Mt Warren Park Golf Club - Junior Fun Day - November 3, 2013 - 12pm Shot Gun Start

[popper81]

Hey Everyone,

As some of you maybe aware, this year I have taken on the role of 'Junior Coordinator' at my local golf club. It is role that has it's challenges, but I enjoy no end, and when you see a youngster win their first monthly medal, very REWARDING.

Mt Warren Park Golf Club has a history of having a 4 ball ambrose/junior break up day to raise money for the junior golf club. Last year the money was spent on prizes, training aids, and a bus for the juniors to travel to Royal PINES to watch the golf, including their entry. This is also the kids presentation day for the kids, so it is a big deal for them all.

Last year we raised almost $3000, which meant all of the above was achieved, plus the juniors donated money back to the club for a practice bunker to be built.

Along with the golf for the adults, we have a jumping castle planned for the kids.

I thought this may interest some Oz golfers, and I would love for even just one group to come and play. Come as a four, a single or as a family and make a day of it. We have plenty of prizes, and it is considered one of the highlights on the clubs calender, that non members are most welcome to attend.

Pricing is a flat $25 for members, or non-members.

Come have a hit, a laugh, and just enjoy the day with a group of your mates, or better still your Ozgolf mates.... ;)

[timah!]

Pops, count me in.

[PeteyD]

Damn won't be here that date.

[popper81]

Pops, count me in.

Good lad... Now get yourself a team ;) I will even let you wear fancy pants!

[Lagerlover]

You know I'm a sucker for the Ambrose.
Solo with the kids that weekend, could I leave them on the jumping castle for four hours?
God knows we've stood in a face painting cue that long before...

[timah!]

You be on my team!

Damn was hoping you'd be an in Lager!

[popper81]

Mate I would love to play, but i will be pulling strings else where I think... It all depends on how many 'helpers' i can round up.. Plus, I am awesome at sack races, always finish first ;)

[BroKar]

Pencil me, will confirm closer but sounds good

[ddasey]

Sounds like fun.

Pencil me in. Need to work on getting the day off.

[golfbound]

[Daves]

[popper81]

Bump... Time sheet is out, who is keen?

[timah!]

Yep, put me in.

[popper81]

Good lad, bringing a team???? hahaha

[timah!]

We'll see! :lol:

[timah!]

Any other OzGolfers up for this? Otherwise I will give it a miss...

[popper81]

Time sheet is filing up fast.... Have put pencil on two groups..

Jumping castle is booked...

BBQ

Heaps of prizes, raffles..

Bring the kids, make a day of it!

[AndyP]

I thought of this round the other day, as my potential first round after a break. Then I checked my calendar and saw that I was already booked :(

[Lagerlover]

Sorry pops, if you had a blue card I.... well actually no, I probably still wouldn't... use your crèche facility.

Shame, I love the ambrose, and $25 is way cheaper than the norm.

Good luck with the day sweet cheeks.

[Daves]

I am in.

[popper81]

Anyone keen to join Dave and Timah?

[sms316]

Hmmm... Never played Mt Warren.

[timah!]

Do it Shaun!

[popper81]

It is amazing.... :lol:

[timah!]

It's better than Nambour!

[PeteyD]

flatter anyway

[sms316]

Sorry Tim. I need to watch tv that day.

[timah!]

Sorry Tim. I need to watch tv that day.

No tv in a cart?

[sms316]

No tv in a cart? Rowey banned them.

[timah!]

That's unfortunate. I reckon they'd be a real winner.

[popper81]

Any more interest in this?

[3Puttpete]

Any more interest in this? Yep. Me

[popper81]

Awesome... That is 3, one more?

[ddasey]

Awesome... That is 3, one more?

Sorry mate, was all keen but couldn't wrangle it with work.

I'll be working down at Stanthorpe instead :neutral:

[sms316]

So do you need 2 more? I've got a mate up from Canberra and we are playing Pelican Waters at 6.30am. We could make it (assuming he wants to).

[popper81]

Think we have Daves, 3putt, Timah....

[sms316]

Ok. We'll get our drunk on instead.

[timah!]

Sorry Pops, I'm out. Booked in at Gainsborough on Sat instead.

Shaun, you and your mate play...

[sms316]

I'll make a call.

[Daves]

Given this is an Ambrose and the forecast is looking a bit dodgy, can we order Carts for this?

[3Puttpete]

With tv?

[Daves]

With tv?

That would be good, we could watch the final holes of the Masters!:wink:

[3Puttpete]

Any news on the carts?

[timah!]

Should be fine to get one Pete. Just ring the pro shop in the am.

[3Puttpete]

Cheers. You still keen Daves?

[Daves]

Cheers. You still keen Daves?

Yep, I will make the call in the morning.

Do we have a 4? Are you playing Mudguts? and if so do you want me to book a cart for you as well?

[sms316]

No go. Sorry lads.

[popper81]

Carts fine, no need to call...

I have a couple of spares up my sleeve if it ends up as only two..

