2014 VIC OZgolf Champs - Feb 7 - 10

[LeftyHoges]

That sentance gave me movement.

I was embellishing a little to scare Solarman. There's not massive amounts, but more than enough to irritate him.

Oh, you meant the links style course...!!! :lol:

[LarryLong]

Haven't you got a Half Marathon to run or something??

I hear he'll be walking one.

[LeftyHoges]

A few more payments received including final payment by FoxGolf and Deposits from the RS's.

Welcome aboard Pete and Shaz.

Guys, I have quite a few question marks next to names for carts on Saturday and Sunday. Can we please start thinking about whether you want one or not. At this stage there's only 5 cart spots left for Saturday and 6 for Sunday. If we need extras I'll have to try and get them SOONER rather than LATER.

[Captain Nemo]

Lefty, do you seed the final day?
Hows it work for carts etc....?

[LeftyHoges]

Lefty, do you seed the final day?
Hows it work for carts etc....?

Bloody good question actually. Carts were compulsory the final day last year so it wasn't an issue. Hadn't thought of it.

Yes, we most definitely do seed the final day. I'll jiggle where I can and I'm sure it will mostly fit and there should be some cash around to make sure the majority of carts are paid for. People may have to chip in an extra $10 if they find themselves alone in a cart.

[Captain Nemo]

Cool, i'll ask my mate, see what he wants to do...

[LeftyHoges]

Cool, i'll ask my mate, see what he wants to do...

No problemo.

He was gammon, wasn't he? He's no longer in the Member list...

[WBennett]

Lefty

No carts for me thanks.

[Captain Nemo]

No problemo.

He was gammon, wasn't he? He's no longer in the Member list...

Yeh?
Im playing with him on sunday, ill check...

[Ned]

Carts for me please.

And Grumpy.

[FoxGolf]

No carts for me thanks Lefty. Although I'll share one if it makes it easier for your draw.

[AndyP]

Lefty, are you running in the morning and walking for golf on Saturday? You're a machine!

[solarman]

Remember to band aid your nipples.....stops chafe I believe.

[Marto65]

Bob, do you use a X or a + ??

[LeftyHoges]

Lefty

No carts for me thanks.

Noted. Thanks.


Carts for me please.

And Grumpy.

Noted.

And noted.

Thanks.

Noted.

Thanks.
:mrgreen:


Lefty, are you running in the morning and walking for golf on Saturday? You're a machine!

Upon careful reflection, I feel my body can only do the run, or play the golf, regardless of use of a cart....

So I'm out for Saturday golf.


Bob, do you use a X or a + ??

Knowing Bob, he'd use the lightning bolt formation.

[AndyP]

Remember to band aid your nipples.....stops chafe I believe.That sounds a bit kinky.

[Marto65]

Knowing Bob, he'd use the lightning bolt formation. Bob has Harry Potter nipples?

[G.K]

Lefty, you can put me down for carts and confirmed for all 5 days of golf. Being the Adonis that I am, I fear I'll need the help of a cart to get me through 5 days of golf back to back. But as said by FoxGolf earlier, I can leg it if need be if it helps make groupings easier to sort out.

I'll pull my finger out too and send you some more coin too now that I'm good to go for the whole shebang!

[FoxGolf]

Awesome work GK. what flights are you on?

[Peppas]

I'll get carts too... I'm too lazy to walk :)

[LeftyHoges]

OK, I've carried out an extensive audit of everything this morning. All prices, paids and owings are true and correct at the current rates.

If you believe anything is out of the ordinary, stiff shit basically, it's all true! :lol:

Note: There is 1 remaining booked in cart spot for Saturday. Be quick. I can't guarantee any more this close to the date but will attempt to get them if you want them.

[AndyP]

Lefty, you need to add into my comments that I am the current champion in the OZgolf Champs ParkRun.

[LeftyHoges]

Lefty, you need to add into my comments that I am the current champion in the OZgolf Champs ParkRun.

Done. Challenger listed also.

Would've thought the Site Owner would've had the power to change that himself though... ;-)

[AndyP]

I ain't ****ing with another man's list.

