Nudgee GC (South) - Sunday 25/07/04 8:06am

[AndyP]

Peoples

I'm looking for a hit in the Brisbane area this weekend. I would prefer to play in a comp, and a morning round would be best. I have already discussed this with a few of the guys who I know are already busy, but wanted to see if anyone else wanted a very much out-of-form OzGolfer in their group.

If I don't get any offers, I will organise a round in an open comp somewhere myself. So if someone else has not already committed to playing this weekend and wants to put their interest here, I will probably organise one tomorrow.

[AndyP]

Andy....don't take this the wrong way but why dont you round up 40 clams and go see a pro (golfer) ?
What are you saying? :wink:

I am still hoping for something to click, which starts a turnaround. But I may look into coaching later this year.

Plus, I'll pick a course with plenty of run, so my dribble shots go further. :roll:

Now that's playing golf with your head. Good thinking AP. =D>

[AndyP]

He certainly is super smart.
That's super-dooper smart. :wink:

[Jarro]

Andy....why dont you round up 40 clams and go see a pro ?

sounds good to me :wink:

[BrisVegas]

hang in there Andy. A good round will come again soon....

I hadn't shot my handicap in competition since August 2003 up until this past weekend, so you're not alone.... :wink:

Not playing to your handicap, and not playing to 10 over your handicap are two entirely different things. :oops:

I'm prepared to suffer through my club champs in a couple of weeks time, if it comes to that.

[Jarro]

so let me get this straight.

you wanna play THIS weekend :?:

.. or on the 31st/1st :?: :?

This weekend. 8)

[Jarro]

i'm free this sunday 8)

if you like we could try and get in at Nudgee :?:

sundays comp is an Open 4BBB stableford

[macleod]

andy, this saturday morning is an Invitation day at Gailes, 4bbb stableford off the whites.

i think with invite days u just pay comp fees?

if i can get a set of irons before saturday....

treat me as a backup to jarro's offer i guess...

also sunday is a medley single stableford, best 9's if u wanted to go out and have a bash yourself.

[AndyP]

jarro, I will contact you.

mac, you are back-up.

8)

[Jarro]

sent you a PM :wink:

[BrisVegas]

Scott - If you get stuck, I got a set of Tommy Armour 855s cavities (with S300 shafts) there you can use. They're a bit neglected, but still hit the ball pretty good. I also got an old Ping Pal putter too... I'll be around on Saturday if you need to collect.

If you prefer masochism, I also have a set of PGF Aristocrat SB blades you can try!! :wink:

[Jarro]

Ohhhhh, now there's a set that would look perfectly at home in Blakeys bag :roll:

Do it Macca, test yourself :P

[BrisVegas]

Those old Aristocrat blades are great for belting cane toads. Not sure I'd try and use them on a golf course anymore... You can imagine how good the 855s felt when I finally upgraded!! :lol:

Upgrade?? Don't the Aristocrats hit the toads as far as the 855s? :roll:

[BrisVegas]

I used to have matching persimmon woods for those Aristocrats. Damn, I wish I had them now... They'd look great in the pool room. If I could find a cheap set of shafts, I fix the blades up and mount them on a rack. I'd love a mint set of "retro" blades/woods for special occasions. Don't think I'd like to go waaay back to hickory shafted stuff, just a nice set of mint '80s tour stuff... mmmm :)

nah, the blades are the gear for toads. 855s have too much offset and are not heavy enough. Sometimes the hosel catches the toads ahead of the clubface, causing them to come off the face a bit low, right and squirrely.... :wink:

[Jarro]

Ohhhhh, now there's a set that would look perfectly at home in Blakeys bag :roll:



Thanks for taking some of the heat of me in this department comrade !:smt023

hehe..

.. you're still number 2 on the list :wink: :lol:

[AndyP]

OK Guys. Round is booked, details are in the thread title. This is a social round, not a comp round, so if I get less than 20 points, it doesn't count. :wink:

Eag's

One spot left. Let the fight's begin. :roll:

Wow, that's some good shooting Eag's & Jarro.

AndyP - nice to see you shooting on the proper side of 90 again!

Macca - did you use those crappy old clubs of mine?? I forgot to check, but was there a wedge in that bundle??

[Jarro]

yeah he used the Tommy Armours Dion .... i had a hit with them on the range, pretty cool sticks actually :smt023

Macca's bag was the biggest mish-mash of old and new i've ever seen :shock:

half Nudgees/ half Vegas'

Nudgee, that Tour Concept driver of yours is an absolute weapon :!:

Last time I used those Tommy Armours would have been 1998 when I was a member at Nudgee, so they should have felt at home there. :) I used to use 2 iron a lot around Nudgee North. The long iron 855s are so easy to hit. I'm actually thinking about replacing 3,4,5 in my current setup with those oldies (after a regrip of course!!).... :idea:

[AndyP]

I didn't have a hit with that one. Think I was having too much fun with your 3W, jarro. :wink:
