TommyG vs the Little Alien

[tommyg]

Cmon nuffie... lets have at it. Im happy to play off 10 for this. (Whats your cap anyway?)... but not at the vines... you know it too well. I could be up for a midweek bash depending on the day. Your thoughts?

[rubin]

I think nuffs off 6 at the moment. What cap did PGN given mate?

[simmsy]

They gave him 8. Thats why hes happy to play off 10. ;)

[adlo]

Nuffie off 6? Surely you jest.

[Yossarian]

It would be 4 if not for forced dogleg carries.

[Johnny Canuck]

I think he is down to 5.

[idgolfguy]

It is 5 and he could do a midweek some. He's back Wednesday night.

[Johnny Canuck]

This should be a solid match. Nuff has been the hottest golfer,this side of Tourfit.

[rubin]

nuffie FTW - 2up. They'll be all square coming off 16, before nuff brings it home with par, par to take it away.

[TourFit]

This should be a solid match. Nuff has been the hottest golfer,this side of Tourfit.

But... 'this side of TourFit' is quite a long way away from 'that other side of TourFit'

[tommyg]

But... 'this side of TourFit' is quite a long way away from 'that other side of TourFit'

You said it big guy.

I dont like my chances for this one... nuffies the most boringly consistent golfer out there. Hes the opposite if rubin. Im going to need all of my bestest sledging vocab on show to put the little freak off his game.

[Cosmopolite]

Nuffie didnt play too well at the Cut but Tommy did.

does that mean i'm excitingly inconsistent/ spectacularly shit? :D

I don't think sledging will help you mate - nuff will win - unless he does a hearstring

[Golfnut]

Good point Cosmo, nor did he have a monster hangover!

[rubin]

Nuffie didnt play too well at the Cut but Tommy did.

true - but he was in a cart with me

[Shadesy]

I cant see Tommy making enough pars to be the Nuffster! There will be a few wipes with Tommy, and Nuffie will just par/bogey/Birdie the holes as he sees fit.

Nuff 3 and 1

[idgolfguy]

You just have to know how to get him flustered.

[rubin]

You just have to know how to get him flustered.

ID has a point. Just tell him how bad his swing is looking, and then he'll spend all day trying to fix it - but shoot even par doing it!

[Yossarian]

If Nuffie details the car- Tommy 3 and 1

If Nuffie gets a good luck message from veeman - Nuffie 8 and 7.

[MegaWatty]

If Nuffie thinks about JC, you'll find him in the bushes.

[Johnny Canuck]

Nuffie didnt play too well at the Cut but Tommy did.

That was a single round over two months ago.

Nuffie should take this, but we all know, when the pressure is on, Nuffie chokes like Rubin in the men's toilets at Connexxions.

[veeman]

If Nuffie details the car- Tommy 3 and 1

If Nuffie gets a good luck message from veeman - Nuffie 8 and 7.

Yeh at 3.30am

[rubin]

Tommy - play nuff at hartfield. He'll be so excited to be back on the sacred grounds he'll lose his game. That, and the forced dogleg carries should see him come undone.

[Nuffie]

I've had a good read since getting off the plane - from a place that is so wet, I almost needed a run about dingy to get to Coondewanna airport!

This match is going to be a cracker. I'm off 5 with two solid rounds falling off soon, so this weekend in the Vines Members Classic hopefully good scores a-coming.

Are you free next mon or tues to get this match going Mr. Hollywood? I'll look at a venue tomorrow.

[MegaWatty]

What are you off?

[rubin]

Better question - and one that hasnt been answered - what is tommyg off?!

[Nuffie]

Me 5.2.If OMS is on the money, Tommy is 8.

[tommyg]

Tuesday could work for me nuffie... i dont have a cap so we'll have to negotiate. What do you say you give me 6 shots?

[rubin]

Tuesday could work for me nuffie... i dont have a cap so we'll have to negotiate. What do you say you give me 6 shots?

how does 8 - 5 = 6?

[Golfnut]

Play off scratch I say.....

[rubin]

Play off scratch I say.....

I agree - all first round matches off the stick!

[Yossarian]

Is that cause you like playing with stick?

[rubin]

Is that cause you like playing with stick?

if your going to have a go - at least put some effort in. Thats not even to the Tourfit level.

[Golfnut]

if your going to have a go - at least put some effort in. Thats not even to the Tourfit level. Agree

[Yossarian]

if your going to have a go - at least put some effort in. Thats not even to the Tourfit level.

Sorry I was just trying to keep it at a level you understand.

[TourFit]

how does 8 - 5 = 6?

It doesn't.

But it also assumes that the Canadian Bully is setting TommyG's 'cap at 10...which it isn't!

And therein lies the problem. All players without official & active AGU Golflink 'caps should be barred and/or forfeit the first round! :wink:

[rubin]

It doesn't.

But it also assumes that the Canadian Bully is setting TommyG's 'cap at 10...which it isn't!

still doesnt = 6

[Cosmopolite]

I thought Tommy got a hcap through PGN

[hocko]

I agree - all first round matches off the stick!
Get stuffed!
Just because your first round is against a similar capper (who plays like a girl)doesn't mean the rest of us did.
You and Cosmo should play on Wednesday...isn't Wednesday ladies day?

[rubin]

We could - but i dont have the legs for a skirt.

[Johnny Canuck]

10 is a good number for Tommy based on champs results.

[Shadesy]

I think 12 is good for tommy!

[hocko]

I think 12 is good for Hocko!
Fixed

[TourFit]

I think 12 is good for tommy!

+1.

10 is too low...too low

[Johnny Canuck]

So you are proposing a handicap that still would have placed him right near the top of the champs leaderboard?

[Shadesy]

He played well, no doubt, so why wouldn't he be near the top! 34 and 30 points hardly qualifies a 4 shot cut!

[Johnny Canuck]

Did you play with Tommy?

As a KB member you should know, scores me nothing in certain conditions. One year, I had a round on 92 in club champs,that was good for 3rd best on the day. Should I have been given a cap of 16, based on that?

We played in some serious conditions.

[rubin]

Ive played with tommy a few times now, and everytime so far, he would have played to about a 10 - 12. I reckon that a cap of 10 is more than fair, and if he got a true one, it would be about a 10 or lower.

[Shadesy]

I did at Dunsborough! Wiped the first hole and was talking about Naga after 9 holes! Had a good back 9 getting points on the par 5s and the tough par 3! Played some nice golf, but no disrespect to Tommy, I've seen 8 markers and he ain't it yet!

He has a feel of a 12 marker but that of course is my opinion!

Maybe I'm annoyed he's lower than me ;-)

[Yossarian]

I thought Tommy did go and get a PGN cap?

[Johnny Canuck]

I've said too much already. It is up to the committee. They will be in touch.

[Cosmopolite]

Tommy played with huge hangovers when we went to Bunbury

[idgolfguy]

Split the different and give him 11. 3 either side will challenge the Soft toy boy and keep Lleyton on his game. 'Nuff will still win.

I was in the same group, he has good holes and bad holes, just like the rest of us.
Sore Rocks, he is very similar to you with about 3 years less experience.
Hockey type swing with good timing.
I think the handicap committee need to sort this soon.
BTW what scores has he had lately? Tommy?

[rubin]

He had 39 points off 12 at the vines with me and nuff.

[hocko]

Wasn't that before the Bunbury trip?
Anything lately?

[rubin]

Wasn't that before the Bunbury trip?
Anything lately?

Nope - Xmas eve.

[idgolfguy]

Tried calling you on Monday on your mobile, Hocko. Some bloke answered and said you were on a job. I didn't leave a message and said I'd call back but forgot.

[hocko]

It's OK ID, we will start a new thread on the "long and the short of it" :wink:

[idgolfguy]

I bags short of it.

Mm, 10 might be closer.
Fit won't agree but it's my two bob.

[hocko]

I bags short of it.
No option!

[Johnny Canuck]

Fit never agrees.

[Johnny Canuck]

I still have a hockey type swing?

[Nuffie]

Tommy is a 10 at most IMHO, he has good all-round ability and is maybe a few bogies off a mid-single figure cap. I thought he got a PGN cap. Didn't I congratulate him on achieving that a couple of weeks ago? What happened?

[Cosmopolite]

isnt his PGN hcap 22?

[Nuffie]

If that's truly the case Cosmo the committee will have a role to play here no doubt.

[Johnny Canuck]

He doesn't have a cap, not would a bandit cap be allowed if it were to come into play.

[Nuffie]

The Hollywood 2012 ozgolf star has a well rounded game and the feel of someone who could be a mid-single digit player but not just yet. I reckon he's an 8-10 but 10 at most. The guy can play.

Our venue will also be somewhere off on a tangent. It's going to be Chequers, Wanneroo, Joondalup or Hartfield I reckon. A few more calls will be made tomorrow.

[MegaWatty]

For a cheap merit bar? **** this. I'm out. Walkover to round two. Well done 'fit.

[Yossarian]

Seriously?

[tommyg]

He had 39 points off 12 at the vines with me and nuff.

