Have had a phone around and for various reasons it looks like the next get together will be held at Blackwood GC, a nice course that's not really that far out of the city!

Will go for a Sunday morning but what with Christmas fast approaching, ( :( ), and people tending to be busy this time of year I am not sure of when to schedule - before/after Chrissy, thoughts please!?

'nadg'

Due to a couple of forum members now playing at BGC regularly, (having joined), combined with the upcoming 'Matchplay' series I don't really think there is much point in pursuing this. Once the 'Matchplay' has happened will then look at arranging a get-together somewhere.

Any chance Nadbag will play the whole round? Or just the holes he has interest in again? :roll:
11th...hmmmmm..may be tough as I'm playing in Melb on the 12th but it's prob the best date.

No free weekends in dec for me.

Who is up for a twilight midweek 9 hole comp at the pat in the next couple of weeks? Could have a 5.30 hit off, Maybe even make it a 4 club challenge!!

I'll struggle to get a round in before Christmas, as we have to finish off our backyard for Christmas Day

Next tuesday after work I was planning on heading to the Pat range if any of you guys want to join me, not fussed if I play or just practice

A little birdie told me they're offering a bus deal where they'll drive 15 players from Adelaide to Pt Hughes, 9 holes plus a feed & back home for $50 per player.
Interested?

Now that we've all had our fill of Christmas cheer (and also given its the first time I've seen this particular thread) how about we start the discussion again on the next meeting?

I saw the Port Hughes voucher but didn't pick one up, however the $50 deal sounds like a great idea.

Flavzz

If the Blackwood game goes ahead I'll be happy with that as I'm now a member there :) Joined up just this week. They have a promo on, check their website for details..

Any idea on a date for this game now?

An exceptional deal - well done. Did you get the Advantage card with it as well?? Now you can master the trees there as well as the Vines

Flavzz

Yes the advantage card included Jas. Always liked Blackwood So it's a win win for me!

I'll be getting a few arvo rounds in this week for sure

Flavzz
2nd January 2012, 08:35 PM
They don't like u man :)

So u just joined up there too? Looks as if we will have to organize a meet and greet hit.

Chilled
2nd January 2012, 08:46 PM
Yep, certainly did, deal was far too good to miss. But the thing is that the pro shop guy said it comes with club advantage, then the pro shop manager (or some other guy working out the back) pipes up and said no it doesn't come with club advantage. What the? So I thought that was a bit strange.

I don't think it's fair to be offering it to some and not to others.

Meet and greet sounds good! on holidays for the next three weeks so any time you can get out let me know (some days like saturday and Wednesdays will be out though as I play elsewhere).

I had a very unhappy comp round this morning, played with two young guys (C grade I think) and one of them was swearing his head off (I didn't bother to say anything) and throwing clubs all over the place, he actually bent one too. It didn't help my game and put me right off, can't play with that sort of crap. Anyways, my experience with the members has been excellent so far, they've been very inviting and very social.....so it's been wonderful.

timinsa
2nd January 2012, 09:00 PM
If you're getting membership that cheap it's understandable that it comes without some things that full paying members get. Next time I see Flavzz I'll tear his up for you.
I would have given the kid who was chucking his bats a serve the second time he fired up. Tossbag.
I think I'm going to have a hit up there on Wed.

Tim I'm going Wednesday arvo if u want to come. Prob around 1-1.30 after I finish work. Chilled I have the weekend off as well so if u want to organize a hit fri/sat/sun let me know.

As far as club advantage goes the guy in the office said we will get it but I haven't got it yet so who knows.

Chilled
3rd January 2012, 07:58 AM
As far as club advantage goes the guy in the office said we will get it but I haven't got it yet so who knows.Well because it's the crissy period the admin staff have not been around the office apparently, so no member info pack has been sent out yet. I'm itching to get it because then I can go online to book games rather than always calling the office.

Sunday could be a goer.

timinsa

Kenty is probably in too for Wed arvo.

I would have given the kid who was chucking his bats a serve the second time he fired up. Tossbag.Unfortunately now it's earned me a "No Score - Not Approved" score which has affected my H/C because no card entered by me : ( His antics put me right off, and I did not fix it on the day, so looks like I'm stuck with it....grrrrr.

But anyways, got my Blackwood pack delivered yesterday, seems like slightly restricted booking times for us provisional members.

Flavzz
4th January 2012, 08:24 AM
I haven't received anything yet, what's all this restricted booking times?

Chilled
4th January 2012, 04:52 PM
I haven't received anything yet, what's all this restricted booking times?Seems to be a slightly restricted membership which I wasn't aware of. No bookings on sat before 3pm or sunday before midday. All detailed in the letter they send out.

Flavzz
4th January 2012, 05:34 PM
U got to be f'ing kidding me. What kind of 7 day is that. That's what u call a 5 day. Seriously not cool.

Flavzz
4th January 2012, 05:55 PM
I understand we got a huge reduction in what full members pay but I was not informed of any terms and conditions upon joining. Pretty frustrating that's all.

nadg63
4th January 2012, 07:07 PM
Ok, it was a 'cheap' deal BUT would have thought that BGC would have explained it a bit more clearly - doubt I would have taken it with those restrictions, as you say Flavzz it's just a 5-day membership really!

Are you able to get out of it - if that's what you want?

Flavzz
4th January 2012, 07:34 PM
Not sure yet nadge. Still a reasonable deal but not what I thought I signed up for. What I was told is 7 days play as much as u want. That's a lot different from what is stated above.

Chilled
4th January 2012, 07:39 PM
No way I'd cancel, still a wonderful deal. I don't think it was adequately explained however. All that as said was it was full membership without club advantage.

Anyways, here is the exact times you can book:

Monday - full playing rights
Tuesday - Women only until 12:30
Wednesday - Men only until 2:30pm
Thursday - full playing rights
Friday - full playing rights
Saturday - after 3:00pm*
Sunday - after 11:30am*

* For earlier tee times, you may book after 3:00pm on the Friday immediately prior to Saturday or Sunday if playing spots are available.

This is why I say it is a full membership but is "slightly" restricted and I think that's fair enough given the price - full paying members have preference on peak times like saturday and sunday mornings, every other time is open. As nadg said above, this should have been explained prior to signing as you are not told anywhere of the playing times before signing up, that I can recall.

I'm playing there three days a week at the moment so by the end of my holidays I will have my $800 bucks worth already :D....then I will have the rest of the year plus holidays next crissy plus three months into 2013. So I WILL get my money's worth guaranteed.....!

I like to know what im paying for when I cough my hard earned money and they tried to sugar coat it. Then when we take the bait they take away the extra candy!! Shits me when businesses dont make things clear to get a sale. I joined under the pretenses of a full 7 day membership so that I can play Saturday comps and now if im lucky I may only be able to slot into 1 spot from 3pm the prior day.. Takes away the chance of me booking a full group with guests on the weekend mornings. When I went in to pay the guy said basically nothing but assured me of getting the club advantage card as well.

Chilled does your membership pack mention the club advantage card?

Chilled
4th January 2012, 09:00 PM
Chilled does your membership pack mention the club advantage card?Nope, nothing, not a mention of it at all, either way. So I take it that's a no go on club advantage.

3rd February 2012, 09:55 AM
Tis a bit of a strange one indeed. I didn't even notice Blackwood was on the card...all you see is all the flags of the clubs. So yes, 3 games at each of 5 away clubs.
