this time around. He's coming off a win in '09 and 5th last year.
kpac: I don't know how he does it considering the lack of golf he plays coming into the Champs sometimes, but he has finished 6th, 2nd and 12th in the past.
BrisVegas: As above and has plenty of experience on punishing golf courses.
Bruce: Always in the running, and only the weather stopped another top 10 last year after a solid first round. 3rd, 13th, 3rd, 9th, 19th.
sms316: If he plays, he would be in the top 3 faves. Home track and has champs results of 27th, 6th, 2nd. Good for a place, but may be destined to be a perennial first loser.

And one of these was for a birth (KV) and I possibly weren't aware of the inagural (CTH?).

To a lesser extent, glad I could trade off my golf and hotel contacts to assist with some reduced rates the past 5 years. Gotta get something to offset the pay!

Interesting that you didn't include Iain and choppa in your picks. Iain's results are pretty much the same as mine, yet you singled me out. choppa needs to get the right balance of alcohol and he's a red hot chance.

Suprising to see just in the lower finishers. Seems like he wins everything lately. Mustn't transfer well to the champs? Much like the FNQ mob.... :wink:

Most of you probably haven't had the pleasure of playing with him yet but BroKar.

He is really starting to hit his straps and with a 16 H/C could be very dangerous.

just
16th August 2011, 01:40 PM
I suck at the champs and golflink tells me I've only played 12 rounds of golf this year. Still if I play a few rounds before the champs and get the handicap out by a few strokes more, this could be my year.

BrisVegas

He came dead last at Pac Harbour the other week. However, he's admitted defeat and is getting lessons as we speak. Anything's possible. :wink:

I rate my performances so far as only due to laziness and a desire to sleep in. Play well on Saturday and be in the later groups.
Then fall apart as the round grinds to a halt behind all you slow bastards.

No one rates the defending champ? I guess no one has ever managed to defend, so the odds are against?.The defending Champ is a 20-ish handicapper. Too unpredictable and only burglars with handicaps in the teens can defend championship titles. But I may reassess after I play ambrose with him on the weekend.

Vegas, I'd prefer to list 5 favourites rather than 10. Iain is down the ratings list from yourself. Here's Iain's results. 1st, 15th, 7th, 28th, 7th, 9th, 12th. They are good results, but not as impressive as yours. Peter_rs's results are similar to Iain's and Blakey is thereabouts also.

You have 3rd and 6th at Pelican alone. You're a gun player at the Champs and will be in the final two groups.

BrisVegas

Nobody has defended a champs yet and only one (low) teen handicapper has won a champs so far, Iain.

Maybe it's time you (AndyP) picked up the one ozgolf title that's eluded you so far. You said yourself, you've drifted out a few shots from the heady days of playing off 8. This could be your best chance yet.

Eag's
16th August 2011, 03:57 PM
I think the winner will come from someone none of you have listed yet. At the Champs anyone can win so my money is on a roughy.

dc68
16th August 2011, 04:26 PM
Fat guts to win... If he plays.

kpac
16th August 2011, 04:54 PM
I can't win. No hope - Someone collects near 40pts on at least one of the days, and i haven't achieved that since........ well since a 38 at pelican 2 years back, and even then, needed to go better than handicap to have a shot on the sunday. I give myself a good chance to be in the top few as the course (all bar a couple of holes) suits my eye pretty well. There are a couple of holes i need to figure out.

My money would be on anyone i can see producing 40pts. which includes, but not limited to. Choppa, Rusty, Just, that i can think of. I've played less golf this year than any of the last 5. So i'll be lucky to make a place.

Sporting the same setup bar the putter for the 3rd year.

That's the stuff of dreams, BV. I'd love just to be in a position to win it. That would be fun.

My chance may have been last year when I was the fave. Gailes robbed me of a shot, I played well the Fri/Sat, but didn't have the game for the Sunday. I fear that the best my grandpa game can get around Pelican is a few over handicap.

Alas, I think I wasted my best chances in the early years on good times and booze.

I will be using the same kit as last year that I bought for $40.

Palmer Bay Hill 1,3 & 5 wood. Driver has 185cc head
Brosnan Tour Classics 2-sw

This idiot loves them
Model Reviewed:
Mojo

Summary:
I have spent alot of my golf career in the woods looking for my ball. In fact i have never purchased golf balls, i play with what was in the bag when my father gave me his clubs. Last week i found a Nike Mojo ball in great condition, i liked the name and figured why not, and used it for my drop. Not only did i play the back nine on that course with that Mojo, but i tee'd it up on the next outing and played it all the way to the 17th hole on that course! I have never had such straight drives and good touch around and on the green. I will be purchasing a box of them soon as my first purchased golf balls! I am a Nike Golf believer now!

19th August 2011, 05:52 PM
OK, I had a good think about this today my top 5 below.

1. Hux - Everyone knows he is off a silly Hcp, but he can get it around, the putter will make or break his Champs.
2. Bruce - Ultra consistent and as long as he is banned from driving the cart, should be right up there again this year.
3. Nudgee - Can shoot lights out when he is on, as long as he has avoided the spicy food the night before he could shit it in.
4. DC - Is capable of playing great golf while consuming enough Jimmy to kill 10 men, as long as the toads stay out of sight he will give this a shake.
5. Damo - Another one who is on a bullshit silly Hcp and I think may be due this year. Most of the time he behaves on the Sat night drink fest, so that alone will put him miles ahead of the pack.

sms316
19th August 2011, 07:19 PM
Much more open this year as the course isn't playing anywhere near as long as last year. 3 woods are going further now than where driver went 12 months ago. 20 bunkers will have been removed by the time the Champs are on, not that half of them would be noticed anyway.

At some point I should post the changes. I've got them saved on Adobe, but posting them on here might be a PITA due to file size.

1. Alter ‘Best 10 of 20’ to ‘Best 8 of 20’.

2. Change the Bonus for Excellence multiplier from 0.96 to 0.93.

3. Introduce an Anchor which will prevent a player’s handicap from increasing any more than 4 strokes beyond their best exact handicap from the previous 12-month rolling period.

4. Golf Link will cap the score that goes into a player’s handicap record at no more than 50 (women) and 40 (men) over the course rating

Retrospective for both calculation and anchor.

The "Anchor" will be for lowest handicap in the last 12 months.

However since neither of us takes the champs serious as anything other than an opportunity to (eat), drink and be merry I think I will leave the contest open to those who take it somewhat more serious.

Dude, I'm honest. Trust me, I'm a doctor. ;)

But seriously, at no stage did I purposely waste shots in order to get my handicap up. As those who have played with me since my surgery know, I've been scoring consistently in the low 20's. The surgeon seems to have taken away my ability to hit the ball anywhere near straight and the little amount of putting ability I had is gone. :(

I'll work hard to get my handicap down to a more respectable level before the champs, but I can only try.

I'm no hope - the bloody handicap was crunched by 1.5 by the new system. So i'm playing off 2 less than last year.

Given everyone has moved I think 70 points might be the winning score this year.
