If any of you QLD's have never played in one of these days, do yourself a favour!
Great format, super prizes etc....
Ive played in 3-4 events over the years.
I made the last 3 at an event at St Micks in Sydney a few years ago, got beat on the last hole by a guy with 2 shots on the hole....

[jeffblaz]

[jeffblaz]

[golfbound]

Just sent an email for 2 spots

[jaybam]

Woohoo cant wait. Never played there before and for $25 how could you say no. Can even put up with lagerlover for 18 holes for that price. ;)

[Lagerlover]

Current Hills B grade champion.... Your life's getting better by the day!

[Jarro]

I'd love to be able to play in this, but can't i'm afraid :(

[jeffblaz]

Hi guys $25 is for golf and comp entry

[jaybam]

Cant wait. Going to be a blast. And for $25 how can you pass it up. Good enough for me to take a day off. Never played there before either. Will LL and i be in the same group? We are carpooling and golf is so much more fun when i can laugh at him :)

[MAZA68]

Blakey amd Maza are playing as well............somebody has to keep Jaybam under control.

[jaybam]

You serious? Do you have to bring him???

[MAZA68]

He's looking forward to playing with you as well! At least you'll have someone else to hang shit on.

[jaybam]

Works looking good now ;)

[Lagerlover]

Looking forward to going stroke for stroke, comparing meltdowns..

[jaybam]

You will win buddy. Your melt downs are famous

[Lagerlover]

Wasn't called "strawberry snip carelessly dropped on a suburban Adelaide footpath early in the second week of February" when I was a kid for nothing!!

[MAZA68]

What course are we down to play Jeffblaz?

[Lagerlover]

The green combo, blue and green nines.

[markTHEblake]

Does that include the over the road nine or are we playing the duffers 18.

[Lagerlover]

Hope this helps...

[jeffblaz]

[jaybam]

And largerlover haha a spot in the final. Worse two shots to start. Choke lol

[jaybam]

But sinks the putt to go to the final three with his only one putt all day. Woohoo

[PeteyD]

Go big mon!

[Marto65]

I think this is a qualifier ....
Go the big fella !!

[Marto65]

Just dont stand on his right Jaybam .... and dont say anything that rhymes with Tank.

[jaybam]

He is going to Vegas

[Marto65]

Winner ??

[jaybam]

His three a three beats three a two. Winner winner chicken dinner.

[PeteyD]

Awesome stuff.

[Jarro]

Well done to the big shanker !!!

[jaybam]

Maza 36 pts
Larger 39 pts
Jaybam 40 pts

[PeteyD]

Yea first prize was a trip to vegas.

[jaybam]

Yup. Don't know the details yet but yup a trip to the final in Vegas apparently

[ddasey]

Awesome, pure awesome.

Spewing I missed it, just couldn't work it around kids & school.

Well done big fella.

[IamViva]

thats unreal... well done lager! would have been nice to get out of work today to witness your greatness ;)

[MAZA68]

Well done to the Lager Man. Great day, Great deal.

[popper81]

Well done LL, couldn't happen to a nicer SHanker!

[Lagerlover]

Thanks everyone. Didn't deserve it.
Not much in the way of fine print, so it looks like I have 8 nights acc, flights, and four rounds of golf at some funky courses.

[popper81]

Awesome mate!!

[jeffblaz]

glad it went to a ozgolfer... maybe a few more will be interested next time... :D

[jaybam]

Thanks for the day Jeff. Awesome format and a great day. I am a fan and look forward to trying to get out to another one. The shootout idea at the end is good fun. Great to watch a gentle giant like larger shaking like a leaf on the tee. Piss funny.
Thanks larger for getting me there. The only person who deserved to beat him was the young girl that shot one under off the stick. Freak.

[jeffblaz]

i guess that was thing thing i was most nervous about.... the format... im a fan and have been doing shootout events for close to 10 years... people just need to be exposed to it... hopefully the experience here will help and attract new players.

[jaybam]

Well am pretty sure you have a fan in larger. And also me. Well done and good luck with it.

[PeteyD]

If it wasn't for the 2 day thing we were in at Reddy I would have jumped in this.

[markTHEblake]

this is how the final worked., 8 players play the last hole (on the 3rd 9) , then the best 3 play a 100m hole to the pratice green.

Lager has two shots, almost everyone else has one shot, and a few of them flush it to 50m from the green. Lager scruffs one left, and it actualy runs through a massive bunker and sits up pretty in the rough about 140m out. All he has got to do is bunt it to the green, two shots, how could he go wrong?

[Captain Nemo]

Told you guys it's a great day and format....
Well done LL!!!

[Haystacks]

Well done big fella!

[markTHEblake]

Lager lover hits his 3rd shot into the first playoff hole, after his 2nd shot flub.

What Petey said. Way to go Larger.

[Haystacks]

Did AndyP dress you today?

[markTHEblake]

with two shots on the hole he has this 20 ft put for a par and 4 stableford points that would guarantee him a spot in the final three. Miss and its a sudden death putting comp to play on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfvdL0_VKLE

[markTHEblake]

The Final 3 players, and a 100m par 3. First bloke, hits it to about 10 feet, but Lager has a shot, his final comment before hitting is something about shanking it into the people on the right.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyMtJc-KBp4

[Lagerlover]

C'mon Blakey, where's the money shot??

Oh sorry, that's right, Collingwood....

[markTHEblake]

Here it is, a $5500 putt. If he holes this he goes to Vegas, misses, and the other joker has a putt to tie it. (who after the fact was heard to be whining about Lagerlover getting a shot on the hole)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he10ZHCQKXQ

[markTHEblake]

The money shot $5500 trip to vegas, airefares, MGM Grand hotel, and golf, and pool party (Lager in his Y Fronts). The other bloke misses giving Lager an easy put, well easy for everyone else.

Bit over the top with the celebration though and the loser spoiling lagers moment of glory in front of the camera

[shavey]

Great job mate! Can't wait to hear all about it..

[Lagerlover]

Great win Lager. Does this effect your amateur status ?

Don't know mate, could be a defining moment... have been toying with the idea of giving my real job up.



love the avatar shaves

The "other bloke" looks familiar!? an Iseeker?

[Lagerlover]

Jaybam liked him.

[Marto65]

Hey Lagerlover .... congratulations mate. Thats AWESOME !!

A lesser man would have given up the game a long time ago with that case of the Tom Hanks you had. You just smiled your way through it.

This is the reward for your perseverance.

Live it up buddy.

[Dotty]

Well done, Lager.

Make sure you put in a dozen poor rounds to max the handicap out before the LV final. :)

Sounds like a great idea :)

[MAZA68]

Jaybam liked him.

He was looking for another punching bag.

[jaybam]

Come on we all had the same opinion of him. I just voiced it a bit more than you lot.

Thats is true JB.

Did you notice that the runner up thanked everyone but did not congratulate the winner?

I was thinking that on the way home, totally ignored our man. Totally knob.

[IamViva]

im sure he would have had a solid cry to his boyfriends on saturday, probably a manly supporter ;)

[Lagerlover]

He was a fairly confident chap wasn't he?
I'm just glad I'm not a member at Cooly-Tweed, all the fist pumping and "be the stick" stuff would become a little tiresome after a while!!

[markTHEblake]

is that what you said? I thought you said "thats not a shank" after you knocked it onto the green.

[Lagerlover]

After I hit it straight I did have a thank **** for that moment.
I had visions of a fleet of ambulances attending to all those foolish enough to have stood on that side of the "fairway".