Actually I hit 35 off 12 that day... And that was the last full round I've played, and the only full round since champs. If you recall I got thumped that day by yourself with 41 points and Nuffield with 39.

As for my pgn cap of 22... That's all rubbish I was just winding up the committee with that one. But as for what my cap should be??? I dunno. I don't think I've ever hit a better score than 84... In fact not sure if I've even gone that low ever.. But I don't know how caps are worked out so I'll leave that to all the experts here to work out. If I play off 12 and play to cap off the stick it will be probably be my best score ever. I have had some sub 40 9 hole scores on easy courses though so throw that into the mix ... But honestly I don't think I fall into the single figure category but that will be my aim this year.

To be honest I'm not in it to win it, just for the pure enjoyment factor and to have a laugh and learn from some really good golfers, so whatever cap you come up with is fine by me.

[rubin]

sorry mate - i got you and nuff mixed up. My apologies.

[tommyg]

Yeah, we're very similar in so many ways.

[rubin]

Yeah, we're very similar in so many ways.

score wise clown!

[TourFit]

Fit never agrees.

Not true! :lol:



For a cheap merit bar? **** this. I'm out. Walkover to round two. Well done 'fit.

Soft c0ck...it is now obvious why you like A.Rod and went to see him play. He also is a soft c0ck!

[Yossarian]

Ok if I pop up nowish fit?

[Shadesy]

we still on today Yoss...Storm seems to have cleared. I have no driver but!

[Yossarian]

I am still keen, i may have no clubs though :)

You can borrow my driver.

[TourFit]

Yoss, about to start them in 5 mins.

Have just had to make 2 putters and 2 reshafts this morning.

Should be right for about noon (as you said!).

[Yossarian]

I know I said noon, but I finished my morning chores a bit early :)

I'll be up at 12 then.

[tommyg]

Where are you guys playing?

[Yossarian]

Meadow, not sure what time shadsey has not committed yet!

[Pieface]

Dirty bastids getting a sighter in! I think we need a stewards enquiry.

[Shadesy]

3.30 Yoss, I'll confirm about 1 with the lightning Sit!

Pie Face..>you know it!

[Johnny Canuck]

Yoss, about to start them in 5 mins.

Is he bringing money?

[Yossarian]

I paid in full.

[Shadesy]

Check he put enough Glue on!

[MegaWatty]

Soft c0ck...it is now obvious why you like A.Rod and went to see him play. He also is a soft c0ck! Free trip is a good trip.

[MegaWatty]

sorry mate - i got you and nuff mixed up. My apologies. Quickly. Back pedal faster!

[rubin]

Quickly. Back pedal faster!

no back pedal - honest mistake. going off memory, I thought TG had 39 and Nuff had 35.

[Nuffie]

no back pedal - honest mistake. going off memory, I thought TG had 39 and Nuff had 35.I can confirm it was the opposite too. I had 74 off the beater off 5 and TommyG had a few blowouts in the middle to come home with a wet sail.Tommy how does Wanneroo sound for next Tues?

[tommyg]

Tuesday could work nuffie. What times good for you?

[Nuffie]

Ok, we have multiple options: Wanneroo after 11am once the ladies hit off. $38 pp;Hartfield in the afternoon after 3.30pm. $27 (unless it's gone up);Or Secret Harbor, with the option of us playing in the PGN/miners comp (with u as a visitor).Wanneroo I reckon is the best option logistically and is in good condition. Let me know your preference so I can arrange it tomorrow for Tues and we can get this show on the road.

[tommyg]

Wanneroo sounds good nuffie. Theres a chance i could get tied up with work... but i'll know for sure by tomorrow arvo but a pre-noon tee off should work for me. It'll be f$#ken hot though....

[Nuffie]

It will be roasting but we can't hit off until after 11. Let me know.

[Nuffie]

We are booked for anytime after 12 tomorrow. It is gonna be like an oven out there.

I'm keen to play but if you want to re-schedule to an earlier time next R&R I understand. Otherwise we can get it on tomorrow :)

[TourFit]

Otherwise we can get it on tomorrow :)

No homo...?

[tommyg]

Yeah... given the amount of manouvering of work stuff i need to do its probably not worth it given that it'd probably be no fun in that stupid heat. We'll need to look at your next swing and "git awl arr ducks in a ro"... wanneroo next week then?

[Nuffie]

Yeah... given the amount of manouvering of work stuff i need to do its probably not worth it given that it'd probably be no fun in that stupid heat. We'll need to look at your next swing and "git awl arr ducks in a ro"... wanneroo next week then?

