Queens Birthday Friday

[tommyg]

Anyone keen for a hit this friday? Its a public holiday so perfect time for a game. Im happy to play anywhere.... and new bag set-up to test out. Anyone keen?

[Yossarian]

Got a cricket golf day, sorry mate!

[rubin]

Why not mate. Anywhere in mind?

[tommyg]

wherever... Have to be morning though. Wherever we can get on really. Might be hard to get a tee time...

Have u ever played rocko? Easy to get on there. Otherwise, would be looking at probably burswood, wembley etc.

[tommyg]

Havent played there since probably 99. I could be up for that.
I dont know why this has gone to italics, but the mrs has me penned in for a barbie at 3ish so an earlyish start would be good.

That's cool mate. I'll let you know tomorrow. I would guess about 8 - 8.30

[Bruce Dickinson]

Old Course is booked for the whole day, spots available on the Tuart around 11.44 and 12.30

That doesn't surprise me, the Tuart has improved but the Old Course is still the best.

[rubin]

Tommy - if your fine with it, we can tee-off at some stage before 8. The old blokes have a comp they run on fridays thats starts at 8, so it would be best for us to get in before them (apparently if we get caught during or after them it could be a 6+ hour round - quite a social hit by the sounds of it).

[Bruce Dickinson]

I prefer the Tuart but I'm in the minority.

[tommyg]

Thanks Bruce but we're heading to rocko...

I like the both the old and tuart for different reasons. I'm still very disappointed every time I play the 4th on the old now though. Whoever made the decision to cut down that beautiful old tree on the right of the fairway better have a good reason. I hope it wasn't just to speed up play.... It should have been heritage listed

The tree was dead, it had pyhtophera and ammarilla and declined rapidly in the space of 6 months or so. The cost to take tree down that size is considerable and hence its not done without good reason...

[tommyg]

What a shame.... That hole seems to me like it's missing something now. The tree was a beauty, and messed with many a second shot...

[rubin]

7.45am at Rocko if anyone else is keen on joining us. Course is in pretty good shape at the moment as well.

Its something we are working on. We now take infrared photos annually of the whole property to identify problem trees/areas and track their progress. A lot of the big Tuarts in particular are now tagged and mapped, and given treatments of fungicide and fertilisers as required.

I'm keen rubin, pencil for me.

[rubin]

no worries 'nut.

[Golfnut]

Any chance of getting away a bit earlier lads?

[rubin]

Basically - as long as we are off before 8 we are sweet. I'm happy for 7.30, and without a hold up, 4hrs will do it easily.

I'll leave it up to u.

[tommyg]

730 fine by me too

That hole is so much better without the tree!

[Golfnut]

Bring back the tree!

[Yossarian]

Too add some risk reward no doubt.

[Golfnut]

I can't ever remember playing my 2nd and not hitting that ****en tree.

[rubin]

Ok then. 7.30 it is. I'll let them know.

I can't for the life of me remember which tree ur talking about?

[Yossarian]

The one that isn't there anymore.

[rubin]

The one that isn't there anymore.

Well done captain obvious.

[Yossarian]

I had my first eagle there.

[Bruce Dickinson]

We've got the plaque arranged... Not quite bronze but blue plastic is fetching

[Yossarian]

:lol:

Put it where the tree was!

[Golfnut]

:lol:

As long as it's not fixed to a pole as I'm sure I'll hit it no matter how thin it is.

[TourFit]

You're not that good...

[Golfnut]

Figjam

[Zeusgolf]

Wish it wasn't in Rocko.....i fear for my safety...

[rubin]

It's not that bad at all mate. To be honest kb is worth.

[Zeusgolf]

Don't get me started on KB ask Adlo and JC...

I almost went in swinging with my wedge on three different occasions when i was a member.....on one occasion is was the prison day release greens keeper.

[Golfnut]

It's not that bad at all mate. To be honest kb is worth.

Agreed.

[Yossarian]

Never had an issue at KB. Maybe it is you guys.

[rubin]

Never had an issue at KB. Maybe it is you guys.

I never actually had a problem - just the potential for a problem was a lot more real than at rocko.

[Yossarian]

I doubt it.

[tommyg]

So are you gonna join us zeus? Golfnut will protect you.

[hocko]

I will make the fourth if that's OK?

[tommyg]

Fine by me.... looking to tee of at 730

[rubin]

I will make the fourth if that's OK?

Feel free mate. 7.30 were off (or thereabouts).

[hocko]

Feel free mate. 7.30 were off (or thereabouts).
What? No "Shit Hocko it would be great if you could play"
See ya there.

[tommyg]

We're truly honoured gumby-man... see you there

[rubin]

What? No "Shit Hocko it would be great if you could play"
See ya there.

Thought about it ;)

[hocko]

Thanks guys it makes me feel much better.
Skins?

