Blatant evidence of pre uncivil war sandbagging.........

[AndyP]

Anyone that has played it before has a very big advantage. As a result, I think Bruce and Lefty's odds are very generous.

Dear Marto65

While I find your meme's slightly amusing, if you wish to cast dispersions against my fellow brothers in arms, I feel that you may need to do what your team couldnt do last year and LIFT YOUR GAME !!!

We are tough skinned, mentally prepared and up to any challenge (or lack there of) that the Union Scum can present.

Strategy. An experienced matchplay winner like myself knows that hitting the approach shot first applies a lot of pressure, particularly on custard heads.

[peter_rs]

Its killing me.. Im starting to browse golfbox again.. oh man.

Me too

[AndyP]

I just ran a couple of current handicaps through the calculator for RM with a slope of 130 (blue 131 white 129).

So good!
I was going to play comp this weekend, but I may want to hang on to my double figure handicap instead.

[WBennett]

I have 11 rounds til a flag drops off. May as well get down to six

[LarryLong]

My local has a slope of 131, so I have the dubious honour of playing RM against my 'normal' handicap. How hard could it be?

[Peppas]

I think I am in the same boat as Larry... my local has a slope of 135.

[WBennett]

Ditto. Local is 136 so should be off 8

[LeftyHoges]

Yeah, how the hell RM is rated at 130 for a bogey golfer is beyond me!?

[Shadesy]

Out to 11 for RM.

[PeteyD]

Seems like every carry is around the 200 to 220 Mark.

[dc68]

I'm glad I'm not playing this. William Tecumseh SHERMAN being a Union General would be too much of a curse.

[LeftyHoges]

Seems like every carry is around the 200 to 220 Mark.

Yep, I can blast over most bunkers but there are a lot in the 200-220 range. Perfect for the bogey golfer. Baffling.

[WBennett]

So we blast over the bunkers and into the tee tree and 6 inch native grass rough. Yay!

[PeteyD]

Yep, I can blast over most bunkers but there are a lot in the 200-220 range. Perfect for the bogey golfer. Baffling.

Yea. Would think the bunkering would make the slope higher.

[LeftyHoges]

So we blast over the bunkers and into the tee tree and 6 inch native grass rough. Yay!

Sorry, I meant blast over them and draw or fade back into the fairway, not "just pop over top" of them with a weak fade or mongrel hook.

[Waddzy]

Yep, I can blast over most bunkers but there are a lot in the 200-220 range. Perfect for the bogey golfer. Baffling. But I cant carry 200? I need all those shots..

[LeftyHoges]

But I cant carry 200? I need all those shots..

Says the bloke who kept up with Courty and I at Hope Island.

NO SHOTS FOR YOU!!!

[Dotty]

But I cant carry 200? I need all those shots..
Then get that Titleist driver back.

You were on song with it at Palm Meadows.

[LarryLong]

I'm going to have to head to the range next week to try and work out if I actually can carry 200-220.

[Marto65]

I'm going to have to head to the range next week to try and work out if I actually can carry 200-220.

Sure you can Larry ... just go 5 iron, 5 iron.

[Marto65]

https://i.imgflip.com/6cmde.jpg

[kev]

So Courty has to give me just about a shot a hole. How good is that going to be!

[simmsy]

I'm going to have to head to the range next week to try and work out if I actually can carry 200-220.

Once u find that out then see if you can carry 230. At dunes you have to carry 230 just to reach the fwy!

[Marto65]

Once u find that out then see if you can carry 230. At dunes you have to carry 230 just to reach the fwy!

Just hit Driver Larry .... then the 7 iron out of the rough. You might get a flyer out of the rough lie, and there will be your 230.

[simmsy]

My plan was driver then 4h.

Cuts through the kack very nice my hyb.

[Waddzy]

I think ill just practice fairway bunker shots.. seems like the easier option not to fight it.

[LarryLong]

I'm more surprised that he's going to need a dozen of them. That's a lot of ineffective tee shots.

Very good question Mr Simms.

I believe the final result was a win to the confederates, 7.5 - 5.5, despite the Union holding what must have been close to a 10-3 lead after 9 holes.

[simmsy]

10-3!!!!
Wow!

Don't be like that, it's only simmsy & benno. Be thankful that we weren't drawn against good players.

[simmsy]

28 points.

Oh I thought Benno was referring to the slope rating of your home track.

[Shadesy]

BenM

I rate that highly

[simmsy]

About as highly as BenM rates Golf Australia since the 23rd Jan?

[AndyP]

28 points.

[LeftyHoges]

What time is lunch?

Do we have a running order for the events other than golf?

Still waiting for andigold to send me through the 'finer details'.

[KristianJ]

I wonder if the Confederate inbreds are aware of the significance of this day in the history of their stepforefathers...

[WBennett]

Humour me kj.

[KristianJ]

It's actually a legitimate fact, Benno. Random something I heard on the radio on the way home from 6 a side soccer tonight:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_4

The Confederacy is 162 years old today (only slightly older than LarryLong's threads for the weekend, I'd say).

[AndyP]

Spud, you will be pleased to know that you only give me one shot now. The 0.1 I lost from Saturday's round, actually cost a full shot at RM. If we can get the slope increased by 2, I can get the shot back though.

