Thinking of getting a bunch of us to play Penrith/ Somewhere?

[JADO75]

Just an idea at the moment but was thinking of trying organise a game on a Sunday at Penrith or wherever for some of us that live in or near Sydney in a few weeks. Nothing locked in as yet, more just to get an idea of who might be interested? Would be good to put some faces to names & meet the bunches of you that I haven't met. Doesn't have to be Penrith either, that is my home course & was the first place I thought of.

[Dotty]

Thanks for taking the initiative, Jado.

Unfortunately, full dance card at the moment, with men's and mixed fourball knockout comps, or caddy for pennant team.
My Sundays should free up by late March.

Next Sunday and the Sunday in three weeks work for me. The Sunday in a fortnight depends on what the tee time would be as I have to work pretty late the Saturday night.

[Grunt]

A maybe for me, just really depends on dates offered.

I've to play, as long as its not before 8.,,,,

[mrbluu]

I heard Dunheved is in really good nick at the moment. (before all this rain)

[JADO75]

Fairways are good, the greens are absolute poo! They're unbelievably slow, Penrith's greens have gotten a lot quicker the last month.

[Captain Nemo]

Looks like a quorum, lets get this thing happening....

[JADO75]

Early money is on stealth2, no pressure mate

[Dangals]

10th and 17th - after that I am going to be very hit and miss with our bub due around the 23rd.

Easy on location.

[mrbluu]

I'm out for the 10th. The 17th is doable

[Ermington_Lad]

I'm in depending on date as well....

[matty]

For stroke I'd agree. Stableford no hope.

[-FIGJAM-]

i'll come if you let hackers in. My old man probably would as well.

[JADO75]

17th as the date then? Then figure out a where

[Peppas]

Lock in a date Jado, wear the big boy pants and decide something :P

[liptout]

I'll be no good on the 17th boys, think I'm going fishing that whole weekend.

Not worry, have fun anyways...........

But I am available for a game this Sunday if anyone is keen or got a spot, not to concerned where.............

[wazandnic]

Yeah I'm out for 10th and 17th. OK for 24th??

Never going to please everyone though. Make the date and whoever can make it plays... then organise another next month! ;)

Ok so any ideas as to a location?

17th of feb is a good day for you Pepps.
12 months ago to the day you won a certain, treasured trophy at Wyong, if I remember correctly?? ;)

[blurry]

Im good for 17th

[Dangals]

ok just so we can keep this moving along - does anyone have some suggestions as to a location? also anyone that hasn't already confirmed if you could do so in order to gauge final numbers / book groups etc.

[mrbluu]

ok just so we can keep this moving along - does anyone have some suggestions as to a location? also anyone that hasn't already confirmed if you could do so in order to gauge final numbers / book groups etc.

I happy to play anywhere, but if ppl want I'll enquire about booking spots at Cabra. I think Glenmore might be the easiest to get 4-5 groups in. Let me know.

[KristianJ]

I think Glenmore might be the easiest to get 4-5 groups in.

I'd have offered to arrange something but I don't know if anyone would be keen on the traditional 5+ hour Sunday slog around Glenmore.

[Peppas]

Penrith on a Sunday doesn't seem to be too slow?

[rqrox]

We'd get on easy at Richmond!
Alternatively we could do Riverside oaks or Twin creeks. I'm not sure how much notice we would need to give TC to get that many on but it might be worth a go!

[Dangals]

Twin creeks could be good

[mrbluu]

Lynwood is a good place as well.

[stealth2]

17th and 24th both good for me. So my first question is does eveyone want to play in a comp or shall we do our our mini comp ? I practice most days of late out at Lynwood and it's in awesome nic at the moment, will cost a non member about $40 in comp for a game, Penrith is looking better and will cost $15 for the comp, dunheved is good will cost about $18 in comp. Twin Creeks is always fun but will set you back upwards of $80 but that will include a cart. Someone just make a random call and lets lock in the place and time to meet there. Of the courses mentioned, Penrith is very quiet on a Sunday afternoon whereas the others usually do a lot of social players. Jaydo you started this thread so make the call and lets do this. Look forward to meeting you all.

