Gavin Simms Memorial Cup 2012 - The Real OzGolf Champs

[simmsy]

How did Rube's ass message Veeman?

Blew him a kiss.

[dc68]

Blew him a kiss.

A sloppy one?

[The Wandering Minsterel]

Great work, skins at Binningup will be fun. Love that course.

[Nuffie]

Great work, skins at Binningup will be fun. Love that course.

Hopefully I get down there in time to see that sunset.

[Ferrins]

I challenge the winner of this faux champs. Was thinking of a couple of rounds in Melbourne during the Australian tennis Open. Can organize tickets and got connections for quality layouts.

[TourFit]

If I win, and I'm not saying by any stretch that I will because I couldn't beat my way out of a wet paper bag at the moment, but IF by some miracle I do then you're on!

I have friends in Melbourne who owe me some accomodation favours...the timing is good, as I may tie it in with a visit to Western Vic (my wife's family) and then up to Northern NSW to see my brother.

I also have reciprocals with Woodlands, Southern, 13th Beach & Huntingdale!

[MegaWatty]

I'll probably be at the tennis. I probably won't play golf.

[Ferrins]

and you probably won't win your champs either:mrgreen:

[dc68]

Are we there yet?

[Shadesy]

The weathers Starting DC, Summer is in the air.

[bergsey]

Been a bit quiet in here, so how is the form line looking?

[Ashes]

My money's on Shadesy. Sounds like he's been in good touch; could be tough to beat on his home track come Sunday if he's got his nose in front after Busso.

Plus he plays his driver heaps, which I respect.

[sms316]

Been a bit quiet in here, so how is the form line looking? dc68 is still the favourite.

[bergsey]

Does he perform under pressure?

[sms316]

Does he perform under pressure? Indeed. http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/25782-Shot-of-the-2011-Champs-by-the-2011-Chump

[bergsey]

Indeed. http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/25782-Shot-of-the-2011-Champs-by-the-2011-Chump Couple of illegal drops in there... :)

Shadesy struggles with lead protection.

[idgolfguy]

Shadesy struggles with lead protection.

Surely latex is more comfortable as it confirms to the shape.

[simmsy]

Yeah shades showed once again on sunday that the lead is no place for him to be.
He only needed bogey on the last to win/dbl to tie the match and failed on both counts.

The guy can play but needs to get a win under his belt at club level priorto champs to rid himself of the demons in his sole at present.

[Ashes]

The guy can play but needs to get a win under his belt at club level priorto champs to rid himself of the demons in his sole at present.

He has demons in the soles of his golf shoes? I'd be buying new ones ASAP..

[Johnny Canuck]

53 final 9. 3 jack from 4 feet.

I'd bet Shades is better mates with Scotty than Rubes or Yoss.

[Shadesy]

Plus he plays his driver heaps, which I respect.

Now you get it :lol:

3 Wood is the play around KB though.


53 final 9. 3 jack from 4 feet.

I'd bet Shades is better mates with Scotty than Rubes or Yoss.

Don't forget the 3 wipes in the last 3 at the Cut last year to lose by 4 points to Tommy G.

I think I have issues.

[TourFit]

I think I scored 6 pts on the back 9 last year at The Cu*t...and it was 2 three pointers. Rest were wipes.

I think I have Shadesy covered for choking! :roll:

[Johnny Canuck]

You have to be in it to choke.

[TourFit]

True Dat...

[Shadesy]

Ok.... Unfortunately The Wandering Minstrel has had to withdraw from the champs.

So there is a spare spot for any late entrants, if anyone wants in.

Otherwise I have to tinker with the Accommodation today and also the Groups have changed Slightly. There is a couple of 3 ball groups that I cannot help, and those who have to get back to Perth on Saturday Night (re: Soft) are in the 3 ball leading off.

I have to confirm this with Busselton first, but should be OK. It means that I have swung a few people around so there is an even mix of groups over the 2 days and mix of East and Wests in each group.

