Leon Treadwell Memorial Day - 20 April

[Marto65]

Wife and I are staying with some friends up there in Woomba. Unavailable for Saddy hit, but will be on the turpus on Friday Night at the club.

Glad the team I'm in is all in carts .... 4 big fellas ... crotchrot might have got us around 14 holes if we didnt.

:lol: I am sponsored by 3B...

[solarman]

Holy crapolla...I am down on Thursday and was flying straight back after a meeting.
If I can swing it, can I jump in ?

[ddasey]

This close and not a mention of what the team handicaps will be and the usual sledging :shock:



:mrgreen:

[Jarro]

I'm more concerned about the weather :what:

[ddasey]

I'm more concerned about the weather :what:

Fingers crossed.

[BrisVegas]

Would be good to see you Bob! NFI how many starters we have though. Who's organising this shitfight?

[AndyP]

We have 20 names with golfer69 and shavey as the only two who have mentioned that they might miss, and perci as a reserve apparently. There may be other floaters in the draw.

[shavey]

I'm a definite now.

And I confirmed a few days ago so the winning team is united once more.

[jaybam]

Its not about winning.

[sms316]

Its not about winning. Only spuds say that.

[goughy]

What did we ever win? G69 picked up a spiffy jacket one year!

[perci]

We have 20 names with golfer69 and shavey as the only two who have mentioned that they might miss, and perci as a reserve apparently. There may be other floaters in the draw.

Count me out as a reserve thanks Andy!

[Lagerlover]

Pending response from mod AP, I might be out of this too...

[jaybam]

Pending response from mod AP, I might be out of this too... Your out I'm out. where we playing instead chauffeur?? I got youback big fella.

[Lagerlover]

WOW, judging by pm's, I might have tapped a nerve on this one.

I am confirming my spot on Friday, as I have put my hand up to drive a couple of guys out there...

[BrisVegas]

so, did solarman get a start?

[markTHEblake]

who has PMS?

[AndyP]

These are the teams I submitted to the organiser:

Team 1
AndyP
Iain
BrisVegas*
markTHEblake

Team 2
golfer69
shavey*
goughy
nudgee*

Team 3
jarro* - cart

Eag's - cart

Team 4
Daves - cart
popper81 - cart
Marto65* - cart
Brokar* - cart

Team 5
jaybam* - cart
ddasey*
Ferrins*
Lagerlover* - cart

Those with an asterix next to their name will be paying for comp fees on the day. All cart fees will need to be paid also.

[Eag's]

Larger & JB, don't drop out of the charity day because of some dispute over a post on here.
What about your other two playing partners, who I am sure would have been looking forward to the day as we all are.
I would be pissed if I was one of them.

[BrisVegas]

Let's not forget that this thread is about remembering our mate Leon who died from cancer in his prime.

Can someone else give jaybam a lift, so that ferrins & ddasey aren't left as a two?

[goughy]

Sorry guys, back open.

It was sad to see this thread descend into the discussion it had. This is about my best mate who was stolen from us, and to support him and the fantastic people who cared for him during his fight. They deserved better than what happened here. The discussion has been moved to an open thread in the 19th hole.

I hope you guys find a way to get past things and come up. If not, I'm sorry and sad to not see you turn up.

[AndyP]

Here's the contact details of the charity day organiser, if you are actually pulling out. The teams were submitted with those who needed carts, a few days ago.

[ddasey]

Well my team is no more.

Anyway thanks, but I will now give it a miss.

Have a great day guys.

[Eag's]

I feel for you Dave, this is a very disappointing start to what should be a celebration of a past Oz Golfer mates life :(

[Ferrins]

So no one that played in my team last year is playing and no one from my team this year is playing.

[AndyP]

Wow!

[popper81]

What is doing children......... have head down in the books for a couple of days and miss all the action.

Daves, are you still playing? Do you need/want a lift up? Happy to drive....

Jaybam, are a def non-starter now? Do you need/want a lift up? Happy to drive you as well...



IMO be shame for us to lose a team from the comp.... It will make team "Popperazzi" victory very hollow :)

[Johnny Canuck]

Shame to see the grandstanding taking away from something dear to a lot of people's heart. Not the time and place to make a statement of that nature.

[Johnny Miller]

Wow! +1

[Daves]

What is doing children......... have head down in the books for a couple of days and miss all the action.

Daves, are you still playing? Do you need/want a lift up? Happy to drive....

Jaybam, are a def non-starter now? Do you need/want a lift up? Happy to drive you as well...

