Andrew and I have agreed to play our match at CAmden LAkeside on Friday 17th MArch @ 2pm. They have a deal for $55 including cart.

Who else is interested in playing with us? Grunt, Ping, Miro's. Could be a good chance to play your matches as well at a neutral course of reasonable quality.

Grunt

I have my free midweek round pass too. I might join the two of you if I am free.

Could be tempted for a Friday roster. Haven't played Camden Lakeside so it may be a good opportunity at a reasonable price.

I know my kids have District Swimming Championships coming up so if they are not that day I could be a big chance.

Got my Adams wedges now Jono, they are awesome. So your bribe fails. If it is that good why the offer then.

I figure we can take sides and give some healthy sledging.

I am looking forward to seeing the course for the first time.

This sounds like it is going to be a good afternoon, although I'm not much of a sledger.

I'm a bit confused about Burger's availability, but if he is in, then so am I, and we'll play our match.

It looks like we'll get two groups, so I won't be influenced by Andrew's sledging of the course design and the course designer. I already know how stupid the fairway bunkers are on 6, and on 7, and how unfair some of the humps on the edges of the fairways can be. Apart from that, and the overhead wires, I quite like the course.

Hey just an idea that has popped into my head.
Who's in for an 18 hole warm up at Mac Grange in the Bridgestone Battle?

miro
2nd March 2006, 01:45 PM
OK here is another idea.

As there appear to be 8 current players (this needs to be confirmed) I suggest that Miro and Miro's wife play making it at least 10 participants. As this is more than any date on my current "preferred dates for next stroke round" thread I propose that we use this event as the next stroke event.

Also as Ping and Grunt are playing we can play our two match play matches.

Let me know if all are on board and I will do what needs to be done.

2nd March 2006, 02:55 PM
Is there any way we can stipulate how many of the Stroke rounds will be on weekdays/weekends?

As an office worker, mid-week play is difficult to organise - don't want to be disadvantaged in the overall NSW stroke round standings.

connico

i would like to join in on these days, and im also a suit just like amanda so taking days off for golf is not out of the question but not viable all the time :)

miro
2nd March 2006, 03:14 PM
Mandy and Connico -i agree the wife and I are suits and would not like to see more than 2 stroke rounds mid week.

In this case it just seemed like an exceptional opportunity to kill a flock of birds with one stone and I hope it is not too much of a problem for either of you.

2nd March 2006, 06:20 PM
When I thought of the NSW strokeplay champs idea, I actually never thought of holding any of the event rounds during the week due to the fact that most of you fellow NSW OzGolfers work mon-fri jobs. It would not be fair on you all for me to organise somethng that really only suited myself and a few others and neglected to suit the majoity of my fellow OzGolfers.

I actually don't agree in having this day count as the NSW OzGolf Strokeplay 2nd round. Sure have it as an OzGolf day that kills a few birds with people being able to play their matchplay opponents. Remember this day was set up by Andrew & Virgal to play their matchplay round 1 match. If a few of us can get our games out of the way that is great, but to play both matchplay & strokeplay on the same day is sort of devaluing both comps. If we are to build this Strokeplay Champs up we have to give it some standalone status and try if we can to have it not in conjunction with any other golf events.

By the way I will be there no matter what happens with it being both strokeplay + matchplay.

Sorry for another rant from me (hey it would have been earlier but I was at work today:smt002 )

Jono
2nd March 2006, 06:44 PM
Grant,

Why don't we see how many can turn up on this date before deciding whether to run the Strokeplay in conjunction or not?

In a perfect world, we should hold the events separately, but Ozgolfers getting together in this kind of numbers doesn't happen that often. If we get 12, I say we go with it.

We can always aim to hold more rounds (say 6) during the year and count the best 4. 8)

Right, I've gotta go pick someone up at the airport. Not looking forward to driving in this rain ... :cry:

Grunt
2nd March 2006, 06:49 PM
Not raining here

I think if we won't more rounds, do put too many on. Any more than 1 dropped round makes it a little messy with ties and the like, unless you count all rounds for ties.

