Wed 28 December - Gungahlin Lakes, Canberra.

[WBennett]

SMS is in town and wants to catch up for a hit. Anyone else possibly in Canberra on the 28th?
Let me know if you are interested and I'll see what I can do for a booking


SMS - 37 points
wbennett - 28
Grunt - 22

TG scratched. Jerry Springer scratched at barrier.

[Grunt]

Just looked at my Roster and I can possibly make, just have to check what the rest of the families plans are.

[Dotty]

Oh yeah!

Quite fitting that we get a game on the third day of the year and the third last day.

[Sydney Hacker]

I might be a rough chance of this, just depends on a couple of things happening at work and if I will be on leave or not. When do you need to know buy, and what sort of time would you be looking to tee off?

[sms316]

Road trip!!!

One game on Christmas Eve in Albury and then up to Canberra for a few days. As much as I would have liked to pull a third game in Sydney it was too much to negotiate.

[WBennett]

TG is also keen. I have lined up with the golf manager to get two groups, either around 8:45am or 11am depending on time.I'll need golflink no's and details PM'd to me by about the 10th of December at the latest. I may also be looking for a hit in Sydney on Boxing Day, as I have commitments that night at Parramatta. I have recips at New Brighton and Glenmore, or happy to play elsewhere.

[mudrat]

Hmmmm have to check family plans as we are usually down the coast Boxing Day into the new year......... if I'm still around on Boxing Day I m happy to host at New Brighton.

[KristianJ]

Pencil me in for Boxing Day, Benno. I'll check and see if Glenmore are considering a comp that day.

EDIT: If mudrat's around, do New Brighton. I'll be in on it too.

[tg01]

I'll play if Dotty and Gruntbag play...I have an empty space on my trophy cabinet "Screw Antarctia we beat them in the ACT" waiting for the opportunity to filled.

[Grunt]

Challenge Accepted!!!

[Dotty]

TG, that would be like Fremantle and Cronulla's trophy cabinet.
I'm there and wasn't Federal in ACT?

ps. Benno, if your Boxing Day plans fall through, you are still welcome at the course up the road from the speedway.

[WBennett]

thanks Dottie, i have from the 16th off for a month so plenty of golf is planned
i will try for another round up the road if things line up

[Grunt]

I might be able to join you for Boxing day too, if the planets align.

[tg01]

TG, that would be like Fremantle and Cronulla's trophy cabinet.

DOn't worry about my cabinet its claiming a few scalps, ehh benno?

You are correct, Federal is in the ACT, but I lost that day.

[Grunt]

You are correct, Federal is in the ACT, but I lost that day.

Lost? is that a strong enough word for it?

[WBennett]

Jerry Springer is in - we have 6. Can we find two more?

[WBennett]

OK, I think we have 7 with Mrs Jerry Springer in as well after her and Jerry joined GLGC.Do we have an 8th?Sydney Hacker, SMS, Grunter, Dotty - can you pm me your Golflink No's? We can do either early (9ish) or 11ish - let me know your preference.

[Dotty]

PM sent, and I'm easy with either tee-time option.

Isn't that 8 golfers, with you, Tourettes, 2 Springers, SH, Grunt, me and Officer Dibble?

[Sydney Hacker]

Sorry WB, I forgot all about this. With the changes of employment happening in the new year I have brought forward my trip to Scurvey Bay in Qld and will be going over xmas/new years this year instead of Jan. so I will have to pull out of this.

[sms316]

Either tee time for me. Pencil in chrisogigolo. The useless **** is off camping over Christmas but indicated that he might be back in time.

[Grunt]

either tee time is ok with me.

[Dotty]

Sorry Benno, but cross me out.

I didn't interpret a client's 'Can you cover for a staff shortage in January?' to mean 'Can you cover from Christmas Eve?'.

Too much in annual standby allowance, to risk being out-of-range.

[WBennett]

Dotty

Sad to hear... I might have to organise a day trip to Sydney to catch up once the kids are back in daycare - or perhaps Boxing Day if that is an option for you?

I've tentatively booked the two groups as required, but if we are going to be short on numbers for teh 28th, I can pare it back to one (and friends)

[WBennett]

Got a confirmation message today- we have the 11 and 11:08 groupings, making it a comfy drive for Grunt rather than a 5am start :)

If anyone else is available and keen, I have two spots free at this stage.

[sms316]

Good stuff. Hope they still sell beer at Gungahlin.

[WBennett]

WE have 6 locked in - anyone know two others in Canberra or surrounds keen to play? Becaben, feel like a day trip?

[tg01]

Benno

I may be an out, looks like I might be driving other peoples kids around all day on ski tubes...I should know in a day or so

[sms316]

Fkn hell. Still snowing down there? Shall I pack the Stones? :lol:

[WBennett]

Soon it will be just SMS and me.
If that is the case, get a lift there.....

[Grunt]

I'm still in

[WBennett]

Glad to hear Grunter!

[WBennett]

Angry Hairy Man

You in or out?

[sms316]

We warming up in the top bar or bottom bar?

[WBennett]

Bottom bar won't be open - so top bar it is. I have not been upstairs since the last renovation was opened (last week) so I'll be interested to see how close they got to finishing it before having 400 people booked in for Christmas lunch!

We are first group in the afternoon field so should get through in ok time assuming the socials off 10 keep their arses moving

[sms316]

I see that Sureshot has a couple of different maps of GL to dowload. Has anything major happened there in the last couple of years?

[WBennett]

Tees are in the same places, greens are in the same places. The trees have all doubled in size and they added 30 bunkers 3 or 4 years ago.

Other than that, nothing has changed.

[sms316]

Sweet. I'll have shit loads. That certainly hasn't changed.

Now, off to Yowani to escape the in laws.

[Grunt]

Should be there around 10:30
Will see you then.

[Grunt]

You will love this SMS...

The Womens captain has joined our group this evening....

And Raiders Premiership hero Mark Bell is in the group behind.

Spit roast?

I played with a woman today off 40 who had 25 points. It will be a step up.

[WBennett]

she is off about 14 and can play a bit. wouldnt be a day under fifty though

The weather is looking good, the course is in great nick, so i will see you at top bar around 1030

[sms316]

Thanks to Benno and Grunter for the game. They're both ****ing hopeless,

[Grunt]

Thanks to Benno and Grunter for the game. They're both ****ing hopeless,

That's not fair to those that are hopeless. I am way worse than that.
Thanks for the game guys. Liked the track even though I only saw it from the rough. I putted ok I think.

[sms316]

Should add that it was a typically balmy day in Canberra. It was 15 degrees when we hit off.

sms 37
benwah 29
grunter 23

[WBennett]

Thanks boys, it was good fun.

SMS hit a loopy hook all day, and Grunt sprayed it around like a curry through a sick Indian.

Highlight was Grunt and myself hitting each others balls on the 16th - stopped our flying comebacks dead!


sms- you mongrel, you have my bottle opener!

[Grunt]

Where r the pics benno?
