The Nullarbor Cup - GSM12 Friday Golf

[MegaWatty]

Ouch!

[hocko]

$30 bucks gets a cap and a shirt. I would have sent it over to simmsy, hocko, but I didn't want any shenanigans with it.
PM your details Marto.

[Shadesy]

OK Guys time to Get Serious.

We have 22 players for Bunbury but with Hock's Defection only 9 Eastern Staters, meaning we will pick 9 WAnkers in a format yet to be decided.

This will leave Four (4) players out of the East vs West Battle. There are a number of ways to do this (either randomly or by Handicap), is there anyone that does not want to play and is happy for a Social hit, perhaps play some side bets or just watch the action unfold.

I don't want to leave anyone out, but some may be happy just to have a stress free hit on the Friday and I will give first opportunity for those to volunteer.

The East vs West thing is meant to be a bit of fun, but we have pride at stake here and imagine it will be fairly competitive.

[Johnny Canuck]

Ultra competitive.

[sms316]

Put on my Easty shirt yesterday. It's going to be like wearing a tent in a month.

First post states 4bbb match play. Won't work with 9 unless you have tiger Hamilton working the numbers.

[sms316]

First post states 4bbb match play. Won't work with 9 unless you have tiger Hamilton working the numbers. How about a singles match worth double points?

[Shadesy]

Yeah there are some format issues. I was thinking head to head match play. Will match Caps fairly Closely and may the best man win (off the stick).

[Johnny Canuck]

We have cap issues compared to Eastern boys. I am happy to play off the bat, Marty too, but our next lowest capper has gone east and will leave us with only a couple guys who just sneak into singles.

[Shadesy]

I'm Guessing Jack, SMS and DC are all low. Same with Hocko.

I don't know the other Guys, Could be a problem.

the SMS idea about a double point shoot out might be a winner.

[sms316]

I'm Guessing Jack, SMS and DC are all low. Same with Hocko.I don't know the other Guys, Could be a problem.the SMS idea about a double point shoot out might be a winner. dc68 is nowhere near as low as he should be. Same goes for one of our northern friends.

[Webster]

I'll be off 4 by then.

Just play stableford and average the team scores, that way it doesn't matter how many on each team.

[Johnny Canuck]

We will nominate 9 for the average scores thanks.

If we do the match plays, I volunteer to play the double points match off the stick. Other matches being 4bbb, should play off caps.

[rubin]

im out for the friday.

[sms316]

im out for the friday. Filthy that we don't get to play around a round together Lubes.

[rubin]

Yeah.



Devastated.

[idgolfguy]

I should be off 10 perhaps 9 by Champs unfortunately.

[Shadesy]

im out for the friday.

Like altogether?

I think I remember you telling me that at one stage? I'll take you off the list, Sorry to hear Rubes.


I should be off 10 perhaps 9 by Champs unfortunately.

haha ID, just been at 9 could be out to 11 (even 12) by Champs. Have a played to 4 coming off in the next 3 rounds, with a 14 to replace it at this stage.

[idgolfguy]

That's one way to get over the Tiger Woods'. Just ensure you have enough shots on the last couple to choke out a couple of doubles to get over the line.

[Ashes]

I hoping to have the cap somewhere between 24 and 28 by champs..

[rubin]

At least for the round/s. still playing saturday and sunday. I believe i've paid for the fri. Accom but i dont know at this stage if i'll be there friday night or not. Worst comes - i'll see u boys at busso on the saturday.

[Yossarian]

I hoping to have the cap somewhere between 24 and 28 by champs..:smt108

[rubin]

I hoping to have the cap somewhere between 24 and 28 by champs..

Banditry at its finest. Well played.

[Ashes]

All in jest. Drifted from 21.7 to 22 on the weekend and won't go out any further. Could come down though if I get a hit or two in prior and score well. Would like to get back into the teens before the end of the year.

[simmsy]

Ashes on 24+ will be very dangerous at Champs

[Ashes]

You mean dangerous for anyone on parallel fairways if I bow to peer pressure and pull out the driver on every hole?

[idgolfguy]

All in jest. Drifted from 21.7 to 22 on the weekend and won't go out any further. Could come down though if I get a hit or two in prior and score well. Would like to get back into the teens before the end of the year.
When are you playing at the Vines again? We should try to catch up, Ashes.

