[idgolfguy]

In
Can probably get another couple non-Ozgolfers interested too.

[Veefore]

At this stage most probably in.

I'd say TWM & Veeman would be interested too.

[Johnny Canuck]

Most rikrey in.

[Shadesy]

Hey count me in Bergmeister.

[simmsy]

In mate.
U say sat playing rights?
I'm 6 day at Harty so if that gets me in, I'm in.

[Jeffo1123]

I'll most likely give this a crack!

[Veefore]

6, 7 & 8 pen please

[Shadesy]

Surely KB falls into the A and C Category's?

Or is it B for Bogan?

[Johnny Canuck]

D I believe.

[Shadesy]

D I believe.

Elitist F*8ks :-)

[Johnny Canuck]

It stems from a lack of a junior program, limited lady members and facilities, if I remember correctly.

[Shadesy]

I cannot actually find the classifications anywhere online.

i Guess I might be out then which sucks. Surely a well written email to the club might help. Bergsey, agree to date the female captain or something?

[rubin]

Im in for this one. definately.

[Johnny Canuck]

I cannot actually find the classifications anywhere online.i Guess I might be out then which sucks. Surely a well written email to the club might help. Bergsey, agree to date the female captain or something? Submit your entry and see what happens. It may have changed. I was able to enter events I technically should not have been able to when I ess a member.

[bergsey]

WA Golf Association (http://www.golfwa.org.au) lists Kennedy as a public course club and not a metropolitan club.

I think that is the difference unfortunately (i.e. not fully affiliated with Golf WA). I will double check though

[TourFit]

Pencil please...

The missus leaves for Bali with friends on the 12th...so I'm hoping to take some time off work to have a father & son week!

[hocko]

[Jeffo1123]

[Nuffie]

Pencil me down for this. As much as this course likes to kick my butt, it always gets me back to try break 80 and for the experience of playing such a well kept and interesting course. One of the calendar events that I really look fwd to each year.

[Yossarian]

I'm keen. My membership category should be good enough.

[Ashes]

Would a country membership at a course in the sticks somewhere get me qualified for this?

[idgolfguy]

Please add Sean Sadler and Marc Griffiths (Vines Members and non-Ozgolf).

[bergsey]

Would a country membership at a course in the sticks somewhere get me qualified for this?

If it is a category A or C club as per the discussions above and you have saturday playing rights then no problemo.

[idgolfguy]

Got another Vines member to be included - Rein Loo.

Should I just take care of these 4 now?

[bergsey]

Got another Vines member to be included - Rein Loo.

Yeah probably easiest mate, have updated the OP into groupings of 4.

Veefore, are you happy to do likewise and organise the entry for yourself, Veeman and TWM? Hopefully one of the pencils can commit

Cheers

[bergsey]

Those in pencil, anyone a definate starter now?

Cheers

[simmsy]

cheers Bergsey.

[Johnny Canuck]

Out, stupid wedding.

[TourFit]

Also definately out. Sorry.

[Veefore]

Yeah probably easiest mate, have updated the OP into groupings of 4.

Veefore, are you happy to do likewise and organise the entry for yourself, Veeman and TWM? Hopefully one of the pencils can commit

Cheers

Yeah, can do. I usually do it for TWM and VM anyway.

[bergsey]

Spoke to the club today, Shadesy's entry is ok so i will put in our entry form for group 1 on Saturday.

Apparently the whole category "A" and "C" club structure has been changed recently anyway !

[idgolfguy]

Already sent the our Vines entry on the weekend.

[Ashes]

I assume the structure hasn't changed enough for PGN members to be welcome?

[bergsey]

No category of "unwashed" still denied :)

[Ashes]

Good call by the club I must say; keep the heathens out! :)

[Shadesy]

Thanks bergsey.

Look forward to it, can't imagine I'll be shooting any sort of a score.

[Veefore]

I'll be sending in the entry for TWM, Veeman & I next week sometime.

[rubin]

this is going to be very interesting.

First hit on Sunday morning for about 6 weeks now, that will dictate how much practice i put in to make sure I can string a round together for this.

[hocko]

I'll be sending in the entry for TWM, Veeman & I next week sometime.

Need a fourth Greg? I could make this.