[LeftyHoges]

I ain't ****ing with another man's list.

:lol:

[Shadesy]

Jarro in for this?

[LeftyHoges]

Jarro in for this?

Still on the 'undecided' list...

[Monsta]

Lefty,

Just confirming, you have me for carts Sat & Sun only?

[LeftyHoges]

Lefty,

Just confirming, you have me for carts Sat & Sun only?

Sure do monsta.

These are the only days carts are available unless by special request.

[Peppas]

Whats a parkrun?

[Monsta]

Thanks Capt

[LeftyHoges]

Whats a parkrun?

The gruelling 5km run on the Saturday morning. Compulsory for all VIC Champs entrants.

[Shadesy]

Any hidden places to errrmmmm make a pit stop?

Optional for committee members isnt it Lefty?????

[LeftyHoges]

Optional for committee members isnt it Lefty?????

Sure thing. Gotta be some perks to being on a committee.

Organisers get a time set for them, mine is 15m27s, a mere 7 seconds behind the record. I went close but just couldn't quite get there.

[AndyP]

Here's the current OZgolf ParkRun world record run:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/274828229
This time will be reduced next week on the Gold Coast.

What time is the GC Run?

[Monsta]

Can I book a cart for the run????????

[Courty]

Can I book a cart for the run???????? Shotgun!

[AndyP]

What time is the GC Run?7am or 8am Vic time. There are three of us so far.
http://www.parkrun.com.au/mainbeach/

[Shadesy]

I'll run... At this stage.

Can we do the a score that with every beer you had the night before is combined with your overall run time... So you run the risk of over consuming or finding that nice balance...

Tiger drank so much he could be finishing now though.

I'm so drunk!

I like that, we'll get two trophies sorted. ;-)

[Waddzy]

How much will I need to drink to ensure no running is required :neutral: . I don't think I would make golf before dark if I ran 5km

[WBennett]

Enjoy the run boys. I decided to walk to Portsea instead. Meet you there

[simmsy]

I will be walking to a nearby cafe for some B&E with several shots of coffee. You lads enjoy yourselves though.

Bacons overrated anyway.

[FoxGolf]

Coffee's overrated. Bacon makes everything better.

[WBennett]

The restaurant downstairs does a sensational breakfast.

I need to find the pancake machine.

[LeftyHoges]

The restaurant downstairs does a sensational breakfast.

I need to find the pancake machine.

Yep. Scrambled eggs on toast to start with a glass of OJ and a glass of AJ.

Then move on to a big bowl of Coco Pops with 2 more glasses of AJ and OJ. Breakfast of Champions.

Missed it on Saturday last year. Can't remember why.

[Peppas]

Is it all you can eat?

[BenM]

Is it all you can eat?

Yep, I think so, from memory it's your regular hotel buffet type breakfast so you can stock right up.

[Peppas]

Yep, I think so, from memory it's your regular hotel buffet type breakfast so you can stock right up.

OK well you guys have a good run I'll be eating breakfast :)

[AndyP]

We do both. An earned breakfast tastes so much better.

[idgolfguy]

Gents,
Apologise for the short notice - I could be a heavy pencil for this. Our family Europe trip to happen in December got cancelled suddenly.

We have a couple of contingencies that we have get over and will be able to confirm by 2nd week of December.

Will touch base with the WA guys for the travel etc.

[markTHEblake]

Could have some late interest. Just for sat/sun maybe Friday though I do see its full., I would be flying out Sunday night. I assume that the transport from the courses to and from the city will easily be covered by the locals? As the courses seem far away.

[WBennett]

Vic

Hope you make it - it would be great to have another hit with you.

Blakey - there should be a few cars around that could get you to the City to the Peninsula and back.

[BenM]

There will be cars ferrying people around, I'm counting on it :)

A couple more travellers from interstate would be awesome. MTB can have the gay marriage debate on Saturday night over beers. I'll bring popcorn.

[markTHEblake]

Unlikely, I cant talk nor type after beers.

[BenM]

You can drink lemonade. More beers for me :)

Seriously though... Make the trip. It will be a fun filled weekend of bad golf and good company.

[markTHEblake]

I assume that RM Friday is fully subscribed now?

[BenM]

Fair question... Lefty would know for sure, but if the list above is up to date, yes.

Often people drop out getting closer to the time though so maybe a spot will open up.

[WBennett]

Last I heard Popper and Lucas were very doubtful.

[BenM]

Last I heard Popper and Lucas were very doubtful.

Yep, heard that too.

[WBennett]

I have movement watching the Masters. Royal Melbourne looks sorta ok.

[BenM]

Sorta ok. Haha. Huge greens, just my kinda course :)

[WBennett]

I would average five putts per green

[simmsy]

I will be amazed if I don't 4j atleast 3 times.

Might put some sticky goo on my ball to try and stick approach shots.

[BenM]

Yep. As I said, good fun. :D

[Monsta]

Where's the countdown clock for this??????

[BenM]

http://itsalmo.st/#ozgolfvicchampstime

[Monsta]

That long :mad:

[mrbluu]

I'm an outside chance of making this, just looking at accommodation packages for the the bluu family......

[BenM]

Hope you can make it too, B. It'll be epic!

[popper81]

I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen.

[WBennett]

I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen.

Sadface.

[LeftyHoges]

Sadface.

Super-dooper sad face.

[BenM]

I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen.

Booooo. Ya great galoot.

Now who will provide the entertainment? Where is the drunk thread?

[WBennett]

I suspect with the 4 corners of the country coming together, we will find someone else...

Simmsy.

[AndyP]

I am a barrel of laughs.

[mike]

Tempted.

[popper81]

[Waddzy]

Hope you can make it mate will be a great week again! Im going to be going on a complete overhaul of my game between now and then.. see if I can break 30 points in VIC!

[mrbluu]

Hope you can make it mate will be a great week again! Im going to be going on a complete overhaul of my game between now and then.. see if I can break 30 points in VIC!

I don't you need an overhaul mate, I think just some alignment sticks and practice will have you craving it up!!!

[PeteyD]

Wish this was sooner ...

[Waddzy]

79 days till we land in Melb...

#Bringiton

[Monsta]

I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen.

Not good Popper :cry:


Now who will provide the entertainment?

Dont worry about the entertainment Ben, who the hell is going to get Lefty off the tiles??????

[LeftyHoges]

I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen.


I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen.

Double confirmation. Boo-urns.

Gents, I will reply to you all regarding PM's queries etc. first chance I get.

[Captain Nemo]

I am a confirmed non-starter. Have fun gentlemen. Who's gunna drive my cart....

[popper81]

Double confirmation. Boo-urns.

Gents, I will reply to you all regarding PM's queries etc. first chance I get.

Umm, yeah.... Seems I am still on the double train from the weekend.


Who's gunna drive my cart....

:lol:

[Lagerlover]

Wish this was sooner ...

Wish this was closer ...

[PeteyD]

Wish this was closer ...

You want to be closer to Helbourne?

[LarryLong]

Who's gunna drive my cart....

Zigwah's brother is available if you give enough notice

[LeftyHoges]

Zigwah's brother is available if you give enough notice

And supply the slab of Jack. He doesn't do it for free you know.

[Captain Nemo]

Zigwah's brother is available if you give enough notice

I'd rather ride with Ziggy....

[Peppas]

My flight in on Friday changed... to 10mins earlier, thanks Jetstar!

[mrbluu]

My flight in on Friday changed... to 10mins earlier, thanks Jetstar! Get used to it....

[Captain Nemo]

Shit, I better book flights....

[AndyP]

I've had two notifications of changes so far, and the second one didn't even look like a change.

[Peppas]

I've had two notifications of changes so far, and the second one didn't even look like a change.

Did you "accept" their first notification?

I neglected to go through that procedure and got another notification a week or two later...

[Peppas]

Shit, I better book flights....

I thought you jumped on that "take a friend" deal thingy and had like $30 flights?

[Captain Nemo]

Nah, my friend wasn't organised at the time....

[Peppas]

Nah, my friend wasn't organised at the time....

We could've been friends for the flight.... ha ;)

[AndyP]

Did you "accept" their first notification?

