Sydney OZgolf Ambrose something or other...

[KristianJ]

Thought I'd bring this idea out of the thread it originated in...

Based on Davepuppies' suggestion that the four Richmond members (him, Matty, Dangals and myself) would form a formidable Ambrose team (presumably because I'm 5 shots worse than I should be), a challenge has gone out.

A foursome of Jado, Stealth2, mrbluu and a 4th member will take the Richmond crew over a best of 3 series, venues TBA.

I think there is scope for a third group to participate if other Sydney guys want to put a team together.

Stay tuned for further developments.

[Matt 3 Jab]

i'd be in depending on venue and dates

[Grunt]

Sounds like a game made for my game.

[Steve]

Sounds like a good idea

[Anfield]

Real Ambrose? Or that silly Canadian format where one guy sits out each shot?
I'm interested either way

[Peppas]

Hokay

[liptout]

Ahhhhh, Ambrose.....

My mostest favourite of all the forms of golf......

The good golfer that lives deep, deep down inside me only ever comes out on Ambrose days........

Bring this shit on!!

[live4golf]

mmmm depends on where and when.

Gotta be the real thing...

I reckon a liptout/rqrox/Anfieldred/insert 4th here would be dangerous, BTW...hence why I think it could be worth putting something together with more than the 2 teams.

liptout/rqrox/Anfieldred/l4gWinner winner chicken dinner Awesome, 4 guys with a slight clue... Until we each get to putt!!!!!

[Steve]

Ambrose, not scramble

[mrbluu]

We'll take take grunt!!!

[Steve]

Trying to fatten the HCP Blu

[Dotty]

I'll wait for the Special Ambrose two weeks later ... Dotty, Eddie the Eagle, Forrest Gump and Zigwah.

Man, I hate that game.

You'd have some riveting conversations

[Dotty]

You'd have some riveting conversations
As opposed to the usual 'The one further up is only 180m out. One of us should be able to curve it around the trees, over the water and onto the green.'

[JADO75]

I was going to suggest it the other day but now that DavePuppies has done his ankle (hope you're better soon) how about teams of three? It shouldn't be too hard to get 2 x groups of three playing at the same time (mmm sledging) & eliminates Holden Scramble type behaviour (cheating). If we get enough players we could have a Central Coast team, South Coast, Richmond, Penrith etc.

[liptout]

I'm with Jado!! We could get about 5 different teams together, awesome.

Good thing brother.........

Let's get this shit on

[liptout]

Then we could all meet at a pub/club one night and hold a Calcutta type draw thingy.

That would be fun!! :D

[KristianJ]

Yep, sounds like a great idea. Some sort of sledging would be essential...some Baseketball style psych outs!

[JADO75]

Your sister sleeps with........Squeek! (Baseketball)

[GuyIncognito]

im in for any and all things ambrose...

[davepuppies]

I am hoping for a rapid recovery, but reckon it will be 3-6 weeks ( hopefully to play barnbougle on the 17th jan)

[Commish]

Would be keen to join in if spots are available.

[Stuartd147]

We have team ready…Virge, Stu and 7rabbits….!

[JADO75]

Virge is north, you blokes are south, what about poor Pepps?

[KristianJ]

I'll amend OP tonight in the midst of NYE celebrations (or potentially lack thereof)...

I am keen on the idea of "territorial" teams (for example, given DP's affinity wit hthe northern beaches he could team up with , say, Virge and Croydo), but if the majority rules otherwise I'll go with that.

[davepuppies]

I think it would be a shame for me to play with Northern beaches guys if it was me that suggest us 4 Richmond boys get together to take on the world........ Not that I have anything against the beaches boys!

[Peppas]

Virge is north, you blokes are south, what about poor Pepps?

It's ok mate I will play with any group that will have me :)

[live4golf]

It's ok mate I will play with any group that will have me :)

Any group?

[Peppas]

Any group?

Sure, any group from here.

[live4golf]

Sure, any group from here.

This makes me a happy Panda

[Dotty]

You're in.

I'll dump Zigwah and tell Stephen Hawking that he's still first reserve.

:)

[KristianJ]

I think it would be a shame for me to play with Northern beaches guys if it was me that suggest us 4 Richmond boys get together to take on the world........ Not that I have anything against the beaches boys! True...well, on the basis of this it will probably need to remain a 4 man ambrose, and maybe we can try a 3 man one later in the year.

[Peppas]

you're in.

I'll dump zigwah and tell stephen hawking that he's still first reserve.

:)

woohoo!!

[Dotty]

woohoo!!
Only this time you won't fail to secure the NAGA trophy.

[Peppas]

Only this time you won't fail to secure the NAGA trophy.

Oh I won't... Anfield won't be wrestling it off me next year!

[davepuppies]

Just apply the usual handicap based on number of players. Eg 4 man team 1/8th, 3 man team 1/6th

[Stuartd147]

I did not catch the "regional" idea...

[liptout]

Liptout, Anfield, RQ and Commish......

The Hills district 4some!!

Look out you other pretenders!! :x

[JADO75]

What about a two man ambrose?

[GuyIncognito]

who else is from the SW?

[Steve]

I'm from holsworthy

[Stuartd147]

Kristian….It seems the idea has some legs, can we agree on the ground rules...

a) number of players per team
b) criteria for being a team member
c) how many teams to participate
d) first venue ideas

Let's get that sorted and then the BS can start properly!!!!!!

[KristianJ]

What we might do is get the original challenge out of the way then go full tilt with the larger ambrose.

I would be happy with either 3 or 4 man teams, and for people to buddy up as they please (although I still like the regional idea).

Cap it at 6 teams and we can agree on a venue...

Im not too fussed either way, really. :)

This is a fundraiser for our trainee pro. to help with expenses to try qualify for the pro tour.

Note. Greens are scheduled to be cored three days AFTER this event.

[KristianJ]

I've committed to a round at Concord that morning...half a chance I could make a dash to Pennant Hills afterwards if the tee time at Concord is early enough but probably won't happen.

[GuyIncognito]

would love to be the fourth in the bluu/stealth/jado team, SW represent! - cant make that pennant hills day tho :(

(i assume this is scratch?)

[davepuppies]

Handicapped guy......

[GuyIncognito]

[davepuppies]

Why is that?

I've never played Pennant Hills before Dotty so I'm keen to give this a shake. 4 man ambrose? If I've got mates that want to come is that ok?

PM me with an email address, and I'll forward an entry form, which has a contact number/email for inquiries.

I asked last week, and there is no problem with multiple visitors for this event. (Normally, the club has a 'one guest per member' policy.)

[Dangals]

I too am keen as never played there either

Pm incoming

[Dotty]

Email sent.

I'll start a thread tomorrow, in case we can put a team or two of OzGolfers. (The organiser said she can put teams together, as there have been a few individuals looking for a game.)