[Ashes]

Not sure mate, got family committments all this weekend. Hoping to have at least one hit before champs.

Definitely keen to catch up for a hit at some stage. I'll flick you a message if it looks like I'll have time on a weekend coming up.

[hocko]

Can we get the teams up for the East V West matchplay?

Shadesy, have you picked your team?
SMS or Marto, can we have a run down on team rankings?

[Johnny Canuck]

Hocko, you have been replaced in the east side by Scott Jäger.

[sms316]

Can we get the teams up for the East V West matchplay?Shadesy, have you picked your team?SMS or Marto, can we have a run down on team rankings? Ranked on what?

[Johnny Canuck]

The Inner Circle has been secretly meeting to put forth the best team for WA.

[hocko]

Ranked on what?
I dunno, who ever is playing number 1 through to 8 or 9?

[dc68]

Fatms will be number 1

[dc68]

I mean SMS316 will be number 1

[Johnny Canuck]

If we do 4bbb, there is no relevance to 1-9.

[sms316]

I mean SMS316 will be number 1
Pig's arse.

Handicap order (guessing);

SMS - 1
Jack - 2
LeftyHoges - 4
Nudgee - 6
DC - 6
Marto - 8
Ned - 12
Grumpy - 17

NFI what Camo is off. But being from FNQ you can bet it is too many.

[Ashes]

Bloody hell - I get more shots with my cap than all the eastern states blow ins combined!!!

[Marto65]

Geez. Cream of the crop going to WA

[dc68]

I'm down to 5 with my last 5 rounds flags and still got 1 played to 8 and 2 played to 6s counting so I will drop another 1 maybe 2 come WAnkers.

[dc68]

The Nudginator is off 4 now too.

[popper81]

I am now off 4, so that means you should be off +1.... Daddy!!!

[dc68]

Patience grasshopper

[Marto65]

If we keep hocko, that makes 10?

5 4ball matches combined with 10 singles matches at the same time ?

[hocko]

I'm off 6 as the token Victorian.

[idgolfguy]

3/4 caps?
...Just pre-empting a heated discussion to increase the thread count.

[hocko]

[Cosmopolite]

Cosmo 20. Could be higher by then

[MegaWatty]

Cosmo,

Of the interstaters that are making the trip, which one grabs your fancy with pure handsomeness and charm?

[Shadesy]

i'm currently off 10, but will most likely be 11 (probably 50/50)

So since its 10 v 10 head to Head Match Play or 4BBB?

[sms316]

[idgolfguy]

Both

[idgolfguy]

+1

[LeftyHoges]

Yep both would be great. So 15 points up for grabs. Otherwise it could end up in a dull 5 - 5 draw.

[Shadesy]

Great Call.

So Front 9 4bbb for a Point then Singles on the Back 9?

[Marto65]

Nah ... just run them along side each other ... it's easy enough ...

[TourFit]

I'm on 9 and unlikely to move (the next 6 games are replacing 6 unflagged rounds of sh*t).

If the handicap balance is skewed, why not just do MP off handicaps? That way someone off 10 will be playing someone off 3 on a level playing field. Even 3/4 caps would work better. We play the WA MP off handicaps!

[Shadesy]

errrrr there are 21 players....

[Marto65]

Whos the WA Captain?

[TourFit]

errrrr there are 21 players....

Highest 'capper doesn't play...instead is just responsible for moving between groups providing drinks and encouragement?

It's what the chopper deserves! :twisted:




Whos the WA Captain?

Oh crap...now you've gone and done it. Another 6-7 pages worth of posts right there :lol:

[Shadesy]

Since he is full of good Ideas...I nominate JC.

[sms316]

Since he is full of good Ideas...I nominate JC. He is certainly full of something.

[sms316]

OK WAnkers. Team management have selected our pairings and are ready to go. We suggest President's Cup style where one pair is listed and the opposing team choose whoever they want to play against them. Next match is the other way around.

When you are ready list your first pair. I will respond with A to play X, and B to play Y so that covers both singles and pairs.

Got it?

[Marto65]

That's right guys, we won the toss.

Actually, as hosts, you should put your first pair out first.

It's tradition in the easties v Westies challenge.

[Shadesy]

We might need to sub someone after 9, as we will have 5x 4 groups plus 1. This is the problem at the moment.

I'll pass it over to our Captain.