Hopefully these are set, but I wont update them till a few weeks, to let everything to settle down.

Thanks for your patience.

[Johnny Canuck]

Let.Busso know we will have our own NTPs as well. Normally, this isn't an issue, but the 2 tee start makes it a bit different.

[LeftyHoges]

Ok.... Unfortunately The Wandering Minstrel has had to withdraw from the champs.

This is me.

Jacky boy, We'll have to get in touch for flight numbers etc. I'll send you a text.

[Jarro]

Nice work Lefty.

Be sure to pack some nice duds to wear ;)

[LeftyHoges]

Nice work Lefty.

Be sure to pack some nice duds to wear ;)

Gonna have to find some new outfits. I used up my best in QLD! (They deserved it though, being the REAL champs and all. :wink:)

[Jarro]

All good mate...

... i'm sure second best will suffice over there.

[hocko]

Welcome aboard Lefty.

[Shadesy]

Holy shit Lefty... are you serious?

[LeftyHoges]

Welcome aboard Lefty.

Thanks Hocko! Always wanted to golf out west. perfect chance.

So if I get my calculations right, I'm looking at $122.50 for 3.5 rounds of golf and $80 for accommodation for Friday and Saturday nights + whatever Thursday night will cost me with the Easterners?

Bargain!

[LeftyHoges]

Holy shit Lefty... are you serious?

Yes indeedy. Didn't think it would be that easy to fill the spot, did you? :mrgreen:

Now assuming I just slot in for TWM, can I just say the groups may not work for Saturday / Sunday. I'm with Grumpy for both (and I certainly don't have anything against him), but I got the chance to play with him in the QLD champs, so in the interest of meeting and playing with new people....

If this is the way it has to stay then so be it and I'm more than happy with it, just making the small suggestion.

[Shadesy]

I'll look at the Groups again Lefty. I am working with Busso GC a bit as it is there comp and they booked the groups in for me. But I am striking a balance between WAnkers and Easterners as best I can. Certainly I am trying to avoid doubling up over the weekend.

I changed the groups around this morning and slotting you into the spare spots works very well. It looks good to me.

DC is going to be very happy with his new playing partners...Rubes may not be though.

I'll send you a PM involving all your payments after Lunch. I'll need your full name and golflink as well.

Its nice to see a Ranga actually make it to Champs for once.

Beauty, glad I could help out! Will await your PM and reply with all details you need.

Now, tell me the truth, how much sunscreen will I need??? :lol:

[Webster]

Lefty, I sent you a text with my flight details. Will be good to have a co-pilot in the car.

[Johnny Canuck]

Aren't we Yoss!!

Hope so.

Geez, pressure on the new guy teeing off in front of the whole group... I assume you'll make the first hole the LD so I have to pull the driver out and tee it up?

[Cosmopolite]

They could make an appearance. I'll leave you all in suspense.

I will put the seasick pills in my bag...........

[Fromy]

Hi Everyone. I have met a bunch of you before and look forward to meeting the rest.

JC tells me that we are all playing for second place and I am golfing with the sure winner a guy called DC on Sunday. Is this the truth?

He also tells me I have to watch out for the one female that will be attending as she likes younger men, so I have been warned about you Rubin! I'm married with a kid so I am no chance.

[dc68]

JC is king WAnker.

[Marto65]

Better get that post count up, Fromy ...

You will have a decent chance too i think Marty.

[idgolfguy]

Hello Marty. Nice to see you inboard. It's a first that JC acknowledges he isn't going to win.

I suppose skins money is different.

[Johnny Canuck]

Hello Marty. Nice to see you inboard. It's a first that JC acknowledges he isn't going to win.I suppose skins money is different. Coming second to DC is still considered winning.Good to see your here Marty.

