[AndyP]

It's a long time away, but yes, I am as interested as you can be six weeks out.

[Jarro]

It's a long time away, but yes, I am as interested as you can be six weeks out.

ditto :mrgreen:

[BrisWesty]

Sorry, I've got my work social club golf day organised at Bribie that day.
Have fun though.

[PeteyD]

Long way out to get a single stab. They are usually a four ball. Also lets the day at Carbrook come in 2 weeks before! ;)

[Jarro]

i'll have an answer for you by thursday PeteyD, i go back to work on Wednesday and should have my roster by then ;)

[PeteyD]

Just a bump up. I need to put names on the sheets next weekend (16th) on the way to Carbrook.

[AndyP]

Yeah, can't see why I would change my mind at this stage. I would also prefer an earlier time.

Can you confirm the cost for visitors please, PD?

[PeteyD]

Lovely Francis at the office said around $20. I expect it to be that exactly. I will confirm when I am there this weekend.

[Jarro]

yeah count me in, for some strange reason i really like the course

[BrisVegas]

I'm keen, but I won't know for sure until a bit closer. Redland Bay was a nice & tough course from what I remember. Played it back in 2002.

[Stoney]

I'm keen, but I won't know for sure until a bit closer. Redland Bay was a nice & tough course from what I remember. Played it back in 2002.

Vegas, It was good in 2002, and it is better now.

I am keen but not sure if I will be able to get a leave pass 2 Sunday's in one month. I will say yes for now and confirm closer to the time.

[BrisVegas]

...not sure if I will be able to get a leave pass 2 Sunday's in one month. I will say yes for now and confirm closer to the time.

That's my issue too. Initial answer was "No". But I'm ever hopeful...:-D

[andylo]

yeah count me in, for some strange reason i really like the course

The cart girl? :roll:

[PeteyD]

The cart girl? :roll:

I don't think Mavis is his type ...

[terryand]

Hey A-Lo,that actually pretty funny :)

Terry.

[billybaub]

im in for this game
1 month away and only 1 game of golf in that time...
bad experiences at redland bay...gotta get on top of this course

[BrisVegas]

I'm still keen, but as AndyP said, I'd prefer as early a game as possible. I don't mind leaving in the dark, if it means I can get home to wife & bub by lunch time... Just MHO, YMMV of course..

[PeteyD]

Unfortunately they have social clubs in the morning so comp usually starts at 9:30.

[Iain]

Count me in, don't mind the bay. :)

[PeteyD]

Price at this stage is $21, $10 for recip. Green fees have just gone up but the increase has not come through to comp day green fees which are 50% of normal ones (22-25) so may be 1.50 more.

[BrisVegas]

Sorry Petey, I'll have to pass on this one now.

[dc68]

I am in. If there is a spot?

[990B Luva]

I will join you guys, even have a drink after cause its my 18th on the 30th of July:)

[AndyP]

I will join you guys, even have a drink after cause its my 18th on the 30th of July:)
Only one?

[990B Luva]

i wil have to drive home.. unless i can get a lift

[BrisVegas]

What's the Blood Alcohol Content you're allowed on P's these days??

I thought it was 0%....

[990B Luva]

yup means i have to sit for an hour without driving after 1 drink

[PeteyD]

Plenty of room yet. I will book us in on Sunday. Need 3 more to get 3 groups.

[Kee]

Count me in :).

[Choppa]

yup means i have to sit for an hour without driving after 1 drink

I wouldn't be risking that if I was you. If you are on 0% BAC, then to be safe you should not drink at all when driving. Just my opinion though :-s

[Iain]

Yeah, I agree with Chopa. Too big a risk, pretty sure alchohol takes longer than that to get out of the system completely.....

Especially when you're all skin and bones!!! :p

[dc68]

ditto not worth the risk.

[Jarro]

nah crap, get a skinfull 990B ;)

.. you can always crash the night in the back of the car anyway 8)

[gazgolf1]

I'm in bitches.;)

[990B Luva]

anyone wanna be kind enough to give me a lift?

[BrisVegas]

[/B] ;)

.. you can always crash the night in the back of the car anyway 8)

....which puts you "in charge of a motor vehicle" and just as guilty as if you tried to drive it home! :neutral:

[Choppa]

....which puts you "in charge of a motor vehicle" and just as guilty as if you tried to drive it home! :neutral:

correctamundo.