3/4 caps?

[Marto65]

3/4 caps sounds good.

[sms316]

I'm more than happy to go with 3/4.

I reckon this may take a while!

[Shadesy]

Love the format, is awesome but unless we get one more or one less we may have to reconsider.

[Cosmopolite]

Cosmo,

Of the interstaters that are making the trip, which one grabs your fancy with pure handsomeness and charm?

none

[Webster]

none

Clearly referring only to the ones you have met in person so far?

[sms316]

Clearly referring only to the ones you have met in person so far? Who would you compare yourself to? Robert Redford?

[Webster]

Possibly. Or George Clooney. So I'm told.

[sms316]

Or Steve Buscemi.

[Marto65]

Or Peter Dinklage.

[Webster]

So much for the Eastern States brotherhood.

[Marto65]

Sledging makes us closer, mate.

[Webster]

Not sure I want any of you blokes any closer.

Can I defect and play for the WA team?

(really though, I look a bit like golfer69, only prettier)

There are 11 listed there. Isn't Lubin a confirmed non-starter?

At this stage we have 21... meaning uneven Groups. So I propose:

4 x 4 balls... 4bbb and Singles - 12 points
1 x 2 (18 hole Matchplay) - 1 Point
1 x 3 Ball (18 hole Matchplay - best Players plus a WAnker having a Social hit and a laugh - Volunteers needed) - perhaps 2 points?

Makes it 15 points, first team to 8 wins!

The social hitter will play skins against the field. I will predetermine an order of golfers for holes 1-18. The social hitter will play skins against those scores. The hole winners get the cash where there are carryovers.

[Shadesy]

Just For Binningup.

Glen Iris are selling Glow Balls or Light Balls. Ball is Hollow and you put the glow stick in, and the other you Bounce and it flashes. they are 6 for $30 but I asked them to do a deal on them.

I go in and see if I can get a Dozen at a decent price.

[Shadesy]

Who's Easties Captain?

SMS?

OP Updated. Once Format and Teams are set, I'll update it again.

What are the Blow in's Colours again?

[sms316]

Marto is our fearless leader. Bottle green for us.

[sms316]

Maybe we should adopt a mascot for this epic event.

Jarro?

My friggin word!

[Shadesy]

I'll refer to the Captain. Much like the Ryder Cup, Home team selects the play conditions...

I'm hearing whispers that full caps are the go and I have been banished from the easy win playing against Hocko as punishment for me speaking outside the team rules.

We haven't done it in the past. Will discuss with the east captain. On another note, I have received two requests for matchups and both want to play Hocko!

[hocko]

Bring it on...happy to put a large side bet on too!

[Marto65]

Do they want hocko because they are scared of the rest of us?

3/4 caps it is.

Have you guys got 10 or 11?

[hocko]

No it's because they think i'm shit.

[idgolfguy]

Little do they know!

[Johnny Canuck]

3/4 it isn't.

[sms316]

No it's because they think i'm shit. Just make sure that it is over before the 18th green.

[Marto65]

No it's because they think i'm shit.

Mate, you are THE shit. I'm thinking of using you as our specialist singles man.

[Marto65]

So - first you call 3/4 and now you don't?

[hocko]

Don't get too carried away Marto!

[Shadesy]

It was a question, now answered by our Captain due to home track.

Full caps it is.

[Marto65]

It was a question, now answered by our Captain do to home track.

Full caps it is.

What a rort.

[Shadesy]

What a rort.

Blame the organizers/system.

[Marto65]

Blame the organizers/system.

I liked it better when you were captain.

[Johnny Canuck]

Just make sure that it is over before the 18th green. That is gold. I will play off scratch and forego the 3/4 if you guys are worried.Shadesy unfortunately did not know his role.

[Marto65]

Not worried at all ... just wondering if you guys are a 10 or 11 yet?

[simmsy]

Hocko, u bringing ur own caddy?

[Marto65]

I think one of your guys should caddy for Hocko .... making it 10-10 and back to 5 x 4Ball matches.

Cant your Captain just make a Captains non-pick?

[Shadesy]

Not worried at all ... just wondering if you guys are a 10 or 11 yet?

Still 11. 1 social player.

Need a volunteer to drop out or JC decides.

Or me and simmsy will draw straws if need be.

[Johnny Canuck]

I did, but he moved to the east team.

