20/4 Leon Treadwell Memorial Golf Day - City Golf Club Toowoomba

[goughy]

So who's up for this this year? I'll email the organisers and see if they've got entry forms yet? Sometimes they are a bit limited in buggies so the earlier you nominate the more likely you can get one. Barely hit a ball since this last year, so if you get stuck with me maybe think of yourselves as a group of 3 with the handicap of a 4!Two teams entered thus far. We'll sort them out on the day. More teams still available. 4 buggies reserved for us, the rest will have to walk.

Do you want daily updates on my shifting work travel schedule?

[goughy]

I'd really be after hourlies......

Naturally they told me they're already short on buggies, but that city usually finds extras for them. She thought they might have had 4 left. I asked them to hold 4 for us.

[goughy]

Shaz, pete (not yd), and Jono, can I have some HC's please.

I'll send a couple of forms in today. How's things going with you Charger?

I'm assuming like usual, we'll mix groups up on the day, just wanna get a couple of entries "in".

Peteyd, can't believe I'll be off a lower hc than you - will suck to be on my team!

[shazza_rs]

Pete 13.7
Shaz 15.1

[goughy]

Ha ha, I've got a lower hc than you Shaz :) :)

[terryand]

Need Mine Goughy? Got a legit AGU now.

[AndyP]

I've started the fundraising drive: https://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/53062-Leon-Treadwell-Memorial-2018-Pledger-Ledger

[Jarro]

Add me to then list please, day off has just been approved.

[Jono]

Goughy, my handicap is 11.7.

I have applied for leave and should be able to confirm by next week.

[Jono]

Is it a morning tee off? Shotgun?

[PeteyD]

Its normally a lunchtime shotgun Jono.

[goughy]

I'd say around 11'ish. I've sent in two entry forms so far and inquired how many other groups they have left. I just made up a couple of hc's - really doesn't matter as we'll sort it out on the day anyway, along with the actual groups. So we're a bit up in the air on the third group so far...........

[PeteyD]

Leave Approved!

[goughy]

OK, so I've got two teams entered thus far. Doesn't matter who's written down where, we'll sort them on the day. But can I check what the player situ is?

9. AndyP
10. Charger + mates

Is that were it stands??

[AndyP]

Yes, I'm still in pencil.

My travel dates have still not been confirmed yet, but right now it looks likely that I will fly out that night.

[Jono]

I'm definitely in! :)

Leave approved.

[Charger]

My two mates are having some kind of mental breakdown caused by golf and are out. Im in and keen as!

[AndyP]

I am in, as my travel will be late in April now.

When it was looking like I was having to leave on this weekend, I was considering playing this, flying out that night, then running the Vienna Half Marathon on the Sunday morning. That would have been challenging!

[goughy]

Piece of piss for you!

First post edited with the list. 2 spots available so far.

[Jono]

Sorry guys, I'm out. :(

[goughy]

:(

3 spots up for grabs! If the 3 of ya's want a serious laugh join a group with me! It's entertaining!

[benno_r]

What time is tee off this? I fly into Brisbane at 6am.

I also only have 5 clubs in the car, so if I can make it, could anyone lend me a set of irons and a bag?

[AndyP]

FWIW I was thinking of playing a quick 9 holes somewhere on the way there, but I don't know how do-able that is.

[PeteyD]

I could Benno. Maruman Conductor pros with reg steelfibres 5-p.

Cheers mate.

In delicate negotiation with the Mrs - she allows me a lot of liberties, but sleeping away on my first scheduled night at home isn't as popular as I thought it would be.

Just tell her whats 1 night longer. Than produce the " Toddy" for her the following. Bound to keep her happy.

Of course!

Toddy, can you send me a handfull of pills and the hot salami you mentioned please?

[Eag's]

I will take one of those spots guys.

So this was mentioned, and she advised that she wasn't young enough anymore for an effective Toddy-ing, so no leave pass for me. Interest withdrawn.

[BrisWesty]

Sorry I'm late. Yes, please.

[Jarro]

Nice one Westy [emoji41][emoji106]

[goughy]

Noice, only one spot left. Great job all.

Now, does anyone have any grouping preferences? Anyone they haven't had a game with before or for a while they'd like to be grouped with? Anyone who wants to have a go at winning rather than just for shits and giggles; you won't want me in your group!

[PeteyD]

I would like a cart, and with Charger would be good if possible.

[goughy]

I would like a cart, and with Charger would be good if possible.As one of the early inks, one of the 4 carts is definitely yours! And no probs!

[Charger]

I would like a cart, and with Charger would be good if possible.

Good man.

[Jarro]

Cart with Eagsy please if that's ok ?

[goughy]

You and Eags together for sure, cart we'll see how it falls. Only have 4 for the 3 groups.

[terryand]

Would like a cart, but if not thats ok. but if the people I play with know CPR that would be good........

[shazza_rs]

Pete’s St Johns First Aid Certified...

I don’t care who I play with and happy to walk.

[goughy]

I'm in the same boat Shazz. Was thinking at least one cart going in each group could be an advantage when it comes to collecting errant shots.

[AndyP]

And poor socially.

[Eag's]

Walking or carting, no worries either way for me. I am just glad to be having a hit with some mates :)

[Jarro]

I'm happy to walk also if some cripple in my group needs to cart it.

[peter_rs]

Looking positive for this... bad part will be I land in Brisbane at 5am

[shazza_rs]

Heads up for those traveling from Brissy. There are lots of road works happening so give yourself some extra time.

Roadworks at lowood/laidley intersection and resurfacing of the bitumen on the Gatton bypass.