[stealth2]

If the choice is Penrith, Lynwood or Riverside Oaks I am happy to speak to the people I know at those places to get us on the sheet and booked in ?

[mrbluu]

My vote would be for either Penrith or Lynwood.

[Dangals]

Happy with either penrith or Lynwood - comp preferred but don't mind if its our own comp

[matty]

Was texting Jaydo about this last night. We're calling Penriff and Stonies this morning to see what times can be offered. If one of them works out then all good otherwise we'll try others. Stealth, you might want to ring Lynwood and Riverside Oaks maybe to check availability. Give us more options.

Hopefully we'll have something locked in by COB today.

[liptout]

So is this thing gona end up being like a monthly event or something like that??

Say last Sunday of every month, or something along those lines??

[matty]

Haha. Doubt it. No reason why it couldn't work though. Maybe you can organise a roster containing those who show up. Give them a month each to organise. Would lead to a good selection of courses.

[matty]

Ok. Stonies said I could get four groups in around midday but I'd have to book them in the morning before. They said it won't be a problem but there's always a risk it won't work out.

I'll do it if required but it may be better if someone can lock something concrete in at another course.

[virge666]

I am happy to play Stonecutters . . .

[Dangals]

Stonecutters would be cool - only played there once so far and keen to give it another crack.

[KristianJ]

Ditto for Stonecutters.

As a brief aside, a mate of mine and I have decided to play a semi regular series of matchplay games there over this year. Winner of each game will take home some random piece of rock that we'll call the Stone of Triumph.

[mrbluu]

happy to play stonecutters as well.....

Ahhh. . . . The Simpsons...

Will you keep the Metric System down ?

[mudrat]

Count me in for stone cutters.

[stealth2]

I called Penrith they have booked out 6 groups from midday on the 17th, in the comp $25 for a non members and they will do carts at members rates so $12 each for a cart ? I can easily cancel and we can play Stonecutters of you want but just wanted to book out definite time slot somewhere before they go. Thoughts ?

[stealth2]

Wheres Jaydo. Come make a call on this bud ?

[Dangals]

good thinking - especially if we cannot book sc till the Friday before - guess its just down to the big man to make a call either way.

[matty]

I'd say a bird in the hand......

Safer going with Penriff.

After texting with Jaydo last night I think he'll be happy if you lock it in. He was going to call them today anyway.

[mudrat]

The Riff sounds good too.

[JADO75]

Wheres Jaydo. Come make a call on this bud ?

At your house bud, mrs Stealth said to say hi

[JADO75]

Sorry guys kinda been in & out the last week doing a million things. Penrith it is if everyone is good with that? Not sure what everyone wants to do with groups but I know there are a few of us that haven't played together & are keen to do so (no homo). If any of you have a preference maybe pm me & we can sort groups out. Do we put $10 extra each in for a little comp of our own? Cheers for everyone's patience & help, looking forward to the day.

I don’t have a problem with this provided that the comp is fair to all – as either you or stealth are probably shoe-ins for scratch… what sort of comp did you have in mind?

[rqrox]

I think every one coming has a handicap ( of some sort). I think it should be stableford.

[mrbluu]

Count me in boys. Name out of the hat seems best to me. If we can play in the comp that would be great as well, but happy for the organiser to decide.

1st race in annual 5km time trial series that morning, too far to get from Sutherland to Penrith via Prestons in an hour.

[JADO75]

Can we find two more?

[Ermington_Lad]

Myself and a mate are keen to play. Both have club handicaps.

[stealth2]

Excellent so Penrith it is, 12 hitoff on the 17th. We will play in the normal Sunday comp they have out there an additionally is you all want we can say throw in $10 each for our own winner/runner up stableford comp ?. Am always happy to make a 10 buck donation to make things interesting. If anyone is hesitating coming as they do not know anyone man up and come out. The more the better.

[mrbluu]

Can we do somewhere a bit closer

Stonecutters ?
Pennant Hills ?

Are you in Virge, Penrith GC is only 15mins way from Stonecutters.....