[LeftyHoges]

OK gents and lady, here are the finer details for the day:

Light lunch will be at 12.30pm, at 1.15pm we will receive a quick briefing from a member of staff and head out to our allocated tees for a 1.30pm shotgun start. Unfortunate, but they want us all finishing around the same time for food afterwards.
Speaking of food afterwards, post-game drinks and eats will be held at 6pm. Wines and beer etc will be available via cash bar before and after the game, so if you need some pre-game dutch courage to calm the nerves, facilities are available! :lol:

There will be a drinks cart out on course to cater for us, and each player is allocated 3 drinks (non-alcoholic) and 2 confectionery bars while playing.

Pull-carts are free for hire, and we have range balls included in our package as well, so if you wish to hit a few to warm-up you can, just be aware it'll have to be prior to 12.30, or else you'll miss out on lunch.

Any further questions please ask.

PLEASE NOTE: Royal Melbourne do not have an ATM (or I'm assuming EFTPOS behind the bar) so cash is king here.

[PeteyD]

Wow. That sounds very swisho. Clown Car travellers we are getting there early to pound range balls and look professional. BenM may have to find other transport, being a confederate scumbucket and all ;)

Do you know what tees each group is going off?

[AndyP]

What does light lunch mean? We need a decent feed before going to war, although the choccy bars will be handy.

I see that running shoes are not allowed. I was thinking of wearing mine to minimise the number of shoes to take down and avoid a colour clash. Not anymore.

Unfortunately not mate, they'll tell us on the day.

[PeteyD]

OK. Yea checking the dress codes at each location. Some allow this and not that.

[Shadesy]

Shot gun start. I've been planning on piping down the middle on one for weeks!!

[PeteyD]

Looks like the battle lines have shifted.

[Peppas]

Do I read the dress code right as golf shoes only in the clubhouse??

[Shadesy]

The clubhouse is not as snooty as one might think. Understated.

[Bruce]

Take time to explore the clubhouse. There is some cool memorabilia around the place.

Lunch will be wraps, point sandwiches, rolls, chef's selection of hot savouries, and apples to take out on course.


OK. Yea checking the dress codes at each location. Some allow this and not that.

Safest bet at all locations is:
Collared shirt
Tailored pants or shorts
Plain white socks just above the ankle if wearing shorts
Dress shoes or golf shoes for clubhouse at RM

Handicraps put in according to the leaderboard, and a guess with some of them. 8 ) turns in 8) stupid smileys

Remember to pack lots of tissues you grey southern scum.

It is going to be a long trip home for you wading in all your self pity.

We'll hear the ol' "oh we shoulda done this and we shoulda done that"

Guess I'd better give my golf shoes a clean then!

Remember, my confederate brothers, that if we win - we win together.

If we lose - scapegoats will be found.

You ready to ride with me Bruce my Brother!

As yet undecided and being negotiated.

OK gents and lady, here are the finer details for the day:

Light lunch will be at 12.30pm, at 1.15pm we will receive a quick briefing from a member of staff and head out to our allocated tees for a 1.30pm shotgun start. Unfortunate, but they want us all finishing around the same time for food afterwards.
Speaking of food afterwards, post-game drinks and eats will be held at 6pm. Wines and beer etc will be available via cash bar before and after the game, so if you need some pre-game dutch courage to calm the nerves, facilities are available! :lol:

There will be a drinks cart out on course to cater for us, and each player is allocated 3 drinks (non-alcoholic) and 2 confectionery bars while playing.

Pull-carts are free for hire, and we have range balls included in our package as well, so if you wish to hit a few to warm-up you can, just be aware it'll have to be prior to 12.30, or else you'll miss out on lunch.

Any further questions please ask.

PLEASE NOTE: Royal Melbourne do not have an ATM (or I'm assuming EFTPOS behind the bar) so cash is king here.

That's bloody awesome!

GK - Departure time from hotel is now going to be around 10:30 now assume (maybe 11, depends on my colleagues) - will you get there for your quick freshen up in time? I'd like some time at RM to explore!

[solarman]

FFS I says to the mrs....We even get a bucket of warm up range balls beforehand. She says "you should probably keep them as you may lose all of your own balls"

If anyone is going past the Hospital you can visit her in the orthopaedic ward.

No problem Benno. I should now be able to get my way into the Qantas lounge at the airport so will hopefully be all good to go from there straight to RM. Regardless of whether my plans work out or not, you guys go whenever you're ready. I've got your mobile number so Ill send you a message if doesn't look like I will get the the hotel by 10.

I'd like to get to RM with enough time to hit a few balls and have a look around too.

[simmsy]

so EXCITE!!

i will be waiting in the carpark at Andigolds at 6am if anyone is driving past to take me to RM :)

What a magnificent morning !!!!

A tad excited

[G.K]

'Tis a glorious morning indeed. Didn't get any sleep on the plane last night so will probably be well rooted by tee time this arvo. By the sounds of things, there may be a few others who are struggling after rehydrating themselves last night.

Currently driving around Melbourne, waiting for the shops to open to stock up on some balls. Then it's off to RM via the hotel. Wonder if Simmsy is waiting in the car park yet?