[simmsy]

gday Marty, you may play a good game but not sure about your choice in friends with JC mate!

good to see you around these parts, you got another stint offshore before champs or on land till then? we need your A game that JC tells us about to whip these easty bunnies that are coming over.

[Fromy]

I am pretty sure I am back for good now. Time to play some golf to get ready.

[TourFit]

Welcome Marty.

(He might play a good game, but our sledging and crap over the weekend will make him fold like a soggy serviette)

[sms316]

Welcome Marty.(He might play a good game, but our sledging and crap over the weekend will make him fold like a soggy Sao) None of us Easties will be playing your queer games.

[Ashes]

Welcome aboard Marty. I'm the soft one not participating in the sleep over, and it seems also far and away the shittest golfer attending champs.

Good to see all the champs attendees on here and posting; just one more month of banter and shit talk to go! :D

[Ashes]

None of us Easties will be playing your queer games.

That's why I'm passing on the overnight activities..

Pardon me?

[Ashes]

Pardon me?

Did I say something wrong?

[hocko]

Did I say something wrong?
I thought you were implying that we talk shit ;)

[Ashes]

Of course not, I was speaking for myself. I talk shit, I play shit, I am shit. :D

[TourFit]

And you're soft.

Don't forget that bit.

[simmsy]

It's like pieman 2.0

Is Nuffie in charge of the midnight putt putt goodies??

[hocko]

Is Nuffie in charge of the midnight putt putt goodies??
I hope not!

[sms316]

Exactly 4 weeks until the first eastern explorers land in the wild west. I assume your state premier will be on hand to greet the favourite.

[Shadesy]

I'll make sure I'll let them know you are packing Oranges where you shouldn't..

Well done Shadesy.

Nudgee could well be ready for the loony bin by the end after witnessing 36 holes of my putting!!

Looking forward to seeing Nudgee, Lefty and Hocko in action. To date, Fit and Shadesy are the lowest cappers I've played a round of golf with, so will be interesting to see how the low single figure players go about it!

[Johnny Canuck]

Is Nuffie in charge of the midnight putt putt goodies?? Yes. Smashing job last time.

[idgolfguy]

Smashing!

[simmsy]

My apologies to dc and jack for having to put up with my bunting it off the tee all day on the sat.

Ill do my bet to keep up lads.

[hocko]

Oh yeh, stroke the violin already!

[sms316]

Just enjoy the day simmsy. It's not every day that a WAnker gets the opportunity to see the people's favourite up close and personal. It will be something that you can tell your grandchildren about.

[Cosmopolite]

I will be aiming to get carts some of the days, not sure which ones, depends on how knees, hips, shoulders are going that week. just checked their websites and KB is $50 for a cart. ouchies

[hocko]

No carts.

[Cosmopolite]

if no carts, I wont be playing. cant do 3 golf days in a row walking.

[Johnny Canuck]

Your eastern mates won't be too pleased with that, Hocko.

[sms316]

Good luck telling Ned and Grumpy that carts are banned.

[Johnny Canuck]

Good luck telling Ned and Grumpy that carts are banned. Or you.

[sms316]

Or you. I'm an athlete now.

[hocko]

Ok so carts are fine?
Can no one walk these days?

[Shadesy]

Ok so carts are fine?
Can no one walk these days?

KB is not exactly a hard walk...

I'll be walking Hocko!

[sms316]

KB is not exactly a hard walk...I'll be walking Hocko! Every course is a hard walk after 3 big nights on the gas.

[Shadesy]

Every course is a hard walk after 3 big nights on the gas.

Hmmm good point, I'll book my cart now.

[Webster]

No issue with carts.

[Yossarian]

Meh carts no carts, I'll be walking unless I have bacon coming out my nose.

[Ashes]

It just occurred to me I've never played golf two days in a row!

[Johnny Canuck]

That occurred to us ages ago. Weeks for tgat matter.

[Ashes]

I was expecting you to suggest it wasn't actually golf I was playing.. Thanks for the reprieve.