Weekdays for me are not in the plan, and asbolutely no chance in March. Definite negative from me.

If it's 2-strikes and you're out of the Stroke event, then my race is over before it began.

Can we have some more sensible suggestions now? I'm glad to see the shift-worker agrees, let's see if we can sway the unattached doctor :roll: :lol:

3oneday
2nd March 2006, 10:16 PM
Can we have some more sensible suggestions now? god I hate agreeing with you Dan :lol:

If it's a majority rules type scenario, I thought we had this discussion after we finished at Mac Grange ?? That we would find a "weekend" for the next one ??

Anyway, I guess you need to decide between you all, if just because you have 10 or 11 guys you think that's enough to call it a championship round ?? When won't it be enough, 6 ?? We had 6 at Kogarah plus 2 blow ins, thats almost enough then ???? Congrats Matt !!!!!!!!

Just my thoughts on the matter.

jimandr
2nd March 2006, 10:59 PM
Here's my wisdom of Solomon solution.

We have the March 17th strokeplay/plus some matchplay event, AND the weekend players also have a strokeplay event AT CAMDEN LAKESIDE on whatever date can be arranged within the two weekends following. The event was going to be on one of those days anyway. You could even move forward to the 11th or 12th.

I agree with Grant that the event was originally designed as a weekend tournament, but I also agree that the opportunity of having 12 players together is too good to pass up.

Anyone who plays the Friday can also play as an observer on the weekend, but only their Friday score counts.

I wouldn't think the weather conditions will change so much to give advantage to one day or the other. Perhaps a slight advantage to the weekenders, as they know what score to aim for. But, if you're good enough to shoot it, good luck to you.

well, what do you think?


Grunt said "With so many of us it may be an earlier start now, even though Daylight Savings is still on. Vince did you rebook for more groups?"

My memory is that the 2.00pm start was chosen as it is the time when the daylight savings $55 special starts. $55 is good value around Lakeside. The normal $85-90 is not value at all.

Jono
2nd March 2006, 11:36 PM
Jim, you may be short off the tee, but you certainly aren't short on ideas ... ;) :lol: Except for Grant, it seems like most of the objection against combining the two (matchplay and strokeplay) is coming from those who can't make it on the 17th. If they can play their round at Camden Lakeside on a weekend, it might sound more appealing.

I guess the question is if someone was to play BOTH days, then which one does he count towards the strokeplay event? The first game that was played?

All this can logistically be worked out if everyone agrees with the general principle. I know playing the 2nd round of the Strokeplay Championship over two separate days is not the "ideal" thing to do, but I think it may solve our little dilemma here.

Well, I can't play weekends, so I think they should all be on weekdays.

Nah, just kidding.

Does it really matter? The Ozgolf championships are just a bunch of people who chat on the net getting together for a game of golf on a regular basis. There will always be people who can't make certain dates.

If the stroke championships are decided on 4 rounds, then does it matter how many you play? Play 10 & count your best 4. If more are played then we all have a chance to contribute 4 rounds. If there is a tie at the end, then work on a countback system e.g. Less rounds eliminated wins or courses with the higher ACR have greater value or maybe courses with the greater architectural strategic merit are worth more..... hang on, we're in Sydney, that last one won't work.

Virgal_Tracy
3rd March 2006, 07:50 AM
No matter what date we choose its not going to suit someone or some people. Just add the 17th as an extra round to the strokeplay with the option of taking the best 4 scores (or 5 whatever) for the year to count.

As to seperating the strokeplay and matchplay, that is never going to happen when there is limited opportunity for people to get together. Does that mean at future stroke days playing matchplay games is forbidden? Based on the fact that we are all not members of the one club there has to be flexibility.

My 0.02c worth.

3oneday
3rd March 2006, 08:14 AM
Set a criteria, if 10 is enough to call it a strokeplay day then so be it, maintain the status quo of having 4 of your best scores to count, but set a maximum number of events that can be played.

Maybe have 10 (if we think we can get 10 or more people that many times) and stick to the "best 4 count". Jono will hack it 8 of the 10 anyway !!!

Gentlemen,

There is one indisputable fact. We currently have 12 players enroled for Friday. The most who had advised a day for the stroke day was 8. Clearly the Friday suits the largest number of members in this instance. And that is to my mind the most important thing.

Some of us are willing to go out of there way to make this thing work (taking a day of from work), some of us are willing to through insults around from the sidelines -to the second catagory I suggest you grow up.

I don't know if I can get any extra groups on. I have booked 3 groups at 2pm but there is a corporate day on in the afternoon. I'm taking the Miro's as playing and Zipptop as well but if there are any extra's then I will need to know asap to see if CL can squeeze another group in.

This is turning out to be a great day.

yep, do your worst, whilst you are all there, can you let us know when it will be suitable for the next one please :p

Taking a day off work is a personal thing, and subject to your work environment. I wouldn't personally call it "making this thing work", it is afterall a game of golf !!!

Insults from the sidelines... I must have missed these, please maybe include them in your next PM. :p

Grow up ??? Goodness, skin thickness not returned since ones holiday in the snow then ;)

FFS !!!!!!!!! "I have decided" is a bit rich. As suggested, maybe a consensus of what constitutes sufficient numbers to enable a "stroke round" to count in this thing Grunt suggested would be wiser.

Happy to vote on this if it gets "decided" :p

What about this?

We hold as many stroke days as we can during the year. You can attend as many as you want/able to. However, you can only count your first 5 rounds towards the best 4.

So let's say we end up holding 10 stroke days during the year. Let's say you attend 8 of them. You can only count your first 5 rounds, drop your worst round from those, and the remaining 4 rounds will be your final score. The scores will be relative to the par for the course, which raises the issue of some courses being more difficult than others. However, I think we can and should overlook that fact.

This will give you the opportunity to drop 1 horror round but will also prevent you from having too many bites at the cherry. If everyone was able to attend at least 5 stroke days during the year, I think the final result will be pretty fair ... and more importantly, FUN. :)

hey, if you can attend all 10 rounds... why should you be punished/disadvantaged for only choosing the first 4 out of 5.... the more you can attend, the better your chances are....

hey, if you can attend all 10 rounds... why should you be punished/disadvantaged for only choosing the first 4 out of 5.... the more you can attend, the better your chances are....

Jono, when you start making some sense... come and talk to me... DOOFUS :mrgreen:

That's not what I said. I said the best 4 out of your first 5.

This way, we can hold as many as we can, both weekdays and weekends. As long as you can make it to at least 5 of those, you are not disadvantaged.

You know it makes sense ... ;)

DOOFUS.. it doesn't make sense...

What is the point of someone playing their full 10 stroke round games if only the best 4 out of the first 5 is counted...

If you play 10 games, you should have more advantage than someone playing only 5 games... it makes sense....

Sorry Trung, I agree with Jono. It means that the lucky ones who attended all 10 don't get more chances to practice (such as yourself) to beat the more gifted ones.:smt002

In regards to the stroke events.

We should have one event every 28 days, separated by 25 days at least. Each golfer is allowed to choose 4 of their best 6 rounds or 5 of their best 9, as long as they are on alternate months, deleting the score closest to the median. A golfer can choose 6 rounds, but only if they have play 5 rounds thereby needing to delete 2 of their 6 round, which constitutes only deleting 1 round due to them only playing 5 times. For those not playing 4 rounds, a bell graph will be drafted & the score closest to what constitutes a 45% angle if a 90% angle was drawn from that spot will become their 4 score. Golfers playing no rounds will average out their scores & multiply them by 4

If 6 golfers are able to attend a single day & play the full 18 holes indicated by the numeric symbols on each tee, it will be considered that 6 golfers have played. No more & no less, except when there is more than 6 or less than 6, then it will not be considered that 6 golfers have played.

