Gailes GC, Sunday Feb 26, 12:24-12:36p

[AndyP]

I'm having a week off golf this weekend, so I'll need a round the weekend after.

I like playing Gailes, as it is always a challenge for me, and the open comp is cheap ($16.50 last time).

According to their online fixture, the format is stableford.

Who would like to play?

1. AndyP

2. BrisVegas (can't confirm just yet, as I may be baby-sitting).

[BrisVegas]

...assuming you mark my card again Andy!

[AndyP]

...assuming you mark my card again Andy!Get over it!

If I get a full group of maybes, then I'll book. There isn't usually much trouble getting slots at Gailes on Sunday.

[Moe Norman]

i'll go down as a tentative but if you fill the spot count me out.

The mrs has put her foot down lately, but hopefully I can sort it out!

[BrisVegas]

I want to, but it's just too funny. I'll bring the calculator and carbon sheets. We can do this.

amanda is good with numbers. We could SMS the scores to her before signing.

[AndyP]

Gee, I'm popular....

It's great to see we can still pull the numbers together for a local round.
But what's the secret? The right price? A course that people like? Locality? A couple of weeks notice? Pot Luck?
Who cares?

ThomMoe, is Gailes west or south of the CBD?

[Moe Norman]

i'll go with West sir.

[AndyP]

i'll go with West sir.
How did you work that out? Compass/protractor, map, gut feel, BCC website or guess?

[Moe Norman]

i looked at the sun

Here we bloody go again......

Now that it looks like we will definitely have two groups, I will make a booking.

[azza]

AndyP,

If the 8th spot is not taken, count me in. Thanks.

[AndyP]

No probs, azza.

I have sent a PM to senecio to see if he has sorted anything with A-Lo for matchplay. If he is in, there's no reason why we can't have three groups, maybe the _RSs will be interested too.

All of the planets must have been aligned or something.

[BrisVegas]

this will be an honour board event before you know it P.

[Choppa]

As long as I am not playing in the same group as those last two amateurs

[BrisVegas]

OK, AndyP, I got another for ya... My neighbour Cameron from across the road. Never played with him before, so looking forward to seeing how he plays. Please bung Cameron in with me, Ken and Troy, seeing as choppa doesn't want to play with us.

I thought Choppa was joking.

And what's this working out the groups for the organiser business?

I was, but I can't stand that Vegas fella anyway so it's all good

What sorta timne are you looking at..... I have bben given the day off work and am considering it...

Cheers

[BrisVegas]

And what's this working out the groups for the organiser business?

It's nothing new mate. Thommo requested his group for the Wynnum Day and you've done it the past to get a game with your mates. I'm simply doing the same. It's the first and last chance I'll get to play with my neighbour and Troy and Ken were wanting to play together. The rest of the groups are yours to do as you please, I don't care who plays with who outside my group.

If you'd rather not book my group as is, please let me know and I'll make my arrangements.

[AndyP]

What sorta timne are you looking at..... I have bben given the day off work and am considering it...
See thread heading.
The comps run from about 11am onwards, I think, but the later the tee time the better, as it will leave the morning to spend at home.

I'll probably ring the club tomorrow to book some groups.

BV, you know I'm kidding, right?
The groups as they are, are pretty close to my 'draft' anyway.

[Keza_G]

AP...

Please add Scott and I to play in this.... we will be arranging a baby sitter this week..... I may book a cart as I am a slacka$$ (I will arrange this myself after you let me know the time slots unless you are willing to do it for me).

Cheers

[Choppa]

Ok, this is going to be Macca and my matchplay.....do we need to do anything specific with regards to sending a PM?

[BrisVegas]

cool. Good luck to both of you. As long as you both agree to play it, then just get it on! If you're all square after 18, then you can have your rematch at North Lakes.

[nudgee]

So do we know what time yet. I can only make it if it is after 12:00 - say like closer to 1:00pm

[AndyP]

Ok, this is going to be Macca and my matchplay....
Brave man. Not sure I would take Macca on, on his old stomping ground.

[Jarro]

Brave man. Not sure I would take Macca on, on his old stomping ground.

