Overview: 10th Anniversary OZgolf Champs extended weekend; 15-18 November 2013

[KristianJ]

Andy's not that unbearable...he was very supportive and sympathetic when I went wipe, wipe, 1, wipe (or similar) to start my 2011 Champs tilt.

I just hope that whoever I share a cart with at The Glades will have a similar attitude.

[Captain Nemo]

Im all paid up for fri-sun, and $$ to Andy for prizes.
50/50 for monday.

[Waddzy]

Andy's not that unbearable...he was very supportive and sympathetic when I went wipe, wipe, 1, wipe (or similar) to start my 2011 Champs tilt.

I just hope that whoever I share a cart with at The Glades will have a similar attitude. Sounds like the way I generally start, could be great cart golf.

[popper81]

Draw is Random Andy. So Nope! Unless I decide to do funny groupings again.

That's it. I am out. :lol:

He is alright...I do like him better with a beard. From memory he helped Iain deal with the devastation of losing to SPUD in Victoria. Maybe he is in the wrong field at present?

[LeftyHoges]

Any Victorians attending this?

[mrbluu]

Ok looks like I'm in, waiting for tomorrow friday sale to book my tickets. What times are the Sydney boys flying into Gold Coast, maybe we can share a cab or what are you guys doing for transfers to and from the airport??

[shavey]

Hey Shavey, I'm in for Friday, Saturday and Sunday :) how much money do I need to send you for golf to lock my spot

Check this OP and the individual threads mate for all the details.

Titty, don't forget the wine as Lucas's blazer is still thirsty!

I thought it might be a union/confederate thing or you might have been after some hints for dealing with the heat

[popper81]

Lefty deals with the heat by sleeping on TILES.

[Waddzy]

I thought it might be a union/confederate thing or you might have been after some hints for dealing with the heat He needs to ensure all Vics are in uniform!

I'm heading up to Brissy on the Thursday...depending on where I decide to stay Thur night and what type of car I hire (hiring for Thur and Fri, return on Sat morning before the Glades round) I could potentially drive down to Cooly airport and pick 1 or 2 people up.

[IamViva]

thinking about attending. when would i need to pay a deposit or full amount by? would only be saturday, sunday and sat accommodation

[Courty]

I've just paid for all the rounds. I'll be arriving on Thursday arve, leaving after Mondays round. 8)

I definitely be putting my hand up for that mate and I can either chip in for some petrol or shout u some beers.Thanks

[Grunt]

I definitely be putting my hand up for that mate and I can either chip in for some petrol or shout u some beers.Thanks
I like that idea, I will be in Cooly at 7:35am Friday

[Dcanto]

Anyone flying in on Friday, specifically Friday afternoon?

[KristianJ]

I definitely be putting my hand up for that mate and I can either chip in for some petrol or shout u some beers.Thanks


I like that idea, I will be in Cooly at 7:35am Friday

I'll confirm what I'm doing once I work out what car to hire and where from - might end up hiring for the whole trip if the prices are decent enough.

[popper81]

My offer still stands to help with transport from airports etc. I will be based @ home, so either airport is somewhat doable. (Friday arrivals would prefer Cooly pick ups)

[Dcanto]

[popper81]

Thursday arve? ;)

Yeah, no worries...

[LeftyHoges]

Yeah, no worries...

Thursday night?

[backintheswing]

I am flying into Brisbane late Thursday afternoon and leaving from Brisbane Tuesday morning.

I am getting a hire car if anyone needs a lift from Brisbane airport.

[popper81]

Thursday night?

Of course.

[Ferrins]

I can take a pillion passenger on my Vespa.

[Cosmopolite]

I am planning to fly in on Thursday sometime

[Waddzy]

I can also throw my hand up to do some pick ups from cooly ..

[mrbluu]

[AndyP]

Dunno. I'm just the collector.

[Courty]

20 Mike

This one snuck through to the keeper.

Welcome aboard Mike, you'll have a blast.

[Captain Nemo]

Is it compulsory?

Why wouldnt it be?

[PeteyD]

The prize fund is compulsory as far as I am aware. It was implemented to remove the original requirement of prize donations needing to be collected etc.