Ok that's kewl. Next R&R we can look at Wanneroo or another venue.

[tommyg]

Have you snuck back into town yet freak boy?

[rubin]

prett sure he is. heplayed the summer cup at the vines weekend gone

[Nuffie]

Came then I went, back to Area C in my spacecraft this morning.

[Nuffie]

Ok TommyG here's an update about next Thurs (whilst I've got phone coverage).

If your available to do the matchplay, I'm booked at Joondalup, 2pm. It's playing the dunes and then the quarry in a practice round for next week's open.

It is free for me but $89 for a guest. But I am happy to split the difference and get us both onto one of WAs best courses.

[Johnny Canuck]

Nuffles 2&1.

[Nuffie]

Nuffles 2&1.That depends on how well the putter goes. And off the tips, one stray shot into the cabbage = big score, especially if another goes into the cabbage on the same hole.

[Johnny Canuck]

Shut the **** up Nuff, 2 and 1.

[Nuffie]

FINALLY.... Mr Nuffie... has flown back... to E... llen... BROOK.It appears TommyG is tied up tomorrow, so the matchplay will be re-scheduled again.The tactics may have commenced... maybe Mr Hollywoods waiting for my purple patch to turn grey? Well that's not gonna happen on my watch.So... In a few weeks time, it will be Wanneroo or Hartfield. This should be interesting. Haven't played either of them in 8 months.

[tommyg]

Come on nuffie... lets do this thing.

[Nuffie]

Come on nuffie... lets do this thing.I fly back home this evening. What day is good before next Wed?

[Nuffie]

Cmon Tommy, I can do it this sun, mon or tues. And for your info, may still be off 5 but ask IDGG, my golf has been poor last 6 weeks.It's been hectic at my end so am just hanging out for some fun golf and a good catchup, whatever the result - the best player shall win. But let me know quickly coz the match is off for another 8-10 days once next wed comes around.

[idgolfguy]

Call him Nuff!

[Golfnut]

Worst thread ever.....the match better make up for it.

[Nuffie]

Worst thread ever.....the match better make up for it. I agree with nut, but besides being on a tight FIFO schedule I teed up this match at Wanneroo first and then got Tommy onto Joondalup at a great price by willing to chip in for half his green fee. He still couldn't make it as he was tied up with work.I haven't seen TommyG since boxing day and don't have his number. Have both pm'd and posted on here to attempt arranging the match.So if anyone has his number, please give him a bell and see what he's doing and tell him I'm ready.

[Nuffie]

We have a place at Wanneroo this Sunday TommyG, 8.30am off the 10th. This is our last chance before they chop up the greens the next two days.

I need to let them know tomorrow that we are coming or else the members will take the spot.

[tommyg]

Cant do sunday nuffie... i can take tuesday arvo off so lets look at a lunchtime tee-off tuesday somewhere. Im happy to come to the vines if need be. I havent swung a club in ages except for the mizuno demo day. so i might be able to hit a 6 iron but that'll be all. my numbers 0438760446.... my tip is nuffie 6&5 wherever we play. If i can play to 18 i'll be happy.

[Johnny Canuck]

tommy 2&1.

[TourFit]

Nuffie to towel him up.

(Rubin to towel him off!)

[Nuffie]

Despite the recent form slump, hopefully things can turn around.It's looking like Vines - Ellenbrook 18 this tues after lunch. But that depends on if the greens are being cored or not.EDIT: It is on... Vines Ellenbrook is locked in for Tues 20th March at 1pm. Stay tuned gents, the pre-match rundown will be posted today, in response to viewers request to resurrect this thread involving two people that couldn't arrange for a match, even in a redheads factory!

[Nuffie]

Finally ITS ON for young and old...
16207 Vs 16206

The 'Red Dog' otherwise known as NUFFIETHEGOLFMAN, has returned from that dust-infested place that is known to those interesting characters up there as Area C. To the city folk of today, it may be just some meaningless place out there in the never never - where the sun is SO hot, it has capabilities of turning normal human beings into extra-terrestrial resembling creatures from other planets and galaxies far far away.

But from Area C roams ONE character who has managed to defy the sun's power and any sign of human susceptibility to the forces of evil. Instead of falling victim to the ever expanding alien force... he will forever remain a man, NUFFIETHEGOLFMAN.

This is because six long months ago... he decided put it all on the line and leave his dead end career, to pave his way towards a new destiny in iron ore... because as everyone no doubt is starting to understand, kennels are becoming very expensive to keep these days!