A Joker can be played on any round played of a course where the number of holes are a prime number. On these rounds the stableford score will be multiplied by all the numbers that are divisible into the afore mentioned prime number, except for the prime number itself.

Weekday rounds will only be used on weeks where there is less than 2 weekend days, except on months that have 30 or 31 days. In these months, 28 days will be assigned to choose a day of play. The 3 leftover days will be considered taboo & will be called Steve. Any matches played on Steve will not count.

All rounds where golfers wear white shoes after Labour day will not count.

Some of us are willing to go out of there way to make this thing work (taking a day of from work), some of us are willing to through insults around from the sidelines -to the second catagory I suggest you grow up

That outta do it.

So is it perceived that those who aren't able to make it are being difficult? That those who don't want to (can't?) take time off work are troublemakers? I reckon you should chose your words a little better Miro.

I would have loved to argue about this all day, but unfortunately i've barred this place during work and only get to respond in the evenings - is that being difficult too? :roll:

The above is how I feel about the above topic now, if you can't get more than 3 groups Virgal I will gladly give up my spot so as to let someone that wants to play be there. If by doing so I forfeit my matchplay match so be it. I tried to set up this strokeplay champs as a thing to show how us New South Welshmen & women could organise a little champs tournament. I feel after 1 round I have failed in my in my goals for it.

The below is a quote from me in the NSW Strokeplay thread, maybe I should have set more rules in place to avoid the situation we are in now.

Now is the time to set some basic rules, I like Jim's suggestion for 3 out of 4 rounds to count. This will enable those who can't make all 4 rounds a chance at taking out the event. For those who do play in all 4 rounds they will just drop their worst round off.
As we have a wide variety of golf ability in our group I think to give everyone a chance of winning the main prize should be the nett winner. I know this is against most golfers ideals but having a scratch winner would mean only 3 or 4 of us can win and the rest of us are just making up the numbers. We will still have a scratch winner. Also would a $5 entry fee per round be too much enable the purchase of prizes?

With all the carry on I think this whole champs idea must be getting more important to some than the playing golf with fellow OzGolfers that is was set up to do!

I know why don't we have the rules that you can just play any day you want and post scores on here and the best person with a minimum of 25 rounds by christmas wins.
Ohh wait what if I only get to play 35 rounds do I average them out or do I get my best 25?#-o

Enough said!

You want a dummy spittin' contest. Well, I forfeit all together ... I forfeit my NSWmen status and am moving up north to become a Qld'er ... ;)

(insert however many smilies it takes here to indicate that above statement is a jest ... :mrgreen: )

Grant, I think you are being a bit melodramatic. Everyone else wants to have fun too. This was your idea in the first place, but it is now alive ... Let it evolve. ;)

It was agreed that the winner of the previous round would organise the next one. Mrs Miro was the winner, so she's got the conch. Let her decide and let's all accept the decision and PLAY GOLF! 8)

I've made my suggestions here ... whether others think them sensible or not, they are just suggestions.

Grant, since this Stokeplay champion concept is your big salad, you should decide how to count the rounds. If you want best 3 of 4, then we should all accept that. However, the venue and date should be left for the previous round's winner to decide.

I've said my piece and I'll go along with whatever. As Pete suggested, 80% of my rounds will be hacks anyway ... :oops: :lol:

Like I said to Grant, I think it's good to assume that everyone is out to have fun and play golf.

Having said that, with a little bit of "seriousness" and a bit of organisational skills, we can have a nice comp running. Grant's 4 round strokeplay was a great idea. Imagine the FUN you can have watching your name on the leaderboard ... just like the pros.