That would be good Andy, I was not looking forward to driving up there by myself. Will PM you to arrange.

Cheers

Dave

[jaybam]

Thanks for the offers but I am going to be a good boy and go to work instead. Was rostered to work at bunnings and was going to have a sickie but I will take this as a sigh i should go to work.

[popper81]

No worries, offer stands if you do change your mind.

[peter_rs]

So do we have a 5th group? It would be good to fill.

[peter_rs]

Holy crapolla...I am down on Thursday and was flying straight back after a meeting.
If I can swing it, can I jump in ?

Is this a sub

[Eag's]

No we don't Pete, and I would say there would be no hope of getting one either.

[Ferrins]

Guess I'll just play Middle Ridge instead.

[shavey]

So who is possibly going to be available for a game on Saturday morning? Blakey, Vegas, Marto?

[AndyP]

It looks like I'll be calling Peter tomorrow to withdraw one of our groups. What a shame! Fortunately we'll be handing a lot of cash over to him, so it doesn't look too bad.

[goughy]

Why are you call calling? It's not your group.

[AndyP]

Why are you call calling? It's not your group.I still have to front up and talk to Peter on Friday. It's better than it being a surprise then.

[BrisVegas]

So who is possibly going to be available for a game on Saturday morning? Blakey, Vegas, Marto?

Just the Friday for me now.

[goughy]

Same here g-man. Can't wait for you to win another jacket!

[AndyP]

Team 1
AndyP
Iain
BrisVegas*
markTHEblake

Team 2
golfer69
shavey*
goughy
nudgee*

Team 3
jarro* - cart
shazza_rs - cart
peter_rs - cart
Eag's - cart

Team 4
Daves - cart
popper81 - cart
Marto65* - cart
Brokar* - cart

Our groups are following each other. I don't know which holes we start on yet.

[Eag's]

Looking forward to this tomorrow, it will be my 2nd hit this year :)

[popper81]

Same here, l really enjoy Ambrose. I have only played once in the last month, and haven't been practicing.....

Hope team 4 are feeling strong, I am a BIG dead weight.

[BroKar]

I have a fractured wrist, well fractured hamate, if there is a reserve that would like to play please put your hand up, alternatively i will strap it take drugs and drink heavilly.

[AndyP]

If there is an event where you had to play with a stuffed wrist, an ambrose would be it. If there's already a good shot played in the group, you don't need to hit.

Perci pulled the pin on being reserve, and I don't know what solarman ended up planning. Maybe one of the guys that are in the withdrawn group could replace you?

Excluding a practice 9 holes at Jindalee, this will be my first hit away from my home course since the Ballina round in November.

[popper81]

Brokar..... Mate, that sucks.... Redtube?

Don't cause yourself anymore pain... Calling the ferret?

[goughy]

I have a fractured wrist, well fractured hamate, if there is a reserve that would like to play please put your hand up, alternatively i will strap it take drugs and drink heavilly.

Sucks man.

Maybe ferrins?

[BrisVegas]

does anyone know how to reach the ferrit? otherwise, ddasey?

[AndyP]

Considering how much money Ferrins raised, it would be good if he could make it.

[jaybam]

Ferret said he was just going to head back to tenterfield. Ddasey is having an early game with us from what i understand. I have to start work at 4 pm and when decided wasn't coming asked if he still felt like q game just earlier and closer to home. Try him though. He might still be interested.

[AndyP]

I'm heading to the casino tonight with my $2150.30. Red or Black?

[BroKar]

as I stated, I am only pulling out if someone else can play, its a golf injury, only just got confirmation it was fractured, was hoping tendons.

[rubin]

I'm heading to the casino tonight with my $2150.30. Red or Black?

27 red.

[sms316]

I'm heading to the casino tonight with my $2150.30. Red or Black? "Always bet on black" - Wesley Snipes, Passenger 57.

[AndyP]

Our tee off holes are 4A, 4B, 5A, 6A.

[Marto65]

Cant wait ... it will be my first hit back from injury for a month.

Sorry Shavey ... cant play Saturday. But will be up to much mischief Friday Night.

[BroKar]

Someone must be keen??

[Jarro]

We all wearing OzGolf shirts tomorrow ?

[Marto65]

I could, but mine isn't "uniform".

[Jarro]

3 point infractions then for both of you clowns :roll:

[markTHEblake]

Someone must be keen??I have only said yes I am 100 times !Thread herehttp://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/28459-Toowoomba-Saturday-21st-April?p=789763#post789763

[Ferrins]

I'm good to go. Easier to fill BroKar's shoes than his pants.

