Can I tag along with anyone this weekend please?

[coalesce]

My usual playing group have organised to play right in the middle of the England soccer game on Sunday morning, and as I've said elsewhere, this kind of disappointment only comes around once every 4 years so I don't want to miss it (or record it and watch it later).

Bit of a long shot, but are there any SA OzGolfers who are teeing off after 10am on either Sun or Sat (I don't want to miss the Aus v Chile game either) that wouldn't mind me tagging along with them please?

But watching England in a World Cup is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO painful :( (yep, I'm English and just waiting for their first penalty shoot-out, if they even make it that far as recent results have been fairly crap!)

And sorry, we tee off at 7 something in the morning.

I forgot about World Cup tomorrow morn. Have changed from Sat morning to Sunday morning 10am Mt Compass welcome to come along with me.

Yes please :) Teeing off them means I'll only miss the last few minutes of the football - and nothing at all if I can find it on the radio!

[highballin]

Ok done deal

Doesn't matter weather wise, you're gonna get wet AGAIN whichever day you play ;-)

It'll be just like being back in the UK...

[nadg63]

It'll be just like being back in the UK...

Whereabouts!? I'm Norwich/Norfolk.

[coalesce]

Whereabouts!? I'm Norwich/Norfolk.

I used to live near the delightful idyllic new town of Hemel Hempstead

[nadg63]

So how did things go at Mt Compass? Rain? As I was leaving The Vines it hammered it down, perfect timing :-)

[highballin]

Was good no rain. You could have come along only two of us hooked up with another two after the tenth as couple of slow groups in front.

[drobbo]

Who were the two you caught? Had a few mates playing down there today.
Cheers

Sam & Danny don't know last names.

[drobbo]

Na, not them. Was spewing I couldn't get down there for a hit.

[coalesce]

Me again.

With the showdown meaning I can't play this Sunday (come on the Crows!), is anyone braving the weather to play on Saturday that has a gap I could squeeze in please?

[highballin]

Can't help this week on a plane to Singapore tomorrow.:D

[coalesce]

Have a great time! Enjoy Loch Palm!

[nadg63]

Like you we only play Sundays, although having just looked at the forecast that may not be happening ............................ :(

[coalesce]

Yeah I don't like playing in the rain but the thought of not playing at all is worse

[nadg63]

Can't help this week on a plane to Singapore tomorrow.:D

Enjoy your trip :-)

[nadg63]

Yeah I don't like playing in the rain but the thought of not playing at all is worse

So did you manage to get a game!? With the weather we have had today I think missing out would be the go! (so much so that I have cancelled for tomorrow - if I wanted to play golf in the wind/rain I'd still live in the UK ;) )

[coalesce]

Nope weekend off. Way too cold and windy!

Not sure if I'm looking forward to the showdown in the cold/rain tomorrow either. Particularly as the crows will lose.

Hopefully sanity prevails and the sun comes out next week!

[nadg63]

Showdown - why would you ...................................... ?????????????????????? Stupid game.

Soft :D

Again Soft :razz:

[nadg63]

So where was the gale force winds and torrential rain today ....................................... !? :?

I know HM - soft! :wink:

[coalesce]

I think they are meant to now be rolling in just as I get in my seat at the oval...

[coalesce]

Showdown - why would you ...................................... ?????????????????????? Stupid game.

Girlfriend & her family love it. I've tagged along and its not too bad.

But I haven't had to put up with a game in the rain yet...

[coalesce]

I've just found out I can sneak a round in on Saturday morning. Does anyone want to play or has a space for me to fit in please?

[coalesce]

Me again. Anyone playing on sat? :)

[coalesce]

And me again. Anyone around on Saturday that fancies a game somewhere?

Not sure I fancy the Vines given it is champs, packed out and likely slow...

Do you need HB's phone number?

[coalesce]

Do you need HB's phone number?

No thanks - already checked with him and he's away :)

Not sure if you'd have seen what I posted in the "Things that perplex you" thread. Did you know that if you want to play in club champs, then you have to play between 9-12 on Sunday? So I can't enter because we're playing at 7

Haven't read that thread I have to admit, but the above doesn't surprise me at all, bit pathetic really! Personally I have never had anything to do with any of the 'official' club comps, to much in the way of politics etc involved. 9am+ is too late for you this Sunday I seem to remember you saying!?

BTW left things at 7am as DT reckons he is playing.

[Hatchman]

Your welcome to come up to Kapunda and play Saturday. Tee times start from 11:00 and are arranged on the day.
It's our 2nd round round of Club Champs so it's stroke. Don't let that it's Champ's Qual deter you as visitors are welcome anytime and I have no set group.

Yep, can't do that late on Sunday. I hope DT isn't expecting to be able to play champs or I'm gonna be pissed!

I might take you up on that if you don't mind. I'd need to be there by 11?