I neglected to go through that procedure and got another notification a week or two later...
Yes, but I wondered if it didn't work via mobile browsing.
Last year they screwed Iain and I by a few hours.

[WBennett]

Can this just hurry the hell up!

[Waddzy]

Can this just hurry the hell up!
(like)

[FoxGolf]

Can this just hurry the hell up!

Like +100000000000000

[LeftyHoges]

Dislike. Not everyone has paid and I can't foot the bill! :lol:

[LeftyHoges]

Id looking likely for this trip. Welcome aboard, provisionally.

Would be good to have you Blakey. As it sits right now there are 4 RM spots still available. If the transport is not covered by the locals (as we seem to be having a massive interstate invasion!) then there are hire cars around with people flying out on Sunday night, so I'm sure things can be arranged.


Last I heard Popper and Lucas were very doubtful.

Popper confirmed out. After speaking with Lucas at champs I rate him 40/60.


I have movement watching the Masters. Royal Melbourne looks sorta ok.

I had permanent movement while playing there 2 months ago. That's why I scored so badly. Swing had to be a lot flatter. ;-)

I cannot stress enough to you guys how magical the place is.


I'm an outside chance of making this, just looking at accommodation packages for the the bluu family......

Put them up in Crown Towers with all your casino winnings.

Oh wait....


Tempted.

Get on board mike. That short game of yours will tear RM a new one. I'll send you a PM with details. Would be a fantastic effort to have 6 FNQers here. Tomson still lurking as a possibility too makes 7.


Dont worry about the entertainment Ben, who the hell is going to get Lefty off the tiles??????

I am now 2 consecutive champs tile free, should be OK to survive this one too. Popper not needed, but sorely missed.

[Monsta]

Dont count on doing 3 Lefty, I already have a bottle of Ouzo with your name on it...........

[LeftyHoges]

If it's store bought, that's fine. Can handle one of those no problems.

It's the home-made ones that phuck me.

[Waddzy]

My mate has a nasty home brew vodka and ouzo... Ill bring some down!

[LeftyHoges]

My mate has a nasty home brew vodka and ouzo... Ill bring some down!

For everyone else?

That'd be great! :lol:

[LeftyHoges]

Just as an update, I've noticed on Portsea GC's website that they have pull buggies for $5, or electric buggies for $15. The pull buggies will be fine, but if you would like an electric buggy please let me know as I assume we will have to book these ahead of time.

EDIT: Woodlands GC also has these for $15 it seems.

2nd EDIT: You may also hire a caddy at RM for $100, plus optional tip. :lol:

[Ned]

Lefty, will let you know by late December if the three other potentials are a chance if there are spots available still.

No probs.


Buggies for grumpy and I please.

Electric for you and grumpy @ Woodlands & Portsea?


Caddy sounds good. He can toss the balls out of the bunkers for me.

he could hit it out there for you. At least that's a little more honest... :lol:

[Ned]

No probs. Electric for you and grumpy @ Woodlands & Portsea? Yes please

[Marto65]

I thought I had already put in that I wanted some electric boogaloo?

[Ned]

[LeftyHoges]

You have, these are for electric buggies (ie. the push kind) at Woodlands and Portsea.


Yes please

You guys already have carts at Portsea, I assume you want them, not the buggies?

[PeteyD]

I paid up too, probably need an update to the first post.

I'll take carts on Thursday and Monday if there is an option and I haven't yet.

No electric pushy pushy shit either.

[LeftyHoges]

I paid up too, probably need an update to the first post.

No electric pushy pushy shit either.

So you have, corrected.

I'll have to check on carts for those days, not sure whats available.

Simmsy will probably be happy to share a cart on the Thursday with you.

[Marto65]

Yeah mate. Carts. I was just test you.

[PeteyD]

So you have, corrected.

I'll have to check on carts for those days, not sure whats available.

Simmsy will probably be happy to share a cart on the Thursday with you.

However it works. Will walk if nothing going.

[simmsy]

Yeah I will go a cart on the Thursday probably. Walking the rest.

[Waddzy]

Might be a stupid question but is RM on the Friday inclusive of carts?

[AndyP]

Sacrilege!!!!