[ddasey]

does anyone know how to reach the ferrit? otherwise, ddasey?

As much as I would love to be there, after our group fell over I made plans to play elsewhere and earlier.

I can now be home in time for kids sports tomorrow night.

I hope you all have a great day, enjoy.

[popper81]

I'm good to go. Easier to fill BroKar's shoes than his pants. Cool, so all sorted then?

[Ferrins]

What time does it start, Marto?

[BrisVegas]

11am shotgun. I'd aim to be there by 10:30 as the proshop gets pretty busy before the start.

[AndyP]

For those that have paid your entry fees to OZgolf, the club does not know this. I will pay the cash and get your name checked off on my arrival.

[BroKar]

Good stuff Ferrins!! Sorry team but you have a good replacement, long way to go just incase my wrist can't handle it

[Grunt]

Have a Great Day guys & girls!!!
Do OzGolf proud and celebrate the Man - Leon 'Jaster' Treadwell

Was awesome to finally make it up there to play in this great event last year.
I have to say that this event now pulls the strings for me to try to get to more than the champs. Will try to get there once again next year.

[Eag's]

We all wearing OzGolf shirts tomorrow ?

I will be.

[BrisVegas]

I will be.

me too.

[AndyP]

Of course.

[Ferrins]

Goes well with a pair of jeans.

[Daves]

We all wearing OzGolf shirts tomorrow ?

The Black, the Green or the Beige?

[Marto65]

Welcome to the popperazzi Ferrins. Don't bail/fake bail/pre bail.

[BroKar]

glad i pulled out now, went down the range and tried to hit some balls, i wont be playing for quite a while

[popper81]

Welcome to the popperazzi Ferrins. Don't bail/fake bail/pre bail.

Remember this is a team game tomorrow Ferrins, no mind games!!!


glad i pulled out now, went down the range and tried to hit some balls, i wont be playing for quite a while

Take it easy mate, I had a bit tendinitis in my wrist, from fishing, flare up when I first start playing again.... I never let it heal, and it continued to give me grief for ages.

Hope that is not the case for you.

[markTHEblake]

Uh oh, crisis.

I just realised I have no idea what to wear.

[popper81]

Uh oh, crisis.I just realised I have no idea what to wear. Please remember the rocks mr Blake.

[markTHEblake]

crisis averted, I have found something in beige, sort of.

[Jarro]

The Black, the Green or the Beige?

Black :)

[Ferrins]

glad i pulled out now, went down the range and tried to hit some balls, i wont be playing for quite a while

Sorry to hear about your shower injury, good luck with rehab.

[goughy]

Off to work for me.

[MegaWatty]

Have a wonderful day guys. Pete Rookas is a wonderful man and the Ozgolf community has done a great job getting the funds up for this event.

I look forward to hearing about a hole in one again this year.

[Haystacks]

Have a great day fellas!

[mudrat]

Enjoy and have fun guys and girls.

[markTHEblake]

Looks like I am the first one here !

[shavey]

Dicky and I have been here since 9. Dicky's in a meeting, I'm eating upstairs.

[goughy]

Just about to leave. Need some practice. Still dirt on my clubs from the champs (2010)

[markTHEblake]

Shavey I am eating upstairs!

[AndyP]

#winning

[jaybam]

Well done guys. Did you have to cheat this year to win?

[popper81]

Well done to the dreamteam....good win guys, you must have played well.

The popperazzi were let down by, well, bad play..

It was a great day, and well run... Look forward to getting frustrated on the greens again next year..


Big congrats to Blakey on the hammer win...

[Iain]

Well done guys. Did you have to cheat this year to win? ??

[jaybam]

Well isn't it common knowledge that to win an ambrose you have to cheat??

[jaybam]

Well done to the dreamteam....good win guys, you must have played well.The popperazzi were let down by, well, bad play.. It was a great day, and well run... Look forward to getting frustrated on the greens again next year..Big congrats to Blakey on the hammer win... Stacking the team didn't work.then?

[AndyP]

That's for the nett win, jb. We only care about gross, because that's what Jaster cared about the most.

9 birds, 1 eagle, 8 pars, and several putts left out there. We won't claim that we played great, but it did the job on a countback.

A really enjoyable day, but I hate the greenskeeper. There were many putts that seemed to steer away from the hole.

[Marto65]

Dickie is now drinking peckerwood.