[hocko]

Mmm. He did let you off on that one.

[Johnny Canuck]

I am a nice guy.

[Ashes]

You're a guy???

[idgolfguy]

You're a gay???
Fixed!

[BayBum]

I'll be walking unless I have bacon coming out my nose.

Awesome !!!

Cart it is.

[idgolfguy]

Awesome !!!

Cart it is.

Wimp!

[idgolfguy]

Looking at the tee-times on Saturday, I am likely to search for 9 holes early morning. Hopefully find a course closeby.

I can't see myself sitting around till lunch waiting for the tee-off.

[simmsy]

9 holer at binny or sanctuary idg?

[idgolfguy]

Either might be the go. There to play golf.

[simmsy]

I doubt I have 27 good golf holes in me over the course of 3 days id let alone over 1.

[idgolfguy]

Doesn't that apply to all of us!
Will see how I pull up on Saturday.

[simmsy]

I'm sensing multiple coffee and bacon&eggs at a quality establishment on Saturday morning.

[LeftyHoges]

I'm sensing multiple coffee and bacon&eggs at a quality establishment on Saturday morning.

Are we anywhere near Adlo's for a quality coffee?

[simmsy]

hahahahaha!!! i wish!

i would recommend if any of you lads have a few hours free in Perth during your stay that you head in to the city to sample his produce.

[idgolfguy]

What are the plans for Thursday and Sunday/Monday for you visitors?

[Shadesy]

I could be keen I'd.


As long as breakfast and coffee are consumed before hand, but I'll need to be a busso a little early to sort out a few things.

Is Capel close enough (cored greens)?

[sms316]

What are the plans for Thursday and Sunday/Monday for you visitors? Lunch at aldo's on Thursday for dc68 and myself. Sunday night looks like being at Burswood. Fly out Monday at 12.30pm. No plans for Monday at this stage.

[idgolfguy]

I could catch up with you guys Thursday and arrange something for you guyson Monday early if you are not golfed out. Could even do Burswood after breakfast seeing as how it will be no more in a year or two.

[sms316]

I could catch up with you guys Thursday and arrange something for you guyson Monday early if you are not golfed out. Could even do Burswood after breakfast seeing as how it will be no more in a year or two. Sounds good. Need to be finished any monday game by 10.30am though.

[idgolfguy]

Even 9 is good.

[LeftyHoges]

Jack and I flying in Thursday @ 2:35, out Sunday evening at 10:30ish so nothing needed for us on Monday. I don't know if we're meeting some of the other easterners in perth before travelling down or not. I'm just the newb on this trip.

[Marto65]

Nudgee is picking me up at the airport on Thursday ... we are gonne try to get a few holes in at The Cut I think.

Monday .... Nudgee and I are looking at 36 holes ... Joondalup and Cottesloe.

I'm waiting on Cottesloe to get back to me .... I have recips there ... then I'll contact Joondy.

[sms316]

Only other plan is to go to Bunbury Dan Murphy's on Thursday arvo.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm sensing multiple coffee and bacon&eggs at a quality establishment on Saturday morning.

Wise words.


Only other plan is to go to Bunbury Dan Murphy's on Thursday arvo.

Bunbury on Thurs? You guys heading down a day early?

[idgolfguy]

Have you booked a place to stay for Thursday night?

[idgolfguy]

If you guys want catch up for a conference call - we can arrange a meeting time and I will send through my concall bridge and we can all jump on to discuss at the same time.

[sms316]

Bunbury on Thurs? You guys heading down a day early? Yep. We need to walk the course. AndyP told us preparation is everything.

[simmsy]

I could be keen I'd.


As long as breakfast and coffee are consumed before hand, but I'll need to be a busso a little early to sort out a few things.

Capel is on the way to Busso leaving from Bunvegas.
the greens will be alright there, though not great. i believe they are coring this week.