I'm in too. Can't miss a big money event without Vegas :-D

[Choppa]

Yeah, I agree with Chopa. Too big a risk, pretty sure alchohol takes longer than that to get out of the system completely.....

Especially when you're all skin and bones!!! :p

Ok ok, I got it now... Iain :mrgreen:

[AndyP]

I thought the keys had to be in the ignition to be considered in charge of the motor vehicle??

[990B Luva]

nope wrong AP

[Choppa]

Nup, you just gotta have the keys on you. You don't even have to be in/near your car apparently.

[Iain]

Ok ok, I got it now... Iain :mrgreen:

Good!! :mrgreen: :-P

[PeteyD]

Okay - I need details for Shazza_rs, Billybaub, Kee and Gazgolf1. Can you please PM to me Name, Contact Phone Home Club and Golflink no and handicap. (and send it to AP so you can be put into the contacts!)

stick me in a group with whoever nobody wants to play with...:smt002 I'm a pretty strong chance for a no show still...:neutral:

[AndyP]

Any one NOT want to play with anyone??:shock: I'm surprised you haven't got a stream of PMs with requests already.

I'm looking forward to playing a course I haven't played before. It's a rarity lately.

[PeteyD]

Anyone got Kee's details. I need to put him in. I will still put Keza and BV in, we can have 2 groups of 3 if need be. Room for reserves!

Privisional Groupings based on random draw:

[goughy]

You've gotta stop knocking yourself Pete. We're about a lot more than just the golf, and hacker or not we play with everybody. Just have a good time. And you don't have to worry about slowing a group down. I've played with plenty of higher hc'ers who really move round the course and I've played with low markers who move like snails.

It's all about the fun. You can tell from the scores appearing at some of the ozgolf games. Sometimes the only thing making the day enjoyable is the company ;) In fact, some of my worst games of golf have been at ozgolf days. I can only think of 2 reasonable rounds that I've had. But I've enjoyed them all.

[PeteyD]

Hehe true. Thanks for the support. Looking forward to this one as I like my home course so much! Looking forward to Carbrook on Sunday as well.

[Jarro]

groups look fine PeteyD 8)

[billybaub]

just went for a 9 hole round at stuttgart golf club
had the clubs away for a month

now thats having no rythem...could be an interesting one at reddie

[Choppa]

Does choppa want a group by himself :mrgreen: ??

Thanks for thinking of me Pete :)

Don't worry, this will be the third time in a row that I have played with Iain, so I am pretty sure he will be sick of me by now, so you just never know how many people will actually finish this round.

[990B Luva]

Petey I am in at this stage

[PeteyD]

Groups and tee times updated in the first post!

[nudgee]

Sorry lads, may be in Dubai now for the week, so I will have to pull out at this stage.

Cheers

[Iain]

Thanks for thinking of me Pete :)

Don't worry, this will be the third time in a row that I have played with Iain, so I am pretty sure he will be sick of me by now, so you just never know how many people will actually finish this round.

Awww, it's ok Choppa.....:smt058

I don't have to be home by 1, so I should be able to finish the round, but can't guarantee anything.... ;)

[Scotty_G]

Choppa .... wanna play match play ? I'll be in this if you are interested...

PeteyD... Scott Gardiner.... 4111005132.... Riverlakes..... Hcp 4....

Scotty

[AndyP]

Thanks for booking, PD.

Why is there 5 people listed in the group I am in?

[Choppa]

Choppa .... wanna play match play ? I'll be in this if you are interested...

PeteyD... Scott Gardiner.... 4111005132.... Riverlakes..... Hcp 4....

Scotty

Yeah might as well.

Iain can give me tips. I am sure he is eager for payback any way he can get it :-D

[PeteyD]

Okay, Nudgee is out and Scotty is in, and groups are changed slightly. I will do this update before we play. Note that BV is not likely to make it, so we probably have at least one more spot!

[Stoney]

Peteyd I am still only in Pencil for this one. But looking OK with those tee times.

After my Match Play win on the weekend I am now scheduled to play Shazza_RS in the next round. Do you want to swap me with Vegas so I can play this match if she is up to the task?