[Marto65]

I did, but he moved to the east team.

Good choice by Hocko, he'll get the respect he desires on our side.

[idgolfguy]

Still 11. 1 social player.

Need a volunteer to drop out or JC decides.

Or me and simmsy will draw straws if need be.Seems unfair for anyone to have to walk the course organising to take the day off to play golf.

[Marto65]

I agree IDG .... but it's also strange to fly over to just play in a two ball behind a heap of 4 balls.

Maybe we need to look at just having 7 x 3 Balls.... making it Stableford and taking the worst WA score away.

[idgolfguy]

7x3 is not as much fun.

It is next to impossible to get the same 16 or more people to turn up to an event. Still a few weeks to go - I can see a cancellation or another addition as we get closer to the date.

[idgolfguy]

BTW, have you guys got anything planned on Thursday or the Monday? Just planning on my leave arrangements.

[sms316]

You would do 3x4 and 3x3.

[LeftyHoges]

This is the perfect premise to get Dave1 to play Friday...

[idgolfguy]

Perhaps, Dave1 can come up for the day - new job withstanding.

[idgolfguy]

If he does, who else would move to the non-WAnkers side?

[Johnny Canuck]

Albany is the closest thing to Qld.

[Ashes]

Surely you wouldn't want him representing WA?? He'd play with the other lot.

[Shadesy]

Seems unfair for anyone to have to walk the course organising to take the day off to play golf.

They'll still be playing and I assume we would put the 2 ball then the 3 ball out first. I would love to watch SMS and JC go head to head whilst I had a hit?

But unless we have any other options or ideas then it is what it is.

[sms316]

They'll still be playing and I assume we would put the 2 ball then the 3 ball out first. I would love to watch SMS and JC go head to head whilst I had a hit?But unless we have any other options or ideas then it is what it is. Won't happen. Canuck is scared.

[idgolfguy]

Easier to see who shows up closer to the date.

[Marto65]

But unless we have any other options or ideas then it is what it is.

If the super singles match is worth 2 points then it should be at the tail of the field.

[Marto65]

Let's give it two weeks and see what we can come up with.

[Johnny Canuck]

Won't happen. Canuck is scared. So scared I might have to take my 3 or 4 shots and win it by the 13th.

[sms316]

So scared I might have to take my 3 or 4 shots and win it by the 13th. You'll be too busy watching Terence and Phillip.

[Shadesy]

If the super singles match is worth 2 points then it should be at the tail of the field.

Fair point.

Remember this is a bit different than the 2 rounds of SF and a unique opportunity for OG.

We also have binny in the arvo which is pretty much a 6-7 ball to mingle and both nights.

Ask which ur team doesn't mind playing in a 2 ball at the back?

[sms316]

I'm happy to play the Yank in a 2. We can talk about Lubin all of the way around.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm happy to play the Yank in a 2. We can talk about Lubin all of the way around. All good here. I should be able to keep up with the field this way.

[simmsy]

Seems unfair for anyone to have to walk the course organising to take the day off to play golf.


i dont think anyone is asking someone to be the quenchwench, they will still play a round of golf with us. but i players that have pgn/golflink should get precedence over anyone that doesn't.

[Yossarian]

This is the perfect premise to get Dave1 to play Friday...

That would be interesting. Our post counts and handicaps are probably too high for him.

[hocko]

i dont think anyone is asking someone to be the quenchwench, they will still play a round of golf with us. but i players that have pgn/golflink should get precedence over anyone that doesn't.
Without upsetting anyone, i agree.

[Golfnut]

Shadesy, I'm a better than 50% chance for the Friday....will confirm after the weekend and get the money through for the extra accom.

[hocko]

Lets talk when it's 85%

[Johnny Canuck]

Lets talk when it's 85% It still won't be 85% when he is teeing of on the 18th at Bunbury.

[Shadesy]

Shadesy, I'm a better than 50% chance for the Friday....will confirm after the weekend and get the money through for the extra accom.

At the moment your only 40% paid :-)

[Golfnut]

It still won't be 85% when he is teeing of on the 18th at Bunbury. :lol:

[Golfnut]

Lets talk when it's 85% Scrap that......I AM IN.Went down like a lead balloon with the Dept of War.

[Golfnut]

Divorced? Almost....

[Ashes]

Scrap that......I AM IN.Went down like a lead balloon with the Dept of War.

That's a bold move Cotton, we'll see if it pays off. :)

[Johnny Canuck]

Scrap that......I AM IN.Went down like a lead balloon with the Dept of War. Does Simmsy now have more ball than you?

[Marto65]

So it's now 12-10 or have we got a potential defector somewhere?

[shazza_rs]

I think you should hold a current handicap and ladies to play off the whites for this to be fair?

How is Cosmo playing off whites "fair"? Her handicap is based off the reds.

[Yossarian]

How is Cosmo playing off whites "fair"? Her handicap is based off the reds.

Ours are based off the members and I imagine we will be playing the tips. I don't mind either way really. Love the solidarity.

[shazza_rs]

If a course rating exists for the ladies to play off whites then so be it (extra shots normally associated). If no such thing exists then she should play off the reds.

[Johnny Canuck]

If a course rating exists for the ladies to play off whites then so be it (extra shots normally associated). If no such thing exists then she should play off the reds. I hear what you are saying Shaz, but this has been discussed numerous times extensively in the past. It is what it is, as unfortunate as it may seem.There are quite a few that would cry murder if we adjusted the tees we play off for one person or did what you say. The blacks at KBay play a lot tougher than the one stroke adjustment that might be received.

[Johnny Canuck]

On Fri and Sat, there is not much difference between whites and blues. Sunday will be the only real issue as the champ tees at the bay are well back. If it is windy, goodnight.

[idgolfguy]

I'll do the VJ Singh here.

If men are off the tips, why aren't there tees for women that are equally rated. I seldom see that on courses.

At the Vines, on Black tee days, women play off the whites.

However, men and women do not play in the same comp...unless it is some form of novelty event.

WA Champs has traditionally been off the tips where the course allows it and this has not varied since the the time of ADLO.

I don't see why we should change now. I enjoy the challenge and the scores adjust accordingly.

We don't use the ratings and the hole handicaps don't change. So the winner is based solely on the net score irrespective of the course rating.

If men are of the tips and it is the next tee up, ladies playing in the same comp and in the same prize pool play the next tee up.

Seems equitable to me.

[Shadesy]

On Fri and Sat, there is not much difference between whites and blues. Sunday will be the only real issue as the champ tees at the bay are well back. If it is windy, goodnight.

Reds and blues?

Saturday is no issue, as it is a club comp, it will be off the reds.

Sunday whites.

Friday, I'll leave that to the captains.

[Johnny Canuck]

Reds and blues?Saturday is no issue, as it is a club comp, it will be off the reds.Sunday whites.Friday, I'll leave that to the captains. I meant whites and blues as it wasn't much longer for us. Check a Bunbury scorecard and I will discuss with the east cap.

[idgolfguy]

I was taking about the last round. On the private course with the Golflink comp, men usually blues and women, red.

As has been pointed out, the last round is the pinnacle round and has always been off the tips.

[Johnny Canuck]

I missed it earlier. Who is the captain of the east?

I missed it earlier. Who is the captain of the east?

Dave1?

I missed it earlier. Who is the captain of the east? Marto.

[dc68]

How is Cosmo playing off whites "fair"? Her handicap is based off the reds. Don't forget Redcliffe champs Monday when we were hitting off in front of the reds most of the day Shaz.

[sms316]

Don't forget Redcliffe champs Monday when we were hitting off in front of the reds most of the day Shaz. Perfect for Ferrins.

You can talk!!! I had to get up for my morning walkies.

[shazza_rs]

Well lucky for you guys that you actually have different tee options :)

We ladies mostly only get one tee box and off the red plates is "playing off the tips".

You coming over to WA shaz?

[Johnny Canuck]

In WA, the whites double as the "Tips for Chicks".

Does that include cooking, cleaning and ironing etc?

Whooop! There it is.

[Golfnut]

I hear you're bunking with rubes nut! Bonass!

[Ashes]

No wonder you're ditching the Mrs Nut, seems you're more chance of getting some at champs!

[Golfnut]

No wonder you're ditching the Mrs Nut, seems you're more chance of getting some at champs! Brushing past another human in a crowded room would be getting more than what I'm getting in Nut town right now........I could get desperate.

[dc68]

Cap now 4

[hocko]

Mine is now 7

[simmsy]

Mine is now 13.
Will be 14 by champs if I can get 3 games in.

[tommyg]

Where did my 16 come from? I'm a chance off that cap....

[Marto65]

What's the real cap?

[Marto65]

If you guys can flick one player over to us, we could get rolling on the groups.

[Johnny Canuck]

If you guys can flick one player over to us, we could get rolling on the groups. Mega might be in on Friday if the need be. Waiting on confirmation of that.

[Marto65]

Mega might be in on Friday if the need be. Waiting on confirmation of that.

Would that then make 23?

[hocko]

If you guys can flick one player over to us, we could get rolling on the groups. I think we are all very interested as to who is playing who.

[sms316]

Would that then make 23? 11-10 ATM isn't it?

[Marto65]

Was golfnut in the original list?

[Golfnut]

In off 14 and choppin it.

[simmsy]

No he wasn't as he has just been told he's divorced so is now allowed to come along on the friday

[Golfnut]

No he wasn't as he has just been told he's divorced so is now allowed to come along on the friday Despite that, I still had to ask :roll:

[tommyg]

What's the real cap?

Ive been on a mission to get a handicap so i can defend my title (i won last year playing off a cap of 12 that we pulled out of our @sses). I very rarely have the time to play 18 holes so ive only managed to hand in 2 cards: one an 80, and one a chopping 88. I hope to hell to get another couple of 18 hole rounds in before the champs so god only knows what my cap will be. Hopefully i'll play well and come in at around 10ish... WAnkers can help by inviting me to as many rounds as possible betw now and then to make it as fair a cap as possible....

[idgolfguy]

Now they all want to join us.

[sms316]

Now they all want to join us. Pass. We all know Canadians have no heart.

[idgolfguy]

Now they all want to join us.
Just being accommodating.

[hocko]

I think it's because none of them want to play against me;)

[Marto65]

While I like the idea of doing the pairings early - for better sledging value - I think it's best if we do the pairings either Thursday Night or Friday Morning, so we wait until we know who shows up.

[Johnny Canuck]

We'll get them sorted in the next week or so. My life is a little chaotic at the moment. Seeing as how we have a "gentlemans" agreement on one match up, we might have to put in one for Hocko. Everyone thinks he is easy pickings it seems. No jager.

[hocko]

If it will be a walk over then why don't we play scratch?

[Johnny Canuck]

If it will be a walk over then why don't we play scratch? You and Cosmo off.scratch is not fair.

[Zeusgolf]

Considering I havnt played comp golf for over 18 months, have played about 6 rounds in the last 12 months and my lowest handicap when playing comp was 12 I think putting me of 9 is fair for the weekend....I know im not going to win stuff all off that but at least in can put a card in.

Captain Shadsey is that agreeable ????

You haven't played much and you want to play off 9? That is unfair - 14 - 15 seems fairer. I would play you off 18 but i don't believe that would fly.

[Johnny Canuck]

I am happy for Zeus to use his last held cap of 12.

9 is unfair to Z.

[tommyg]

18's fine by me as long as you give us heads up of any speed cameras or booze buses for the duration of the champs... And 20 if you let us tazer the naga after each round. Otherwise 14's fair.

[Johnny Canuck]

The tazer bit sounds awesome.

[hocko]

I am happy for Zeus to use his last held cap of 12.

9 is unfair to Z.
Agreed.

Although i am not in the circle ;)

[simmsy]

I reckon Zeus hc of 12 is fair. The guy can play when he's on.

[Johnny Canuck]

How does the east feel in regards to the Friday byatch play?

[Marto65]

How does the east feel in regards to the Friday byatch play?

12 is good.

[simmsy]

It's east and a few blowins. Should get back to its roots as this format started.

[Shadesy]

It's east and a few blowins. Should get back to its roots as this format started.

I am starting to agree.

As Organiser it is my job to make sure the tee times are booked, everyone who wants a hit gets a hit and that we have a great weekend.

As A forum contributor I believe we have a unique opportunity here with the eastern states guys coming over.

It is with this in mind that I feel it loses its appeal of first Hocko now Id playing for the other side. It is easties vs Wankers in posting location iMO, and if they have 9 we pick 9. It's the way it should be.

My two cents.

No one misses on a hit which was always a social warm up anyway.

[hocko]

I am OK with whichever way it goes.
I will be quite happy to play for the WAnkers if required.