[Waddzy]

Sacrilege!!!!
I'm asking as I would prefer the option of walking ;)..

[chappy1970]

Agreed AP, why wouldn't you want to walk those grand fairways

[PeteyD]

Even this old cripple is walking on friday.

[LeftyHoges]

No carts.

Agreed AndyP, that would be sacrilege.

[AndyP]

Do they have segways though?

[LeftyHoges]

Do they have segways though?

I'd pay for that!

[LeftyHoges]

OK boys, its official.

Solarman is ALL PAID UP and he's not getting his money back under any circumstance.

If you want to see the golfing marvel that is the Bobster you can safely pay now!

[PeteyD]

Shit. What chance a refund?





Nah just kidding. Be good to see the Bob.

[3Puttpete]

Solarman v RM?

[popper81]

This entire thread makes me SAD...

#fatkidsad

27531

[FoxGolf]

Not playing any golf or exercising at the moment so five days of golf in a row, all walking, might be a bit much for this unfit bugga.

Any chance you can put me down for a cart on Saturday and Sunday Lefty? I can transfer the extra $'s to you today if there's spots still available.

[Shadesy]

I'm training for the 5k run.

What's the time to beat?

[AndyP]

My time? I ran 19:32 at Vic Champs and 18:44 at Qld Champs.

[LeftyHoges]

Solarman v RM?

The Epic battle. I've got him backed in for 7 points. If his confederate soldier opposition doesn't win this match he will be executed on the spot.


This entire thread makes me SAD...

Sorry Pops, the show must go on but it won't be the same without one of its leading men.

Sure thing mate. Carts are $44 for the two days.


My time? I ran 19:32 at Vic Champs and 18:44 at Qld Champs.

The air must be thicker down here at.... lake level???

[AndyP]

The air must be thicker down here at.... lake level???Nah, I've improved my piss-fitness over the year.

[FoxGolf]

$44 for carts transferred.

[LeftyHoges]

Nah, I've improved my piss-fitness over the year.

Something I've half worked on this year too.

Got the piss part down.

Now for the fitness.


$44 for carts transferred.

Thanks Foxy!

OK guys, with that there is one more guaranteed cart spot on Saturday and 2 more on Sunday. After these have been filled I cannot guarantee any more cart spots. Of course if you ask I shall request but be prepared to be disappoint.

[AndyP]

I'm just checking on the more important parts of the weekend.

Good recon work.

For those who are interested, it's a hell of a walk to that bottleshop. BenM and I did it last year. I advise you to get your grog on the Friday morning, or on the way back from Royal Melbourne.

You have been warned!

[Shadesy]

My time? I ran 19:32 at Vic Champs and 18:44 at Qld Champs.

Crap. I'm at 14.30 for 3.3 k's

Bit of work to do.

[simmsy]

Run fatboy run

[AndyP]

For those who are interested, it's a hell of a walk to that bottleshop. BenM and I did it last year.
Where was my invite? :(
Is it about 3k? They have taps there, so you can stay for a couple while you decide on what you are buying.
The Local Taphouse near Carlisle St, St Kilda has 20 taps, I believe.
It's Thursday night that I am thinking about.


Crap. I'm at 14.30 for 3.3 k's
You'll have to at least run sub-20 to be a chance or get me very drunk with homemade Ouzo.

[haysey]

Crap. I'm at 14.30 for 3.3 k's

We can race for second place, Shadesy. Assuming no further calf dramas I'd love to go just under 25 minutes.

[BenM]

There were no taps at the bottle shop we went to Andy.

I suggest we head into either Purvis or Slowbeer (Slowbeer.com.au) both in Bridge Rd Richmond. Might be a bit far to walk though :)

Went here last visit.

Nice place. About 30 beers. Not one amber.

Nice food and atmosphere though and highly recommended.

Sub 20 is doable. Not a great distance runner but can run it and be ready to run again after 30 seconds.

If you want to go drink for drink Andy, that will make it fair. I don't drink a lot ;-)

[WBennett]

Thursday night - I was thinking of finding a Bar (20) for the evening....

[BenM]

We should have more than one beer in Young and Jackson's this time. And they should be something other than Carlton Draught.

[Marto65]

I'm really going to miss Popper making up the numbers in this.

[BenM]

I'm sure you'll find another trusty sidekick Marto. But he will be missed.

[AndyP]

Thursday only has a BBQ planned so far, which is why I was thinking a bar with taps for a few beers, instead of a bottle-o.

[LeftyHoges]

Thursday only has a BBQ planned so far, which is why I was thinking a bar with taps for a few beers, instead of a bottle-o.

The last groups won't be finishing until 8:30, so they'll be late drinks. But it's a late start on Friday so this could well be an option.

To let everyone know now, it's a bit unfortunate but we are gonna have to get our skates on at Woodlands to make sure all groups get through, sunset is at 8:29 on this day.

[Ned]

Courty Bunny ROF?


;)

[WBennett]

If we can't get 5 groups through in 4:30 for a social round we should be shot.

[LeftyHoges]

If we can't get 5 groups through in 4:30 for a social round we should be shot.

We only just got 2 through at Kingswood teeing off at 3:45 last year. But sunset was a full 5 minutes earlier last year. ;-)

[Waddzy]

Playing stableford should be fine but? If everyone is informed to keep a pace.. 4 hours should be easy.

[AndyP]

If you can't finish a round of golf in one hour, you're a slow prick.

Plenty of time for beers then. :D

What would be the rough cut off time for the 5km run ? As in.. if you cant do it under .... Don't bother. Thinking this might give me something to train for and stop being a fat prick.

In the last race, there was a finisher in 50 minutes. That's pretty much walking pace.

It is a couple of kilometres jog to the start line too.

[goughy]

Pretty much, you mean actually walking pace.

Don't think of the time, think of the achievement.

[Waddzy]

In that case.. I better start running. Ill do 5km in the next few days and see where im at.

[AndyP]

Pretty much, you mean actually walking pace.For most of us it is, but it may have been a bigger or older lady who shuffled the 5k. To her it would be far from walking.

The answer is that there would not be a cutoff time that would be within the time that you could achieve. These events are about participation and fitness. My regular running club is the same.

[andigold]

Where was my invite? :(

The Local Taphouse near Carlisle St, St Kilda has 20 taps, I believe.
It's Thursday night that I am thinking about.


It's fantastic Andy, here's their list from a couple of weeks ago (it changes all the time)

[BenM]

They have (had) an 8 wired beer that I haven't tried yet.

Let's go there!!

[AndyP]

It's fantastic Andy, here's their list from a couple of weeks ago (it changes all the time)
Not cheap, is it? Especially when something like Trumer Pils is pretty standard stuff. Still I wouldn't mind popping in at some stage for a visit.

Do you like how I'm involved in discussions on beer and running during the Vic Champs at the same time? What golf?

[LarryLong]

Crap. I'm at 14.30 for 3.3 k's

Bit of work to do.

Just run the last mile in 4 minutes and you're home and hosed.

Will times from an alternative parkrun count?

[Waddzy]

I was more thinking of a cut-off time for how long we have before we need to leave and go back for the golf.. athough a beer trip Friday night with the run on Saturday could get interesting :D let the games begin

[AndyP]

Friday is in-house with our own beers.

Lefty can tell us what time the convoy needs to be moving to get to the course at a good time. We can work backwards from that to make sure we have plenty of time for five feedings at the buffet breakfast.

[WBennett]

Pretty much, you mean actually walking pace.

Don't think of the time, think of the achievement.

I'm walking 90 holes in 5 days.

That's enough achievement for me.

[Dotty]

I'm walking 90 holes in 5 days.

That's enough achievement for me.
ROFL.

[AndyP]

It took you less time to do 100k.

[WBennett]

It took you less time to do 100k.

And my body is still broken, 3 months later. My little toenail fell off for the 3rd time since August yesterday....

I was there Back end of October and they were different again.

Still no Dam Amber Ales!!

Tasting Paddles all the way!

[Monsta]

Do you like how I'm involved in discussions on beer and running during the Vic Champs at the same time? What golf?