[idgolfguy]

Yep. We need to walk the course. AndyP told us preparation is everything.
Wow - Poulter face!

[idgolfguy]

Capel is on the way to Busso leaving from Bunvegas.

Rather play 9 to warm-up after a good breakfast. Not fussed about quality - more about just hitting some balls and seeing what the game is doing. Not a fan of the driving range before a round.

[Shadesy]

Dunny Lakes in a Cart?

[idgolfguy]

Dunny Lakes in a Cart?
Sounds good!
If we can use the BBQ, happy to start bacon and eggs from about 6.30 am for those that want it and head into Sanctuary, Capel or Dunsborough for 8am tee-off (where possible).
Cart sounds good if a 27-hole walk may be daunting for others.

[dc68]

Jack and I flying in Thursday @ 2:35, out Sunday evening at 10:30ish so nothing needed for us on Monday. I don't know if we're meeting some of the other easterners in perth before travelling down or not. I'm just the newb on this trip. You are also picking us up on Thursday on the way thru.

[TourFit]

sms & dc...why not drop in to my shop after lunch at Adlo's on Thursday?

I could do some last minute adjustments and 'fixing' of your gear before the East v West game :twisted:

[Yossarian]

I am going to sleep latish Saturday, have breakfast and then do the 30 minutes to busso.

[sms316]

sms & dc...why not drop in to my shop after lunch at Adlo's on Thursday?

I could do some last minute adjustments and 'fixing' of your gear before the East v West game :twisted:
We'll need to get some bread from adlo and stuff them in our ears if your reputation is to be believed.

[Yossarian]

We'll need to get some bread from adlo and stuff them in out ears.

Fixed.

[LeftyHoges]

You are also picking us up on Thursday on the way thru.

Do we have a wagon, or a trailer, or a SUV, or a small bus?

[Johnny Canuck]

Do we have a wagon, or a trailer, or a SUV, or a small bus? A Getz

[idgolfguy]

With a roof rack.

[Yossarian]

My car will be in the shop can anyone drive me?

[Shadesy]

My car will be in the shop can anyone drive me?

Get to Warnbro Station by 6.45 and I will? I can pick up your clubs or whatever the Day before.

Hell stay the night at mine if you wish. I have a big spare room and Double bed. Save you 45 minutes in the Morning.

[dc68]

Do we have a wagon, or a trailer, or a SUV, or a small bus? I don't know... It only became an issue once you blew in.

[Johnny Canuck]

My car will be in the shop can anyone drive me? Can you meet at Cockburn Station? No homo.

[LeftyHoges]

I don't know... It only became an issue once you blew in.

Thought as much! Do you want me to pull out? (Maybe a little bit of homo...)

[Shadesy]

I have access to a Kia Carnival that is a work car.

It fits 7 all though the back seat is a squeeze, so lets say 6 comfortably. Would fit a couple of bags in but not all if 6 travelled.

All I would ask is that you don't thrash it (which is not hard to do considering what it is) and pay for petrol.

I would need to pick it up before hand to get it ready but it may save some rental car costs for you easterners. I can even deliver to the airport as I can work from there if needed.

PM me or post here if interested.

[Shadesy]

OK New Groupings posted as I had 3 or 4 double ups.

This is probably the best I can come up with, I have een checked every person one by one and have assured that you play with 6 different People over the two rounds and at least 2 easties (for the WAnkers) over the weekend. The Easties should have plenty of WAnkers to get sick of by the end.

This was harder than I thought, and I am sorry if its not your Dream group, but remember we are all here to play golf, meet some new people and enjoy OzGolf together.

Cheers

Shadesy

[Ashes]

Thanks for your efforts Shades, fixturing is a pain in the backside!

Shame you couldn't get Simmsy to lead off with one of his bunts on the Saturday - would have been like The Simpsons episode when Monty Burns performed the opening pitch at a baseball game! :D

[TourFit]

BWAHAHAHAH! :mrgreen:

Hang on though...OMS is now LOOOONG with the RazrFit!