[mike]

Fair enough. I'll pay.

To conform.

Playing for prizes doesn't interest me. I'm there for the event.

And the glory.

[PeteyD]

Agreed. But some people actually go into the event thinking they can beat the fave or ferret.

[shavey]

Playing for prizes doesn't interest me. I'm there for the event.

And the glory.

We'll kill any thoughts of glory over a bottle the first night Mike.

[KristianJ]

Compulsory fund contribution paid.

[solarman]

As I will not be attendance, I presume that the mantle of NAGA will be past on this year to someone else more worthy.

[KristianJ]

As I will not be attendance, I presume that the mantle of NAGA will be past on this year to someone else more worthy.

Bob, we are Wayne and Garth and you are Alice Cooper.

[LeftyHoges]

Quick question: What's the dress policy like at The Glades? Do they know we will be having 'Ugly Pants Day' there and won't get kicked off the course for horrible clothing?

[Captain Nemo]

BenT is a member there, he would know?
I doubt they will kick us off....

[KristianJ]

If we changed the signage to The Ghey-des we may have issues...

[sms316]

Quick question: What's the dress policy like at The Glades? Do they know we will be having 'Ugly Pants Day' there and won't get kicked off the course for horrible clothing?
Pretty similar to Pelican Waters I think. Nothing too strict but within reason.

[Courty]

As I will not be attendance, I presume that the mantle of NAGA will be past on this year to someone else more worthy. Wishful thinking, Bob.

[Waddzy]

Was anyone still interested in a Thursday hit somewhere ?

[mrbluu]

Was anyone still interested in a Thursday hit somewhere ?

I think KJ is up there on Thursday.

[LeftyHoges]

EDIT: Never mind.

[shavey]

Was anyone still interested in a Thursday hit somewhere ?

I've also taken that off so could be a chance.

[Waddzy]

I've also taken that off so could be a chance.

Im going to extend mine to start Thurs and end on Tuesday now so I will be keen on a hit anywhere.. Emmy lakes could be a good one..

[golfbound]

i can probably help with Emerald Lakes or The Glades as im a member at these clubs.I may be able to play thursday. The glades should be ok with Colourful golf attire within reason.

[KristianJ]

I think KJ is up there on Thursday. Correct, although I haven't though much about it yet.

[Waddzy]

i can probably help with Emerald Lakes or The Glades as im a member at these clubs.I may be able to play thursday. The glades should be ok with Colourful golf attire within reason.

Would probably prefer to play Emmy Lakes as were playing the glades over the weekend... closer to the time we can chuck a thread up in the 1st tee and see how we go.

I don't know if we should be excited or scared ...

Carrara Gardens Day and night pitch and putt? :razz:

[shavey]

Boomerang Farm (http://www.boomerangfarm.com.au/) ???

Oh boys, the only way is down after those two entries.

[markTHEblake]

Tallai then?

[shavey]

Tallai then?

Only if somebody has Royal reciprocal, tough track to get on.

[goughy]

Thanks to harbour town it looks like I will have one outfit for golf that is less than 6 years old! Don't know if my reversible black/brown belt will cut it though. It's pretty worn out!

[3Puttpete]

A whole outfit? It sounds like you went on a shopping spree

[goughy]

A shirt and shorts are classified as an outfit, aren't they?

[3Puttpete]

Too right

[Waddzy]

A shirt and shorts are classified as an outfit, aren't they?
I have a good feeling Lefty would disagree with this comment...

[goughy]

If he starts talking coordinated jocks I'm outa here!

[Daves]

I could lend you a belt, but you would have to wrap it around you twice!:wink:

[shavey]

Who else apart from Virge is making an appearance but yet to pay?

[Hux]

Me and Nudgee......
If I wasn't slack and heading to bed I would walk down and get my wallet and do the EFT's.
Me Sat and Sun and staying with Gay Jay Chorizo at Crowne. Gay Jay is playing the Friday as well but heading home I believe.

[Haystacks]

Who else apart from Virge is making an appearance but yet to pay?

Probably me...

[Lobsta]

Who else apart from Virge is making an appearance but yet to pay?

Yeah, I gotta get around to it soon.

[LeftyHoges]

Me.

