Hackin at McCracken was mentioned during discussion at Kapunda.

[coalesce]

Works for me

[nadg63]

Yep, sounds like a plan.

[highballin]

Last weekend in March the only one I can play.

[Peppas]

Nice bun

[highballin]

Nice bun

Haha Food perve :)

[Hatchman]

Haha Food perve :)

I would have though the reply would have been "wanna bite?"

[nadg63]

Last weekend in March the only one I can play.

29th you mean? (though sometimes at McCracken you can get a game on a Saturday!?)

[Hatchman]

Saturday in comp would be better if possible.

[nadg63]

Saturday in comp would be better if possible.

Will give it tonight to get some more feedback then see what I can sort tomorrow!

[highballin]

Yeah that weekend we play Glenelg in the state final of the race to Bonville the week before I should make that purely on participation :shock:

OK, I'll get in touch with them tomorrow when I get home from work.

Saturday 28th (if able to get on - Comp day!?), or Sunday 29th good with everyone else?

[Hatchman]

Either is good, Saturday would be preference.

[highballin]

Either is good, Saturday would be preference.
+1

Faark I just reread this post I hope other people can understand what I meant. It must be the medication kicking in!

If we have 2 - Victor is such a nicer course :)

[nadg63]

If we have 2 - Victor is such a nicer course :)

HB and Coalesce haven't played there before hence the choice. And agree, Victor is much nicer.

[Chilled]

Looks ok at this stage for me, would prefer a comp option if possible also.

[nadg63]

Bit of an issue with this ......

Have been in touch with McCracken and YES we can get in to their comp on a Saturday morning, 28th March, BUT we are not able to 'potentially' get a tee time until the Wednesday before giving their club members first dibs on spots! (which is fair enough) I would have to phone in on Weds 25th to see if any times are available and if so when - likely to be 10.30/11am plus!?

Losing interest in this proposal .................. !

Feedback from those that were interested in playing?

[coalesce]

After today's round I'm giving consideration to giving up golf :p

[Hatchman]

After today's round I'm giving consideration to giving up golf :p

And taking up Sand Mining by any chance?


Looks like Sunday and no comp will be the better option.

[thecollective]

You beat me by 1 point - can't be that bad.

That course is not suited to your game; you would enjoy the West course alot more

TC

[coalesce]

Yeah I need a sand less course suited to pull hooks

[thecollective]

Yeah I need a sand less course suited to pull hooks

we should head to Waikerie! no bunkers! although plenty of desert sand

Seriously we should make a trip there - its a great country track

TC

[coalesce]

And we could go to Waikerie Bakery and have kitcheners!

[Hatchman]

Not a bad idea and a course that will not disappoint and will in fact surprise some how good it is.
Bit of a hike for our friends way down South so would have to make it a full day trip.
I can play guide around there as it's a course I've play many times.

[highballin]

Alright with me I am up for it!

[Hatchman]

Better stick to topic of hackin @ McCracken for March.
Waikerie trip when it gets cooler. April should be better.

[nadg63]

I'd be up for it, never played Waikerie!
Played Barmera once, (that was one time too many, pretty ordinary!), and have also played Berri a couple of times - much nicer than Barmera.

[nadg63]

McCracken is now booked for Sunday 29th March, (the Saturday was proving to be too hard!)

Going by the usual turnout for these days I have only booked two groups, first group off at 8.30am.

So next question, who intends playing!?

[Hatchman]

Put me down, I'm in.

[thecollective]

Yeah me 2 at this stage

[highballin]

I'm in

[nadg63]

I'm in

Already had you listed :-)

[nadg63]

Just bumping this up, anyone else interested?

[marcel]

I'll try and make it, when do you need a definite by?

[thecollective]

Im thinking of also playing VHGC in the Saturday comp if anybody is interested?

TC

[nadg63]

If all the spots aren't accounted for, the day before! ;-)

I'll put you 'in' just in case :-)

[marcel]

Thanks, will know by March 9

[nadg63]

Bump!

[thecollective]

Looks like I have to pull out - sorry

TC

[nadg63]

No worries TC, next time.

[marcel]

Out.

36 hole foursomes at RA with steak and red wine at half-time has won me over that day

[Hatchman]

Out.

Awesome, wonder what the poor people are doing :)? Wait a moment, they'll be hackin at McCracken :(

[coalesce]

After steak and wine at half time, I reckon I'd want to give the 2nd 18 a miss...

