EOI - FNQ golf day/get together

[mike]

Gents and lady,

It's been a while since we all got together for a game. Last one must have been PP a couple of years ago? (Jack's visit?)
Anyway the rains have gone (for the most part) and most of the courses should be in great shape.
I'm thinking some time in July? That gives plenty of notice and plenty of time to work out where and when. Most of us will have club champs in June.

Give us some ideas. Millaa is always fun and easy to get on but quite a hike for the city slickers.
Atherton I hear is looking superb.
Mareeba in very good nick. Greens are rolling beautifully.
Julie, how is Mossman?
Cairns? Just too hard to get on unless it's a Sunday?
HMB is out because everybody except me hates it.
Gordonvale is out unless Courty agrees to play there.
PP and STCC are always a safe bet except for the cost and those f***ing golf buggies.

PMs sent to Courty, Julie, haysey, Solarman, dcanto, NK, Toots, Outcast, Bushy and Tomson. (does he still play?)

Did I miss anybody?

[Courty]

Did I miss anybody?

Cookie, Chopper71, Stumac75, hippo10 :)

[Courty]

Btw, I'll play anywhere for an OZgolf day.

[mike]

Even RGV?

[Courty]

Yep

[Outcast]

I'm in, let me know the details when decided. Hell, I'll even play at HMB :)

[Tomson]

Maybe I should dust my clubs off.

[mike]

I'm in, let me know the details when decided.It's a group decision. Make a suggestion go we can rip it to pieces.

[mike]

Maybe I should dust my clubs off.Who are you?

[Outcast]

It's a group decision. Make a suggestion go we can rip it to pieces.

With the rain we keep getting here perhaps Mareeba is the go... Either that or somewhere in Perth??

[mike]

Yeah even Atherton is still a bit wet but surely by July everywhere should be dry.

[Tomson]

Who are you?

I don't even know myself ;)

[AndyP]

rowey, grumpy, donut.

What about Popper?
He is an FNQanker now!

[mike]

Holy shit. Correct.

[mike]

rowey, grumpy, donut.How could I forget rowey? Sorry rowey.

[mike]

Popper, clear your inbox.

[Courty]

He lives!!!

[Dcanto]

Yep RGV might end up being my new home track. Given the limited amount of golf I am playing at the moment I am currently asking myself if there is value in renewing my CGC membership. I would be happy to play anywhere and given enough notice I am confident that I will be able to attend.

[Tomson]

He lives!!!

Huzzah

[hippo10]

I'm interested. I don't care where we play. I haven't spent enough time up here yet to develop an extreme hatred of any one course....

[hippo10]

Also RGV??

[haysey]

Royal Gordonvale.

I'm in for wherever.

[LeftyHoges]

Why not make it for the Thursday of CoC? Blue tee day at PP!

[mike]

Yeah good idea except most of us here have jobs.

[mike]

**** Lefty that sig is big.

[LeftyHoges]

Yeah good idea except most of us here have jobs.

You also have RDO's / Annual Leave. ;)


**** Lefty that sig is big.

My plan is to make it as long as the 19 other posts on the page. :mrgreen:

[solarman]

Lefty...
Ginger, left handed, Victorian, librarian.
All you need to be now is a vegetarian and it would be a full house.

[mike]

Why not make it for the Thursday of CoC? Blue tee day at PP!Not a bad idea actually. We should do that as well.

[Courty]

Not a bad idea actually. We should do that as well.

It seemed like a good idea last year, too. 😞

[LeftyHoges]

While I'm on the path of good ideas, can we skip the 6th? Just play a decent hole twice, like 11?

[grumpy]

Royal Gordonvale. I'm in for wherever. Sounds fair im only a part timer now I have teal job

[LeftyHoges]

Sounds fair im only a part timer now I have teal job

A teal job? Is that something to do with aquatics? :lol:

I crack me up!

[mike]

[mike]

I crack me up!Don't be ridiculous. A teal job is any form of employment where there is a requirement to wear a turquoise shirt. Don't you know anything?

[LeftyHoges]

11? The hole from hell.

Driver 8 iron from memory. Cocked up the first putt from about 20 feet but made the 4 footer for par. Easy.

[Dcanto]

11? The hole from hell. I agree with Lefty. Much rather play 11 twice and bypass 6. My definition of golfing hell would be being forced to play no other hole than the 6th at PP for all eternity.

[LeftyHoges]

If we both go to hell, I'll join you there.

For the record I just picked 11 because it's an interesting hole. You could pick the other 16 and they're all still better than 6, it's just the margin that differs.

Jesus. Doesn't look good. We'll have to go play the "links" at Sea Temple then.

[solarman]

As Mike started this, he can pick (anything but HMB) and also he has a hole in his body now from a skin cancer.

So he needs to be in the shade like Lefty at all times.

[Julie]

I'm in.:D

[Courty]

:-s

[hippo10]

Don't think the Thursday before the CoC will work for me.

[solarman]

Are we good enough, now that Mike Is the Champ of Mareeba.

[Dcanto]

There may be a handicap limit put in place.

;)

[mike]

F***. Forgot all about this. Details/options soon.

[Outcast]

Now that I am working again I will have to see how it fits with my roster...

[Courty]

Talking with Solarman today, we propose the Sunday of the Cairns show day weekend (July 20th)... maybe Atherton?

[hippo10]

That's the weekend of the Mossman open. Don't know if anyone else is considering playing in it but I probably will.

[Julie]

Mossman Open sounds good to me.:D

Mossman Open sounds good to me.:DOK. How about Sunday July 27th @ Atherton?

Jeez I'm good at this.

[LeftyHoges]

OK. How about Sunday July 27th @ Atherton?

Jeez I'm good at this.

Make it 3 days later.

[mike]

Where? Blue tee @ PP?

[LeftyHoges]

Where? Blue tee @ PP?

Ok. (That's 4 days later but that'll do!) :mrgreen:

[Dcanto]

Ok. (That's 4 days later but that'll do!) :mrgreen: You just want to make mike ride in a cart. ;)

[mike]

It would be worth it just to see Lefty play #6.

[mike]

Ok folks. How does sunday 27th at Atherton sound? Also going to aim for the blue tee on the thursday because I can't do City of Cairns. Should I start another thread? ffs why is this shit so difficult?

[LeftyHoges]

You just want to make mike ride in a cart. ;)

It's a guilty pleasure of mine. ;)

Small price to pay to get you in a cart mate. :lol:

I vote everyone plays #6 together as a group so I can explain it's ridiculousness in massively graphic detail to EVERYONE.

I think we could probably do Thursdays game in the CoC thread.

[Outcast]

Sadly can't do either day as I am working... :(

Monday thread up here (http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/40732-04-08-14-Somewhere-in-FNQ-(TBD)) for anyone who's interested.

I vote everyone plays #6 together as a group so I can explain it's ridiculousness in massively graphic detail to EVERYONE. Had my first annoying PP #6 moment last weekend playing in a 2 ball Ambrose. Asked my partner who knows the course much better than me whether the hazard was reachable with a 3 wood. He assured me incorrectly that it wasn't.....

Further proof that it truly is a **** of a hole.