[PeteyD]

Consider it done ,as long as Shazza agrees and you can make it

[dc68]

Damn I got a prob, Broncos play the Tigers at 230 on the 30th. Pete how long does a round at Reddy Bay take on a Sunday and is it possible to get an earlier tee time? If not I will need to cancel mate,sorry I didn't even think to check the draw.

[Jarro]

dc68, you could probably make it if you played in our first group ???

only problem i can see would be getting a park at Suncorp Stadium.

[AndyP]

From Redland Bay, I can't see him getting to Milton by 2:30.

You could just play nine holes, dc. It's what all the trendy OZgolfers are doing these days.

[PeteyD]

I would think you won't make it. Why bother, Tigers will kill em (hehehe :)) 9:30 tee will depends on what social groups, if any are in front. If none, you will roar around in 3.5 - 4 hours, which would give you plenty of time. Failing that you can do 9 holes and ncr if you like?

[dc68]

will try coz I can jump a bus at carindale and it takes 20 mins from there,so will give it a shot if I can go in 1st group and if i am playing like a chump can do the boogaloo after 13 or 14 if need be. But I would not look forward to the bagging for being a quitter.

[PeteyD]

Dave - you shouldn't get bagged too much!:mrgreen: Swapped you into 9:30 and moved Kee. We can always change groups around on the day if need be. Carindale is about 30 mins from Reddy Bay, less if you drive like A-Lo.

[AndyP]

Dave - you shouldn't get bagged too much!Wanna make a bet?

[Jarro]

only if he plays 9 holes or less ;)

[PeteyD]

Added the smiley as sarcasm is lost in this medium

[dc68]

Hmmmm thanks Pete , I think?

[shazza_rs]

At this stage it is unlikely that Peter_rs will be able to make it.....

Depending on how projects go over in Perth.. he might make it back so I will leave him in .....

PeteyD > I will let you know closer to the date.

[nudgee]

PeteyD,

Dubai trip has been postponed for a month. So if there are any spots left, count me in - again!!

[leighthebee]

i'm down at reddy bay tomorrow, if there's anything you guys need, let me know.

Nudgee first reserve

Peter_Rs may be goorrnee, but I'm still in for this one. :)

[Choppa]

How did you spin that BV?? You da man

[Jarro]

is there still a group of 5 at 9:36 ????????

[BrisVegas]

no, peter_rs is unlikely to play. Nudgee could take his spot.

[Jarro]

peter_rs isn't in the 9:36 group Vegas :-s

[AndyP]

is there still a group of 5 at 9:36 ???????? There's 4 in the header post now. Looks like PD got around to removing Keza's name.

[PeteyD]

Yea. Finally realised Keza was still in there and took her out.

[PeteyD]

Shazza - can we scratch Pete From this one?

[shazza_rs]

i'll let you know tomorrow.....

Pete will have a better idea of how things are going by then.

Sorry to d!ck you around PeteyD

[PeteyD]

fine by me. Nudgee is the one waiting to see if a space opens up :)

[AndyP]

Sorry to d!ck you around PeteyD
Just don't turkey slap him.

[nudgee]

PeteyD - no problems mate - I can wait till the last minute.

[PeteyD]

Went down to check the list last night. The field is pretty solid behind us with no spaces until after 12:00.

They had 30mm if rain during the day yesterday, course was a bit wet (compulsory tee up and bunkers full of water). The weather looks like it will be great leading up to the weekend, so the course should be playing well come Sunday.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

[Jarro]

looking forward to it Pete 8)

um, having not played there for at least a couple of years ... can you tell me if there are any new holes/work t hat's been done there inthat time ?

[PeteyD]

I have only been a member since January. Did play it a few years ago and I am pretty sure it is the same. Nice pic here on the website

http://www.redlandbaygolf.com.au/about.html

[leighthebee]

depends what you mean by couple of years.

if you remember the course reno's from six or so years ago (added bunkering) and redesign of some of the holes, e.g. making the par 5 14th a real pr*ck of a hole instead of just a pr*ck, then not a lot has changed.

as of this morning, it was starting to dry out, so come Sunday, should be pretty tidy.

but it does get a lot of social traffic, so you may have to deal with some dodgy bunkers etc. fairways and greens should be solid, if a little slow, so keep it on the good stuff and you should have a cracker.

i'll probably be teeing off around midday so may miss you guys, but enjoy and let me know how you go.