Put Pete and me in too please...... and can i request to play with Scotty and Keza G...? Thanks AP

[Jarro]

i don't think you 4 should be put into the same group.

It'd be one big party ;)

[shazza_rs]

and your point? ;)

nah i promise I will behave....... maybe.....

[Moe Norman]

I'm out - putting up a new shed in the backyard :o

[Webster]

How come Andylo gets to play in a cart?

69'er, what are you on about?

[andylo]

How come Andylo gets to play in a cart?

69'er, what are you on about?

Because I can :)

[Webster]

Jack,
Just the age old problem of pullouts after the draw is posted...with a definite pattern forming.

As for the cart option..I think we should seriously consider the medical certificate rule. As Ian healy once said to Ranatunga....you can't get a runner just beacuae you're a fat overweight **** !


Are you trying to suggest moe has an issue with AndyP, or is one of the other guys?

Andylo - c'mon mate, you dont need a cart if no-one else does. Or is it a Tour Cart, and you just cant help yourself?

[andylo]

Hey its a avaliable option on the course and I decided to pay extra to take advantage of it.

[Webster]

Hey its a avaliable option on the course and I decided to pay extra to take advantage of it.

Unless you are a cripple you should walk Andylo (if you are a cripple i do apologise) - people will lose respect for you if you ride in a cart like some old wanker.

[andylo]

The "ladies room" is the second door on the left Lowey.

DOES mean to offence :D :D :D Like you never riding cart golfing? :D :D

[Webster]

DOES mean to offence :D :D :D Like you never riding cart golfing? :D :D

Andy, can you re-work this sentence please - I have no idea what you are talking about.

[andylo]

Unless you are a cripple you should walk Andylo (if you are a cripple i do apologise) - people will lose respect for you if you ride in a cart like some old wanker.

As I said I actually taking Christine as my caddy (for reading green purpose only) and she's not really good at walking long distance as most girls from HK does.

If I just come by myself I probably won't use cart (because they are expensive) but I really need someone help me to read the green to win this thing and I really want to win it.

[andylo]

Andy, can you re-work this sentence please - I have no idea what you are talking about.

The lad will understand, dont' worry :D

[andylo]

Actually in general I am walking the course, while Christine driving the thing with bag hanged at the back because I need to keep my rymthm.

[peter_rs]

Ok guys look at the last group there are two carts there.

[amanda]

Ok so let me get this straight...Christine is gifted in the sense that she's a new golfer but reads green slopes better than you...but she can't walk goodly ?
She may not have the stamina for a 5km walk - ask any non-golfing non-outdoorsy female to walk 5km and they'd ask if you had rocks in your head!

[Webster]

Ok guys look at the last group there are two carts there.
Do they have two Chinese green readers in them as well?

[Webster]

I agree Mandy...Andy must be hung like a rogue elephant to keep her in tow.
I've heard those rumours too....

[Webster]

you wouldnt have to be John Holmes to stand out from the crowd over there...

[Jarro]

cool.

when are we going.

[andylo]

ROFL!!!

Hmm... yeee.... whatever! :D

(try to explain something but decided to let the couple enjoy)

[Webster]

I hear Olazabal has requested to be "paired" with JB whenever possible, including golf.

[Jarro]

bet "dresses" wouldn't mind a bit of Holmes action either

[andylo]

Cmon guys...keep it on topic....that has nothing to do with Loweys cart usage or slow play.

But isn't the real topic is sign up for the game?

[Webster]

i wanna know why Moe pulled out

[AndyP]

Are you really putting up a shed or does that etiquitte thread need to be revisited ?
I wondered if he was building a shed or "building a shed".
However, as the organiser I would have expected a PM, if he was "building a shed".

[AndyP]

but I really need someone help me to read the green to win this thing and I really want to win it.
If that's why you are playing then you needn't bother. Who cares about a p!ssy little stableford?

[Webster]

Andylo,

How come you want the missus to tag along to golf anyway? If it were just the two of you sneaking off for a few quiet holes and a chance for a bit of sly horizontal barn-dancing when no one is around I could understand, but hey this is an Ozgolf day. Shouldnt she be at home cooking you a nice dinner for when you get home with a belly full of pi$$?