In an ideal world, we'd all play the 4 rounds and add up the scores. However, as we have seen already, it is next to impossible to find a date where everyone can turn up. Hence the idea of "best x number of rounds from y number of rounds". We just can't seem to agree on the values for x and y ... :mrgreen: If we put our heads together and come up with a reasonable solution, we can forget about it and just play golf. 8)

I am happy with that as long as the majority is happy to accept that those who attend more strokeplay days get an advantage.

My idea of best 4 from first 5 rounds was to eliminate this advantage.

Perhaps if everyone throws in their suggestions/preferences for the way to calculate the best 4 rounds, Grant can sit down and work out which one he wants to go with. I think in the end we should just follow what Grant says.

Ok tarts.. this is it. Good to see there's a huge day brewing, but i'm unfortunately not going to be able to make it as previously stated.

If we want a serious champs over the course of 12 months, then some brave soul has to come up with the plan months prior, with set dates (courses can be added later).

This is a serious case of TOO MANY COOKS. Leaving it up to us all to decide was always fraught with danger.

As it stands, i'm probably a 50% chance of making any of these rounds, as much fun as they would be. For what it's worth, i think anyone suggesting that a serious comp round on a weekday is inherently retarded.

Now, let's sit down and argue for 4 months over who is to be on this committee. :roll:

5th March 2006, 09:33 PM
Let's see, Mr Fishman ... Last time, you gave Grant a hard time because he had organised a weekend date that coincided with monthly medal. Not a club championship or anything of that magnitude, but a monthly medal, FFS. Now you are unhappy because it's a weekday. When are you going to realise that the Ozgolf days don't revolve around the fish? :roll: ;)

We didn't plan it this way, but it's going to be a weekday this time because so many people can make it. If you can't, then just make it to the next one. This is not meant to be a serious event. The rest of the rounds will most likely be on weekends (unless, of course, we have another weekday that so many are willing to attend and the winner of the previous round wants to have that day as the next round)

I hope we can sit down after the game on the 17th and come up with some basic guidelines (eg. how many rounds to count from how many). And I hope Grant will resume his role as the main organiser of this event, with the winner of each round taking up the responsibility of organizing the next round.

Fishman Dan
6th March 2006, 06:38 AM
The point being it was a weekday with very little notice, and a note from someone early on in the piece suggesting those who couldn't attend were doing so to be troublemakers.

The other 'disappointing' factor was a poll suggested 5 potential dates, yet the actual event is occurring a week before any of those dates (and on a weekday). So i miss out... a little dissapointing personally, but when 3+ groups can attend, it will be a good day.

And if another round was organised on a medal day, i'd still go to the medal day. Nothing's changed there.

If actual dates were known well ahead of time, it would be easier to plan. You don't agree with that? You can sit down on the 17th, but face it, we're 2 rounds into this event and we're still making 'rules'.

All kudos to Grant for getting the idea going, but his only failing was that he asked us for input ;)

Suggestion - take it how to will

Stroke day event proposal

There are 9 Months left after march, one stroke even has already occured the next one is set to occuring next week friday the 17th. Lets say we have 1 stoke event every month excluding december thats Eight events left for the year with two events having been played or already organised.

Lets propose that of the 10 events you can take 4 of those events for your total score. There are no restrictions for which events you choose to nominate as there are plenty of events you can make your score from for everybody.

The Event dates will not be nominated but predetermined, we can decide on which week of the month the events will be hosted. This will create an even playing ground. there will not be the excuse of "not enough people". All matches will have predetermined dates so no excuses if players dont want to turn up to the event on that day of the month then so be it, the ones that can will, play and get thier score.

I think that will make it much easier...and more professional, nominating dates are a farce as it lets people whinge, whine about how they have a life and need notice. Because we have given the notice people can schedule themselves aound the rounds.

Hope this helps, i think this is the best thing that can happen.

Amazing how one little open invite to join Andrew and I in our matchplay game can create so much anger and vitriol.

Now having started all of this Andrew and I are pulling out. Life and family had gotten in the way of my being able to make it in the PM so Andrew and I are going to play this match at 9am on the same day. This means that we will be finished in time to meet you all arriving and wish you the best of luck. If its agreeable we could have our scores included in the day seeing as we will be playing the same course on the same day.

We will again open it up to those who can make it eg MAtt as it now won't clash with work committments.

It also means that DAve and TS can play as we still have 3 full groups. If anyone wishes to join Andrew and I the booking is under the name Bates for 9am. Add yourselves and just let me know.

Joining the argument I again think that we can have as many strokeplay days as we like but take the best 4 or 5 rounds. This is a social site and not a full on comp so if someone is that serious about wanting to win it and wants to play 6,8 or 10 rounds to ensure they get the best score then so be it.

I look forward to playing a few rounds of golf with some likeminded mates, playing new courses and having a drink afterwards and bull****ting about what could've been.

Thank you Grant for the original organisation but we either have one person making the rules or we go rules by majority vote. At this point in time with the competition already started then I go with Grant making the rules and if people don't like them start your own superleague and let the punters vote with their feet. Alternatively see how this year goes and make suggestions for rule changes to begin next year.

Lets forget the fighting and have some fun which is why I guess the website was set up for in the first place.

PS Mrs Miro / Miro owe me a drink for doing their organising (being as this was done in quick reply this would be followed by multiple winks)

This might cause some S&*t but I have made a decision to remove this event from the Strokeplay Champs. I have also added some rules to the Strokeplay Calendar thread. They are nothing new really, they are the line in the sand that should stop all the problems that were highlighted by this event.

The day will still be a good OzGolf Day, with everyone earning OzGolf Dollars, some matchplay matches will also be played in the event too.

Sorry if it has been a decision made late but it had to be made, also in making this call the cutoff date for the 2nd round will be extended to the end of April. If you go back to the poll you had a clear majority for the 25th March.

Let get back to what this forum was set up to do, Having fun playing golf with friends, without all the bickering that I seem to have started with the NSW Strokeplay Champs.

This will cause heartache to nobody except Burger, but I am out as well. Just about the only work event that could force me to go to work (a job interview) has been scheduled for Friday 17th, so I'm out.

For what it is worth, I still think the 17th should be the stroke play championship round, and if others are agreeable, the weekend only players should be able to organise their own game, at Camden Lakeside, the weekend after or the one after that, with the scores counting.

If there are no objections, I'll ask the weekenders which date and time is best, and we'll do it. If it costs us the weekend rate, so what. If nobody wants to play, I miss a round.

Maybe we can have a "Vardon" championship as well, with a minimum of 4 or 6 rounds to qualify. If we do, I nominate Jono to use his formula designing skills to work out how a game at an easy course receives the same value as a game in 50 mph winds at a hard course.

If you go back to the poll you had a clear majority for the 25th March.sorry, which thread ?? :oops:

I think I am out anyway, I am currently leading qualifier in the club matchplay with one round to play. First round is played 25th March. I could still miss out I guess, but Dan would have to inhabit my body for the day :smt087

Grant - tough call to make with so many attendee's.

But put it this way - if the game was planned for the Saturday 18th (or 25th, or 1st of April) at Camden Valley, do you think we'd still get 12-16 people. Be interesting to see how many of the "Ye's" would have come to that.

And it wouldn't cost $90 at CV.

Good luck to the winner... for having to plan the next round ;)

Pete - your body is a temple, and i'm pretty much without religion. Not even i would go there.

Three things:

a. As this is not a stroke round you can assume that Mrs Miro or her fill in me are no longer organising the next one (Grunt note the only person who has not modified your original rules was me/ Mrs Miro who had the absolute right to organise the next round when and where we wanted to.)

b. Miro and Mrs Miro are out so TS you are free to play.

c. Ping and Grunt you can take that as a forfeit on the matchplay -good luck with the balance of the competition and enjoy Friday.