[AndyP]

So you won't be hanging around in the bar drinking for several hours after you finish?

[leighthebee]

well, i will spend some time in the bar, but i won't get back in till 4.30-5.00pm.

if you guys are still there I say hi :mrgreen:

if your looking for some food afterwards, i recommend the beef burger (its big) or if thats too much a bowl of chips, which goes down nicely with the beers. :smt087

[PeteyD]

What's wrong with the 14th Leigh??? It's a loverley hole!

[Stoney]

Peteyd, I am still in serious doubt for this one. I have a pregnant wife at home that has been rather unwell the last few weeks.

I have PM Shaz and she is cool with the situation, matchplay will be rescheduled if I can not play.

I will confirm either way tomorrow afternoon.

[PeteyD]

No worries Stoney. Good luck with number 4. I know what it is like to have a wife sick when pregnant, so hope it all works out well for you.

[BrisVegas]

9:42 BrisVegas (Only possible?), Iain, AndyLo, kee

Bris Vegas and Peter_RS are both unlikely (Be very surprised if Peter makes)
http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&ea=attend&e=52

Peteyd - I'm definitely coming on Sunday. I'm picking up 990B on the way there.

[Choppa]

Peteyd - I'm definitely coming on Sunday. I'm picking up 990B on the way there.

Nice one BV. Are you still married?

[leighthebee]

the 14th! Aside from its overdesign. The whole was perfect before the bunkers were put in. Now we have the resort style mounding and bunkering on a few holes that take it out of character for the rest of the course

just my 2c :-D

[BrisVegas]

Nice one BV. Are you still married?
yep, still happily married. :-D I put in the hard yards when it counts. :smt002

Needless to say, my next game is the scramble at Brookwater on Sept 17!! :oops:

[AndyP]

I somehow doubt that Sept 17 will be your next game, BV.

I can drive to Redland Bay, if you want. But if 990B is involved as well, there may need to be a pickup point for one of you (he's in Archerfield?).

[BrisVegas]

AndyP, I'd appreciate the lift in the 6, if you're offering. I can get to 990b's place at Willawong, so you can get us both in one stop.

[PeteyD]

If you don't know where it is a map is on the website here:

http://www.redlandbaygolf.com.au/contact.html

[AndyP]

Petey, what do you think is the best way to get there from Archerfield? Mt Cotton Rd?

[PeteyD]

In north way:
Mt Gravatt - Capalaba Rd -- Mt Cotton Rd -- Duncan Rd (Sheldon) -- Boundary Rd -- Cleveland Redland Bay Rd

BEST FROM ARCHERFIELD:
In South Way (I lived at Mt Cotton and worked at Archerfield and went this way):
Crompton Rd -- Freeway South -- Beenleigh Redland Bay Rd (Exit After Bryants Rd / Hyperdome) -- Mt Cotton Rd -- Valley Way --
German Church Rd -- Clevelend Redland Bay Rd (or back way through Redland Bay)

[AndyP]

By best way, I mean the one best way......

[PeteyD]

See edit.

[AndyP]

Thanks mate. I'm familiar with Compton Rd, so I should cope.

[Jarro]

i'm coming by hovercraft if anyone is particularly interested ....

[BrisVegas]

glad to see you've harnessed all that hot air you produce..... :smt002 :mrgreen:

[AndyP]

Hey Pete, can I hit off the red tees on Sunday. ROFLMAO......

[PeteyD]

Shave your legs and wear a dress and we will think about it. Definately bringing the camera to this one!

[shazza_rs]

Peter_rs is definitely in for this one now........

yay!

[PeteyD]

Nudgee - not looking good mate unless someone else pulls out. Stoney is still iffy.

[Stoney]

Nudgee - not looking good mate unless someone else pulls out. Stoney is still iffy.

Nudgee, your in.

Things have not improved at home and I will be a no show for this event.

Have a great round all, I am sure the course will not dissapoint.

[dc68]

Except if it doesn't stop frikken raining goddamn it!!!!!!

[PeteyD]

Nudgee - looking good for you mate.

Stoney, Hope all goes well mate.

