Late Notice - 14/1/14 - Peregian Springs 7.23am.

[Marto65]

Anyone interested, I'm having a hit here tomorrow.

They have plenty of times available, so if someone wants a game, let me know.

Marto.

[sms316]

Love to mate, but some of us have to work. Do you want to do an early morning bolt up Mt Coolum this week?

[Marto65]

I'm too fat for that.

Put me down as a maybe Thursday Morning.

[AndyP]

Any "Mystery Guests" playing this?

[Marto65]

Not yet.

It's $85. Includes cart and 6 golf balls (probably hot dots).

[sms316]

I'm too fat for that. Put me down as a maybe Thursday Morning. 6am?

[Marto65]

6am?

Can I drive up?

[sms316]

Can I drive up? I can't help but think that you aren't taking the fat bloke challenge seriously.

[Marto65]

I can't help but think that you aren't taking the fat bloke challenge seriously.

I am. But I'm on holidays.

[sms316]

You sleep in this morning Marto?

[graham_w]

He got a better offer at Nudgee

[Marto65]

Had a game of golf instead.

On the iPad.

Golf Star.

[AndyP]

$85 seemed a bit rich for that course.
Petey and I paid $45 a couple of years ago, plus $20 each for the cart.

[Marto65]

They give you six 'golf balls' too. Srixon.

Reminded me of Parkwood on the Gold Coast. Only upgraded. I enjoyed it.

[AndyP]

The balls can't have been as good as the deep fried platter we were supplied with (and I think Petey left them to me for eating).

[PeteyD]

Anyone still up the coast up for game tomorrow morning?

[sms316]

Anyone still up the coast up for game tomorrow morning?
Sorry mate. Living the dream in Gympie town.

[PeteyD]

I shouldn't laugh, really I shouldn't.

[benno_r]

I drive past Gympie course all the time when heading to play anywhere else.

Can I get a 10 word review of the course please?

[sms316]

I drive past Gympie course all the time when heading to play anywhere else.Can I get a 10 word review of the course please? Hilly and dry (I have never played the shit hole).

[benno_r]

Good review. I concur (never played it either). My next drive south is Pelican, so it looks like it will be another drive by for me.

[AndyP]

Not much talk about it here lately.

[benno_r]

8th Feb. Playing with my mate in the Saturday comp. Trying to beat my 31 or 32 pts (or whatever I got last time)

8th Feb. Playing with my mate in the Saturday comp. Trying to beat my 31 or 32 pts (or whatever I got last time) Have fun on the freshly cored greens! They get done on Mon 3/2.

[benno_r]

Hot Damn! Toughen up all those easy greens they have there!

With the fancy new slope rating in place, will it get rated harder?

[sms316]

Hot Damn! Toughen up all those easy greens they have there!With the fancy new slope rating in place, will it get rated harder? I think blue tees is about 138 and black 141. Give or take.

[benno_r]

I mean will the course get "sloped" harder for cored greens?

[graham_w]

I mean will the course get "sloped" harder for cored greens?

The DSR should take care of that.

I have a theory that the winning scores, especially in B&C grade, go beserk when the greens are cored. It hold true more often than not.

Agreed, higher handicappers handle slower greens better than faster ones. Also the sand coverage will reduce the break on the putts, so it is mostly a case of, bash it at the hole and hope for the best.
