OK, I lied, one more thread about the champs! :mrgreen:

Put em in here boys and girls. What will happen? What do you want to happen?

Please note this is not about the Friday match, we have a thread for that sledging already.

My predictions:

DC to fall at the last hurdle to AndyP and miss out on yet another champs title.
NAGA to be not from VIC.

My goals:
150 points for 5 days golf.
Max of 2 double bogies or worse.
Don't snap any wedges.

7th February 2013, 10:15 AM
Give Lefty enough crap that he'll snap a wedge.
Avg 35 points.
Win Fashion in the Fields.

Ok ... only 2 of those are serious ...

WBennett
7th February 2013, 10:24 AM
I'd love to average 30 points a round but that is unlikely. We could see some horror scores on Saturday and Sunday if its windy...

I'd like to sink piss, not puke like DC, meet some great blokes (and the Queenslanders if I have to) and have a 4 day blast that has me keen to do it again and again.

Except for Southern, I've played em. They're 'playable'. I'm playing pretty good at the moment ... and you'll need that to win.

I will be happy if I wake up Tuesday morning, without any stupid tattoos, STD's or black eyes.

Bloody good question actually. I'll have to confirm with the clubs. We're not playing the back marker challenge on Saturday, so it'll be the blues. Southern we can play from the tips. Moonah, I'll confirm. Spring Valley I'll have to check to see whether it's a comp, otherwise we'll just play from the tips there too.

30 points is a good target, especially if it's windy. You probably won't quite win anything, but you won't be that far away.

I like your second goals!

The wind on the peninsula will play a huge part in the scores. Accuweather says there will not be too much, but I'm sure that'll change when we get closer to the day. I can see a score under 70 winning this.

I'm assuming with the way you've written that, that is one of your goals?

WBennett
7th February 2013, 10:36 AM
It doesn't take much waywardness to wipe holes down that way if the wind is up. Yes, the fairways can be wide, but a 50k wind can make them very narrow. The 69er bunt would be a good technique.

I've played Spring Valley but never when the greens were uncored, so I am looking forward to getting there again.

My goals, beat popper at the putting comp that he mistakingly challenged me to on Friday.
Give popper a stupid tattoo
Hire an "escort" to give him an STD
And get Benno to give him a black eye...

Given Popper's current ailments, prediction that he'll smash me in our match on Friday.

I like predicting stuff like that because I usually get it wrong.

Goals? To not be too hung over every day, and maybe 155 points over the 5 rounds. Setting my sights high I is...

Hahahah... I just given the 'neighbour' a truck load of cash to bet on you. Hedging my bets. I win, I drink for free... I lose.... Well I still drink for free.

I hate doing goals and the such for things like this. As Courty has shown, they become a bit of a burden. Everyone has gotten on the CLUB 150 train. 150 points seems like it is achieveable, if you hit the ball ok, and the weather holds out. Otherwise... well it could be anything. Good luck with the mission.

Popper's goals for the Vic Champs
# One birdie everyday. Happy with more.
# Break my handicap one round, somewhere. Do that I will be stoked.
# Not be the NAGA

Seriously though..... I don't know if you all quite realise how excited I am to be playing some top course. I have a very limited golf history. Sure there is some good tracks up here..But not the class of down there. It is going to be fun. Not to mention some of the suprises that are instore for everyone. Will really add to the event.

The doctor just told me no golf for 2 weeks, hahahaha... Funny **** he is ( i think he is serious). See how is all works out. I will come down no matter what. I will hit some balls/play saturday and see how I pull up. That will give me a better indication of how I am going to go.

WBennett
7th February 2013, 02:49 PM
Pop

Worst comes to worst, use a cart.

I am just looking forward to playing great tracks at a time where they should be runing hard, fast and true. And actually getting to meet blokes like Bruce, AP, Courty, Marto etc who I've taken the piss out of/argued with for years.

Monsta and I want to prove that not all Canberran's are dicks (Shaun has made this difficult). Although Andigold will never have his mind changed as I will forever be a tree hugging hippy lefty. And he will always be an umpire. But for Friday, we will get along and kick some ass.

That was always going to happen, what a tool. 22 stroke penalty for grounding his club 11 times.

I'd have no probs with that shot.

Looked and sounded to me a lot like Iain and Popper actually.

Wed- shazza gets her 6 week clearance to drive :)

Thursday- making it to the course without leaving Paige or my clubs behind. Try and remove a month of cob webs assuming I had game before that.... Maybe break in a new driver and pair of shoes
Friday-shooting 100 and still win 1up
Sat- enjoy a good course bonus if I break 30 pts.
Sun-30 pts would be great.... I hope it blows hard
Monday- not have to buy balls in the pro shop finish on a high of 35pts

WBennett
7th February 2013, 05:42 PM
I'd suggest anyone playing ping pong at 3am may be disadvantaged the next day...

Saturday night - are we going to have a BBQ at the accommodation/do we need to bring a 30 can block of happiness?

Who will be playing ping pong this late.???

And as for after hours Saturday, the hostess (and your elected team captain, ozgolf's own volcano) LEFTYHOGES has this set out :

Sat night: BBQ at St Andrews Beach Golf Club. Drinks must be purchased from the club but we can bring whatever else we like. FG can get hold of some meat (stop sniggering you lot!) and salads. Need to know final numbers a week or so before. Probably around $10 a head to cover costs.

I highlighted the important bit for you. Afterwards though, who knows... Some frothies could be the go.

There is a chance I could lose to Courty in four vital areas on this weekend.
Head-to-head
Captaincy (very slim chance here but you have to account for miracles)
5 day score
Fashion

At least I can drink more than he can! That counts right?!

That time is good though as you'll be well asleep. Kev didn't hear me come into the room after 3AM on Friday or Saturday of the QLD champs (he even slept with the light on for me, what a champ!) and I'm pretty sure I didn't wake the guys in WA getting in after 2 both nights either.

It's when you're just getting to sleep at midnightish that is when someone is still likely to wake you.

My 30 points per round goal is starting to look achievable. Hit the ball ok yesterday and think the corner is just about turned.

Monsta had better hope the wind doesn't get up, as his game doesn't suit 40kmh cross winds/headwinds.

I predict I will beat Iain 1 up with a great up and down on 18, and end up with 120 points after 4 days.

Ummm, I really wish i was joking.... It is looking more and more unlikely. The calf is ok after a pretty quiet weekend. My rib/cartlidge/side strain/phantom pain is causing me a fair bit of grief.

I hit balls Saturday and hit it pretty good. Was a little tender afterwards. No biggie, was expected. Pulled a little bit stiff yesterday, but a the day contniued on I decided to hit a couple of pills yesterday arvo from my back yard. Lasted 10 balls, before I had to call it quits. Was literally in agony for the rest of night. I can't move today. And I am off my face trying to 'manage' the pain.

I figure I will still come down, and bring me clubs. I might get a couple of games in around the place. If I don't do anything between now and Friday, I should at least make it through Friday.

I am actually pretty bummed about the entire situation.... Been a shitty a couple of weeks, and I have been looking forward to this for ages.

If you want the good stuff, then get Monsta and Benno to drop into Zigwah on their drive through Shepparton.

He has enough to knock Black Caviar and Ben Cousins out.

Nurofen extra / panadeine extra/ anti inflammatory tab /gel and RICE working for me.

popper81
11th February 2013, 11:19 AM
I am taking mobic and endone. The endone tree is almost empty. Next up maybe tremadol, although i think it makes me sick.

Mobic is purely an anti-inflammatory. ( i think) it is helping with the calf. The rib thing, not so much.

Endone is good gear & a little indication in exactly how much discomfort I am in. I ended having 2 last night with very minimal results on the pain.

Holy crap popper! I think I'd rather sit it out than go crazy on the meds.

Endone did some seriously bad things to my wife's head a few years ago - I wouldn't touch the stuff.

Monsta

I am with LarryLong on this Popper,

Endone is not good for you with prolonged or over use. I was on it when I hurt my back and it does funny things to your mind (mixing it with oxy (hillbilly heroin) didnt help either)

WBennett

You have 4 days. Take it as easy as possible. RICE when you can.
Lay off the painkillers.

If you take voltaren, DO NOT DRINK. Stomach ulcers are bad, mmmkay.