[shazza_rs]

That's for the nett win, jb. We only care about gross, because that's what Jaster cared about the most.

10 birds, 1 eagle, 8 pars, and several putts left out there. We won't claim that we played great, but it did the job on a countback.

A really enjoyable day, but I hate the greenskeeper. There were many putts that seemed to steer away from the hole.

So you played 19 holes?

[BrisVegas]

So you played 19 holes?

how else do you think we managed 11 under?!? :lol:

[Ferrins]

Left my Teva sandals in cart #10, if any one is over nighting could they grab them please.

[Eag's]

A fun day all round once again, cya next year, hopefully with an even bigger crowd.

[markTHEblake]

Best hammer I ever won. It is so good Golfer69 tried to trade his jacket for it

[AndyP]

So you played 19 holes?It felt like it with the slow group in front.

Does this now officially make you a tool :mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

Don't be silly, that has been official for years.

[jaybam]

Well done to all. Did ozgolf have a bigger check than centerlink this year? I would hope so.

[Eag's]

Yeah we smashed the Centerlink crowd :)

[jaybam]

Yeah we smashed the Centerlink crowd :) Awesome news. Must be the first time. They will be pissed off and bring it next year. Look out lol

[Ned]

And the Hammer would just fit nicely ................

[Jarro]

Thanks again to everyone for turning up .... it's the most important part of the whole thing really ... turning up to honour Leon !!

Thanks again to Eags for driving us there this year, and thanks to Eag's, Pete and Shaz for the hit ... we laughed our way around as usual :)

[Iain]

Except on the 1st.... :lol:

[Jarro]

Except on the 1st.... :lol:

I laughed on the first

[Daves]

The things you put up with playing with Ozgolfers!. Firstly, we had The ferret playing his first tee shot in his Crocs. His 2nd shot in his bare feet and the putt with one shoe on (back foot). We told him he would have to allow for the downhill lie but he still pulled the shot!:roll: Then Marto decides he wants to show every one his Cockapoodle!:shock: And it was all downhill from there! I mean seriously!:lol:

Thanks to Popper, Marto and Ferrins for the company, it was fun;)

[BrisVegas]

It was a great day for it. Thanks to everyone that came along. Cheers to Iain for the ride up and back in the GTI :cool:. Although I think I should mention your car has a farting problem. :wink:

[Ferrins]

Dave would of gone through a dozen Balatas.

[Webster]

Who was the most smashed last night? The text messages I was getting were.....interesting....

[goughy]

I'm guessing that girl who allowed g69 to get a photo with her!

[Webster]

The one with the fakies?

[shazza_rs]

I've put some photos on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.381275205251038.74682464.157272347651326&type=1&l=3b84c957b3

If you want me to include any of the photos you took, email them to andyp@ozgolf.net.

We took a bunch of photos. I'll sort through them after golf tonight.

[Daves]

Dave would of gone through a dozen Balatas.

Oh yeah, I knifed a few, but I wasn't the only one!. I was still good enough to get inside you (no homo) on the last hole though. Shot the commentary and sledging to pieces, that one!:wink:

[peter_rs]

Except on the 1st.... :lol:

No it was fun a regular birdie....

Thanks for the game shazza rich and mark always fun. Besides 2 I think we improved most holes

[MegaWatty]

And the Hammer would just fit nicely ................https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/562505_381275361917689_157272347651326_78533016_22 7352787_n.jpg Everyone talking to each other on their phones...

[Eag's]

Marto was chatting to me, the rest of them were posting on the forums by the looks ;)

[Webster]

That pic of Blake is just begging for some photoshopping.

[shavey]

I'm guessing that girl who allowed g69 to get a photo with her!

Couldn't get his attention back for the rest of the night :o

[BrisVegas]

Jack I had a few but I think Marto had me covered in a photo finish. He was traveling beautifully until about 8pm when he shot through to a swingers party I believe.

Keys in the bowl > coins against the wall.

[Marto65]

Just back from the land of having no net, no tv and no phone signal, and I cant believe you guys have stopped giving it to Blakey about his hammer win.

[PeteyD]

I am yet to see a photo or description of said Hammer. Something like this ...http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_af1lZsupYtg/SU-0fwgpH_I/AAAAAAAAAA8/qzyVwMaFzuw/s320/hamer-driver-golf.jpg

[Jarro]

Pete, it looks like this http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/hammer-1.jpg

[PeteyD]

Surely Blakey only qualifies for something like this ...

Only the quick and the dead when the Ferret is in town