Who'd be the shortest hitter now? Legit question, too. Other than Cosmo, it'd have to be 'Nut wouldn't it? He can't get any ooomph out of his ball anymore, and now that he has signed the last one over...? He needs to change his forum namer to Eunuch...unless Pieface already has!

[idgolfguy]

I was last in the LD with 226m total distance, I think.

[TourFit]

id is the new simmsy?

[idgolfguy]

id is the new simmsy?
Yup, I think Simmsy out drove me by at least 30m.

[Golfnut]

Poor Golfnut will have the whole gallery watching his tee shot on both days.......sucks to be him.

He really needs to get his shit together off the tee before this.

[Ashes]

What's protocol on order off the first tee? As named? By handicap? Toss of the coin?

[Shadesy]

Water Right, Boonge Left on SUnday Nut, What could go wrong.

Need to keep Pace of Play my son ;-)

Roger that shades, quickest off first ;)

[Shadesy]

Earth Calling the White Pony Nuffie....

Your in Charge of Night Mini Golf again my good man do to the amazing effort last year. I hope to see it beaten as we may have more players.

As I said I can get some Flash Balls from Glen Iris for Binny and Mini Golf.

[idgolfguy]

Get them balls. I still have the Vision UVs but will have to look for the lamp.

[simmsy]

I've got one of those uv torches mate.

[Shadesy]

I have also got the Carnival from Work. Unless the Easties want it, i'll drive it down and can fit more people to Golf and the Pub.

My Licence is not Valid past Bunbury, so Unfortunately I will have to be a passenger. :wink:

[TourFit]

And it will so free you up to moon passing motorists out of the back window of the Carnival...:wink:

[Shadesy]

Always Thinking Fit.

[Golfnut]

Always Eating Fit. Fixed

[tommyg]

I think it's in everyones best interest if I don't drive... Who can I jump in with? Northern boys.... I'd? Fit? Anyone else?

[Johnny Canuck]

Good call Tommyg.

[TourFit]

I got pissed on the fumes just from what you were sweating out in the car last year!!!

[Shadesy]

21 Days!

[Ashes]

25 Days!
21 Days! 4 days went past very quickly!

[Shadesy]

4 days went past very quickly!

Bastard. Can I blame autcorrect?

[tommyg]

Alright... ive just handed in my 3rd card... should have a cap by tonight. Somewhere in the 8 to 19 range from my calculations.

[hocko]

11.2

[Marto65]

14.6

[hocko]

14.6
How did you work that out?

[sms316]

Alright... ive just handed in my 3rd card... should have a cap by tonight. Somewhere in the 8 to 19 range from my calculations. What were the 3 differentials? It should be pretty much the best score btw.

[idgolfguy]

What's you golflink?

[Johnny Canuck]

Will you wear white? Maybe we can sub you in.

[tommyg]

What is it with you and white?

[Marto65]

How did you work that out?

I thought we were guessing.

[hocko]

Not really:)
I know his scores!

[tommyg]

Righto its official, i now have have a golflink handicap. It should come down a bit before champs....if i can get the time to play another 18 hole round or 2 this month that is. But right now I reckon Im a red hot chance to retain the cup.

[hocko]

And it is?

[Ashes]

Wait for the PGN to **** it up and base it on more than one round. No idea how they started me on 29 :oops:

[idgolfguy]

Drum roollllll!

12.0

[tommyg]

Yep 12. I'll try to get it down before the cup.

[Shadesy]

Righto its official, i now have have a golflink handicap. It should come down a bit before champs....if i can get the time to play another 18 hole round or 2 this month that is. But right now I reckon Im a red hot chance to retain the cup.

Not tomorrow though right?

[idgolfguy]

Seems fair!