What and who do I have to pay?

[KristianJ]

Car hire experts...

Who should I deal with? Hertz has a 15% offer for Panthers supporters like me, and it appears I can get a Commodore SV6 or similar for about $250 from Thur through to Monday, or a Camry or similar for just under $220.

Does that sound reasonable or are there better deals out there?

[popper81]

Who else apart from Virge is making an appearance but yet to pay?

Me :(

Will get it sorted next week

[KristianJ]

Scrap Hertz...I just checked Thrifty and they do XR6s/Liberty/i45s or similar for just over $210 for the same time period.

[LeftyHoges]

Scrap Hertz...I just checked Thrifty and they do XR6s/Liberty/i45s or similar for just over $210 for the same time period.

That seems pretty decent value...

[shazza_rs]

Who else apart from Virge is making an appearance but yet to pay?

Us!

Just sorting out what days we are actually playing.

[ddasey]

Who else apart from Virge is making an appearance but yet to pay? Highly likely for the weekend.Currently up in Innisfail, just waiting for my leave to be approved Will confirm next week when back in brissie.

[damoocow]

Highly likely for the weekend.Currently up in Innisfail, just waiting for my leave to be approved Will confirm next week when back in brissie.

Let me know if you need a roomie for Sat night Dave...

[markTHEblake]

I just realised something, how is everyone going to be able to calculate their handicap adjustment from the slope system on Sunday morning?

[Grunt]

Wont it be like the US and there will be charts to see what your handicap converts too.

[AndyP]

When will the slope system be introduced? They have only released the ratings so far, haven't they?

[Grunt]

Yeah wont be until the new year.

[goughy]

What about me (like what hc you give me would matter)

[markTHEblake]

Wont it be like the US and there will be charts to see what your handicap converts too. Have you ever seen one? The writing is pretty tiny. Some of you blokes can barely find the first tee let alone an A4 piece of paper on the noticeboard.

[dc68]

Shavemeister can you do a spread sheet on who has paid what I know I've paid 2 but don't want to pay twice for one.

[Lucasto23]

Shavey will sort out at the end of this week.

[shavey]

Shavemeister can you do a spread sheet on who has paid what I know I've paid 2 but don't want to pay twice for one.

Thought you were right mate with what I text you. I'll get the updated payment list from the clubs this week and update in each thread.

[goughy]

Shit I had a heart attack the other day. Our tri clubs race calendar came out and I thought the second race of the season was champs weekend. Jasmine wants to try out for the darling downs team for the qld schools champs and 2nd race is the qualifying race. But it's the weekend after. Phew.

Hope to have my 3 cards in before the champs so no more 'gifting' me a hc, even if I couldn't play to it anyway!

[Lucasto23]

All paid up :) champs 2013 here I come

[popper81]

I am now all officially PAID UP. This could be the best champs ever... why you ask? Let me tell you:

1. I plan to be playing off my anchor. This is 8... I few extra shots never went astray.
2. I will have a belly putter. This should provide countless amusement for all the punters that get to play with, or witness, me putt.
3. I am in the middle of a 12 week challenge... So no booze, no hangovers... It is all about the golf.
4. I will get to watch Courty unfold at the hands of Lefty once again.
5. As I won't be drinking, there will be more words available for the others in the group to use ( SPUD & the Vic champs crew will understand).
6. I have already found a horrendous pair of pants.
7. After tomorrow, I am all but finished my uni degree. This means I will be able to devote countless hours to practice to ensure that I am not NAGA.


WE ARE 5 WEEKS OUT............ LET THE SLEDGING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No booze? Soft as

Funny... and true. 8/10. You can do better.


No booze? Soft as

I am taking this very seriously.... This weekend could be my crowning glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






I also have a 3 hour endurance challenge starting at 6am on the Sunday morning at an undisclosed beach on the gold coast.. I will be ****ed and I am no chance.

[Dotty]

Looking good Popper ...

[popper81]

Thanks, dotty. They are way to masculine for me... I am looking for something much more flamboyant.

Does Mrs Popper realise that sand gets everywhere?

[Ferrins]

Anchor all you like Poops but this year will be the first back to back;)

[popper81]

Does Mrs Popper realise that sand gets everywhere?