[Shadesy]

Please this is not up to me, it's my opinion. Watching the Ryder Cup today really brought it home.

[hocko]

OK then, who agrees that the players who travel from interstate are the only ones available for selection on the Easterners team?

[Johnny Canuck]

I have to agree. Keep it East vs. West. Hocko on the east doesn't sound right.

How many extra golfers do we have? A social game is not a bad thing.

Serious question 1: Do I base the team of 9 on handicaps?

Serious question 2: does Zeus qualify on 12, even though he does not have an official cap? Tommyg has confirmed that he will have one.

[Ashes]

From an onlookers perspective, I'd rather read about a legit west v east showdown.

[Johnny Canuck]

The poms are wise.

My vote;
9 players in handicap order, no handicap, no selection.
Legitimate Westies and Easties on each side.

[Ashes]

The poms are wise. Should also say the fans naturally want the best of the best playing in the showdown! (regular contributors tho so we know who is who)

[idgolfguy]

Thank you for speaking up, Shadesy. I am in agreement.

Best handicaps play, the lower the better to ensure there is equity in each match where possible.

[Marto65]

+ 1 here ...

[simmsy]

Well the people have spoken it would seem. Now it's up to the people's champion and his eastern counterpart to name the teams.

Can't wait.

[Marto65]

Well the people have spoken it would seem. Now it's up to the people's champion and his eastern counterpart to name the teams.

Name the format ... and the teams.

I think 4 x 4BBB + Individual Matches and 1 Individual Match for double points in a goer .... but you guys are hosting, so you guys pick it.

Let me know when you're ready to name the teams ... we only have 9 to chose from.

This being captain stuff is tough ... thank god I dont have to rest any players.

[Zeusgolf]

18's fine by me as long as you give us heads up of any speed cameras or booze buses for the duration of the champs... And 20 if you let us tazer the naga after each round. Otherwise 14's fair.

I'll take the 12 :-) if thats ok ?

I could bring some goodies....but I dont think it would go down well with work.

Bunvegas has an awesome spot for a bit of roo shooting and we just got a shit hot rifle for the job...pity i get ass reamed if i every time I look at it with a smile.

You request in regards to the other stuff.....i will give a briefing closer to the date.

I'm not fussed at all if i miss out on east and west thing.....as long as i get to have a hit and maybe be paired with at least one team rather than at the tail one up.

JC is our captain, but I know he's pretty busy this week.

[Shadesy]

There will be enough for 5 x 4 balls and singles super match at the back. (2 ball).

[LeftyHoges]

There will be enough for 5 x 4 balls and singles super match at the back. (2 ball).

Are we just going with the lowest markers for the super singles or is this decided by captains (ie. our lowest SMS could end up against WA's highest, whoever that may be) if thats what the captain wants...

[Marto65]

I think the back pair have been chosen in a Gentlemans Agreement ..... SMS v JC.

[LeftyHoges]

I think the back pair have been chosen in a Gentlemans Agreement ..... SMS v JC.

Cool... That should be a good match.

I think that is the right call Z.

I say we all throw in a few $$ at the start for NTPs for all as well.

I have had a chat with my counterparts from over east and they believe the best way to do this is to base it on golfer's with eligible handicaps, which I have to agree with, as we don't want to be changing teams once they are set.

WA's 9 Representatives based on caps are (in no particular order):

1. JC
2. Marty
3. Tourfit
4. Shadesy
5. Simmsy
6. Golfnut
7. Hocko
8. IDGG
9. Yoss

Reserves:
Jeffo - 18
Cosmo - 20
Tommyg - unofficial 10 cap
Zeus - unofficial 12 cap

Sounds good JC. I think it's the right move.

When you are ready ... post your first pairing.

[simmsy]

awesome stuff!!

cant wait.

[Johnny Canuck]

Sounds good JC. I think it's the right move.When you are ready ... post your first pairing. Surely the visitors post the first pairing?

[Marto65]

Mate ... home team always posts the first pairing ... its tradition (read back about 4 pages ...).

[Johnny Canuck]

I am just going off what my team is telling me.

[Marto65]

Bahhahahaa .. like when they said 3/4 caps?

When you guys come over to the east for a return match, we will put our team out first.

[Johnny Canuck]

Give me a few minutes and I will post the first team.

[Marto65]

No problem ..