[3Puttpete]

Sweet. Thanks Popper and Daves

[popper81]

Thanks so much 3puttpete and Dave!!!

Great effort guys, sorry for the muck about before tee off.... I didn't want to stitch you up with the wrong crowd. Hope you enjoyed the day, appreciate the effort in making it down.

[markTHEblake]

Why do they call you Cappy?

[popper81]

Why do they call you Cappy? Who are you referring to?

[markTHEblake]

You!

[popper81]

Who calls me Cappy???

[timah!]

Who calls me Cappy???

Blakey?

Unless its short for captain?

[popper81]

Blakey?

Unless its short for captain?

My guess is that is correct..... Why Cappy? Only Blakey knows at this stage... :roll:

[markTHEblake]

I dont know, that is why i asked! Well I guess your kiddies are calling you that behind your back. There has gotta be a story that goes with that. ;-)

[popper81]

I dont know, that is why i asked! Well I guess your kiddies are calling you that behind your back. There has gotta be a story that goes with that. ;-)

This riddle now make sense...... :)

Very boring story, to be honest..... But, I was his captain...... well, except for one day, when I turned up well and truly under the weather, and promptly promoted the young bloke in question to captain. My finest hour :lol:

[markTHEblake]

Oh wait. Maybe he said Crappy.

[Daves]

Good Day Pops. Enjoyed playing with the young tackers and Ron. A couple of great swings there. Young Yevin just needs some size/strength, he has a beautiful pure swing. And Tiger absolutely smashes.

Boys & Girls.... Bump for this again.. it is coming around a lot earlier this year due to the PGA being earlier in the year. It would be awesome if we could get a couple of groups together to play. Perfect warm up prior to champs ;)

[PeteyD]

Can my boy play in this? He doesn't have a handicap or anything yet as he is just a cadet member at Reddy.

[popper81]

Can my boy play in this? He doesn't have a handicap or anything yet as he is just a cadet member at Reddy.

Yep. There will be a couple of teams with 5 and 6 years old in them. They will just play off the yellows.

[PeteyD]

sweet. I shall speak to the management and let you know.

[Lagerlover]

I'm up for this pops.

[popper81]

Lager, I will put your name down. Is the young fella going to play? You want your own group?

[Marto65]

Lager ... have you got a blue card?

[popper81]

Lager ... have you got a blue card?

Marto, you should play.. i would really appreciate it. I will team you up with little Gracie, she is 6... At least you will have a long driver in the group.

[Marto65]

Will contemplate it popper and clear it with my parole officer.

[popper81]

Will contemplate it popper and clear it with my parole officer.

Do it.. Bring a team.

[popper81]

We actually have some minor sponsorship spots still available... Gets you entry into the day for yourself and 3 others. All legit with receipts etc. PM if you are interested or can help out.

[Lagerlover]

Lager ... have you got a blue card? Ironically, yes I do.

[Lagerlover]

Lager, I will put your name down. Is the young fella going to play? You want your own group? I was going to entertain whatever motley Crüe you can scrape up from here... failing that, I'll bring out the little weapon!

[Marto65]

I was going to entertain whatever motley Crüe you can scrape up from here... failing that, I'll bring out the little weapon!Isn't that what the blue card is for?

[popper81]

Lager, bring the boy... It will be worth it.

[Double D]

I will be able to make this..any room with Timah the ambrose expert if he is still playing?

[PeteyD]

I will be there with #1.

[popper81]

I will be able to make this..any room with Timah the ambrose expert if he is still playing?

DD, I have merged last years thread... & changed a few things. Not sure on Timmy.

Get a team together, I know I Jared would love it.

Otherwise.... You could be our pro for the day if nothing else has been lined up? Hit shots on 9 all day? We can work out some $$$ payment ( if required) if you would be keen.

Or...

Grab a mate or two, and we will stick you with some of our better quality kids. They love playing with good players. Massive kick for them.


I will be there with #1.

Will wait & see who is else is keen.. Get that goughy bloke to bring his young fella down. Or DC & DC junior.

[timah!]

What date? Nov 3? Will see DD...

[3Puttpete]

I'll be in this. Ambrose form is good, coming off a last start win.

[Double D]

Gees I am clever..can hit balls off a tee if you like Popper no problems. Let's see how Tim goes I'm sure he will be good for a hit.

[IamViva]

i should be keen poops. i think i'll bring jaybam and make a group of 4 with lager. kids should be exposed to our type of 'play' at a young age, it builds character!

[Lagerlover]

i should be keen poops. i think i'll bring jaybam and make a group of 4 with lager. kids should be exposed to our type of 'play' at a young age, it builds character! Koalas?

[popper81]

Good stuff boys... Appreciate it.

DD, I have a meeting tomorrow with the Love doctor. will let you know the outcome... He maybe in touch :)

[Double D]

No worries Popper..had a quick chat to him this avo. Let me know what I've gotta do!!

Also a thought, Lovey might be able to get a more seasoned pro with his connections and the Aus PGA the following week..but I'm more than happy to hit balls certainly done it before

[popper81]

That is true, especially with Anton working down there as well. Either way, make sure you come down. Worst case jump in with Cal & a couple of lads.