[Hatchman]

Your more than welcome mate. Get there between 10:30-11:00, leaves plenty of time to organise group and have a bit of a warm up chip and putt or smack some balls into the nets we have if you want. We could tee off any time between 11:30-12:30 depending on how many are out as we have no set booked time sheet.
Don't stress if your running late either as you won't miss out. Stick to the speed limit on the Gawler to Kapunda road too as cameras and Highway patrol smash that road big time.

This will give you a bit of an idea of the course http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/37530-A-Look-at-Kapunda.-A-Round-with-Hatachman

[coalesce]

Perfect, I'm looking forward to it already. Thank you!

The mrs is away on Saturday, so it means I'm free to go out Friday night to the A-League game at Adelaide Oval, get drunk, have a lie in, and still get some golf in!

[coalesce]

Man down. My head is pounding :(

Suck it up Princess there is golf to be played :)

[coalesce]

No way I could drive a car (or a golf ball) this morning

[nadg63]

We'll see .... ! ;)

Smug mode :-)

[Wenz]

Threadjack'd

Anyone wanna have a round together Sunday? Not overly concerned about time, but not overly early. 10am - 11am would be perfect!

Sorry Gareth. Should think about converting this thread into a general "SA Golf - Pick Up Game" thread.

[coalesce]

It doesn't have to be just my thread :)

Myself and highballin are playing in the drummonds day at Lady Bay on Sunday

http://view.drummondgolf-email.com/?j=fec511737763027e&m=fe93127274600c7c73&ls=fe2c1674766d0679711675&l=fec81670776c0c7e&s=fe4b1179706d0674701c&jb=ffcf14&ju=fe5a167573630d797510&r=0

No idea if it is too late to get added to that?

[Wenz]

I'd need a hc for that.

Would be a good day though. Enjoy it mate.

[nadg63]

We've possibly a spare spot at The Vines, BUT it's at 7.12am :)

[Wenz]

Haha, thanks Neil but I'll pass. Would have to be up at 5am if I were to make it there on time.

Might just play 9 holes at Mawson Lakes or Regency on my own.

[Hatchman]

Take the 30min drive mate and go have a hit at Kapunda. You'll get straight on at what time you want.

[coalesce]

Anyone busy this Saturday? I appear to have got myself a free pass for the entire day, so could go play anywhere (within reason)!

[Hatchman]

Kapunda between 6:30 - 7:00 too early?
I have to play early this Sat to make Speedway at Murray Bridge.

[Hard_Pan]

Same here, tee off Sat 7:20am at NH - usual playing partner might still be off with a bad back but we're playing 4BBB par and I think they're holding a draw to see who will partner up with me after my 42 last week! ;)

[thecollective]

The original thread was started then, but I thought I'd reuse it rather than start a new one

Thanks Hatch and HP but those are a bit early for me as I'm at the Adelaide United game the night before (and last time that happened I didn't make it to Kapunda next day!)

[thecollective]

Apologies I cannot host you Coalesce; my four ball is booked out.

TC

[coalesce]

No worries thanks, I can always get on at the Vines somewhere - just was looking if there was anything more interesting out there :)

And that was a late morning/early midday time, Karaoke anyone :smt034:smt034 :lol:

[Chilled]

Chilled might be an option if he is aroundGot a stupid 4BBB (pairs match play) this weekend. Want to cancel but can't as it would let my partner down and he's asked me to be in it. We tried for four weeks to get the four of us together with no luck so it's just one on one matchplay this Saturday. Then I'm off Kayaking in he arvo straight after :D

Well I was asking for last weekend anyway :)

Having said that, what about this Sunday? None of my usual partners are playing and it is a stroke round at the Vines so could be slow. Anyone fancy an away day somewhere?

[Chilled]

I'm keen. Do you have a time and place in mind? I haven't played Mt Pleasant in some years..

[coalesce]

Time would need to be morning for me - the earlier the better. That will of course make it harder for us to get on places I guess.

I've never played there. Where is it?

[Hard_Pan]

I don't know if they've got a Sunday comp but the other hills courses do. Doesn't matter anyway because they can usually slot you in if your ring beforehand.

[coalesce]

I need a comp - can't blow my handicap out for champs without one!

I've just checked the bookings at the vines and I've been booked in for an early slot there with Jason (who I didn't think was playing), so I'll get back to you when I've found out what's going on!

[Hard_Pan]

No probs, Let me know. But be mindful that we could play Sunday comp at a number of other courses. In the Hills, Echunga should be dry enough now and I've played in their Sunday comps previously no probs. Pennington (Salisbury), will allow us on also.

Pennington? or is it Penfield?

Mt Pleasant won't have comp on Sunday. You should be able to just rock and play but most likely no one will be manning the club house. Honesty box system is in place there. You may also get unlucky if a social club have a booking there with a few groups.

[coalesce]

So I am booked in at the vines so I'll stick with that. Thanks anyway HP - I'm sure there will be other weekends where I really am Billy No Mates

No problems whatsoever coalesce.. Just give a hoy whenever you want a game - even at NH! :shock:
