NSW Player Of The Year List.

[Grunt]

After speaking with MTB, I decided to run a NSW POTY thread so as to make it less confusing to look at the overall OzGolf POTY thread for us NSW OzGolfer's. Also with the discussion about the strokeplay having more than the 5 events that it started with, I thought of ways to get everyone that is competitive involved in chasing something.

So here is the current POTY standings as of MTB's latest update, before anyone jumps at me for them being different than that which is on MTB's list, there is a reason. He made an error in the game that Jim & I played at Wallacia. I beat jim but he paid jim the winner money. He said it will be fixed in the next update.

1. Matt3Jab$26,500
2. Jono$18,500
3. Grunt$18,500
4. Jimandr$16,000
5. Miro'sWife$16,500
6. 3oneday$16,000
7. TS$12,000
8. Trung$12,000
9. PingLauncher$11,000
10. Amanda$9,500
11. VirgalTracy$5,500
12. Fishman Dan$2,000
13. Andrew$2,000
14. Miro $0
15. PinglauncherJnr$0

I will update these figures when MTB does his next update, the above are current up to Kogarah on the 15th Feb.

I removed Kelvin as he is one of A-lo and Kee's mates.

[Grunt]

I never entered it in that config something must have gone haywire, like the rest of my day today.

[Virgal_Tracy]

Grant I'll pass on to you the same as I have MTB. Since the POTY began after the champs then the round played at Camden Valley on Dec23rd needs to be added.

Virgal $6000
Jim $2000
TS $2000
Jono $2000

That will bring us up to date.

[3oneday]

Just as a side interest, bit like the PGA Tour if you will, can we see games played alongside as well ?? or is this difficult ??

Pete

[AndyP]

What happens if one of you plays a game in Qld (Champs excluded), and earns money that the others had no chance of earning?

[Grunt]

Here are the updated POTY Standings including Camden Valley

Like MTB does with the overall? or something else?

[amanda]

I think this also needs to be updated for Bardwell Valley on the 26/3 and Australia Day (26/2) - I figure Blakey will get around to it eventually

[brad]

I think we have a nomination for the pot stirrer award. :-D

The golden spoon?

[Grunt]

Australia Day is in it Amanda, only Bardwell Valley (I think) to add once MTB gets the next update done.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Go Me!!!!!

[Grunt]

hey matt it is play money remember ;)

[3oneday]

Like MTB does with the overall? or something else?sorry, I was only referring to the first or second post which didn't have it. I've never looked at it before today !!!

Pete

[Pinglauncher]

I think Nathan (PingLauncher Jnr) will be disappointed to see no $$$$ next to his name. He played Carnarvon for a NCR and New brighton for 34 points. He did not come last that day and must be worth a couple of dollars.

[Grunt]

When was the NB round Ping? If it was later than about the 15th feb it will be in the next update

[Pinglauncher]

Grant, it was Australia Day 26th Jan. Hopefully my money is not updated either as I had a win that day LOL.

[BrisVegas]

hey matt it is play money remember ;)

Rubbish! It's real baby!

I bought an Aston Martin V8 Vanquish with my 2005 winnings... :mrgreen:

[connico]

why would you waste you hard earn dollars for a slow ar5e vanquish?

[BrisVegas]

why would you waste you hard earn dollars for a slow ar5e vanquish?

you'll never understand....

[Andrew]

Do I get any extra money for turning up to see people hit off? I've done that twice already.

[3oneday]

Do I get any extra money for turning up to see people hit off? I've done that twice already.no, but you get a whole lot'a loving

:lol:

[brad]

no, but you get a whole lot'a loving

:lol:


Awwwwwh.....What about if you drove a cart around the whole course but didn't hit a shot.......and I don't need lovin:)

[Andrew]

[brad]

Can't wait to see the first cut of the list .... :)

[Grunt]

Won't be updated till I get to the top, maybe 2100

[AndyP]

What did he win?

[3oneday]

What did he win?a Rabbid'dohs sticker :p

[Grunt]

What did he win?
I will have to make another Perpetual Trophy for the title. Ithink i can do better than the ones I made for the Champs last year.

[Grunt]

Finally got round to spliting the NSW OzGolf's from the overall list. Here are the latest;


Jimandr $92500
Jono $74000
Grunt $72000
MikeZone13 $65500
TS $35500
Trung $33500
Brad $31000

Fishman Dan $11500

Virgal Tracy $5000
Glen $4500
3oneday $3500
PingJnr $1000
Dylcross $1000Those in bold are in the champs so may add to the list. Can anyone catch Jimandr?

[AndyP]

You're also playing Brooky, Grunt, so there is plenty of money to be had. If you can find a couple of extra players for Brooky and/or the Champs, you could mathematically pass me in the overall POTY too.

[Grunt]

ps. I will make up a perpetual trophy to pass onto Jim. Not sure of design just yet but will make one up. Sort of glad I never won as it would have been weird making myself a trophy. Plus I don't think I would have been a deserving winner, not this year anyway. Look out for 2008

[3oneday]

Plus I don't think I would have been a deserving winner, not this year anyway. why is that Grant, a quantity V quality argument ? Please explain :)

[Grunt]

Think that Jim deserved it with the quality, so yes I believe quality beats quantity. Our moneylist is definitely shaded towards quantity though, more games with lesser sized fields does that.

[3oneday]

So, is money styled on number of players ? Maybe less than 4 players should be worth less, like significantly less ? $500 for the winner ?

Just a thought, but I am also sure I read about a sliding scale somewhere ?

[Grunt]

That would be easy Pete, only one problem we can't get 4 players too often.

[Jarro]

That would be easy Pete, only one problem we can't get 4 players too often.

You need to get out there and wake these people up then Grant ..... get 'em out golfing more ;)

[Grunt]

You need to get out there and wake these people up then Grant ..... get 'em out golfing more ;)

Don't you mean I should play less then more would play;)

[Jarro]

Maybe keep Dan away ... that'll ensure a good turnout ;)

[Grunt]

It may get better this year but I am not holding my breath Jarro. People down here seem to prefer their home track so that is where the majority of game time is. I understand that, just that I am a golfer that plays anywhere (almost) due to my shiftwork/weekend work.

[AndyP]

If I had a local club membership, I'd be playing a hell of a lot less abroad too.
I'd break my yearly membership down to what it is costing me per round I play there.

At least you did better than Victoria's one OZgolf day.

[Andrew]

I'd break my yearly membership down to what it is costing me per round I play there.


Andy,

Never do that.....

....but if you do, never, never, never, never let your wife see it.

[TS]

I'd break my yearly membership down to what it is costing me per round I play there.


Why torture yourself. What you don't know can't hurt.

Just like I have no idea how much I spent in the ozgolf weekend.

[Moe Norman]

Exactly.

Most of my golf used to be ozgolf rounds, but now I'll be playing every week at my home club and will only make the occasional major, and perhaps host a few ozgolfers every now and then.

Comes down to cost/benefit

[3oneday]

Comes down to cost/benefitso true, when you can pay $12 at home or play a social round for free. At least twice that elsewhere in a comp ;)

[Trung]

It may get better this year but I am not holding my breath Jarro. People down here seem to prefer their home track so that is where the majority of game time is. I understand that, just that I am a golfer that plays anywhere (almost) due to my shiftwork/weekend work.

Don't hold your breath, most of Sydney Ozgolfers won't be doing anything different than 2007.....

There are a few reasons.

1. The yearly sub for Sydneysiders are over and above 1K per year. For this reason, most of Sydney golfers tend to pick a club that we like, enjoy and play at our home track as much as we can. Why would you pay so much a year and then pay more $$$ to play at another club? :roll:

Riverside Oaks membership would be more beneficial. :)

2. I have a bunch of guys at my home track that I enjoy playing with.
Note the word "enjoy". I would play with them anywhere, it doesn't have to be at my home track. 8):smt038

[Fishman Dan]

Think that Jim deserved it with the quality, so yes I believe quality beats quantity. Our moneylist is definitely shaded towards quantity though, more games with lesser sized fields does that.

I didn't even know we had one?

[Grunt]

I didn't even know we had one?

I just took our moneylist out of the full list. Was a nothing really and seems will always be that way. I was just trying to get something going down here but as Trung has pointed it will never get going.

[3oneday]

I didn't even know we had one?well, there you go. I thought it was there all the time :lol: our attention spans must be slipping :)

When is the Fish3oneday golf day anyway ? I must have missed the return invite :lol:

[Andrew]

Why torture yourself. What you don't know can't hurt.



That is a beautiful philosophy, TS, and one I wholeheartedly support.

[TS]

That is a beautiful philosophy, TS, and one I wholeheartedly support.

It is good to see great mind think alike. We need to play together more often.

[AndyP]

Settle. I thought this thread was about not having more NSW OZgolf Days.

[TS]

Settle. I thought this thread was about not having more NSW OZgolf Days.

Sorry, what am I thinking.

Andrew & I would need to see if we can get some of the cheap Jetstar airfare tonight so we can playing in Qld.

[jimandr]

I'll be doing in 2008 the same as I did in 2007, which is trying to play golf with my OzGolf friends and colleagues whenever the opportunity arises. If that means I play a lot of money-counting rounds, then I win both ways.

I can play my home course any time, so if I get the chance to play other courses with people I know and enjoy playing golf with, then I'll accept the invitation.

I even enjoyed my game with Fishman Dan at his home course, and I'll go there again!