[hocko]

How did they work out 12?
+8, +16 and +11 X .96 = 11.2?

[Ashes]

I thought they worked off 0.93 and the best of 3?

[hocko]

Ok then 10.8

[Golfnut]

That's so inconsistent, they ended up using my lowest score of the 3! Ripped off.

[Golfnut]

But well done on finally getting the cap sorted tommy.

[Ashes]

They used average for me, although I was under the impression it should be based on the lowest score.

I'm glad he finally has a handicap but I don't think it requires congratulations ;)

[simmsy]

I got my lowest of 3 cards as my hc 4 year ago.

[tommyg]

i dunno how they did it. 80 and 83 at a real easy par 71 rated at 69 or something...and an 88 at mandurah rated i think 73? I really dont get it.

[Johnny Canuck]

A man with integrity wouldnt play off a higher cap than he won off the previous year, especially when the committee did him favour by letting him participate.

[hocko]

A golf link cap is a golf link cap?
Unfair to make him play off less.
I think the majority of us are playing off a higher cap than last year.

[Johnny Canuck]

Just put on a black shirt and sit in the corner ;).

Truth comes out now about the evil 12 month plan to shaft the Easties!

[hocko]

White wasn't it?

[Johnny Canuck]

White wasn't it? Depends if I buy a black shirt and the temperature on the Friday.

[hocko]

Well, we are the zebra's

Nope.

[hocko]

Apart from Shadesy!

[Shadesy]

Apart from Shadesy!

Thanks man.

Rubes is significantly lower from the top of my head.

But can't think of too many more. Maybe a shot or so here and there.

[tommyg]

I think i actually played off 12 last year. And i didnt get anywhere near 72 points... everyone just sucked more than me.

And who are you accusing of having integrity? I mean ive got my mrs fooled but not you too?

[simmsy]

13 last year
12 this year

[Johnny Canuck]

Rubes, Shades, Fit, Nuff, ID, Hocks (same or lower), Cosmo?

[Johnny Canuck]

I wasn't sure if you played off 10 or 12 last year. Should have been 10.

[simmsy]

I think jc is the only sandbagger from wa.

[TourFit]

How did they work out 12?
+8, +16 and +11 X .96 = 11.2?

ACR's were pretty low...is it 69 or 70 for Glen Iris? So that'd be +10, +13 for there, and the +16 for MCC...divide by 0.93 = 12.09 by my calcs!

Oh...and well done TommyG. FINALLY! It wasn't quite the Golfnut 'cap saga, but it was gettin' close.

[Ashes]

69 at GI I think.

[Cosmopolite]

19 last year, 20 atm

[Golfnut]

GI ACR 70 off blues.

[Ashes]

GI ACR 70 off blues.

Then they should have used his 80 there and started him on 9.3, on my understanding it should work off the lowest differential.

[LeftyHoges]

Then they should have used his 80 there and started him on 9.3, on my understanding it should work off the lowest differential.

That was my thoughts too. Or did it change again when they brought in the 8 cards?

[hocko]

Rubes, Shades, Fit, Nuff, ID, Hocks (same or lower), Cosmo?

I actually think I was 8 or 9 last year?
Not exactly sure.

[Golfnut]

Not sure what's fair but the cap should indicate potential not what you can comfortably play to so the lowest score should be used IMO......but I've probably just got sour grapes.

[Marto65]

Fit, Nut and IDGG....

Dont forget to weigh in for the FBC ...

[Ashes]

Seeing as some are starting to nominate favourites and dark horses, and Waterhouse has some odds out, should we run some sort of tipping comp for the Real Champs? Could possibly follow a similar format to the major tipping comps and part proceeds going into the Lifeline donation pool?

[TourFit]

Fit, Nut and IDGG....

I'm not gonna bother...I went away for the long weekend and it was all about eating and drinking and having fun. If anything the scales will have gone in the WRONG direction. Basically, I will not do any significant damage to this competition.

