Brad, I suppose we need to start thinking of where and when we can play our match. I have not played for a month due to my back and hope to make a comeback next Sunday. I would not mind a week or two to see how things pull up so maybe mid April onwards ???

Sounds good to me - Amanda and I are playing mixed foursomes weekends of 1 April and 8 April. I think we are also out weekend of the 23rd (going to The Vintage). So that leaves the following dates:

- 15 April
- 16 April
- 29 April
- 30 April

Let me know what your preferences are and we'll organise a venue.

OK then, now for somewhere to play - any ideas - anybody.

Tell you what, I wouldn't mind playing Carnavon even if it is your home course. Only played there once and liked it - and the chicken souvlaki - mmmm!

Carnarvon is fine by me as I only have to walk up the road :smt023 but happy to look at other options.

Do you want to try for Sunday 30th ???

Brad, I'll book it. Sheets come out a week in advance so will do it then. Is after 11:00 suitable as it gives me time to take my daughter to swimming in the morning.

At the moment we have

1. Pinglauncher

Nathan will more than likely be the 4th but he is happy to play with or without DAD so if others want to turn up let me know.

Young single people ... :roll:

It's called individual choice. Amanda doesn't want to play that day, doesn't mean she can't walk the course if she wants. And I'm not going to force her either way!

Local Carny guys, is there a time limit on when the half way house is open ... I don't want to be carrying a souvlaki around the course in my bag :)

connico
29th March 2006, 11:37 AM
hey hey now now dont blame it on my singledom... i only know that if i could get on a course and have the time for it i would play it, instead of caddying for someone unless i get something back...yeah you know what i mean

amanda
29th March 2006, 12:04 PM
Connico - we're not all pulling in $4k a week like you! The rest of us have to budget our funds carefully to play golf and live the lifestyle we have become accustomed to :)

connico
29th March 2006, 12:25 PM
Ill shout then ;) happy to share the wealth around...and yes that offer only extends to amanda...dont want her to caddie when she would rather play

and the days of earning that much will be over soon my contract ends in a month...be back to normal wage next month...and normal hours dont know if i should celebrate or be depressed...

amanda
29th March 2006, 12:57 PM
Thanks for the offer - but you'll need to keep saving for that car :)

I'm actually looking forward to a weekend that doesn't involve golf - might spend the day reading a good book.

connico
29th March 2006, 01:54 PM
yeah im almost there but 30bucks isnt going to hurt the budget lol....

a good book is good, but i do all my reading at night, leaves the day time for golf..

30th March 2006, 12:04 PM

It was definately a game of 2 halves today at Carnarvon.

After 9 holes (back nine first) with no halves Pinglauncher turned 3 up. We halved the first and second holes and then Brad won the next 4 on the trot to go 1 up. The remaining 3 holes were halved with me missing 4 footers for the win on each hole.

I guess we both missed a few opportunities but Brad hung in tough where it counted down the stretch so congratulations on a solid win.

Final results for the day were : -

Match Play

Brad 1 up


Stableford Scores

Titleist Boy 35 (18,17)
Brad 30 (14,16)
Pinglauncher 29 (17,12)
Connico 25 (12,13)

Nathan was pretty solid again today and both Brad and I probably made some bad club choices based on match play thinking which cost us both points at critical times. Connico on the other hand had a very heavy night and was not at his best.

The company was great and hopefully a happy day was had by all.

heavy drinking, hangovers does not produce a good result, maybe should have keep on the drinking and i wouldnt of felt so sick. Damn waste of a fine round, driver was ok. Only took one long straight drive away today, but thats enough to make me think i might keep the thing. You'll know if i keep it if i name it.

Hmm

Hmm

From what I saw today, I think the driver should stay. When you trusted your swing it was pretty solid and I think the loft and shaft is a good mix for you.

Sell the Mizuno and don't give it a second thought.

Sorry for not posting sooner .... work can be a bummer.

Thanks guys and thanks to Chris for organising the day. I had a great time and finally good to catch up with PL and PingJnr (who will one day be hitting it a mile :shock: ). I was fairly awed by what I consider Chris's straight play off the tee.

I can now say that I can remember most holes at Carnarvon, so that is a plus. I have also found an uncontrollable way of moving the ball from right to left, but it is the first time in my golfing history that I have been able to do that so I am sort of stoked.

I'll take away two humerous memories from this day:

1) my driver into a tree and having it rebound 3 teeboxes to the right and still making the green in 3 to have a four putt and lose the hole :oops:

2) Connico on the last using a duck as a backboard to stop a thinned shot out of a bunker :shock: :mrgreen: - classic