[rubin]

Thanks guys it makes me feel much better.
Skins?

Might as well practice losing money now ;)

$1 a hole, $1 NTP's?

[tommyg]

As long as youre not playing off 36

[rubin]

As long as youre not playing off 36

The official card says 21.7.

But UC keeps saying I'm on 36. That's what I was going to play off for champs! ;)

[MegaWatty]

37

[rubin]

37

U can't play off a 37.

[MegaWatty]

In a club comp you can.

[Golfnut]

I'm oot for skins.....not playing much golf at all atm, it will be like taking candy from a baby.

[rubin]

Welcome to my world. I find it's just easier to pay before the round ;)

[MegaWatty]

That's ****en so ghey! Un-Australian as well.

Rubes, kudos for backing yourself!

[Golfnut]

Welcome to my world. I find it's just easier to pay before the round ;)

Haven't touched a club in 2 weeks and Rocko is a good test even when you are hitting it well......I'd rather just enjoy the round and shout everyone a drink after.

[Golfnut]

Button pushed?

[MegaWatty]

Oh yeah! Where's that UC **** to get my back here? ;)

Mate, lucky u weren't playing in the group I was in a few weeks ago. These guy played bits. And one bloke can potentially earn 12 bits per hole. ****ing stupid rules they played with this. I had no idea so said that I'd pass, one of the guys owed $60 at the end of the round. (got to 18 and pushed double or nothing)

[MegaWatty]

Skins would likely be cheaper!

[Golfnut]

Skins would likely be cheaper!

Than a jug at Rocko???

[MegaWatty]

Do u get 4 pints out of a jug?

[Golfnut]

Do u get 4 pints out of a jug?

Easily, if I pour.

[MegaWatty]

Hahahahaha. Tight arse. ;)

[rubin]

Than a jug at Rocko???

There is one hole where a jug is a very real possibility. The ladies tees are almost 100m in front of the men's some days.

But he is right.

[hocko]

I didn't think a wager was that much of a big deal.
Nut, you are a pussy...i haven't hit a ball in a fortnight either and i have to give a hell of a lot more shots than you!

[Johnny Canuck]

Homo.

Homo.

Did I mention, homo?

I want to play in this now that I know there are skins.

The pouring comment was gold Nut, but you're still a homo.

:smt023

[rubin]

I think skins. Nut at the most you might be paying $8. Cheaper than the jugs u would be buying afterwards

[tommyg]

I dont have a handicap... i'll just play off rubins.

[Zeusgolf]

Hope they are plastic jugs....

[Johnny Canuck]

I like jugs.

[hocko]

I am out, have to head to Bunbury this morning.

[rubin]

Scores-
Rubin - 41
TommyG - 37
Nut - 27.

[Nuffie]

Well played rubes, good form heading into tomorrow. That will be interesting.

[Shadesy]

On fire Lubes!! Great shooting tex!

You too Tommy!

Well done on turning up Nut!

[tommyg]

Had a ball guys... thanks heaps for getting us on rubin. My car didnt even get broken into...

And its a mystery to me how rubin is of 22. I think hes sharking us all for the champs.

As i dont have a handicap i think i'll play off 22 aswell.

[rubin]

Dreaming tommy :) we gave u 17 and u still shot 37 points.

[idgolfguy]

Russian stableford tomorrow, please bring the same game.

[rubin]

I'll see what I can do. ;)

I get that feeling about Lubes as well.

When I saw him at the range, his swing looked pretty solid. Not the swing of a 37 marker.

So does that mean I'm off 37 for champs?

I must have been channeling the "inner ricky" today mate, after ur comment on the first.

[Johnny Canuck]

17. I'm the official handicapper.


Tommyg gets 13

[rubin]

17. I'm the official handicapper.

Tommyg gets 13

I'll take Golf Australia's official handicap.

I wold say TommyG would be a 16/17 capper.

[Shadesy]

Ive drifted back to 12, I think I could get out to 13 in 2 weeks ;-)

[tommyg]

Why dont we take the average of today and next week at the vines.... then add a couple cause im rubbish with a hangover and i will drink my bodyweight in beer each night at the champs so will be no threat to anyone.... 13 JC? if i take your money next week then maybe. but for now.... pffft

[Johnny Canuck]

10 it is!

[tommyg]

average of these 2 games plus 10... thats generous. Thanks jc.

[Johnny Canuck]

plus 10 sounds good.

[tommyg]

wow jc. You havent met me or seen me play but your already cowering to my awesomeness. I guess you can sense a champ in the making. You must be very intuitive. Ive never met an intuitive canadian before. Except for maybe one kilted yaksman from back east eh

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm a positive guy.

[Yossarian]

DOn't you have a WAGL handicap tommy?

[tommyg]

DOn't you have a WAGL handicap tommy?