[PeteyD]

Thanks shaz.

[BrisWesty]

Shaz is correct. Probably would be quicker going through Gatton and Grantham rather than the highway.

[Charger]

Shaz is correct. Probably would be quicker going through Gatton and Grantham rather than the highway.

Risky....thats Deliverance territory. Dont get outta the car

[PeteyD]

Probably safer than Murphy's creek

[Eag's]

Sorry guys, but I can't make this now. I am struggling with the flu and I am also having big issues with my teeth.
I am booked in for two root canals on Friday (only time I can get in to my dentist) really not looking forward to that one bit :(
AP, I have made a donation to Leon's day. I will catch up with you guys sometime soon for a hit.

[PeteyD]

Bugga. Hope the dentist stuff goes well.

[Jarro]

All the best Richard...catch up with you soon hopefully [emoji106]

[goughy]

Bugger mate, teeth suck. Get them all ripped out! (don't, that sucks worse).

[goughy]

Two spots up for grabs - last minute takers no probs!

[Daves]

Bugger mate, teeth suck. Get them all ripped out! (don't, that sucks worse).

Or sucks better, depending on your definition!

[Jarro]

Sorry guys i'm out now.

[AndyP]

So you were actually in pencil then? It's a shame that we won't be catching up.

[goughy]

Bugger. At least we still need the 3 groups. Slower day, more time to chat.

[Jarro]

[PeteyD]

3 groups of 3. That's a pity.

[goughy]

I pity the poor fools who get paired with me! Haven't hit a ball since I think last year's Leon day, and since then arthritis has hit my hands, worst in the little finger of my right hand. Just grabbed hold of a club, ouch. It'll be a loose grip tomorrow, so beware the flying club!

[AndyP]

I pity the poor food who get paired with me! Haven't hit a ball since I think last year's Leon day, and since then arthritis has hit my hands, worst in the little finger of my right hand. Just grabbed hold of a club, ouch. It'll be a loose grip tomorrow, so beware the flying club!
You don't need to play much to play well. I had the lowest gross score at Boonah.

[goughy]

Yeah, but you're a natural compared to me. Not that I'm worried, I think most that have played with me over the last umpteen years have learnt I enjoy a laugh.
Hit some birdie basis in the back yard. Couldn't even try to grip the club with my normal pressure, but if I hope it completely loose it wasn't too bad.

[AndyP]

My good round also means that my expectations have been raised and I'll now play like a chump.

[goughy]

So my group then??

[BrisWesty]

So do we dare have a 4th come in as a ring in?

[AndyP]

So my group then??
Two groups of four, and you.

Aren't you the group organiser?

[goughy]

Last time. And not really, we'll sort them tomorrow. . You 8 take the carts and I'll walk in a group of my own ;)

[goughy]

Ummm, did I ever post the times for this? 11am rego open, 12pm start.

[AndyP]

I thought it was an 11a start. 12p is a game changer. [emoji6]
I honestly would have turned up at 10:15

[PeteyD]

There's a golf range, restaurant and beer available. I am sure you would survive. I have to drop the kids at school and head on up. Probably be early.

[goughy]

Yeah, I thought it was 11 too. I was gonna get there at 10. I don't think I even read the brochure itself. But I checked and it's the same time as last year.

What time do you think you'll get here Petey? I'll come down and keep you company if your gonna be early. Work is for schmucks (I'm usually a schmuck).

[PeteyD]

Dunno Goughy. I'll post in here. Probably head to the range.

[goughy]

Huh, hitting golfballs. What a novel idea! Actually, I need to check if Kyan has any in his golf bag. He might have a few Laddies in the for me :o

[AndyP]

No issues on the drive with roadworks. At least to Helidon anyway.

[goughy]

What are you doing heading up here so early

[Iain]

Got here about 20min ago. Just saw tezza.

[PeteyD]

Here now

[Eag's]

How did you guys go today?

[shazza_rs]

Had a lot of laughs and got bloody wet!

[Eag's]

Sounds like a typical Oz Golf day to me :lol:

[AndyP]

How did you guys go today?
I played great. My playing partners didn't.

[Eag's]

I played great. My playing partners didn't.

:lol:

[PeteyD]

None of us were near the pointy end. Best gross 59, winner 52.25.

[Eag's]

Bloody hell :shock:

[AndyP]

Andy Iain Goughy: 66 - 59 5/6
Petey Westy Charger: 68 - 58 5/6
Shaz Pete Tez: 69 - 61 2/3

Back to back OZgolf gross wins for me.

[goughy]

We think the guys who won it last year did this year too. And I'm sure the guys who won gross and won that or the net before too.

[Charger]

Good day.

[PeteyD]

It was a good day, despite the friggin rain and the thunder. Good thing Westy played well when we were crap ;)

[goughy]

Geeze it's hard to give a cart away though!

[PeteyD]

True. I think he wanted to tell you to get stuffed, but thought you might go back to work!!

[BrisWesty]

Geeze it's hard to give a cart away though!

I sit for hours in front of a computer screen. If I've got the chance to walk it's great. Besides, PeteyD and Charger needed the second cart more than I did (breakdown on about our 5th hole for the day - ended up in the Marshall's cart - but wasted the opportunity to penalise the groups in front two shots for making us wait.)

[BrisWesty]

It was a good day, despite the friggin rain and the thunder. Good thing Westy played well when we were crap ;)

We all had our craptastic moments! It's just so good to get out onto a course and have a hit!

It's not the thunder I mind. I'm really happy to hear it because it means we haven't been hit by the associated lightning.