[Veefore]

Need a fourth Greg? I could make this.

I was going to ask around the club tomorrow but we'd be very happy to have you along.
Just need your GL number for the entry form.

[hocko]

Sweet, I'll PM details

[simmsy]

good work Hocko.

bergsey get him starting on 12 if you can mate. ;)

[hocko]

good work Hocko.

bergsey get him starting on 12 if you can mate. ;)

14 I reckon

[bergsey]

good work Hocko. bergsey get him starting on 12 if you can mate. ;) The clubs would really helicopter well off the 12th tee box.. :)

[hocko]

The clubs would really helicopter well off the 12th tee box.. :)

Have you ever seen me helicopter a club Bergs? It is all a myth ;)

[Johnny Canuck]

Have you ever seen me helicopter a club Bergs? It is all a myth ;)

About as much of a myth as the floorburger.

[Veefore]

Group 3 Entry sent.

[bergsey]

Group 1 entry in.

[rubin]

starting to look forward to this... been a while since i played a comp round (october at champs rings a bell) but been years since i played at WAGC.

[Veefore]

Bergsey, can you update our group to include Hocko please?

[idgolfguy]

Group 2 in already.

[Johnny Canuck]

Group 2 in already. As stated by you on the 19th.

[Golfnut]

Look out, thread police on duty!

[simmsy]

he's been cranky of late.

[Golfnut]

So have I!

[hocko]

Hot weather will do that to a Yank!

[idgolfguy]

As stated by you on the 19th.
Still considered an addition to post count.

Just finished watching the Hobbit. A bit long winded!

[hocko]

Good book, prelude to The Lord of the Rings. Just like Star Wars.... Put the last bit first and then the first bit? Have they made a fillum of The Simirillion yet?

[simmsy]

Still considered an addition to post count.

NUFFIETHEGOLFMAN'S new avatar name?

[hocko]

NUFFIETHEGOLFMAN'S new avatar name?

Well played

[Golfnut]

NUFFIETHEGOLFMAN'S new avatar name? :lol:

[Johnny Canuck]

Good work simmo. We needed that option in the poll.

[idgolfguy]

I thought the poll was done. Nuffie is a contraction of the original.

Pretty amazing when the word summary means warm in his vocabulary.

[bergsey]

starting to look forward to this... been a while since i played a comp round (october at champs rings a bell) but been years since i played at WAGC.

I've warned all the house owners down the right side of the boundary fences :)

[rubin]

I've warned all the house owners down the right side of the boundary fences :)

The rights fine mate, its the left side thats in the shit now. :)

[Golfnut]

There goes any one of the houses near 10,11 & 12 ;)

[TourFit]

I once hit a house left of 11. Was with Bergsey too.



Just finished watching the Hobbit. A bit long winded!

Have you read Tolkien? He's a long winded kind of guy...the first 200 pages of LOTR is a pretty long slog, for example. And I also went an saw The Hobbit the other night in 3D. WOW, just WOW!

[idgolfguy]

I thought the 3D was over rated.

I have read Tolkien when I was 11. Read the books again in later life.

I was hoping the movie was abridged. There was a bit of superfluous stuff that took time.

[Johnny Canuck]

There goes any one of the houses near 10,11 & 12 ;) I hit it over the tenth fence at least 50% of the time on my approach. Hate that shot.

[hocko]

I hit it over the tenth fence at least 50% of the time on my approach. Hate that shot.

Every time you have been in my group you have... chopper!

[Johnny Canuck]

Ball magnet. I have the unique talent of never making it to the road either. Just sneak them over.

[TourFit]

next time...just bounce it off the fence. Isn't that your 'new' specialty shot?

[bergsey]

Ball magnet. I have the unique talent of never making it to the road either. Just sneak them over.

Hit the roof of a 4WD from the greenside bunker. Was parked right next to the fence !

[Johnny Canuck]

[TourFit]

Nice new avatar Canuck...a pretty good season for Cinncy.

My Vikings did the job against those Cheeseheads on the weekend to get into the playoffs (and can the hopes of the Bears, YAY!), only to find themselves up against them next week at Lambeau :roll: But just how good was AP...9 yds short FFS.