[dc68]

Speaking of rain was there much down at the course petey?

[BrisVegas]

Redland Bay would cope with rain ok, wouldn't it? I'm keen to play regardless.

[PeteyD]

It is pretty good with rain. Most of the course drains quickly. (1st, 2nd, 18th get some sticky bits). Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be fine so I wouldn;t worry about it.

We had about 5mm when I left at 7 this morning. I will try and have a look at the course tomorrow around lunch time.

[dc68]

Redland Bay would cope with rain ok, wouldn't it? I'm keen to play regardless.

Not saying I wasn't going to play Vegas just curious.

Thanks for over stating it shazza I'm home for three days sick... really work sent me home and she wont let me stay in bed. I may stay warm in the club house.

Nudgee do you want to try the nike.

[dc68]

woohoo see everyone on Sunday bright and early...If you are playing tomorrow good luck

[nudgee]

Peter RS - thanks but dont worry about it - I will be testing a new driver of mine - should be interesting to see how it goes.

J

[PeteyD]

Sunny all day today. Expect the course to be a bit wet in places but it should play well. Looking forward to this, see everyone there!!

[Jarro]

i'm getting reaady to leave now :roll:

[AndyP]

jarro, I reckon it would almost be as fast for you to get there as me. At least you've got a nice highway run.

[PeteyD]

I am ready to leave and I live 5 minutes away!

[Jarro]

thanks to my playing partners 990BLuva, AndyP and Gazmeister ... was a great day to be alive and outside playing the game we love so much !

As for my performance today, 30 points was a pretty good reflection of how my game was going. Putting and chipping were ok, but the rest needs work :( lessons aren't far down the track.

Thanks to PeteyD for arranging everything, well done mate ... you've got your first Ozgolf day under your belt now 8)

[PeteyD]

Thanks everyone for showing up today. It was a wonderful day to be playing. The course was not too bad, if a bit wet in parts. Shazza won the day with a 39.

I had a 32 and played fairly solidly for me. I am happy to see my golf improving. Managed the first nine with no wipes and only 2 wipes on the back, one thanks to a ball lost down the edge of the 10th :shock:.

Thanks to Choppa, Billy and Scotty (who behaved himself!). For the record Scotty won the Match 5/4 or 4/3 (can't remember which).

[billybaub]

thanks for organising the day
it was great
to bad about my golf though

see you all soon at another game

[gazgolf1]

Thanks PeteyD for organizing the day. :)
Thanks to my playing partners for an enjoyable round....great weather,great company.

[AndyP]

Well done on your first organised OZgolf Day, Petey, it was one of the bigger ones and it ran smoothly.

I really enjoyed my time out on the golf course today, so I guess my playing partners should take some of the credit for that. Thanks Gaz, jarro & 990B.

I liked the course, it seemed to require a bit of conservative play in several spots. It wasn't too long either, which did no harm to my game.
Fairways were pretty soggy in general, but appeared to be in good nick. Not sure about the greens though, as there seemed to be a lot of "bounce" in them.

Unfortunately my whole day was wiped out (8 to 5) so I could play there, so I guess I won't be making the trip too often. But I'd definitely play there again.

PD, Blakey prefers the scores in ranking order to help him out with the POTY money. Maybe you could cut and paste the below into the header post.

1. shazza_rs 39
2. AndyP 36
2. dc68 36
4. Iain 35
5. BrisVegas 34
6. peter_rs 33
6. gazgolf1 33
6. AndyLo 33
9. Nudgee 32

11. Scotty_G 31
12. Jarro 30
12. 990B Luva 30
14. Choppa 27
15. billybaub 26
16. kee 18

Well done, Shaz, you were the best man golfer on the day. One honour board win for you (if it ever kicks in again).
Also thanks to billybaub for coming out for his first OZgolf day. Hope we haven't scared you off for good, mate.

I've got a few happy snaps that I may or may not post later. My legs feel pretty rooted right now, so I may not make it back to the PC later on.

[shazza_rs]

Thanks for organising the day PeteyD.

Thanks to my playing partners, pete, jamie and dave (nice to meet ya dave). ;)

I played pretty well today.... suprisingly..... missed about 4 putts from a foot.... very naughty putter. :)

Thanks again for the day guys.