[marcel]

Totally outside the spirit of the event, great sport comparing 1st and 2nd round scores afterwards. Rarely do the half-time leaders bring it home

No worries, enjoy the day :-)

[nadg63]

Coalesce, Highballin and HatchmanSS76 - as it is now just the four of us you guys still wanting this to go ahead or should I cancel!?

'nadg'

[coalesce]

I still haven't played there but happy to go with the majority

[Hatchman]

I'm happy to play there.
I want to see if coalesce plays water as good as he plays sand :).

[highballin]

This made me LOL

So what we're not good enough for you :-s

[nadg63]

So what we're not good enough for you :-s

Not at all, probably the opposite! :-)

Was just checking that due to the low attendance that you all still wanted to play.

If nothing changes I'll change the booking to a single group a week or so before.

PS: HMSS76 - be interesting to see how many of the dams/lakes do still have water in them at this time of year?

Hehe loosen up Nadg just checkin :o

[nadg63]

No one was wanting a cart for this? (though if anyone requires one that would be me! :-( )

[coalesce]

Not me thanks unless you need someone to screw up your back again?

[highballin]

I'll share with you Nadg if you want one.

[Hatchman]

Walkies for me thanks.

[Hatchman]

Herd from others at Glenelg that McCracken's looking very dry atm.
Giddy up, lots of run :D into bunkers and into water :cry:

[coalesce]

So there's no comp on a Sunday? Sounds like a perfect time to give the S56s a debut :)

[Wenz]

Since when did you buy some S56's G?

[coalesce]

Since a couple of weeks ago in the pro shop :) I'm sure I've been lulled into a false sense of security by hitting my irons well lately, that will evaporate when I use these!

[Wenz]

They are suprisingly more forgiving than you think. Beautiful looking iron that's for sure.

[thecollective]

Coalesce: I agree with Wenz; I am yet to find a PING iron that is not forgiving - I think that is one of the reasons why they are so good....

TC

[coalesce]

Well if there is one, I'll find it :)

I am more interested in finding out if the stiff shafts are too much and I lose distance, etc too

[Wenz]

I am more interested in finding out if the stiff shafts are too much and I lose distance, etc too

For this exact reason is why I got mine with reg's.....everything else in my bag is stiff, and I've got the clubhead speed for stiff iron shafts but I can relax a bit more and not go at it all the time with regs over stiffs.

[nadg63]

All set for hackin at McCracken on Sunday?

[coalesce]

Yep. Pick you up at 7?

[highballin]

Looking forward to it:D

[nadg63]

Yep. Pick you up at 7?

It's only approx 45mins from my place!? But 7am if that's what you want to do :)

And am going to risk the walk HB so remember to take your buggy ;)

[coalesce]

Ok 7.20 :)

[nadg63]

Ok 7.20 :)

[highballin]

All good

[Hatchman]

I'm ready for some hackin at McCracken.
My old mans got my Jetspeed atm so have to pick a driver off the bench.
Take the TRPX or an old faithful Titty 910 D3?

[highballin]

Yeah I might bring the Nike Covert off the bench. Jetspeed can have a well earned rest :)

[Wenz]

Is it going to be windy?
TRPX would go literally nowhere in the wind from what you told me how you hit it.

[highballin]

On the way breakfast of champions :lol:

No one got near green.

Na, can't be me. Plain black pants :D

[Hatchman]

Recon round today to check suitability for champs rounds.
Verdict is McCracken is a no. Course is good enough but the amount of duck sh!t makes it a no.
Every green and surrounds are covered in land mines.

[nadg63]

On the way breakfast of champions :lol:

It was too! You got the best score on the day.

[highballin]

Coalesce says to me if Kitchener buns were breakfast of champions why did you have one then. :cry:

Hit it harder then

[Peppas]

Hit it harder then

DIdn't you 4 jab it at Fleurieu cos you left your first putt halfway to the hole? :)

[coalesce]

Yeah but highballin does it more often :)

[Peppas]

Needs to hit more draws with his putter, they roll out further!!!

[highballin]

That's it! Light bulb moment thanks Pepps:lol:

Quite the opposite actually. Has been closing the putter head over promoting the draw (more of a pull really) with inconsistent contact off the top half of the face.