Based on the players' value to his team, AP should be MVP by a street. Without him the Vikes would be no more than a 6-10 team for the year...possibly a LOT worse.

I was very disappoint that AP didn't get the record. I have been a huge fan of his since he came in the league. His season is by far the most impressive in history, coming off the ACL surgery.

The Vikes looked good last week. The Pack in Lambeau is a different kettle of fish, but anything can happen in a one game playoff.

Cincy is in a bit of trouble with "The Law Firm" hurting this week.

[TourFit]

Agreed that The Pack are way harder to beat in the cold of Lambeau (hence the smilie)...and while the Vikes did look good, they didn't really finish it off. They got fairly decent leads TWICE and got pegged back. But their kicker is the best long range guy I've ever seen. 9 from 9 over 50 this year and nearly every kick off is a touch back, 'cos it ends up so deep in their end zone.

I think Cinncy will struggle to get past week 1. As will we, especially at Lambeau.

For me I think that some of the match-ups will be very interesting...I haven't been that impressed with the Ravens much, and Indy made a late charge but have been ordinary at times. Could be an exciting game.

[Jeffo1123]

Anyone else looking at playing this? Or anyone pulling out..

[idgolfguy]

Group is ready and waiting to play. Sorry.

[Veefore]

Group 3 is out. Apparently we didn't make the ballot. :-(

[hocko]

Group 3 is out. Apparently we didn't make the ballot. :-(
How the friggin hell did we not make the ballot???????

[simmsy]

Ouch.

Royal Freo members have playing rights at other clubs??

[hocko]

That's got fur on it, some people have to organize their lives around golf.
Now we have to organize some more.
Not happy with WAGC i can tell you.

[Shadesy]

Ballot?

[bergsey]

That's disappointing VeeforeOn the entry form it says that entries are subject to ballot by handicap if they receive too many. I reckon it should be first in best dressedThe website says the draw will be up 5pm tomorrowPS I haven't heard of them having to go to a ballot before so perhaps they got a heap of entries

[idgolfguy]

How do you know? Don't see anything on the website.

Ballot by handicap....how does someone off 6 not get a guernsey??????

[rubin]

Ballot by handicap....how does someone off 6 not get a guernsey??????

doesnt seem right - especially as entries close today at 5pm apparently (according to the site anyway).

get stuck into em Hocko.

[TourFit]

Ballot by handicap....how does someone off 6 not get a guernsey??????

Your missus was talkin' to Mrs 'Nut...and Mrs 'Nut on her behalf, rang up and told them that you are unable to play as you have too much work to do ;)

[idgolfguy]

When I looked on Saturday, my group was 4th or 5th on the list.

[hocko]

Where did you look?

[Shadesy]

Bergsey do we owe you money?

[Golfnut]

Maybe my missus needs to have a chat to yours 'Fit.....get back to work! ;)

[idgolfguy]

http://www.wagolfclub.com.au/welcome/index.mhtml
There was a link that showed all the groups in order registration.

[hocko]

The draw is out and we didn't get a guernsey!
I still cannot understand how we missed out when our entry has been in for at least 2 weeks.
Not frickin impressed i can tell you.

[hocko]

Group 3 Entry sent.
This is dated the 22/12/12
Was that not early enough?

[TourFit]

Maybe my missus needs to have a chat to yours 'Fit.....get back to work! ;)

I'm still on holiday...start back next Monday

[Golfnut]

I'm still on holiday...start back next Monday Holiday from WHAT???

[bergsey]

Bergsey do we owe you money?

Yeah mate, $30. Just give it to me on Sunday.

Draw is out, full field of 144 - http://www.wagolfclub.com.au/upload/wysiwyg/Homeleft/MpPdf20130109134908.pdf

We are off the 3rd Tee (my least favourite hole). ID is off the 12th.

[rubin]

thanks for organising bergs.

Looking forward to it lads.

[bergsey]

This is dated the 22/12/12
Was that not early enough?

Sucks big time.

I think it should be first in, but they did say there would be a ballot if too many entries received.

Given most people probably entered a full group of 4 people i don't know how they would feasibly cherry pick people out based on handicap so perhaps they put all the groups into a draw?

I know for the WAGC Amateur Open that they do definately go based on handicap as it is a state ranking event. They also randomly group people so wouldn't be a big deal if one person missed out.

I'm assuming they rang Veefore and gave him some further explanation as to the reason why?

[idgolfguy]

This is dated the 22/12/12
Was that not early enough?
Ours was sent on the 14th.

[Shadesy]

Apparently it might rain. I will probably win if that is the case.

[Johnny Canuck]

The draw is out and we didn't get a guernsey!I still cannot understand how we missed out when our entry has been in for at least 2 weeks.Not frickin impressed i can tell you. Maybe the guys from Melville organised it?

[rubin]

how so??

I'm a master of the 'wet' conditions. ;)

[Shadesy]

My last 5 games have been in the rain. Actually that's a lie. One was dry, but every one should play on frozen greens At least once in their lifetimes.

[idgolfguy]

Par on Sunday.

[hocko]

Par on Sunday.

Really!

[Veefore]

How do you know? Don't see anything on the website.

Scott sent me an email to say that we didn't get in because it was oversubscribed. I replied asking how two 7's and two 8's miss out if the ballot is on handicap but he never responded.

[Johnny Canuck]

Fromy's group with him off scratch, Gooch off 2 and Steve T off of 5 didn't get in either.

[idgolfguy]

Don't believe it was a ballot. Perhaps the accepted the first 80% of entries and balloted the later entries for the remaining groups.

[adlo]

idgg, I used to golf with Rein every week at Wembley. Nice guy. But chopped his way out from 6 to 15 the only way WAGL knew how, 0.1 a round. Man, was that ugly to watch. How is he hitting them these days?

[Veefore]

I don't believe it either. But then again, WAGC don't seem to care too much about following GWA rules or guidelines. Sometimes they don't even follow their own.

Small world. Always wondered why he wasn't lower. We have a four for about 3 or 4 years now.

He plays off 12ish. Is a great striker and makes a lot of pars but seems to always implode. Great sand game and putting.

Golf is like that.
He lives off 6th green at Lakes.

[Yossarian]

I'm out.

[Golfnut]

:lol:

[mike]

Guys. Where's Watty?

[simmsy]

He's taken up lawn bowls.

Reckons were all a bunch of tossers.

[mike]

Oh. Righto.

[adlo]

He was 98% correct

[simmsy]

Are u really 2% worth??

[adlo]

Don't get me wrong, I am a tosser and Watty hates my guts but I thought he was fond of you and the Canadian.

[Shadesy]

He's always been a poor judge.

[sms316]

Guys. Where's Watty?
I think AndyP had him terminated after he was endorced by Club 14.

[TourFit]

Don't they cull gingers in Coolbelup?

[rubin]

MegaSloppy?

[bergsey]

Clubs packed, looking forward to this

Forecast is storms tomorrow but later in the evening. Hopefully get through ok.

[simmsy]

Yeah hope so but packing for rain.

[Ashes]

Yeah hope so but packing for rain.

Surely wet weather gear isn't required in the middle of summer?

[Shadesy]

I have been hanging for a dry game for 5 weeks. It's been stinking hot here, dry and all I have done is wrap up and play golf in the rain.

Finally I come back, ready to play on some nice hard fairways where I don't have I hit ball first in case I get mud and there is no danger of the ball
Plugging an disappearing and guess what the forecast is...

Friggen Rain!

See you boys tomorrow.

[rubin]

See you tomorrow lads. Looks as though rain is in later in the day. Should be good in thw morning

[Nuffie]

Play well. The weather appears overcast with no rain and it's also a cooler temp for playing (for a change).

[simmsy]

I disappoint myself yet again. :(

[Johnny Canuck]

What did Hocko shoot?

[simmsy]

so shadesy and me had a wager on today's score with me coming out the LOSER!!

so Shades gets to choose my avatar for the rest of January. help the young fella out with your ideas as he's pretty limited in life experiences.

;)

[simmsy]

What did Hocko shoot?


didn't see him, there was a bloke that looked just like Brett Ogle though.

[idgolfguy]

Played OK with some poor putting. Finally played to handicap.

IDG - 0
Marc - 0
Sean - -2
Rein - -2

[Shadesy]

Good group ID

We fared a little worse.

