2012 Australian PGA at Coolum

[backintheswing]

I am coming down for this. I'm just looking at tickets on the PGA site. They are $75 for a season pass. In the past I have always received tickets from Oxley Golf Club. As I am not a member there anymore, does anyone know what the deal is with tickets.

Will they be handed out to local clubs as per previous years.

[mike]

I'll be there for the 1st round only. Never been to a pro tournament.

[Courty]

I'll be there for the 1st round only. Never been to a pro tournament.

Been lifting weights in preparation? I hear Bowdo carries a ton of crap in his massive staff bag. :twisted:

[popper81]

Taking a bus load of juniors up on Sunday.... May also have a bag to carry for the first 2 days.

[Jarro]

I wouldn't mind going along for a day.

Went a few years ago with Eag's and it was awesome to see these guys up close.

Just checked my roster, and it looks like saturday might be the day i go :)

[sms316]

Enjoy this year's event. It might be the last at Coolum.

My caddying career is looking rather shaky.

Saw that in the local rag up here this morning.
A bit disappointing...

[Moe Norman]

I'll be going along, but I'm taking Sam Neill with me just in case.

[KristianJ]

Why don't you walk the fairways in a Dorothy the Dinosaur costume ? Good idea...Aussie golf could do with its answer to Bird Man.

[Double D]

I heard this was close to going to Sanctuary Cove next year but the members there decided it wasn't in their best interest.

[TheAwesom1]

I had heard that Twin Waters was on red alert as a backup plan for this year just in case Clive moved the goalposts at the last minute.

Well I'd say its definitely the swansong at Coolum. How could the PGA risk it there again.

I Heard he now has a Fake T-Rex near the 18th green.

[Sydney Hacker]

I Heard he now has a Fake T-Rex near the 18th green. As opposed to a real one?

[sms316]

As opposed to a real one? Bwahahaha!

[timah!]

As opposed to a real one?

Lolz...

[mike]

Oh my that is funny.

[sms316]

I've got a really ordinary feeling about this week, and I'm not talking about quality of play.

[Greeny]

I think there will be a few nervous people around Coolum this week hoping the event runs without any hitches from the course owner. Proving to be a little erratic.

[BrettM]

It was off yesterday, then back on. The owner doesn't want to back down on the advertising logo's being sprayed on the fairways - almost 4 per hole - 65 or so in total. After being told no he instructed his staff to head out and dig up the 9th green with an excavator, before being talked around it (he got his way with logo's).

Wonder if there are odds on whether the tournament will get through the week.

Maybe G69 has been hounding him for a reconstruction/redesign job??

[Steve57]

Actually I spent a few weeks working on layouts for a mini golf course. Now I am scared about signing a contract with this bloke.

I don't blame you. You look at him the wrong way and he will have you in court in no time flat.

[Eag's]

I don't blame you Rich, the bloke is a fruit loop.

[Sydney Hacker]

A guy I know just took a job there as a pro, I will have to find out how the negotiating was conducted.

[3Puttpete]

A guy I know just took a job there as a pro, I will have to find out how the negotiating was conducted. Probably over lunch. And dinner.

[PShaw]

All the above rumours are true. More importantly it is already being shopped around other Sunny Coast venues and still in the pipeline for Sanctuary Cove. I have access to about 10 one day passes if anyone wants them. I missed pre q today and cant be stuffed driving back up the sunny coast again this week, one round trip on the gateway and M1 will do for me. Collection from the driving range at Robina Woods, oops Palmer gold coast. But be warned I may install some dinosaurs at the range soon so be careful when coming in, lol

[AndyP]

Any chance of posting the passes? If Jarro and Eag's are still going, I could grab some for them.

[popper81]

I have spots on a bus trip, leaving on Sunday from Southside if anyone is interested... Pm me for details

[markTHEblake]

Clive Palmer is awesome. I haven't had so much fun reading about him since Joh was driving the wrong way up one way streets.

[Eag's]

Cheers AP.

[AndyP]

Ok, I will leave my C4 at home, but I always take my AK-47 with me to golf......

[Eag's]

Damn, I had my dates mixed up, I thought the PGA was on the 20th-23rd :(
I am working this weekend AP so don't worry about my tickets.

[Lagerlover]

Ah the JFK mystery solved.

Aussie Golfer also believes that some of the tense negotiations centred around Palmer's wish to hold a memorial to John F. Kennedy on the ninth hole during Saturday's third round.The Herald-Sun reported (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/jfks-daughter-will-help-launch-titanic-ii-project-says-clive-palmer/story-fncynkc6-1226487268433) that JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy intends to help Palmer launch his replica Titanic which may partially explain the memorial plans.

partially explain?... the whole palmer/coolum pairing is now crystal clear.
I can almost see big Clive up the front of the ship with arms spread.."top of the world mofo's".

[popper81]

Makes Popper look like AndyP?

Ah you guys missed the next line of my post! - "Well, if it can be explained at all."

[Jarro]

AndyP, i doubt i'll be able to go this weekend now either :(

[BrisWesty]

Clive Palmer is awesome. I haven't had so much fun reading about him since Joh was driving the wrong way up one way streets.

Don't you worry about that, young Mark, I am only going one way. (And I only turn to the right!) Now let me go have some of Lady Flo's pumpkin scones.

[AndyP]

AndyP, i doubt i'll be able to go this weekend now either :(No problem, guys.

[CobraSS]

I wouldn't mind a couple of free passes if some are floating around?

[sms316]

I wouldn't mind a couple of free passes if some are floating around? Shouldn't be a problem. I'll confirm tomorrow.

[sms316]

I don't know if the draw has been published online yet, but there is a very interesting pairing - Ogilvy and Allenby.

I've got a nice walk with Adam Crawford and David Bransdon.

[CobraSS]

I will say hello as I always follow Adam for a few holes.

I will say hello as I always follow Adam for a few holes. We are away at 11am on Thursday and 6am on Friday.

[PeteyD]

I thought the dinosaur thing was a joke. Go clive, must be taking his cues from caddyshack 2

[Shane788]

I can't believe he has another 143 dinosaurs to go, that's about 8 each fairway once he is finished......

[sms316]

I can't believe he has another 143 dinosaurs to go, that's about 8 each fairway once he is finished......
I don't think many more (if any) are going on the course itself. They are going around the resort.

[Marto65]

He's making a joke of the whole thing.

Next he'll be changing the name of the place to Popperworld.

[darkeststar07]

I can't believe he has another 143 dinosaurs to go, that's about 8 each fairway once he is finished......

so with the dinosaurs, how does relief comes into play? Line of sight, outside agency etc..??

[mike]

Depends on the dinosaur. Two club lengths from a T rex is hardly enough imo.

[backintheswing]

We are away at 11am on Thursday and 6am on Friday.

Will have to be your second nine on Friday then, as I dont get there till mid-morning.

[markTHEblake]

I cant figure out what is the relationship between a dead lizard and the tinnie he is building.

[3Puttpete]

Mining, climate change, rising sea level, flood, animals, boat...

Norman has pulled out after two holes with food poisoning

[Bushka]

They really narrowed the field this year. I've been watching one hd for two hours and it appears there's only six people on the course

[sms316]

Disappoint.

[Marto65]

[sms316]

Poornteenagots?Thought I'd leave that there when my iPhone changes "poor tee shots?" to the above. Piss poor second shots on both holes. 2 balls in the piss on 3 and a filthy hook into a garden on 5.

Bounce him back mate.

[sms316]

He's doing detention as we speak.

[Lagerlover]

Not your fault, the 6 and the 9 look so much alike.

[BenM]

I enjoyed seeing Allenby chipping with a 3 wood.

[mike]

Bought a beer and a sausage roll at one of the refreshment tents. Guy says 14 dollars. I said "14 dollars? I only wanted one of each". He didn't get the joke. No wonder Palmer can afford all these dinosaurs.

Normal size. 330 ml Hahn SuperDry.

Pretty sure the Refreshments concessions belongs to the PGA (who contract them out (read sell), not Clive.

[PeteyD]

Might be one of the issues Clive has with the PGA.

The Appleby quote reminded me of an incident, when cycling in a pack ten years ago.

I was leading through Hornsby, and doing the usual call outs of pothole, glass, jogger, etc. Then I saw a toy dinosaur in the gutter, and it must have been the only time a peloton ever heard 'Dinosaur!'.

[sms316]

Did you take the opportunity...?;) I wanted to but it would have been inappropriate.

You know, for a stupid idea there are a ton of photos being distributed with dinosaurs in them.