The old handicap system was based on a golfers potential. The USGA method used in Australia now is based on form.

So ... you're one down after three holes and throwing the towel in ...

This Truly is the Ozgolf Champs.

Fromy has had to pull out because of work reasons unfortunately and we have a late comer jump into the spot.

Welcome to Catch22 who is from South Australia.

He cannot make Friday golf but would like to stay both nights and play champs, which is great.

First thing he needs is a lift to Bunbury Friday night. He is working but would like to come down for the festivities. I know some guys are heading later (nuffie, V4?) so if you can squeeze him in it would be great. Hopefully Catch will post in here and can organise something.

welcome aboard Catch22.

Cheers shadesy,
Giddy up!

Not sure I'm gonna represent the state in best fashion but may as well give it a go!
Luckily have to head to perth for work so things fell together nicely :)

As shadesy said, I'll be in perth and will be working on friday (around CBD) so looking for a lift if possible friday night after work. Can hop on train etc to get out to where I need to be if you tell me which one!
Also looking for a lift back and to/from accomodation to the courses if possible

[Marto65]

Well done C22. Pity you can't make Friday. Buy will be good to have someone representing SA.

[Ashes]

I'd say that's game over for any debate as to which is the real champs..

Great to have a SA rep on board C22!

If you can't find a way down to Bunbury for the Friday night, I'm heading down on Saturday morning and can drive you then.

[sms316]

So Nuck's arse is still all mine on Friday (no homo)?

[Shadesy]

So Nuck's arse is still all mine on Friday (no homo)?

Yep still super singles. If he gets some crazy bounces he'll win. Played him into some form today.

Catch - there'll be enough lifts to the courses and back, I have a 7 sweater for the occasion as well.

Hopefully someone can give you a lift Friday night?

I needed a crazy save on 15 and 3 approaches inside 15' on the last 3 to do it. Good to have Catch22 on board. Like Ashes said, this is setting up the the true champs this year ;).

Awesome, sounds great if I cant find a lift Friday!

Thanks for the welcome everyone, looking forward to meeting you all :)

Feel like I have an itchy voting figure now... where was that thread?

[Johnny Canuck]

You should be able to catch a lift from one of the late crew. Rubes, what tine are you heading down?

[sms316]

You should be able to catch a lift from one of the late crew. Rubes, what tine are you going down? When is Lubin not going down?

Turns out Hell Yeah wrote a song about SMS and DC's plans for champs (and Yoss and Rubin)

I start my new job in the city that week so I'll be heading down from the City on friday night. At the moment the plan is for Veeman to pick me up. I'll see if he can fit you in as well. Shouldn't be a problem though.

OP Updated

Groups Locked and Loaded.
Accommodation Paid For.
Prizes Set.

Handicaps - Handicap Cut Off Date is Friday, 26th of October. I will start a sheet shortly with handicaps that I will update regularly. I Just looked my next I'll most likely be 11 and after Busselton 12 (unless I shoot a score in the next 3 rounds which I am hopeful) but Handicaps will be locked on Friday regardless of the Busselton Result.

Which means the North Queenslanders might actually try and shoot a score at Busso :lol:

Lets Bring it On - 14 Days to GO!!!


Mods can we get a Countdown happening?

[MegaWatty]

Dunno. That's beyond me.

[Veefore]

That would be awesome mate! Cheers Veeman gave the ok. I'll pm to arrange the details.

[Johnny Canuck]

Good work boys. Clubs in Veeman's car, catch22 on the back of Veefore's bike.

[TourFit]

Will this event be coined "Splendour In The Ass".... due to Rubin & Yoss being so excited it's happening, and also being able to make a "trophy" of Shadesys' ass for his brilliant organisation?

[catch22]

Veeman gave the ok. I'll pm to arrange the details.
Excellent, thanks heaps Veefore/Veeman!

[veeman]
