So the greens in good nick???

[WBennett]

Everything is in good nick. But they do start the irrigation project on Monday.

This is arguably the greatest opportunity for a golfing experience this year.

The lucky 4th will get to play with two pennant players and one handicap pennant player.

Hey Peppas

The Monsta and Spud show only appears for "special" events (normally I cant stand puting up with him :wink:).
You are always welcome to make a trip, it does get a bit chilly down here, but the afternoons are pleasant if the wind is not blowing

Last weekend of May?

[Monsta]

Spud went alright around RM :)

Spud is like Mercury, ok in very small doses, but your f*#ked if you get too much...............

[Dotty]

Let me know asap Dotty. He is already cranky at me
I'm 100% available, but I didn't want to make the cranky man any crankier.

ps. Who am I kidding, only matchplay against Grunt could make TG any crankier.

So 31st May/1st of June be too much Spud?

[Monsta]

So 31st May/1st of June be too much Spud?

31st May 11:00-11:15 is too much Spud :D

[WBennett]

Probable for me - we have a fair bit on with travel and kids sport in coming months.

Pencil me in for the Saturday

[WBennett]

I will chat to the bride for the next time I can sample one of these stellar events.

Only if you bring a 7 wood.

[Peppas]

PJ ask chris if you guys can come 31st of may!

[Peppas]

Where's a good place to play on Sunday before I drive home?

[sms316]

PJ ask chris if you guys can come 31st of may! Petticoat government.

[Grunt]

I'm 100% available, but I didn't want to make the cranky man any crankier.

ps. Who am I kidding, only matchplay against Grunt could make TG any crankier.
Is TG back playing? I think we need another matchplay for sure then. Golf is fun with TG!

[WBennett]

Where's a good place to play on Sunday before I drive home? Where does your sister live? Yowani is on the road out of town and in good nick

[Peppas]

Where does your sister live? Yowani is on the road out of town and in good nick

Near the petroleum station on the way out of town?

[WBennett]

Yowani is the corner of Federal and Barton Highways. Used to be a top 100 track.

[sms316]

So who is our fourth?

[Dotty]

So who is our fourth?
Moi.

[sms316]

Moi. Sweet. Much better than that other prick.

[Buzz]

I'll have to try and get out and have a round with you Canberra guys sometime. Really difficult to get away from work midweek for me though. Welcome to come play at Belconnen sometime if you want to lower your standards :p

[WBennett]

Buzz

I'll play anywhere, I don't care. My only issue is I have to do it after kids sport on Saturdays, so I am restricted to Saturdays after 11:30.

This is my first midweek round in a couple of years - maybe longer!

[Buzz]

Same for me now, my daughter's soccer is 1230 Sat, but I only have her every second week.

I might see if I can find a comp slot in June sometime and see if there is enough interest then.

[sms316]

I should be there around 11.30 or so for a warm up schooner and sandwich.

[WBennett]

I will be trying to leave work by then....

[Buzz]

Hope you guys have a nice day for it ... Bloody cold start to May.

[sms316]

Hope you guys have a nice day for it ... Bloody cold start to May. No shit!

[Monsta]

I should be there around 11.30 or so for a warm up schooner and sandwich.

I might get there early as well, cant have you drinking by yourself :mrgreen:

[sms316]

Do they schnit at Gungahlin?

[mrbluu]

Do they schnit at Gungahlin?

Yep, that and the Kosciuszko Pale Ale are probably about the best things at GL......

[sms316]

Yep, that and the Kosciuszko Pale Ale are probably about the best things at GL...... That's right. You're not much of a wrap, are you?

[mrbluu]

That's right. You're not much of a wrap, are you?

Nope, too many long par 3's and the conditions of the greens didn't help. It was a little disappointing as I remembered I really liked with I first played it 8 or 9 years ago.

[Monsta]

Yep, that and the Kosciuszko Pale Ale are probably about the best things at GL......

[WBennett]

You did get the course at the worst it has been in my entire membership of ten years, the week after the watering system broke and we had an unprecedented week of 40+ degree days.

It didn't give a great first impression. Right now, its just held National amateur titles, and is looking 90% brilliant - there are still patches that have not come back from the December disaster, but will recover by next spring once the new irrigation system is installed.

FWIW, we are playing 1-18 without any holes out of play tomorrow. From what I heard, digging is due to start on Thursday.

[sms316]

Digging will start when Monsta uses his wedges.

[WBennett]

Shanking will start when Monsta uses his wedges.

FTFY

[Monsta]

Digging will start when Monsta uses his wedges.

Have you not seen that Spud takes a divot with his driver ????

There was a sign in Spud's street advertising the sale of Earth Moving equipment, I thought he had finally decided to take up lawnbowls.

[WBennett]

Just a heads up.

I will need to pick the kids up from after school care tomoz so I wont be able to stay for hours afterwards.

The bride is working back so I have Dad duties again.

[Peppas]

Whats this digging?

[Buzz]

Must admit I always did think the par threes are too long at Gungahlin Lakes, other than that it's a top track.

[WBennett]

They play roughly 180, 160, 180 and 125.

This is balanced with 5 par 4's under 330.

[Buzz]

Gee 17 is shorter than I remember then! Has it always been that length?

[sms316]

Gee 17 is shorter than I remember then! Has it always been that length? I think it used to be about 160m. The tee used to be well right so you played the hole up the spine of a long skinny green. Now you play it perpendicularly.

[WBennett]

It used to play 170 from the back into a 1-2 club wind. The members tee is down next to the lake now, so you have 118 carry to the front edge and 130 carry to the back left pin.

[Buzz]

I like it. Enjoy courses with a variety of par 3 challenges :)

Sun is shining, hope you have an enjoyable round fellas.

[WBennett]

She's a perfect day. Worth getting into work before sunrise!

[sms316]

Eta now 11.50. Got stuck in Fyshwick.

[MegaWatty]

Stuck=sticky?

[sms316]

Ran out of baby oil

[sms316]

SMS 74
Spud 77
Dotty 78
Monsta 84 (including 4 putt).

[Buzz]

Gross or Nett?

[WBennett]

All nett. SMS had 75/74, I had 85/77 with a delightful collection of doubles and triples thrown in, Dotty 91/78 and Monsta 92/84.

Perfect conditions and the course was in the best nick I remember seeing it.

Thanks boys for a whole lot of fun. Hope you all made it home safe and sound.

[Monsta]

Spud 77

Great day in the Nation's Capital, turned on perfect weather.
Thanks to Dotty and the other guy for the game (oh and you too Spud)
Results came out today for the Fireball and SMS accuses me of 4 putts, something about sour grapes or sore loser comes to mind….. but I beat last years winner so I don't care how many putts he can't count properly…...

[WBennett]

I ended up bloody sunburned!

[Dotty]

I ended up bloody sunburned!
That was from your trousers.

Thanks for the game, and a lot tougher off the blues.

[WBennett]

I trust you are home. Glad to hear