PS. Sucks to be beaten by a chick doesn't it ;)

[BrisVegas]

Thanks for organising the day PeteyD! Well played Shazza, you rawk.

AndyP - thanks for the ride, I owe you one.

[shazza_rs]

Ah crap......

CCR for chicks today was 74.....

Handicap has dropped from 17.9 to 16.4.

Shazza you wuss - you should be on 12-13 anyway.

Had a great start with the first 13 holes and then it turned to shite - 3 points from the last 5 holes. Worst of all was using a 3 wood off the tee for safety on the 15th to cold top it and not even have it reach the ladies - very embarrassing.

Anyway thanks to P&S and Dave for a fun filled round.

Shazza........... if you could only putt - actually if I could also putt..........

[gazgolf1]

PS. Sucks to be beaten by a chick doesn't it ;)

Tell me about it. ;)

[dc68]

Thanks to PeteyD for organising,top job mate.And thanks to my playing partners Jamie, Peter and Sazza RS, top day and nice to meet you.
Shazza had a great day except for the aforementioned lapses with the wand and I agree with with the comment that you should be off a lot lower.......especially with the head starts you get!!!:-P

[AndyP]

Congrats on another handicap drops, Shaz. Alas, the men's CCR was 72 and I have just missed out on a drop.

[AndyP]

.....but seemed to misread the greens a lot and burned the edge all day.
I found that I misread several greens today as well, but wasn't even burning the edges. They were longer putts that went a different way to what I expected, and I ended up with tough second putts. Any others struggle with the reads? What's the trick, Petey?

[PeteyD]

I don't know, but I have a lot of trouble reading other greens!!

Most of the breaks are pretty subtle (particularly with yesterdays pins) and there are not many straight putts on the greens.

[BrisVegas]

I was over-reading the break, ie. missing them on the high side most of the time. They seemed really grainy and I tried to compensate by hitting putts a little firmer than normal. Ahh well, who cares! Not heading back there any time soon. Next game is Brookwater on a completely different putting surface.

[dc68]

Most of the breaks are pretty subtle (particularly with yesterdays pins) and there are not many straight putts on the greens.

I found the opposite, I was actually reading too much break and if I had hit it at the hole on some putts I would have been better off.But then again I can't putt for Shite!!!!:oops:

[Moe Norman]

i found in my game at redland bay a few years back that everythin broke towards the ocean - weird.

[AndyP]

Could've done. Didn't really know where the ocean was though.

[Moe Norman]

East.

[AndyP]

Left the compass at home unfortunately. Next time maybe.

Should've taken the compass to find my way there too. We went a roundabout sort of way.....

[Stoney]

Ah crap......

CCR for chicks today was 74.....

Handicap has dropped from 17.9 to 16.4.

Well played Shazza, kinda happy I could not make it now.

I am pretty happy about that handicap adjustment though.

[AndyP]

As promised, here are some photos.

Jarro whinged about his lie then decided to take it as unplayable. For photographic purposes, I was hoping that he would have a crack at it.

Nudgee hits his approach on the 7th, I think it was a good one too. Looks like he was pushing his luck with the T-shot though.

Keep head down... check.:)
keep wrists firm through the shot... check:)
keep weight on front foot.... doh! :oops:


Thanks for that Andy! Can't believe how awkward that looks. No wonder I skull so many chip shots. Gotta get more onto the front foot and stay there...

[Courty]

Really? Maybe it's just a local rule, but up here, a washout in a bunker is a free drop (must remain in bunker).

[dc68]

mumble grumble it's the new black.

[Jarro]

Really? Maybe it's just a local rule, but up here, a washout in a bunker is a free drop (must remain in bunker).

that's what i was thinking when i got to my ball :mrgreen:

[Moe Norman]

free drop from a washout is a local rule which is fair enough.

Taking an unplayable in a bunker is 100% against the rules of golf.

[Jarro]

did you see the pic Moe ?

looks like that bunker was pretty washed-out to me

[AndyP]

free drop from a washout is a local rule which is fair enough.

Taking an unplayable in a bunker is 100% against the rules of golf.
If only the rules of golf agreed with you, Moe. Which part of the 0% does the below rule fit into?