Thursday -as expected
Friday-big match play win and a half in the 4ball... Surprise fireball pick (courty must of had a feeling) 2.5 Pts of the teams 5.5 :)
Sat- scrappy 35 Pts with more signs of improvement... I told shazza I could maybe go a couple better
Sun-solid with luck 42 Pts, played well under game book preasure.
Monday... Crashing to earth maybe

Takes to shazza and Paige last night was the only bad night of the trip. Thanks to flower girl for the bed

Yay!!!!! no tattoo, no black eye..... waiting on the doctors results for the other, damn the spa's upstairs.



Given Popper's current ailments, prediction that he'll smash me in our match on Friday.

I like predicting stuff like that because I usually get it wrong.
...

Not this time bloke, 100% correct :lol:


Hahahah... I just given the 'neighbour' a truck load of cash to bet on you. Hedging my bets. I win, I drink for free... I lose.... Well I still drink for free.

I hate doing goals and the such for things like this. As Courty has shown, they become a bit of a burden. Everyone has gotten on the CLUB 150 train. 150 points seems like it is achieveable, if you hit the ball ok, and the weather holds out. Otherwise... well it could be anything. Good luck with the mission.

Popper's goals for the Vic Champs
# One birdie everyday. Happy with more.
# Break my handicap one round, somewhere. Do that I will be stoked.
# Not be the NAGA

Seriously though..... I don't know if you all quite realise how excited I am to be playing some top course. I have a very limited golf history. Sure there is some good tracks up here..But not the class of down there. It is going to be fun. Not to mention some of the suprises that are instore for everyone. Will really add to the event.

The doctor just told me no golf for 2 weeks, hahahaha... Funny **** he is ( i think he is serious). See how is all works out. I will come down no matter what. I will hit some balls/play saturday and see how I pull up. That will give me a better indication of how I am going to go.

No birdie at St Andrews Beach.... DAMN!!!!
Wasn't the NAGA..... YAY!
Had one good round..... YAY!

Rounds were the following

Kingswood: 28pts
Southern: 32pts
St Andrews Beach: 26pts ( finished 1,1, wipe wipe, after being 5 points after 5 holes)
Moonah Legends: 39pts
Spring Valley: 26pts

Not unhappy with how I played considering the leadd up. The rib was fine by Saturday, troubled me a little sleeping and the calf held up. Tongue is mighty sore today..... no idea why ;)

AndyP
19th February 2013, 10:52 PM
I predict that I may have to drink the same make of beer more than once.Two Crowns at Spring Valley and two Red Duck Ambers at the hotel were the double ups, but I had 13 different beers over the weekend. Thanks for the help, andigold.

As for the run, 18:40 was no chance after a long Friday and limited sleep. 19:32 is more than respectable while running under the influence.

Courty
20th February 2013, 05:36 AM
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, Favourite!For me, I'll be rolling out the ol' faithful 30pt per round average again (150pts for the trip). Anything less & I'll be living up to past form. :roll:

And true to form, I fell short again. I could have easily made it if I could have worked out the greens a bit better this time round. :roll:

My predictions:

DC to fall at the last hurdle to AndyP and miss out on yet another champs title. Wrong. AndyP fell at about the 4th last hurdle so DC beat him.
NAGA to be not from VIC. Joint QLD and VIC. Close enough.

My goals:
150 points for 5 days golf. Killed it! 168 points. Thank Christ I played well Monday!
Max of 2 double bogies or worse. Spectacular fail. Had one on Thursday, and another on the first hole Saturday. Many more followed.
Don't snap any wedges. Spectacular success! Don't recall any situation that could have broken a wedge (and before you say anything Sunday group, you can't snap a wedge hitting those soft as shit bunkers)

So close... :-(

WBennett
20th February 2013, 05:47 PM
It's called the Champs. Friday wasnt even a comp round,


I submitted a card after Fridays round.

Weekend notes: I averaged more than 30 points a round easily, and had two played to 10's. And still went out .1 for the weekend.
I did not find a bunker on Friday. I think I just about found them all on Saturday...
I did not lose my matchplay, and am stoked to get a half after being 5 down after 7. Friday was as much fun as golf gets.
It took 63 holes and the Index 1 hole at Spring Valley to make a birdie for the weekend. I then birdied the 12th and should have birdied the 13th...

I took 2 dozen balls and lost about 8 for the four days. I found about 12 in the rough with Bruce's Dad on Saturday...

He played one back-handed out of the hazard on Friday, and, unfortunately for us, didn't fall in. However, he did have the drunk bit covered later that day. ;)