[AndyP]

Ok guys look at the last group there are two carts there.
There's only 1 cart in the last group, unless this is your way of telling me.

[BrisVegas]

I wondered if he was building a shed or "building a shed".
However, as the organiser I would have expected a PM, if he was "building a shed".

AndyP - can you make that a sticky please? ie. If I'm not happy with my grouping in future, I will simply say that I am "building a shed" and pull out. :smt002 I got plenty of room on my block for a shed, so there is potential for more than one shed... :mrgreen:

[Eag's]

Andylo, you know you are asking for trouble when you thumb your nose at people asking legitimate questions about your constant need for a cart [-X
Saying you require one because your girlfriend may get tired is bloody weak to say the least :???:

If she is going to take this game up as a sport then she will have to learn to go the distance on foot. If you need her to read putts because she is better at it than you, then I think you know what area of your game needs urgent attention.

[Webster]

Andylo,

If she is going to take this game up as a sport then she will have to learn to go the distance on foot. If you need her to read putts because she is better at it than you, then I think you know what area of your game needs urgent attention.
Andylo, turn a negative into a positive - if you tire her out by making her walk 18 holes, she will be so exhausted later on that she will let you do anything to her...

[AndyP]

Is "building a shed" anything like pitching a tent?

[andylo]

If that's why you are playing then you needn't bother. Who cares about a p!ssy little stableford?

Wait.. hang-on... isn't Macleod cup a stroke play game?


Andylo, you know you are asking for trouble when you thumb your nose at people asking legitimate questions about your constant need for a cart [-X

Yeah just stirring things up a bit :D Work sucks you know :D :D :D



If she is going to take this game up as a sport then she will have to learn to go the distance on foot. If you need her to read putts because she is better at it than you, then I think you know what area of your game needs urgent attention.

Fully agree with you... but it will be a long process. She won't have the stamina over night, and I still too busy on my bloddy perfect swing so have to work on something in the middle that can work for both.

[andylo]

Andylo, turn a negative into a positive - if you tire her out by making her walk 18 holes, she will be so exhausted later on that she will let you do anything to her...

Or she will dehydrate and die and I can do even more to the corspe

[Webster]

Is "building a shed" anything like pitching a tent?


No.

However, I heard a whisper that Tiger Woods pulled out of the LA Open not because he had the flu, but because Elin put her foot down and insisted he remain at home on the weekend "building a shed".

Good enough for me.

[andylo]

Are they playing the McLeod cup at Gailes this year ?


AH ***!! I confused!!! What I am thinking... bloody work!! SUCKS SUCKS!

[Webster]

Or she will dehydrate and die and I can do even more to the corspe
Make sure you get her while she's still warm Andylo...

[andylo]

Make sure you get her while she's still warm Andylo...

Put in the fridge "after use" and heat it up again?

[Fishman Dan]

If that's why you are playing then you needn't bother. Who cares about a p!ssy little stableford?

Since when did A-Lo learn to score Stableford?

[peter_rs]

Ap if you want to book the carts then add another to the last group. Keza was going to handle the booking for the last group once we were told tee times.

[AndyP]

The groups are booked. We are all off the 10th tee, so I could get the tee times as late as possible.

Only two carts available, so I've booked those for the last group.

Nudgee, I forgot about you wanting as close to 1p as possible. Although I won't call back the club to change the groups, I'm sure we can organise changing the groups around between us, if necessary.

[andylo]

AP: so you put me into another group then discard my cart request.....

Fine by then.....

[AndyP]

AP: so you put me into another group then discard my cart request.....

Sucker.....that was too easy.

You really need to learn to read closer too.

[andylo]

Damn it are you serious or not?

[andylo]

yeah you modified the thread afterward

[AndyP]

Just called the club to find out the cost.
Open comp on Sunday now appears to be upto $18.

[Keza_G]

AP...

Cart Cost Please....?

And thank you for booking the cart....

Cheers

Keza

[Jarro]

walk it Keza ;)

[Keza_G]

Bugger that.... It's me Birfdy and I aint gonna walk cause if I'm tired when I get home the kids will run a muck and I'll crack a hole in their collected heads... i dunt wanna do it.....

Besides... it's my special day and I'll cry if I want to.....