Yeah, well aware.... to be honest I am not looking forward to it. Might have to a have a quick dip in the pool at Shavey's palace.


Anchor all you like Poops but this year will be the first back to back;)

Sure flusher... This will be tennis all over again. There is people saying you won't even play Sunday... the shame

[Waddzy]

Wish this was on this month! My goal is to have a minimum of 20 points per day and im not that confident! Are we going to run a fine system and donate somewhere? Im sure I would be donating $10+ a day.

[popper81]

20 points a day? Courty will be your bunny as well.

[Waddzy]

20 points a day? Courty will be your bunny as well.
Am I having too high of hopes here pops? Could start more like 20,16,12,8 and struggle a 4 pointer Monday? Being my first crack at this prestigious event I am not quite sure what im in for.

[Daves]

Historically, 20 points a day won't get you into the 1st group out Sunday. Probably won't even get you into the 2nd group out!

[KristianJ]

Am I having too high of hopes here pops? Could start more like 20,16,12,8 and struggle a 4 pointer Monday? Being my first crack at this prestigious event I am not quite sure what im in for.Wascally Wabbit usually sets himself a 30 point average over however many rounds he plays at Champs. From memory he hasn't achieved that, but he has comfortably exceeded a 20 point average...at least once.

[Waddzy]

The way im hitting the ball ( depending on which clubs I use) + the quality of these courses + the fact ive dropped 20 shots this year to a handicap I cant play to = a very low points tally! 20 is being realistic.

[popper81]

Am I having too high of hopes here pops? Could start more like 20,16,12,8 and struggle a 4 pointer Monday? Being my first crack at this prestigious event I am not quite sure what im in for.

My first one I started with 17 points from memory... Went to pub, got **** faced. First group out the next morning and had 37 or 38 points still pissed. In saying that I have a history of being terrible Saturday and a bit of a Sunday hero.

[Courty]

Yeah, I think I've missed the 30pt average over 4+ rounds by only 1pt on at least a couple of occasions. :oops:

I've often been next to last groups on Sunday, but that's when gifted an 18hc. I'll probably be closer to 13 so..... yeah probably right!

[Lobsta]

Even with my handicap of around infinity, I'll likely be in the first group Sunday.

[Lobsta]

P.s. I plan on paying real soon.

[Waddzy]

My cap is dropping faster than I can count at the moment so Ill likely drop 2 more between now and champs and then will be struggling to shoot 20 points.. First group it is!


#Homecoursehero

[Grunt]

I am odds on for first group Sunday.

[popper81]

Shavey, can you ring Palm Meadows and see the chances of the first group going out as a 12? Seems everyone around here is as BAD as the next person.

No seriously, which rounds am I covering with your transfer?

[Courty]

Who paid me a lump some of $300+ a few days ago? Trying to work out what the hell it's for.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Solarman... he's not very good at following instructions.

[Dotty]

Who paid me a lump some of $300+ a few days ago? Trying to work out what the hell it's for.
That sounds like Virge.

I asked him last Thursday about his name missing off the champs lists. He said 'I'm rooming with Shavey and he'll fix everything up for me.'.

There are quite a few champs regulars not on the list - unless they are making a late entrance?

[shavey]

I won't say that I am definitely out, but highly unlikely.

If it's a matter of not being able to supply yet another bottle of vodka (Queenslander!) I can let you off just one year :o

[sms316]

[ddasey]

Work finally sorted.

In Sat / Sun.

[Marto65]

26943 This is the whimpy pizza mountain that is in the news for US Congress overnight.

[Eag's]

Eags? Jarro? SMS? Are you guys in?

Nope, no Champs for me.

[popper81]

How many are yet to pay...?

Trying to finalise a few knick knacks for the champs. The time to cough up is now upon us.

You agree, Shavey?

[dc68]

I've paid 2 of the 4 rounds will have it done by next Friday.

[ddasey]

Paid Sat / Sun

Still working on the rest.

[Ferrins]

nudgee??

[shavey]

How many are yet to pay...?

The list only includes those who have paid mate so I'd imagine there will be another handful to filter in. Numbers at all the courses have been reduced to what we will pick-up so every chance late comers will miss out if the courses have resold the space.