With true denim in his veins and heart beating like a drum as it always has in the face of adversity, he now has a new assignment on his 'golfing' agenda to take care of - who is the armed and dangerous (see the attached photo) TommyG!

Despite three attempts to arrange this match; twice at Wanneroo and once at Joondalup -%

[Pieface]

...

With true denim in his veins...

Woah oh oh oh! He's NuffieGolfMan! [/retardedspringsteen]

Where do you come up with this stuff Nuff. You know they drug test up there right?

I think Tommy will get up in a close one. Sorry Nuff!

[Dotty]

Woah oh oh oh! He's NuffieGolfMan! [/retardedspringsteen]


Jimmy Barnes is a retarded Springsteen?

;)

[Shadesy]

Do you mean Barnes Pieface?

[Yossarian]

I hope golf is the winner.

[Johnny Canuck]

I think Telethon is the winner.

[Shadesy]

Should finish around 7pm!

Nuffie to Win 4 and 3, with no Huge dog Leg Carries and Tight "Chequers" Lies to worry about.

[Nuffie]

Woah oh oh oh! He's NuffieGolfMan! [/retardedspringsteen]

Where do you come up with this stuff Nuff. You know they drug test up there right?

Yes AND I passed it last week when I was selected.

Should finish around 7pm!
Hopefully it's decided a lot sooner than that. There's a plane to catch at 5.30 am the next day, which means up at 3.45 am.

[Pieface]

Jimmy Barnes is a retarded Springsteen?

;)


Do you mean Barnes Pieface?

Yes [/retardedpieface]

[tommyg]

Anyone free to come out and join us? Its only gonna be 27 tomorrow so not bad. The only really painful thing will be Nuffies metaphors... and if i take the piss out of him constantly with no-one there to laugh i might feel a little mean (or not).

[Nuffie]

Yep two guest spots left at 1pm if anyone wants to call in sick to work and join us :)

[idgolfguy]

Not likely but will call.

[Nuffie]

The sun is shining and it's a gorgeous day in The Vines. And a red dog loves nothing more than the sun on his back.

[Johnny Canuck]

The red dog is going to get humped by the Greek.

[TourFit]

And we KNOW what part the Greeks like to hump!

[Nuffie]

TommyG 1up after 8.

[Nuffie]

All square going down 12. Me right fw bunker, Tommy in middle.

[Shadesy]

Hmm Could go down to the wire....

[Nuffie]

That's what I thought...

Until my studio design Newport came back from the dead, to jail 3 x clutch putts to win the 12th, 13th AND 14th. When we both missed the 15th fairway and got on the green for 3, I figured we'd be dormy.

But Tommy 3 jacked and the result became 4 & 3 to me.

Comisserations to TommyG, he played a solid front 9 and matched me tee to green on most holes.

I am quite relieved as coming into this match my game was down and out.

[TourFit]

Well done Nuff.

Bad luck TommyG. (Can't win 'em all after all)

[Cosmopolite]

well done Nuffie, and Tommy I am sure you gave him a run for your money.

[Nuffie]

Thanks also to idgolfguy for joining us on the 11th.

[Yossarian]

Go tommy!

[Nuffie]

Go tommy!What are u going on about 'Turtleneck' (who came up with that?).That's a classic :)

[Yossarian]

Nuffie what are you on about?

[Golfnut]

So let me get this right......Vic turns up on 11 and tommy basically loses every hole after that!

You bring some black magic with you ID?

[Golfnut]

Nuffie what are you on about?

+1

[Johnny Canuck]

Congratulations Nuffie.

Commiserations Tommy.

Haha. I took Veefore's lines.

[Veefore]

Congratulations Nuffie.

Commiserations Tommy.

Haha. I took Veefore's lines.

^^^
What he said. ;)

[tommyg]

Yeah vic stole my mojo today... jinxed me real bad.... actually i just choked majorly on the greens. I think i 3 jacked 3 or 4 holes in a row down the back stretch, which you cant do against someone as consistent as Nuffie. Hats off to you nuff, well played.

[Pieface]

You talkin' full banana's Nuff?

Sorry for puting the kiss of death on you TommyG by pickingt you to win.

Well done Nuff. Could it be the year for the little red caboose?

[Golfnut]

"He thinks he can, he thinks he can......"

[idgolfguy]

Tommy matched Nuff tee to green and then took one or two putts more. Good putters don't need centre-shafted configs unless they're cheat sticks.

I looked to me that it just didn't suit him

[Golfnut]

Go back to whatever you used at Champs tommy....

[Nuffie]

Now I get to see if the custom centre-shafted Scotty Del Mar works for me. It's lovely to line up.