Cheers

Keza

[AndyP]

And thank you for booking the cart....
Didn't ask. I'm not into this whole carting trend.

Although their website says $30 and appears to be up to date.

It's cool, our 3-some should be OK following up the pack if need be.

i wanna play with nudgee during my matchplay! :D

[nudgee]

Sorry guys but I have to fly over to Dubai tomorrow night to make a presentation for a project in Abu Dhabi so I have to pull outta this one. Was really keen to see Macca in matchplay action and also to put my new goodies into play.

That is quite possible...... but then again , I'm trying to be a golfer now so maybe not...

[Moe Norman]

I wondered if he was building a shed or "building a shed".
However, as the organiser I would have expected a PM, if he was "building a shed".I'm really building a shed well putting one up that came in a box. The other one got destroyed in a storm a few months back and the mrs put her foot down and said I need to put the one I bought (two days after the old one blew over) up.

As I'd never played with AndyLo I was going to give him a chance. Now the groups have changed and I'm with AndyP. Macca and Choppa I'm still out - which just goes to show I really am building a shed!

I can see why you thought I was "building a shed" though ;)

[BrisWesty]

Now that Moe is a no go, may I be so bold as to request admission to play on Sunday?
I won't stop Macca playing this time!

I'll give Ken the option of pulling out (I'm sure he's not keen to play in a 2 with his landlord!). Perhaps I can just slot in with the group of 3 (Macca, choppa, Westy) if those guys don't mind???

Yeah come join us Vegas. You can translate for me!

[BrisVegas]

p'shaw my good fellowe, i shall share some excellent sack with you in a post prandial manner thence.

near Oxley, we went in and drank a pint of wine, where we were very merry at our Jole of Ling, and from thence after a great and good dinner Mr. Falconberge would go drink a cup of ale at a place where I had like to have shot at a scholar that lay over the house of office.

and so parted; and thence home, where I found my wife and maid a-washing.

and thence to my office, where nothing to do...and thence to bed.

So what want to have my children....???? It's 8:53pm.....??? Yes I accept that 5 hole start on Sunday thanks! :mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

Open up another thread at ISG, there is quite a few qlders looking for a game of golf - cant hurt.

[BrisVegas]

At last, someone who can understand Macca. :shock: :-s

Looking forward to the banter on Sunday. :?

[AndyP]

Open up another thread at ISG, there is quite a few qlders looking for a game of golf - cant hurt.
No.

[markTHEblake]

No.

whats wrong with that?

there is at least 3 people who are not nobheads that have asked to let them know when a local game is on.

the only one to avoid is that thommo fella.

[BrisVegas]

blakey - I can't get onto ISG. Perhaps you could let them know about the day. The more the merrier I say.

[Moe Norman]

why not vegas?

surely you're not banned?!?!

[markTHEblake]

blakey - I can't get onto ISG. Perhaps you could let them know about the day. The more the merrier I say.

better for someone who is playing to organise that, otherwise it might look like too much like promoting another forum.

[AndyP]

I couldn't be bothered organising a round across two forums.
Doesn't feel right to me anyway.

[macleod]

yeah stuff em, they should come over here and check ;)

[Keza_G]

What or who is ISG ?

As long as this ISG doesn't rain on my parade.... and they all know I drink JD's THE MORE THE MERRIER..... :D :D

At least you've got all your scores under 90. With all the rounds I've played there, I still had to go back to 2002 to find one for me. I've always said that this course has got me.

BTW Keza, I booked the three carts in your name.
I guess I'll need to amend the bookings today too.

[Keza_G]

Thanks AP....

We'll be there around 11.30 ish.....

Sweeto..

Cheers

Keza

[AndyP]

Just rang Gailes to change the booking. Instead of changing all the names about, I've just cancelled the first group. So when you go to pay your green fees, you'll find that your name may not be down. It was the easiest thing to do over the phone, and the club had no problem with that (hopefully the pro on Sunday doesn't either).

We'll play the groups as follows. Let's see if our group can keep up with SpeedyVegas.