Bergsey -1
Shadesy -2
Simmsy -4
Rubin -7

I flushed it all day (only mishit one) but putted like Yoss at the end. I was 4 down with 5 to play and wanted to finish square. Had 6 putts for a plus on the last 3 holes and missed then all (including one under a foot).. Sigh.

Hole 1 was interesting, 239 to the pin, into the breeze. I nailed a 3 wood and still only landed middle of the green.

[idgolfguy]

I punched a 1w pin high right green. 3 putted. Could not hit putts firm enough to make distances.

[bergsey]

Thanks for the company guys, was good fun. You are right ID, the greens weren't overly quick but seemed to roll ok. Probably a touch slower than normal Saturday comp pace.

Looks like the winner was on +3. I would have thought someone would have shot the lights out.

[Shadesy]

Thanks for hosting us Bergsey. You played nicely for some good stretches there.

[bergsey]

No one else looks so good chopping it... :)

[simmsy]

Yeah thx for the invite bergs. Shame none of played all that well.

[idgolfguy]

Looks like the winner was on +3. I would have thought someone would have shot the lights out.
With the number of groups playing, if the greens were faster, there would be a lot more putts required and the time taken would rise exponentially.

Good decision to play Par and control speed of the greens.

Plus 2 on the front, -2 on the back due poor putting. Had 5 minuses unfortunately.

Still a chopper!

[adlo]

Sounds like the field was full of choppers. Shame Hocko wasn't allowed out there.

[idgolfguy]

There were because, I believe the prizes were won by low HCs primarily.

[simmsy]

Still had hold ups though. We were waiting most of the day then on our last hole there were 3 groups on the tee and 3 groups playing the hole.

[bergsey]

They should have told all mandatory call up on par 3's. if you are going to be waiting to tee off on the next hole might as well call people up ...

[simmsy]

Yep. Esp at WAGC where u have 3 long par3's

[rubin]

thanks for the round lads. My golf sucked, but it was enjoyable all the same. 7 down isnt a bad result considering i hadn't really had a hit a decent track for 2/3 months.

Started coming together at the end, just took me 18 holes to work out what the F*** I was doing with the ball.

Thanks again for the round Bergsey.

[rubin]

Yep. Esp at WAGC where u have 3 long par3's

Having to wait on pretty much all of them for the 4 old muppets ahead of us was quite annoying. I swear those guys were out for their Sunday stroll in the morning. I reckon they only called us u on 1 cause the blokes ahead of them suggested it....

[idgolfguy]

There saws nowhere to go any. We waited on every hole.

[bergsey]

As soon as i asked the guys in front of us to tee off before they blew the siren and they basically told me to get stuffed then i knew it was going to be a long day. Everyone was in position so no point standing around on the tee staring at an empty fairway...

[rubin]

It was an indication yes.

I thought it was also somewhat nice of them to Wait on the 2nd until the group ahead of them was out of even for us, and then proceeded to hit into deep shit about 150m away. If you going to wait until a group is almost 300m away, you want to be damn sure you put it up their ass when u tee off.

[TourFit]

It was an indication yes.

you want to be damn sure you put it up their ass...

Interesting turn of phrase

If you going to wait until a group is almost 300m away, you want to be damn sure you put it up their ass when u tee off. The membership pack that I received when I joined Royal Freo had a list of things to observe to maintain the flow of play, last of which I think is very pertinent; "Don't confuse ambition with actual talent". This should be every choppers mantra.

Luckily I'm all talent and no ambition! ;)

[Johnny Canuck]

Luckily I'm all talent and no ambition! ;) Where does Yoss fall?

[idgolfguy]

He has organisation skills...according to him.

[rubin]

Luckily I'm all talent and no ambition! ;)

it was all ambition for me yesterday. I think i had at most, 5m on simmsy for most of the day. Felt ashamed to be outdriven by shadesy.

[Yossarian]

Where does Yoss fall?

Usually in walk in robes or under a tree at Freo Public.

[Ashes]

Where does Yoss fall?

All brown and no pink?

[simmsy]

New Avatar up today thank you to Shadesy for your choice. Shame your first choice didn't get past the mods.

It seems Shadesy is able to orchestrate so much more than the champs.