Even if Clive can be a dick, he sure knows how to get attention.

Of course he does. He seems to enjoy it quite a lot and its fairly cheap advertising for his name

Talk about calm as a cucumber down the stretch. I did have a little chuckle to myself about Allenby's double, double finish though ;)

[Eag's]

Typical Pro golfer tan line.

[Jarro]

Good win to the young fella.

Shame to see Pamps stink it up over the final few though.... he had a great round going.

[Eureka]

Might've been answered...what club is Popovic from?

[Webster]

He used to be at Kew in Melboure, but he was wearing a Heritage shirt today.

[sms316]

At least the asterisk got a week off.

[WBennett]

Poppa has been everywhere. He was a junior at Yowani where (according to the Canberra Times) he idolised Matt Millar. He has now had one more Aus PGA tour win than Matt...

[Hooker]

Toss pot Popa is the new Australian PGA champion that has run away with the trophy leading from day one and winning by four shots . How he did it , who cares .

What about Pampling's nerve? I wonder if he will turn up at the Wynnum Pro-am today.

[popper81]

I had a great day at PGA yesterday.... Was hungover as hell, and everything hurts today. I managed to see plenty of great golf, the boys were pouring the birdies in early.

* Poppa played out of his skin, from what I saw of him. The quality of the putt from off the green was sensational. I was about 5m from him, and he was dead. The steepness of the bank made the shot so much harder, to get up a down under that pressure, WELL DONE, SON. He seemed to be the people fav yesterday, with the younger crew anyway.

* Pamps played well, but thing started to change early on the back nine. Early on everything he hit was crisp. Being a a follower of RSS it was awesome to watch him at work.

* Watched Clarke/Bowdo group early, But decided to ditch the group after 5 holes because I had put the mozza on Bowdo. Clarke started hot, and hit a couple of cracking shots ( the second into the par 5 3rd to set up eagle was crazy good) .

* Jeff the T-Rex is cool.... Uncle Clive has done well ;).

[CobraSS]

I also followed Bowdo's group around, but for the full 18 holes, the new 1st hole is tough, Bowdo finding the edge of the trees with his drive then putting his third into the piss and then another one in the piss on the 3rd hole, made for a poor start, 4 under on the back nine helped his cause, but too little to late. Clarke started well, 4 under after 5 holes, but just couldn't go on with it.

Happy for hooker to have a rip as the young bloke put on a stirling performance and shouldn't be slanded for no reason.I was also unaware of mummies boy posting a video of me. Maybe poops should of recorded the one from off the 16th green, where he said he would give me $40 if I made it and it hit the pin.

[backintheswing]

One of the things I noticed was a lot of the pro's are sponsored by Titleist, and have their bags, caps, clothes, FJ shoes etc. Most of them seem to use the 712 irons and vokey wedges. A large number though are hitting the TM white drivers (R11s or RBZ) ans using odyssey putters, all camouflaged under Titlest head covers. Titleist must have the best sales team and largest endorsement bucket I would say.

So true... Scary really ;)

One of the things I noticed was a lot of the pro's are sponsored by Titleist, and have their bags, caps, clothes, FJ shoes etc. Most of them seem to use the 712 irons and vokey wedges. A large number though are hitting the TM white drivers (R11s or RBZ) ans using odyssey putters, all camouflaged under Titlest head covers. Titleist must have the best sales team and largest endorsement bucket I would say.

BITS, so true.
Ther Pro-Am i played up at Glenmore (KJ's home track) was dominated by Titleist gear on the prctice green....
Both Pro's i played with where fully kitted out with Titty gear, sans 1 putter.......(Betti something from memory)
Same story at the Aussie Open.
I suppose only the top Aussie players really get to choose/approached by other big name Company's, looks like Titty throw gear at the rest,....

Thought I would bring up the demise of the 2012 Aust PGA Champ, Daniel Popovic. I was just on the PGA site, checking dates for upcoming tournaments, and was perusing the moneylist.

Popovic has made $740.00 this year. Anyone know if he has been injured, or just a shit golfer who robbed me of Pampling winning at 50-1.

He hasn't talked about his golf much on his twitter account. Lots of North Kangaroos tweets though.

I think I recall seeing him on some golfing show on Fox with Jeff Wilson (aka George Gregan's tackling bag) a couple of months ago driving BMW X5s down the Great Ocean Road...