Rule 28


The player may deem his ball unplayable at any place on the course except when the ball is in a water hazard. The player is the sole judge as to whether his ball is unplayable.

If the player deems his ball to be unplayable, he must, under penalty of one stroke:
a. Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (see Rule 20-5); or
b. Drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay, keeping that point directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind that point the ball may be dropped; or
c. Drop a ball within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole.

If the unplayable ball is in a bunker, the player may proceed under Clause a, b or c. If he elects to proceed under Clause b or c, a ball must be dropped in the bunker.

The ball may be lifted and cleaned when proceeding under this Rule.




Looks like my advice was good, jarro.

[Stoney]

For once I agree with you Andy, Moe what planet are you on? Question is did anyone bother to read the local rules board before heading out on to the course. Common mistake by a lot of people that can save you shots if you tke 5 mins before you start.

[AndyP]

Bunkers were not mentioned on the local rules board, only preferred lies.

[Stoney]

Bunkers were not mentioned on the local rules board, only preferred lies.

Did it say "preferred lie on the fairway" or "through the green" ?

If it was through the green this should cover bunkers. However they are a hazard so perhaps not.

Sounds like Redland Bay needs some instruction on local rules after a week of rain.

[PeteyD]

One of the bunkers on the 14th was out of play (was it that one Jarro was in?). All the others were in play. It was prefered lie through the green. Don't know if that includes bunkers though.

thanks for the photos AP. Crap I am getting fat ...

[AndyP]

I believe the board just said "preferred lies" and no other information, although the announcer for tee times probably said through the green.
Through the green does not include hazards, therefore no free place.
I did recall there was a ruling for the 14th, however the bunker in question was on the 5th.
Petey, you don't look out of place with a gut at our OZgolf days.....

[BrisVegas]

Petey, you don't look out of place with a gut at our OZgolf days.....

It takes guts to say that.

[PeteyD]

I am wondering if my hooking is a result of the gravitational pull of my belly ???

[Moe Norman]

I stand corrected for the time being, but I'm going to check this one!

[Jarro]

report back Moe.

i'm waiting.

[Moe Norman]

oh,

I just read AP's post again. You can take an unplayable in a bunker, but it has to be dropped in the bunker, for some reason I thought you took the drop outside the bunker.

Where did you drop it?

[Jarro]

in the bunker

[PeteyD]

Okay peoples. The mob at the bay can't get the results on the new fangled interweb thingy, so I have resorted to the newspaper:

C Gde: J Dougall(25) 42 R/Up S Ralph (18 ) 39

NTP: 13 S Gardiner

Approach 7: J Darr

Ball run down to 35. CCR Mens 72, Ladies 74

Well done all!!

[shazza_rs]

Don't know how i am in C grade... seems a bit strange. :confused:

[AndyP]

Where did you drop it?
Within two club lengths but still inside the bunker, in accordance with Rule 28c.

[Moe Norman]

fair enough then.

seems like a pointless drop to me, but yes, thats within the rules - for some reason I assumed he took an unplayable and dropped outside the bunker, I should read things more clearly.

[Jarro]

why would it be a pointless drop if i was entitled to relief ?

[AndyP]

why would it be a pointless drop if i was entitled to relief ?
Probably because you used a shot to take the relief, when there was a chance that you could get out by having a crack at it. Of course, doing that would have been risky and may have left you with nothing better.

[Jarro]

mate, there was NO WAY that ball was coming out of there in one shot .. trust me.

add to the fact there were rocks as big a 10 cent pieces right behind the ball

[dc68]

Like the fairway trap just short of the 9th green it was a deadset pebble path!!!!!

[Moe Norman]

entitled to relief with penalty, not without penalty. Unless of course they have the local rule that Courty mentioned, then it's without penalty.

the reason I would consider it a pointless drop is that you could not play a great shot, but you could blast it out of the trap for one stroke, or drop it within the trap for one stroke. I'd prefer the former.

[Moe Norman]

mate, there was NO WAY that ball was coming out of there in one shot .. trust me.
fair enough then, the pic looked to me like a blast out sideways was possible, but I wasn't there.

you can move the rocks/pebbles within the rules. Just not branches etc.

[Jarro]

i didn't think you were allowed to move rocks in bunkers ???

AndyP... ruling please.