In answer to quote a.
It was assumed by all that the rounds would be on weekends. Sorry if I did not make this clear enough at the start.

Qoute b.
Why is she forfeiting? I was still coming for the matchplay.

Jesus, I feel like I am in the middle of a "Days of our Lives" episode. You come back 3 years later and the storyline is still the same.

I was just hoping to catch up with a few friends and enjoy a game of golf and it has turned into a huge and ugly drama.

Miro, I am more than happy to reschedule our match play for another more suitable time if you cannot make next week. I really don't see any reason you should be forfeiting.

I'm really not fussed on who plays at what time but can I have people let me know today when / if / what time they are playing so I can let the course know.

I have already stuffed them around enough requesting extra tee times and them trying to fit us in around a corporate day.

So far myself, Andrew, Trung and David are playing in the morning. CAn everyone else please confirm their times so that I can make further bookings / cancellations.

I also have one of the discount vouchers so our group is right in the morning for $50ea

Connico and Matt came up with some workable solutions, but oh well ... I guess it was always gonna end up ugly ...

Grant offered a suggestion, it was made prior to the first round. Everyone accepted it then, the status quo has now been reinstated, best 4 of 5.

Let's now enjoy the event, and the winner, well the winner will be well pleased with their crowning moment, their golfing pinnacle, their ....

It means so little, just play, maybe next year we should consider going back to just organising games. No slight on Grant at all, great idea I thought and still do, but it all seems to have gotten a little extreme.

I will have to see if I can do some juggling to make the early tee time. Will confirm this afternoon.

Does this now change the cost back to $90 for the green fees etc.

Virgal_Tracy
7th March 2006, 11:59 AM
OK we are looking at moving everyone to the morning pending approval from CL. Now at this rate we have 3 discount vouchers and Grants Freebie.

MAybe we should get everyone to pay $50 for the round (except Grant) and the $50 fo towards the ubiquitous bottle of wine that seems to be the prize of choice. Either that or Trung gets his freebie from Grant as promised and the present from Vegas becomes the prize. I don't want this to become the source of another argument just an idea.

You are very brave to throw an idea into this thread ... you wait till someone jumps in and says that he doesn't drink wine ... ;)

I think Grant has already promised Trung a free game, so let's not touch that. If we have enough of discount vouchers, perhaps we can divide the rest of the cost equally ... Should still come out approx $50 - $60. I am happy to throw in say $5 to $10 for a collective prize, whatever that may be.

7th March 2006, 01:13 PM
Just speaking with Grant in the chatroom ... seems like a bit of misunderstanding ... Let me make my position clear on this issue of stoke event.

I personally think this round could have been used as part of the stroke event, especially with so many willing to attend. The availability of participants is always going to be an issue, especially when we are trying to count 4 rounds. Hence my suggestion of having as many stroke rounds as we can during the year, preferably weekends, but more importantly on days where there will be good attendance. From there, we can choose the best 4 rounds. (I suggested "out of the first 5 rounds you play" so that those who can not attend all the rounds will not be disadvantaged). I thought this was a reasonable compromise considering how difficult it is to organise a big Ozgolf day, let alone 4.

Having said that, it was only a suggestion. If you did not like the suggestion, all you had to do was disagree. I think Grant did the right thing in stepping in and setting some guidelines. I will go along with that.

My "NO COMMENT" comment was directed at all the unnecessary comments in this thread. Comments about the messenger rather than the message ... it seems like everyone is equally amazed at how silly/retarded/serious others are. "You are taking it too serious, I just want to enjoy golf with fellow Ozgolfers". "You have a thin skin. etc". If you don't agree with suggestions thrown in, then just say so. No need for sarcastic/caustic remarks.

Anyway, the decision has been made, so I'll go along with it. 8)

Trung
7th March 2006, 05:01 PM
It's not fair on the organiser if you put names down for both AM & PM.... This is not a normal course where you can put as many names down as you like..

Camden Lakeside takes credit card number of the organiser as security.. You are either YES for AM or YES for PM....

A private msg between matchplay parties to decide when to play is better... After that put your name down for AM or PM... Don't create more problems when there are already so many of it...

At this rate, there wont be much NSW Ozgolf Days in the future... You will find that people will arrange future games via PM rather then starting a thread for everyone to b*tch.

Trung and David will play together. Other than that put up your hands if there is any preferences.

It should still be $50 if Grant brings both his vouchers and I bring mine.

This is all dependent on the club and what they say about the group breakdown. I'll post this pm and let everyone know what they said.

Grant,

Matt is already booked as per Vince's post.. :mrgreen:

Yes, that's the one.

Did you intend on reporting your own post? Wouldn't it be easier to edit it?

No, don't do that. I don't like Trung, Grant, Jono, Burger or Matt.

I'm not too wrapped in Vince or Connico either, but that guy at No. 2 is a pretty good bloke.;)

Go 2 groups of 4. I'd suggest that Matt come join us in the 1st group so he can be sure of getting away early but that would leave Trung and Jono in the same group. Not sure that's a good idea (only cause I'd miss hearing the sledging).

I'm just going to turn up tomorrow, be in the 1st group with the only guy that Andrew thinks is a pretty god bloke and whoever is ready can join us and tee off at 9am.

Grunt
16th March 2006, 08:04 AM
god bloke or good bloke?

AndyP
16th March 2006, 08:07 AM
Maybe both. Interesting typistical error.

is this the biggest thread ever for just a game of golf?

Virgal_Tracy

Well the thread for the golf part is actually only 3 posts, the other 233 posts are made up with *****in, fighting, scratching and other stuff that is totally off topic.

Lets continue in that vain and have some real sledging, side bets and mind games.

I think god bloke is an apt description of andrew. Read his qualifications and he is probably closer to god than the rest of us. Obviously doesn't have too much sway though cause if he did he would either be blessed with talent to rival Tiger or hwe would've given up wordly possessions (oh wait he has he's a muso) and gone into the friary.

If i was in advanced I'd have a whole heap of winks and smiley faces.

yea, 2 groups of 4, ill go with andrew (need to ask him a guitar question) and connico (he has my hat) and Vince (need to prove i can putt from kogarah) and it will be all sweet, im sure we'll hear the sledging from the greens behind us ;)
im in rain hail or shine!

Although "impressive", I doubt that it is even close, Grunt.

Oh look, another page started.

It might even make the national news too!
Headlines & postmatch quotes
"NSW OzGolfer's Finally Play match"
"The game that turned the the NSW OZGolf StrokePlay Champs on it Head"
"8 players play in infamous game @ Camden Lakeside"
"Viscous Sledging heard in Final group"
"Putting poor in 1st group"
"Golf the Victor on the Day"
"Matchplay victor confident of overall win in Championships"
"Matchplay loss sees player spit dummy and vow never to play again"
"Matchplay loser vows to win next year"

I wonder how many of these will come true?

Included in the price

Trung

OK.... Just rang Camden......... now 2 groups of 4 starting at 9am........

ps... I wouldn't mind having a game with Connico since he is the only one I have not met or play with. Not much opportunity in the near future....

Vince, do you mind if Connico move to the second group with Grant, myself and ficken Jono... hehe.. I'm sure you will have a chance to play with him at a later stage.... please please.. ;)

1. Vince, Andrew, Burger, Matt
2. Trung, Grant, Jono, Connico

well it looks like its already done then lol...so carts are included hey, and the price is 50bucks wohoo!!!

Could be slightly dearer now Anthony as Trung and I are not paying at all the vouchers offer discounts relating to how many in each group. So unless we get them to hold the offer you may be up for $55. Or if they are real A R S E holes they could even charge one group $200 and the other $110 with the conditions on the vouchers, but if that is the case Trung and I could slip a couple of bucks in to make it $50 for everyone.