Group 1 - 12:24p
BrisVegas
Macleod
Choppa
BrisWesty

Group 2 - 12:30p (1 cart)
AndyLo
AndyP
Eag's
Azza

Group 3 - 12:36p (2 carts)
KezaG
ScottyG
Shazza_rs
Peter_rs

See y'all Sunday. Looking forward to it.

[BrisVegas]

jeez andyP, I wouldn't have slagged off Andylo if I had known you were gonna put me out in front of him on Sunday.... sheesh. Better put the running shoes on boys!

One positive though.... I should be out of range for ScottyG & Pete.

[shazza_rs]

jeez andyP, I wouldn't have slagged off Andylo if I had known you were gonna put me out in front of him on Sunday.... sheesh. Better put the running shoes on boys!

One positive though.... I should be out of range for ScottyG & Pete.

I'd be more worried bout Keza if i was you... least she hits the fairways. ;)

[BrisVegas]

I'd be more worried bout Keza if i was you... least she hits the fairways. ;)

Keza's a golfer now. :) I'm not as worried about playing in front of her anymore...

[andylo]

jeez andyP, I wouldn't have slagged off Andylo if I had known you were gonna put me out in front of him on Sunday.... sheesh. Better put the running shoes on boys!

One positive though.... I should be out of range for ScottyG & Pete.

Just stay on the fairway and you will be ok :lol:

[macleod]

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE!!!!

[shazza_rs]

doesn't means shes short..... ;)

[peter_rs]

BV your in range alot of holes run side by side :)

Keza->She has nothing... Look out for shazza who hits her 5 wood past her crap r7 and 2 wood past scotty.... oh thats right she didn't buy the 2 wood:). If I could only get scotty a good driver we could have fun;).

Now just to get shazza ****ed sat night and I get a easy match play win.

[AndyP]

So is the matchplay definitely on Sunday?

[peter_rs]

You will know sunday.

Got to see how sat night goes and if I can get a game in on sat.

[AndyP]

Just set a date and do it. Stop farting around.

[macleod]

So is the matchplay definitely on Sunday?

[Moe Norman]

85,85,78,78,84,87,80,75... 68, with that new ping in the bag!

[Choppa]

Damn straight. Have a big night on Saturday Macca.....real BIG :-&

[peter_rs]

Just set a date and do it. Stop farting around.

Well don't give 2 people that live together 3 months to arange a match.;)

[macleod]

Damn straight. Have a big night on Saturday Macca.....real BIG :-&

nah, i don't drink to excess at venues that only have crap beer, far better ways to enjoy one's self whilst watching live music ;) mmmmmmmmm...bulbs...

[macleod]

cool, so sunday it is for the other matchplay, that was easy andy! ;)

[AndyP]

Eag's, how about a little matchplay between us on Sunday?
We are both off 12, so it's nice and simple with no shots given. You up for it?

[macleod]

I can't brag now but I've had the trots all day.

No excuses though, I'm on Immodium so LET:S GET IT....oops, must dash :lol:

[Eag's]

Eag's, how about a little matchplay between us on Sunday?

Yeah mate, why not :smt002

[macleod]

money down on eags $5 for the win.

[AndyP]

money down on eags $5 for the win.
Ooooo, incentive.

[markTHEblake]

i reckon their both hopeless, I'll back a draw.

[Moe Norman]

they're

[Jarro]

Eag's will win with his far superior putting stroke

[Eag's]

i reckon their both hopeless, I'll back a draw.

Nobody asked you Mr Bean :smt075

[AndyP]

Let's not take the focus away from the real matchplay on today.

But I must say that I have superior knowledge of the trees at Gailes....

[macleod]

Let's not take the focus away from the real matchplay on today.

But I must say that I have superior knowledge of the trees at Gailes....

mmm, im bring at least 3 similarly lofted clubs for punch shots :lol:

i'm sure dr bob would say that's some negative preparatory thinking but ;)

[AndyP]

Small patch of rain in the area at the moment, but besides that it looks okay.

Unfortunately for me, I just put weedkiller out on the paving, so I'm hoping for no rain at all.

[macleod]

mmmm, rainy....hmmmm.

if she doesn't abate I'm not going to come along, sorry guys.

snuggling weather! :D

[AndyP]

Oh well, weedkilling is wasted, but the golf won't be....

Hopefully the rain should be gone in 15 minutes or so, with not much after.

[Fishman Dan]

So? Did he behave and keep up?

[AndyP]

Another fantabulous OZgolf day is over. Thank you to all who turned up. And thank you to my playing partners who made it an enjoyable round.

Here are today's stableford results, which are of a higher standard than usual for an OZgolf day.

1. Peter_rs 40
2. Choppa 37
2. Eag's 37
2. BrisVegas 37
5. AndyP 35
5. Shazza_rs 35
7. Keza_G 34
8. Scotty_G 33
8. BrisWesty 33
10. Azza 31
11. Andylo 29
12. Macleod 23

As I mentioned afterwards, how often does 33 points finish 8th in an OZgolf day.

I won't comment on the official matchplay that was on the day, I'll leave that to the participants.

In an unofficial matchplay between myself and Eag's, I was destroyed 5 and 4, which looking at the scores above seems a little harsh.
Eag's made some great putts and up and downs at the right times, and I failed to.

[Keza_G]

Thanks to AP for organising today... Gailes was a real treat... Thanks to Shaz, Pete and Scotty for the good company as always and the entertainment value....
After partying a little more than I expected myself to last night and hitting the hay at 4am, I didn't expect much.... It took 6 holes for the DT's to go away.... really happy with 34pts...
Congrats to the winners today and commiserations to the others.

Cheers

Keza

[Eag's]

Thanks again for a top day one and all :smt023
To my playing partners AndyP, Azza & Andylo, I enjoyed your company.
It was great to meet another couple of Oz golfers, Azza & Briswesty hope to see you guys at few more golf days :smt002

Andylo, big effort today mate :) keep that kind of speed up and nobody will have any further issues with you regarding slow play.
Well played today Pete, handicap is coming down nicely ;)
Thanks to Andy for organising the day once again. I got you today only because of the short stick mate, the rest was fairly messy.

[AndyP]

It took 6 holes for the DT's to go away.
What's this? D!cktogs?

[Keza_G]

Delerium Tremors.... Peter hickey shakes.... Alcohol induced uncontrollable tremors and perhaps just a little lack of sleep....

[BrisVegas]

Thanks guys, it was a good day. Nice to have a round with Mark(Bris)Westy for the first time. Very consistent player , once you got it going. Poor Macca came up against a tough opponent today in choppa. He was striking the ball beautifully and probably should have gone several better than he did.

I feel a little "empty" after today's game as I left a heap out there. First time I've played on slow greens with the new putter and really struggled to get it to the hole. Had several lip outs and a 180. Wasn't really anything at stake today, so I kinda lost interest.

Can't wait for the next big outing at North Lakes. Big, fast greens!

[shazza_rs]

Congrats to pete... he really did play very consistently today.... except for maybe the 18th where he was playing approaches from the practice fairway. :)

Thanks to scotty, keza and pete for the round. Had a reasonable day. Had fun with the new driver (?).... ;) Sand play was woeful.... or should i say dirt play.

35 points.... 19 and 16....faded a little towards the end. Had a stupid song stuck in my head for most, okay all of the round.

Enjoyable day... hope you had a good bday keza.

As I keep telling myself.... one of these days I will NOT drink (too much) the night before a sunday round. ;)

[AndyP]

Had a stupid song stuck in my head for most, okay all of the round. I remember hearing somewhere that this is a good thing. Takes your mind of swing mechanics, and you just hit the damn thing.

BTW it was great to play with Azza for the first time. Found out that we actually went to the same classes at Uni. Small world.

[BrisVegas]

sh!t I almost forgot! Well played Peter! Great score. 8)

[azza]

Well played today Pete.

Thanks to Eags's, AndyP and Andylo for the good company and help looking for my pills in the scrub. No dramas with Andylo's slow play today. I think I need longer legs to keep up next time. Tour issue issue ones would be nice..

[AndyP]

money down on eags $5 for the win.
What was your return?

[Moe Norman]

sounds like the golf was better than my shed building.

i managed to sneak out for a game at indro in the morning though, so it wasn't all bad.

[BrisWesty]

Thanks for organising today Andy
Thanks BrisVegas, Macleod and Choppa for helping find my errant balls. It was a pleasure going round with you all for the first time.
33 points (including 4 washes). Dear oh dear.
On the bright side - 9 pars on a course I've never played before. Shame about the 6 double bogeys or worse!
Despite only 32 putts (putted out on the washes too) the greens were in pretty poor condition, but I liked their subtleties, they certainly caused misreads several times.
Macleod didn't have a very good game back, and Choppa was playing very well. Choppa vs BrisVegas would have been a clash of the titans worth watching today. Both hitting it way long out there, but nothing really dropped with the putter for any us today.

So Shazza, at risk of causing us all mental scarring, what was the song?
And ALo, considering you were carrying 27 pages of "speed up" on your back, excellent effort.

Onwards to North Lakes.

[Moe Norman]

i used up my one good round for this 3 month period so I'm not looking forward to North Lakes.

[Keza_G]

BrisWesty... it was that damn whistling song..... "love generation" or something like that...
Hope I am able to get out for another Ozgolf day soon guys...

Cheers

Keza

[peter_rs]

Thanks guys.

Thanks to AP for the day... if only he warned us that the greens had been cored two weeks ago.:)

So 40 points with 4 washes... what could have been. With a CCR of 70 I wont even lose a shot. I was -1 under the stick after 5 holes. for 23 points (2 washes) after that it was down hill. including being 2 fairways over after the driver slipped due to the rain.

[AndyP]

Thanks to AP for the day... if only he warned us that the greens had been cored two weeks ago.:)
I like the course, but gee those greens are disappointing. They are in pretty shabby condition, grass length aside.

[BrisVegas]

So 40 points with 4 washes... what could have been.

Crikey Pete, one of these days it's all gonna click and you'll have 50 points in a single stab!!! :shock:

[Jarro]

Crikey Pete, one of these days it's all gonna click and you'll have 50 points in a single stab!!! :shock:

then he'll start playing off a more realistic handicap ;)

[AndyP]

GAILES: 4BBB Stab: B Sutton (21), H Shin (14) 46. Open Sgle: T Fallis (25) 44. NTP: 3 A Chong, (ladies) S Ralph, 12 D McGraw. BRD 45/40. CCR 71.
Congrats to our OZgolf prize winners from yesterday.
Both Azza and Shazza (lol) taking the pin on the 3rd for their respective sexes.
Pete just scraped in for a ball in the rundown too.

[macleod]

spirit was willing at first but the flesh, driving, irons, wedges and putting were weak, feeding nicely into the spirit and dreams of my saltdough encased lamb i was preparing that night :D

tried my best but all for naught, congrats to Choppa for dismantling me par excellence.

methinks i still need more time off and shall dutifully do that after waking up in agony this morning...shoulda had a sick day today!

[Moe Norman]

some burgulars at Gailes if 40 scrapes in for a ball.

[peter_rs]

BV I have had 50 points in a stab event when I was off 27. :)

Jarro. You and I both wish I had a lower hcp.

I guess those 4 wipes cost me ;)

Moe in a sunday comp you have to get 39 points to play to hcp so 40 is not that good

[peter_rs]

Golf link updated new hcp 19.9 lost 0.4.

[AndyP]

Yay, Gailes actually processed the cards.

Looks like the CCR of 71 as stated in the paper is wrong.

I'm back to playing off 13 now.

[Eag's]

They missed mine :roll:
Must of put my new number down incorrectly.

[AndyP]

They may go in yet, I noticed that Keza's isn't in yet either.

[peter_rs]

Do the guys that don't have a card in yet use a golflink card and swipe it, or hand write the details?

[AndyP]

Did anyone swipe their golflink card? I didn't.

[Moe Norman]

i've never even had a golf link card. Always just whack the # on the card.

I've only ever had one card missed and that was by Royal Melbourne, slackers.

[AndyP]

I've only ever had one card missed and that was by Royal Melbourne, slackers.
I'll remember to stay away from that course, if I'm ever offered a round there............

[Moe Norman]

just stay away from 7 & 8 on the East course, you can play the same holes at 13th beach!

[peter_rs]

Shazza and I did.

[AndyP]

Keza, any chance the swing videos from the day will be posted?
