Just throwing a thought out there - given it is a bit out of town, is it worth looking into a bus to/from Tanunda so that we can have a few drinks with dinner?

The possibility of Grange has passed onto Hatchman (as if his contacts can/can't get us on then I won't be able to do anything better there).

If Grange ends up a no go, then I'll arrange something else.

Either way we can get you onto Grange, all we are doing is trying to get it at a cheaper rate. This is so you have more money for Single Mum's and Cream Buns (not necessarily in that order)

We've had such a brilliant summer that the course is looking the best yet. Got that nice length on the fairways and the rough to the side of the fairways is stepping up in lengths just like it should be. Greens have been slowed in speed a smidge.
Still a bit bare under the trees but what courses have great lies under the trees.
Hang On, what's my excuse for playing so crap then.

At the moment I cant break 30 pts. What comes around goes around I guess.
Some might say I might be tanking for the QLD Champs:shock:

You did that leading up to S.A Champs too but got your timing out by about 6 weeks by my calculations.
Look out QLD Champs I don't think he'll get the timing wrong the second time around :)

I know I can get my head higher than the ball gets of the ground. Even before I start my downswing.:oops:

Chilled
4th March 2016, 10:08 AM
Probably just de-lofting by getting your hands ahead of the ball. But as I keep saying the worm burner crew at Kooey, loft is over rated anyways, brings the wind into the equation :D

Numbers were too low to get the golf/dinner deal so looking for an alternative for dinner. Any ideas or are you just going to head in to the city again as per last year?

Just to put it out there already, Schnithouse in Rundle is not an option.

There's a couple of options in Tanaunda, Barossa BBQ Inn or the Community Club named the Clubhouse for those wanting to look it up. 1918 Bristro & Grill looks to be a bit pricey and high end for a bunch of bum golfers. I haven't been to any of them but I do know the BBQ Inn doesn't do Schnits.

The new Coopers Ale House at Gepps Cross intersection could be an option.

I'll start a thread to discuss.

Would anyone playing at TPGC on the Saturday have any issues with moving the tee-off time out to 1pm!?

Reason I ask is a couple of the guys are wanting to play their home club championship round in the morning then heading over to play the Champs at TPGC.

Canadian foursomes would make it interesting - plus a minimum 6 tee shot best ball per player

I've got to bail from this one too. I just can't make the tee time work with various other things I have on that day

Jason you're welcome to my spot in the first group!

thecollective
9th November 2016, 01:19 PM
My suggestion:
- swap JasonB with Hard_Pan; (playing Kapunda together with Hatch and Waza - therefore takes the pressure off if they are running late as they can tee off later as a complete group if required)
- Marcel can join myself and Simsy in the lead group; that is of course if he would like to ;) we will set a fast pace

Open to any alternate suggestions but I reckon the above works

Ok, a few things:

- Tee times have been finalised and everyone is in the comp bar Simsy who does not hold an active GL account; 1PM is the lead group. Waza / Hatch / HP: being that you in the tail group it should not be any drama if you arrive later than expected and tee off at a later time; you obviously will need to slot in somewhere but Tanunda is relatively quiet in comparison to other clubs so Phil will look after you.

- Location: in case you don't already know; Tanunda Pines is directly across the road from the Novotel Resort Barossa Valley; if you require more specific directions please let me know and I can assist you. Gomersal road off the highway is the fastest way to come from the South, there is a dirt road shortcut known as Golflinks Rd that can take you from Gomersal to the Novotel entrance

- Dress code; the club is pretty laid back in this area so I don't really need to say any more

- Change-rooms and showers are located in the main toilet block / hallway adjacent to bar area - the building is pretty small so should be easy enough to find

- Snakes; there are lots living on the course and will be out in numbers during hot periods; please be very careful scrounging around in the rough for your lost ball

- Water: there is limited supply of water on the course - please bring lots as conditions can become very dry when the sun comes out (hence why our red is so good!). There is a rain water tank adjacent to the 9th tee block located at the old shed - other than that you have no real other drinking water available; toilets can also be found at the back right of the shed. The course passes by the old shed again on the 13th hole (2nd shot) so you have an opportunity to fill up again from the same tank.

- Driving range: there is a good quality grass driving range located in the right hand corner of the entrance. Vouchers can be purchased from Phil in the proshop

Sadly I will need to dash around 5:30PM so I may not see all of you afterwards for a clubhouse drink. The Tanunda members are renowned for being extremely friendly so don't be surprised if you get someone sparking up a conversation with you.

Any questions or other last minute pikers please let me know

Some quick thoughts on the Saturday game at Tanunda.

It was one of the most difficult days I can recall on a course and the weather tomorrow might be more of the same.

I have played in stronger wind many times, but not on a course that was so penalising on wayward shots.

For me it was a game to survive rather than enjoy. Fortunately Chilled and JasonB were both terrific company, putting up with my tantrums after yet more shots were thrown away around the greens. After we all reached the couldn't care less stage we had lots of fun in our quest to break the 20 point barrier.

Thanks guys.

Chilled
12th November 2016, 10:45 PM
Yeah agree Jim, the company made the day enjoyable :D We all had a hearty laugh at each others misfortunes. That was one hell of a day though, and one of the hardest I can remember for the last several years. I don't get days anywhere like that at my home course.

As you say, more of that tomorrow but somehow I feel the scores will improve, even if it is by only a small margin.