[matty]

Don't be scared of the westie Bogans Virge. All the shootings are in the south-west.

Btw, I might bring a heap of putters, drivers etc for a bit of a boot sale if anyone wants to have a look. If anyone else brings some stuff I'll have a look at any bargains going. Jaydo will probably bring his 44 gallon drum full of shafts.

[matty]

I'll play with whoever.

[KristianJ]

I'm thinking about some sort of order of merit system if the plan is to do this once a month or thereabouts...gives us something to play for and an incentive to try to get to as many of the rounds as possible.

[mrbluu]

I'm thinking about some sort of order of merit system if the plan is to do this once a month or thereabouts...gives us something to play for and an incentive to try to get to as many of the rounds as possible.

I was actually thinking of something like that. Have head to head matches as oppose to a match play knock out....we can maybe hash out the final details on Sunday. Gives everyone a reason to organise games and something to play for!!!

[JADO75]

I like the idea of points or something for how you went on the day as opposed to match play. Maybe after we've played quite a few courses through the year we could have the top 8 or something in a match play final?

[Dangals]

Good idea – this is probably the best way and it will also help motivate people to attend as many events as possible.

[Dotty]

Great minds think alike. ;)
I was also thinking something along these lines for the match play, but one would 'challenge' another OzGolfer. Winner gets 3 points and loser 1 point. (Tie = 2 points each.)
Top 4 point scorers on 1st November, are seeded into the semis. (This gives 2 months to schedule finals around club champs, rep. games, holidays, Xmas functions, etc.)

Probably allow both OzGolf days and any game between OzGolfers, but limit of 3 matches between any two players (which allows for an 'equaliser' match and possible 'decider'). Limit of 3 prevents two close friends or members of the same club racking too many points with their regular games.

[wazandnic]

I like the idea of points or something for how you went on the day as opposed to match play. Maybe after we've played quite a few courses through the year we could have the top 8 or something in a match play final?

Yeah agree this is a good way to do it. Could work it so that say the top 10 get a series of points and anyone else playing also gets at least 1 point... For eg. say there were 16 players:

16th - 11th positions gets 1pt (basically just a point for tunring up and one more point then those that didn't)
10th - 2 pts
9th - 3 pts
8th - 4 pts
7th - 5 pts
6th - 6 pts
5th - 7 pts
4th - 8 pts
3rd - 9 pts
2nd - 10pts
1st - 12 pts (extra point for the win!)

Top 10 means it doesn't matter how many extra players there are above 10.

Should give a good indication of the best player by the end of the year. The players that play the most obviously getting more points.

Just some random thoughts...

[mrbluu]

Ok sounds like we have a lot to go thru, might call for more than one beer before the round to discuss it!!! So what time is everyone getting there??

[Peppas]

What time is tee off? Midday?

[Dangals]

Yeah 12 tee time - I will probably be there from about 11:20 I would guess, maybe a bit earlier.

[Captain Nemo]

This thing organised yet?

[Peppas]

OK what time does the bistro open?

Yep – 5-6 groups blocked off for a 12pm start – currently 12 people have confirmed to be attending so there is plenty of room if you still want to come out.


OK what time does the bistro open?

Unfortunately 12pm Pep so you will have to wait till after it seems…. however there is a KFC on the other side of the M4 from the course… :)

I'll be there just before 12:00 at this stage so probably no time for pre round beverages etc.

Blurry and Kristian, I'll bring those putters. Both come with their headcovers. I love both of these putters but have seemed to settle with the 2-ball. Trying to move some on to a new home instead of having them sit in a corner.

[matty]

I'll get there about an hour early so you can try the stuff out and use it if you like.

I thought that was pretty standard for a 1st tee thread where you get more than 4 somewhat committed starters. :mrgreen:

It would be. Probably last time i used it.

Swapped my SCotty Cameron SC Red X with my uncle for his 2 ball. It was agreed the swap become permanent ownership.

[JADO75]

You coming L?

No, Sydney is too far to drive from

[Captain Nemo]

Too far for me.

Whaaaat I'm driving from the 'Gong...