I intend to do the following running at the Vic Champs:

out of money
out of alcohol
low on sleep

:)

[BenM]

I'm walking 90 holes in 5 days.

You will beat my blister record for 'feet most resembling a lump of raw meat'.

Make sure you put the photos up here and on Facebook so the whole of OzGolf can point and laugh go 'ewwww'.

Friday is in-house with our own beers.

Lefty can tell us what time the convoy needs to be moving to get to the course at a good time. We can work backwards from that to make sure we have plenty of time for five feedings at the buffet breakfast.

I think I'd like everyone at RM by 12, but will confirm with andigold what things (if any) are happening prior to tee-off. Stay tuned.

[Marto65]

Will there be a scratch prize?

[Shadesy]

I think I'd like everyone at RM by 12, but will confirm with andigold what things (if any) are happening prior to tee-off. Stay tuned.

Simmsy will be there at First light, he'll be spent at 12pm.

[LeftyHoges]

Will there be a scratch prize?

There will not be A scratch prize....





There will be two!

Nett winner
Scratch winner
Scratch runner-up.
:mrgreen:

[popper81]

I'm really going to miss Popper making up the numbers in this.

Thanks Marto.


I'm sure you'll find another trusty sidekick Marto. But he will be missed.

Trusty side kick... Please!!!

I am the big show, Benny. Don't forget it either.

[LeftyHoges]

Saturday, not Friday. When would we have to leave the hotel?

Oh, right, sorry.

First groups off at 12:15, would like to have the putting comp on Saturday this time so leave 30 minutes for that, 1.5 hours down the freeway to be safe. I would think most would want to leave the motel by 10 at the absolute latest.

[AndyP]

That is pushing it a little close then. It's an 8am start for the run.

[LarryLong]

Call off the putting comp?

[simmsy]

Correct Shadesy. I am a cert to be at RM at first light.
But I'll have a nana-nap prior to tee off.

[WBennett]

I might play cheltenham as a warm up to rm.

Anyone up for the cups course on saturday as well?

[Courty]

Anyone up for the cups course on saturday as well?

What's that?

[Marto65]

What's that? is that the little 9 holer at the dunes?

[WBennett]

What's that?

9 holer at The Dunes. Never played there

[Courty]

9 holer at The Dunes. Never played there

Hmmm, interesting.

[BenM]

That would be a good excuse to not get too pissed Friday night. Probably a good idea for me to think about it :)

[FoxGolf]

I'd be interested.

[Waddzy]

64 days till arriving in Tullamarine airport .. Saying I cant wait would be an understatement.. Is this being played off anchors yet? :D

[LeftyHoges]

Didn't I tell everyone? It's all scratch now.

;-)

[popper81]

Didn't I tell everyone? It's all scratch now.

;-)

What? No prizes?

[LeftyHoges]

What? No prizes?

Of course there are prizes. Just for the good golfers though.

[Marto65]

Of course there are prizes. Just for the good golfers though. Should I book an extra seat on the plane for the journey home?

[LeftyHoges]

Should I book an extra seat on the plane for the journey home?

For your sandbag?

[Monsta]

Of course there are prizes. Just for the good golfers though.

Now that I know this I think I will spend a little less time on the trophies as I have no chance :shock:

[Marto65]

For your sandbag? wouldn't I need that on the plane down?

[LeftyHoges]

wouldn't I need that on the plane down?

I would just assume you'd carry it around all weekend so yeah, book one on the way down too.

[Marto65]

I would just assume you'd carry it around all weekend so yeah, book one on the way down too. might not be room in spuds car.

[popper81]

might not be room in spuds car.

Team extra girth?

[WBennett]

Team extra girth?

I'm glad we don't have to fit you too. Mario and Poppa in 1 car? There wouldn't be enough words left for thoughts let alone speech.

[popper81]

I'm glad we don't have to fit you too. Mario and Poppa in 1 car? There wouldn't be enough words left for thoughts let alone speech.

Me too... I have the bladder of a pregnant female, I would piss myself 10 times over before you stopped.

[Shadesy]

Taking Tina on a Holiday?

Lefty, Will we be adopting the Handicap Index according to Slope for the Championship days?

[WBennett]

Everything off anchors!

[LeftyHoges]

Taking Tina on a Holiday?

Lefty, Will we be adopting the Handicap Index according to Slope for the Championship days?

I guess we will be. Comes in Jan 23 so it'll be up and running. We do a lot of firsts here in good ol' Vic.

1st champs with Gamebook
1st champs with slope
1st champs with scratch as the main prize. ;-)

[FoxGolf]

I don't mind a good scratch. Does that mean i'll win something?

[simmsy]

depends if you're willing to scratch where Lefty is itchin!

[FoxGolf]

If the prize is good enough!!

[simmsy]

Lefty just raised a smile

[popper81]

Is Blakey going?

I want long range odds on muldude to clean up ;)

[LeftyHoges]

Is Blakey going?

I want long range odds on muldude to clean up ;)

Haven't heard back from him.

[markTHEblake]

Is Blakey going? I want long range odds on muldude to clean up ;)I am getting a wisdom tooth pulled that day - probably.Who is mulldude?

[Marto65]

Looks like Lefty might be favourite for this event .... if DC's not going ...

With 3 out of his next 4 rounds dropping off, he could well find himself out to 4 or 5 by the time the Vic Champs roll in ...

[Shadesy]

Played to 4 coming off my cap this weekend.

Should be a tasty 12 by Vic champs ;-)

[simmsy]

Lefty needs to look over his shoulder.

Shadesy is playing left handed with only 3w and wedge in his bag this wend

[Marto65]

Lefty needs to look over his shoulder. Shadesy is playing left handed with only 3w and wedge in his bag this wend with any luck I'll be out to 9. But it won't be enough.

He's been practicing left handed to try and out-drive me like I damn near did to him.

[Shadesy]

Is that like you nearly beat Canuck?

[LeftyHoges]

Is that like you nearly beat Canuck?

I beat him for scratch. That's the real trophy.

[LeftyHoges]

We will be teeing off in exactly 50 days time.

I am excite.

For all those who haven't confirmed details with me can we please start doing so, if there is a question mark against your name anywhere I need confirmation ASAP.

[WBennett]

Wooooooooo.
Hooooooooo.

[FoxGolf]

I'm excite too.

No question marks for me Lefty but your list is still showing me as owing $44 for carts. This was transferred to you on 28th November. Let me know if you didn't receive the deposit.

So it did. My apologies Foxy. You're all square mate, cheers.

[simmsy]

I am disappoint.

i was expecting to be off 11 for this event but i well and truly ****ed that up today.

9 it will be.

[LeftyHoges]

I am disappoint.

i was expecting to be off 11 for this event but i well and truly ****ed that up today.

9 it will be.

So there'll only be 4 shots between us when Feb rolls around?

Giddy up!

[Johnny Canuck]

I beat him for scratch. That's the real trophy.

The Special OzGolf Challenge Match Play is far more prestigious, and what I was playing for.

[WBennett]

On current form Monsta might be off single figures!

[FoxGolf]

I am disappoint.

i was expecting to be off 11 for this event but i well and truly ****ed that up today.

Must have played well today Simmsy. Well done.

[Marto65]

Good work Simmsy. You and I might have a scratch match for the Nullarbor.

[simmsy]

Pigs Arse Marto!

Might get me dear old dad to play a few rounds under my gl# for me. He plays more than me. Still might be able to get out to 10. I've got 8 free games before flags drop 6 weeks till Vic. I think I could do it.

[Marto65]

I've got 2 rounds in the next three falling off ... not sure if I can hold on to 8 ...

Besides ... I'm getting old ... I need those shots.

[Peppas]

What about the chopper handicaps, will I win that one?

[Captain Nemo]

I've got 2 rounds in the next three falling off ... not sure if I can hold on to 8 ...

Give it a rest Champ.... :)

[Marto65]

Mate .. that was ages ago ... how long am I the champ for?

[Captain Nemo]

Mate .. that was ages ago ... how long am I the champ for?

Till the next Champs.....!
:smt023

[Marto65]

Till the next Champs.....!

[Captain Nemo]

Yep, just ask Ferret.