[Marto65]

Pops. I'm in for this. Hook me up with some kids that need to learn some new words.

[Double D]

I'm good to hit balls on the 9th or tee it up, just have a chat to the Lovemeister and let me know

[IamViva]

jb and myself are in, KoalaLover you keen?

[Lagerlover]

jb and myself are in, KoalaLover you keen? Yep

[popper81]

Out of curiosity, is it appropriate to shake his hand when congratulating him?

[Lagerlover]

Out of curiosity, is it appropriate to shake his hand when congratulating him? Yes, but you need to be quick.

[popper81]

Today is the day.... Looking forward to those making the journey. Shaping as a perfect day for scoring.

[PeteyD]

Looking forward to it Pops. How much is a cart? Do we need to book one?

[Marto65]

Popper and I are in a team together. I predict that we will catch on fire.

[Lagerlover]

Today is the day.... Shaping as a perfect day for scoring. Good looking bloke like you and the talent on offer down that way... I'd say you're a definite candidate for a bit of saddle sore this time tomorrow.

[Lagerlover]

Popper and I are in a team together. I predict that we will catch on fire.

[Marto65]

Thanks for a great day Popper. The young kids were awesome, and you have moved into second favouritism for the champs with that performance. What is your anchor?

Also, having trouble opening the box containing the GOLF GPS WATCH GW1 by SURESHOT that we won. Please send instructions.

Ps. I should have been disqualified for not having a blue card.

[Marto65]

Pps. We were on fire.

[popper81]

We played as a 3ball... Yours is a dummy box.

You're just lucky we had to take 3 of your drives, we might not have got them in otherwise. ;)

[Double D]

You, Lovey and crew are doing good things for the kids down there Pops. Was also good to meet a few of the boys on here today...not so sure about QLDhacker though haha...enjoy the PGA with the kids!!

[Double D]

Also, I don't know what it involved but I'm in for the next Katy Perry day.

[Marto65]

You'll need a half decent partner DD. I may or may not be available.

[3Puttpete]

Thanks Pops.

Thanks also to Lager, Lager jnr and Jaybam for the hit. Shot of the day from our group was Lager jnr's chip to a couple of feet from about 50m and in the tree line. He was under a bit of pressure with a group on the next tee watching closely. They gave him an appropriate cheer too. None of the rest of us got close.

Don't know what you mean, I am a hacker.

What about my mate who should play off 30, nearly got you on the par 3 9th. Would of been a big pay day haha

Next time I play comp at windy, will give you a bell.

I couldn't believe the amount of high handicappers that knocked it close, mind you I hit some s@$& shots which didn't help. Sounds good I feel like getting out driven by 50 all day and watching a pure swing, instead of my tree lopping hack at the ball.

[Double D]

You'll need a half decent partner DD. I may or may not be available.

I'll partner myself if I have to, I'll find a Katy Perry shirt to wear.

[Marto65]

Popper ... I had to put the instruction booklet away for the GPS WATCH GW1 by SURESHOT that we won.

On page 6 it said ... Thankyou for purchasing the .... so I tore it up.

If you could get them to change it to ... Well done on winning the .... that would be fantastic.

Maybe I'll just get a crayon and some sticky tape.

You had two juniors, quit your whinging.

One week overseas and you turn into Clive James.

Ps. On a side note, Marto has perfected his golf for windy conditions. Nothing over shoulder height all day.

[Double D]

I recall a low one from you into 9 popper, nice and close. Just can't remember what you hit, little wedge I think? Jackson has to be good, dad being a pro and a former gun caddie.

Bump for Popper. This year it is Sunday November 2.

Thanks Mr P.

It is true.... Back on again.

There have been some extremely generous contributions over the past two years, thanks to those people. A quick update for those interested.

MWP now has over 60 juniors, with coaching on three afternoon after school and 3 or 4 groups Saturday mornings. That is 7 different groups.. Amazing really. They are even playing a 4 hole 2 ball Ambrose on Monday afternoon... The kids just love their golf!!!

The also won the inaugural SEQDGA peewee pennant flag this year, played over 9 holes.

Money used from last years fundraiser was used in many ways including:
- paid for a bus load of kids to go to the pga at Royal Pines... A heap of them met Scotty & Ricky so they were STOKED!!
- pennant shirts for peewee &18 hole pennant teams and
- cover costs for 1 junior to attend the pump golf clinic held in conjunction
- cover prizes in competitions

Young Yevin won this years C grade club championship and recently had 85 off the bat in a monthly medal. He is only 10 or 11 from memory.

If anyone is keen for a hit in this let me know and I am happy to sort it out for you.

Pop

[Lagerlover]

Is this on again?

[AndyP]

Is this on again?

You know you're not allowed around events for kids.

Post reported...to the authorities.

[Lagerlover]

I'm good to go. I've changed my name to Rolf and now wear size 8 florals with plunging necklines... but you already know that.