[Peppas]

I still got this hybrid if anyone wants it:
Adams Idea Pro 2/R hybrid, reg flex proto shaft

[Eldrick]

I'd be keen on the itsy if it doesn't suit KJ. Consider it dibs

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I am out for Sunday, as the misses has booked a hotel room in the city for Saturday night...

Hope to catch up at the next get together.

[Peppas]

I dunno if I missed this - are we playing in the comp and are we walking or carting?

[JADO75]

Playing in comp, I booked 4 carts ( I'm in one, yes I am lazy) let me know who wants one & I can try to book some more

[KristianJ]

Playing in comp, I booked 4 carts ( I'm in one, yes I am lazy) let me know who wants oneI'll go halves in one...my left big toe is in pretty ordinary shape after a cricket injury last weekend and I'm not sure that walking 18 will help it all that much.

[Peppas]

Playing in comp, I booked 4 carts ( I'm in one, yes I am lazy) let me know who wants one

4 carts for 12 people? ;)

I don't mind the walk, it wasn't too hilly from what I remember...

[matty]

I'll walk it.

[blurry]

i will walk

[Dangals]

I'll walk it

[JADO75]

We've got 4 guaranteed when we tee off, possibly a few more but they're are a few big groups playing in the morning & they can't promise there'll be more than four when we hit off but can definitely get some more during or at halfway.

[mrbluu]

I'm happy to cart or walk....how many players do we have at the moment?

[KristianJ]

Sorted.

[Peppas]

Pep, all depends on the prac green shoot out.

Cheatstick vs?

[KristianJ]

Cheatstick vs?

Redwood Anser v Itsy Bitsy. I'll probably be getting the Anser regripped early morning...Virge put a Bettinardi grip on it during his ownership and it's just a little too soft for my liking (n/h).

[JADO75]

Tosseritis?

[Peppas]

Tosseritis?

Yeah from tossing my putter around the course after 25 putts over the first 9 holes today!

[KristianJ]

Toe's feeling alright today, so I'll walk tomorrow.

[mrbluu]

I have a mate that will join us

[JADO75]

Myself, stealth2, Dangals & Rqrox are going to play in a group tomoz, hope no one minds. The four of us have been trying to organise a game for awhile now, so it works out well for us.
Happy days with your mate mrbluu

[mrbluu]

We need one more boys....

[Peppas]

Nah, thats 12 with your mate MrBluu... there's Ermington Lad + his mate, 2 people.

Happy to go in the last group seeing as I'm walking too... get the carts off first?

[JADO75]

I'm going to bash some balls at Llandilo driving range before we play tomoz about 9;30, 10am if anyone is keen?

[Dangals]

Trying to pick which driver combo to use?

[JADO75]

To be honest, yes! Smartarse!

[live4golf]

To be honest, yes! Smartarse!

hahahahaaaaa

[Dangals]

To be honest, yes! Smartarse!

That’s why once I get my xtreme and decide which shaft works best I am going to offload the rest so I don’t have that dilemma… not sure I would use Llandilo driving range though as the balls there are crap!

[JADO75]

Panthers is closed, their balls were crappier than llandilo's & there's nowhere else to buddy

[KristianJ]

Panthers is closed, their balls were crappier than llandilo's & there's nowhere else to buddy

Upside was they had good mats.

I'll head up there around 9:30...see what these 588 wedges I bought last week are like and how the Motore goes in the Nickent head.

[Dangals]

Yeah I know - just that last time i went there it didn't spit out enough balls and they didn't care and half of them were cracked....

I would go to marsden park but can't be bothered... I am just going to go the old eney miney moe when I pack the car tomorrow.

[Peppas]

So hows the weather looking?

[mrbluu]

The weather looks good. Bring lots of sunscreen.

[Peppas]

Sweet... its pouring in Wollongong atm!

[mrbluu]

That's not good and don't bring it with you either.....

[Peppas]

That's not good and don't bring it with you either.....

I'll do my best ;)

[matty]

Great day had by all at Penrith Golf Club. Some interesting golf and a lot of laughs. I felt like not going I have been chopping it so bad but managed to scrap a score together and take the cash. Mr Blu looked like a shoe in for the cash after the first 9 but played like he had a bit of sand in his vajajay on the back, then Mark came through but couldn't capatalise on the par 5's. Cruel game.

Scores-: 1st $60, 2nd $40, 3rd $20

Matty 34 (Won on cb)
Mark (Mr Blu's mate) 34
KristianJ 33 (took 3rd on cb)
Ermington Lad 33
Peppas 32
Jade 32
Ermington Lad's mate 31
Stealth2 30
Blurry 30
Mr Blu 29
Dangals 29
Rqrox 23

[liptout]

Looks more like the course won the day to me!! ;)

Shame I couldn't get there today, looking forward to the next one though..........

[Dangals]

Fantastic time had today - thanks to everyone who made the effort to travel out west.

You picked it bluu by saying I peaked a day early... Couldn't scrape two consecutive decent shots together it seems.

Looking forward to the next one!

[rqrox]

Do I get my money back for last place......Thanks for the comprehensive break up of the scores Matty!

[KristianJ]

Ermington Lad can consider himself very unlucky in a way...his 2nd on 18 was millimetres away from a slam dunk eagle.

And 4 putting the 1st and 4th cost me big time. I can only wonder what would have happened if I'd put the Redwood in the car and put the cheat stick into play.

Was a great arvo nevertheless and a fun chat and few bevvies afterwards.

[blurry]

40 points yesterday , 30 points today same course . Bit still an excellent day . Look forward to the next golf day,
Cheers boys

[matty]

:lol:

Jaydo and Dangals insisted.

Imagine if you had of got the spider off me.

[KristianJ]

Imagine if you had of got the spider off me.

I'll stop the what if's there. :lol:

BTW I'll come grab the Spider some time during the week...probably Tue or Wed late arvo. The thought slipped my mind as you left.

[JADO75]

Cheers for a great day boys, was a pleasure to meet you all. Appreciate you blokes coming out my way to the Riff & I'm looking forward to the March game at Stonecutter's. Well done to the winners & to Dangals, thank you for showing me how not to play the 11th. Thanks again boys!

[Dangals]

Hey I will still take some positives - like the fact my new irons are awesome and I am hitting the better/further than my old mizzies....

Definately looking to redeem myself at stonecutters in march though as I know I can play better than my score suggests...

.....and if you're ever looking to offload that putter of yours you know where to go. ;)

[Dangals]

.....and if you're ever looking to offload that putter of yours you know where to go. ;)

I do but very unlikely…

still I will not say never as we all know that no bag is ever truly “locked”

[JADO75]

Beautiful putter but you're on donut duty at Stoney's Big D!

[Dangals]

Beautiful putter but you're on donut duty at Stoney's Big D!

Yeah, yeah I know. No need to rub it in. :roll:

[Peppas]

Cheers for the game today guys. Thanks for hosting and organising Jado. Congrats to the winners and it was nice to meet a few more Ozgolfers!

[JADO75]

Appreciate you travelling Pep, massive effort mate.

[Peppas]

yeah well done Pep ,you must have just got home, lol:wink:

Nah got home 2 hours ago, traffic was pretty good ;)

I didn't travel that far, imagine if you guys had to travel into the city for work, be a longer trip and you don't even get to leave Sydney ;)

[JADO75]

Traffic was terrible for me too, took me 6 minutes instead of 4 to get home

[stealth2]

Yes guys, good to meet you all yesterday.. Look forward to the next outing. Well done Matty on winning the cash (that was a good bunker shot on 14) :-)

[Ermington_Lad]

Thanks for the game Jado. It was good to put faces to forum names. Also looking forward to StoneCutters.

[rqrox]

Yes guys, good to meet you all yesterday.. Look forward to the next outing. Well done Matty on winning the cash (that was a good bunker shot on 14) :-)

Reminds me of another shot by someone Stealth :lol:

[mrbluu]

Thanks for organising the day Jado, it was great meeting everyone and we had a great time.

I haven't played Penrith for about 15years and found it to be a very challenging track.

Looking forward to the next day out!!!