[AndyP]

http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/3801/jarrosballan5.jpg



I thought moving rocks in bunkers wasn't allowed unless once again it was a local rule thing, but I'll check.

[Moe Norman]

just checked that one, I'm wrong again - which brings me to a point....

when I played matchplay against 990B, he lent down and moved stuff in a bunker. I told him he wasn't allowed to do that, he said that they were pebbles and that you are allowed. I incorrectly took his word for it, and have since thought this was the rule until now.

I need to consult my rule book more often!

[AndyP]

Here's the Rule on that one

23-1. Relief
Except when both the loose impediment and the ball lie in or touch the same hazard, any loose impediment may be removed
without penalty.
.
.
.
.
Note: If the ball lies in a hazard, the player must not touch or
move any loose impediment lying in or touching the same
hazard – see Rule 13-4c.

edit: Missed Moe's post. Bad, bad 990B.

[dc68]

Jarro surely you could have got that out?

[Moe Norman]

hmm - does it say what the penalty should be in matchplay AP?

loss of hole?

I recall that incident was at a crucial stage of the match! :D

oh well, lesson learnt.

[AndyP]

Breach of Rule 13-4 -> Loss of hole.

What was the result of that hole?

[Stoney]

Yes you should have known better :oops: :oops:

[Choppa]

i didn't think you were allowed to move rocks in bunkers ???

AndyP... ruling please.

Redland Bay had a local rule that allowed you to move the rocks in the bunkers.

[leighthebee]

hey guys (generic, ladies included), glad you enjoyed the day. was a bit soggy under foot though. as I shot through at halftime where you the guys on the deck nearest the putting green??

hope to catch up with some of you at Pac. Harbour. Are you guys walking or buggying. I've got a mate coming along so I'll go for 2, which I'll post in that thread.

[Jarro]

Jarro surely you could have got that out?

not likely mate :roll:

[Moe Norman]

AP - I halved the hole with a birdie to 990B's sand save par.

like I said, next time I call a rule on someone I'll actually get the rule book out to back it up!

[leighthebee]

yep. reddy bay has a local rule about moving rocks in pots.

hard luck jarro. that lie sucks. i saw the bunker that was mentioned on the local rules board and it was full of water. why the others were not listed does not surprise me. the fact that 1 was, does surprise me as its the first time i've seen it.

its a big problem i have with redland bay, rain or no rain. dodgy pots.

[leighthebee]

I was over-reading the break, ie. missing them on the high side most of the time. They seemed really grainy and I tried to compensate by hitting putts a little firmer than normal. Ahh well, who cares! Not heading back there any time soon. Next game is Brookwater on a completely different putting surface.

no disrespect peteyd, I agree with Brisvegas on this one. The Bay's greens are very grainy and usually break less than looks show. The rule seems to be don't give away the hole.

I remember following Baker Finch around here when he was playing Qld Foursomes a long time ago and the bugger could read 'em like a book. Simply amazing. That said he couldn't off a tee with anything short of a duck hook.

[PeteyD]

Maybe I worded what I said poorly, but this is what I meant by a subtle break, it is less than it looks, except for the big swales (9th and 6th come to mind). Generally hit it at the hole works.

[leighthebee]

yep. spot on.

[PeteyD]

I don't normally find too much of a problem with the pots, but can;t believe they left ones washed out like that in play. Mind you the ones I was in were crap as well. Plugged in wet sand is pretty sucky.

Jarro really got a crapolla result there. The CCR for Saturday was 70. I wonder if the bunkers were out of play.

[leighthebee]

no, the bunkers were in play. CCR of 70 is about right for a Sunday

[AndyP]

no, the bunkers were in play. CCR of 70 is about right for a Sunday
Sunday was 72.

[leighthebee]

i wasn't there for the presentation and haven't seen the results other than here. my golflink is being transferred so that is down too

I also read the local rule board again on Saturday as I was waiting for my lesson. Washouts in bunkers are GUR, drop in the bunker for no penalty, drop out for 1 stroke. And rocks are able to be removed in bunkers.

[AndyP]

Bad luck for jarro. Does anyone write down the local rules before heading out?

Hope the lession gets fixed up, Petey.

[PeteyD]

It was a rather violent lesson at that ;)