[Lobsta]

When are you doing another list update? Just want to check mine went through.

[shavey]

Quietly confident we'll do 36 players for this, hopefully a few more late stragglers!

C'mon people, may be the last time we can get really good rates like this.

AndyP
BrisVegas
damoocow
Iain


I don't have the rest of the attendance records and results with me, so I'll pull those out in the next couple of days. Pete and Shaz have been at every one except the first, and Choppa has missed only one also.

[PeteyD]

Wow the list got short quickly. I have missed 3 I think.

[Waddzy]

Am I the only debutant for the QLD one this year? I noticed WA had a heap of newbies..

[PeteyD]

Don't think so Waddzy

[Dcanto]

This will be my first champs.

(Cue the virgin jokes)

[AndyP]

No.

3puttpete, dcanto, mike and mrbluu are all noobs.

[backintheswing]

My first one as well.

[AndyP]

You'll all get to experience a dc68 drunken nipple cripple for the first time.

[PeteyD]

Experiences you will never forget. Bring lots of $5 notes too ;)

[Dcanto]

Experiences you will never forget. Bring lots of $5 notes too ;) What about coins? :)

[shavey]

Relevant game threads are updated as of a few days ago. I'm not updating this as there is one or two who may not be playing all weekend rounds.

[3Puttpete]

No.

3puttpete, dcanto, mike and mrbluu are all noobs.

No sponsor's exemption for me. I earned my Champs card through the Masters :)

[Waddzy]

Experiences you will never forget. Bring lots of $5 notes too ;)

Hollywood showgirls?

[shavey]

Hollywood showgirls?

No, a few of the lads fancy themselves as dancers :lol: Bring some dark shades too because eye contact makes it uncomfortable if you are paired together the next day.

[Steve57]

My first one as well.And mine although I am not staying, just driving down each day.

[popper81]

And mine although I am not staying, just driving down each day.

Wise move. Due to other commitments I will be doing the same.

[AndyP]

Any success on the weekend from non-stayers comes with an asterisk.

[Hux]

Any success on the weekend from non-stayers comes with an asterisk.

Come on surely the Ferrit is staying down. Everyone else is making up the numbers so there will be no asterix's handed out

[Ferrins]

I will be bunking at Sanctuary Cove.

[Dotty]

Hollywood showgirls?
Close.

A Gympie Meter Maid.

[AndyP]

Alright, time to stat you up.

Here are the attendance numbers to date:
9 - AndyP, BrisVegas, damoocow, Iain
8 - Choppa, Eag's, peter_rs, shazza_rs
7 - dc68, markTHEblake, nudgee, shavey
6 - Bruce, Courty, jarro, Jono, PeteyD

I also keep track of finishing position and turn it into a percentile. Of those who are playing this year, here are the highest ranked with the number of champs/percentile/best pos in brackets.

Ferrins (3 / 87% / 1)
LeftyHoges (1 / 77% / 9)
titliest (2 / 75% / 3)
nudgee (7 / 68% / 1)
Daves (4 / 64% / 4)
dc68 (7 / 64% / 1)
AndyP (9 / 63% / 6)
peter_rs (8 / 63% / 2)
Hux (4 / 61% / 3)
goughy (4 / 60% / 6)

The average number of players each year is over 36. 36!!! With the lowest being 19 in the first year (2004), and the highest is 47 (2009, 2011).

[damoocow]

What are the stat's on how many Sunday rounds Choppa has played and/or where he was found on Sunday morning if he didn't...

[AndyP]

If he makes a Sunday, that would be the first, wouldn't it?

Previous Champions
2004 - Iain
2005 - gazgolf1
2006 - dc68
2007 - BrisVegas
2008 - Davemason
2009 - petethepilot
2010 - Oxy
2011 - nudgee
2012 - Ferrins

There are a few stayaway asterisks in that list.

[goughy]

Any asterisks for belly or long putters in that group? Just asking for sms, you know...

[Lobsta]

Come on surely the Ferrit is staying down. Everyone else is making up the numbers so there will be no asterix's handed out

Really, compared to the ferret sleeping in a greenside bunker, everyone gets an asterisk.

[LeftyHoges]

Alright, time to stat you up.

Here are the attendance numbers to date:

Look at that. 77% of you are screwed in the Vs Lefty challenge. :lol:

[KristianJ]

Lefty, statistics are like bikinis.

They show you a lot, but they don't show you everything.

[LeftyHoges]

Lefty, statistics are like bikinis.

They show you a lot, but they don't show you everything.

Plus, 47% of statistics are made up on the spot.

76% of people know that.

[3Puttpete]

I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate.

[LeftyHoges]

I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate.

Did you know that dyslexics have more fnu?

[3Puttpete]

At the DNA parties?

[Grunt]

Can gladly say that this will be Champs number 5 for me and I have never ever been in the hunt :) But Geez it has been a good time!

[goughy]

I still firmly remember Grunt, at the KV champs, at the resort sign in desk signing a document saying he wouldn't bring in any outside alcohol while he had a carton on his shoulder.

Ah KV, what a great champs. Remember choppa!

[PeteyD]

Alas poor KV. What a place to have a champs.

[Grunt]

I still firmly remember Grunt, at the KV champs, at the resort sign in desk signing a document saying he wouldn't bring in any outside alcohol while he had a carton on his shoulder.

Ah KV, what a great champs. Remember choppa!
Or the Bribie Champs where we found Choppa outside the next morning.

[Waddzy]

After keeping track of the WA champs timeline ... 3 weeks cant go fast enough. Im just glad there is no special rainbow shirts or laces to be won..

[popper81]

Choppa

Can the favourite win without paying the fee?

34 with nudgee and Lefty.

Ha! Didn't even notice I wasn't in the list!

[goughy]

I would expect that with a number of other champs around, some would forgo coming to qld to play in their local.

[LeftyHoges]

Only Palm Meadows and Hope Island having online Course guides is a bit disappoint.

How will I know where to hit it only to flare it into the piss anyway?

[Dcanto]

Only Palm Meadows and Hope Island having online Course guides is a bit disappoint.How will I know where to hit it only to flare it into the piss anyway? I have a course guide booklet for the Glades from when I last played there about 10 years ago. I think it is still accurate. I will see if I can scan it at work next week and put it on the forum.

[LeftyHoges]

Much appreciated mate!

[goughy]

Course guide is useless for those of us that can't guarantee well hit the ball in the right direction.

[Marto65]

Just google earth it, lefty.

[sms316]

Just google earth it, lefty. I think jarro may have played there. Send him a PM.

[dc68]

Paid

[popper81]

$40 sent. Happy now?

[AndyP]

No. I was hoping the pressure would make you withdraw.

I have 12 kids... Withdraw is against my nature.

Can the favourite win without paying the fee?

The fave could win from his hotel room with only a putter head and a cracked Hot Dot.

[KristianJ]

Do any of the Sydney guys live close enough to the airport line for me to borrow some of their driveway for Thursday to Monday and save myself some $$ on airport parking? Or perhaps grab a ride from someone's place to the airport if they're heading to work in the city?

I'm thinking about getting a train from Penrith to the airport but my golf travel bag plus carry on might be a little awkward for that length a journey...

9:00 flight, so I'd be aiming to get to the terminal around 8.

[Captain Nemo]

KJ
I can drop you off Thursday morning?
Only $15-20 cab ride back on Monday?

Perfect...cheers L. I'll shoot a PM your way to get your address in a moment or 2 - I think I remember it but better off checking so that I don't end up somewhere else.

[backintheswing]

For those staying on Thursday night, are you staying at the crowne plaza or somewhere else.

I am booked in there Friday to Sunday nights, but thinking of staying there Thursday as well.

[Captain Nemo]

I'm staying , but with the missus the king bed might be a bit squishy with 3 of us!
;)

[Lucasto23]

5 more sleeps people, getting very excited about this

[Marto65]

Me too. Like a dog with 2 dicks.

[sms316]

Will jarro be at the champs?

[mrbluu]

5 more sleeps people, getting very excited about this

Me too, I can't wait to drink your beers!!!

[goughy]

Will you?

[mrbluu]

Why not....
