Alo-Jono Anti-Ho pact

[Jono]

Just came up with this in the chatroom this morning. Alo and I both agreed that we need to cut down on ho'ing and work on our games.

Here's the deal. Neither of us are allowed to buy another club until I get down to 7 and Alo gets down to 18 handicap.

Buying balls and accessories is allowed (e.g. wet weather gear, buggy, gloves, etc). Reshafting is allowed. Selling is allowed. Swapping is NOT allowed.

If either of us break this pact, there is a penalty of 1 dozen brand new balls, brand of winner's choice.

We are going to do a inventory check tonight and will write down all the clubs we own at the moment. If anyone sees a club that is not in the list either in Alo's bag or my bag, please report here. Might get you a sleeve of brand new Pro V1x's ... ;)

[Grunt]

If one of you fails this test I will not be surprised.

[Jarro]

Good luck to both of you

.. i think you'll need it ;)

[3oneday]

Gee, and I had some really good bargains coming up too !!!!!!

Oh well....

[Jono]

Wow...deja vu all over again !

Yep. And I'm hoping history will repeat itself for Alo ... Brand new dozen of HX Tour, here I come ... 8)

Wonder if A-Lo got the FT-3 he was after on ISG? :roll:

[AndyP]

Ask Kee if he got his dozen balls.

It will only be a matter of time for either of you.

[3oneday]

Jono, if you are quick, you may be able to add the items to the inventory.

Look, just exchange balls and be done with it. You both know you got NO chance of sticking to this :smt002

[connico]

no chance, but ill give Jono 2-1 odds if anyone is up for it...

[PeteyD]

This has about as much hope of success as the anti-tampering rules in the NRL did

[miro]

Whats more I don't think either of them have thought about how long it will take to get to their handicap goals. If this had started in the era of persimmon drivers and gutta percha balls I suspect they might still be playing them, unable to upgrade to titanium and surlyn, because their handicaps had not budged an inch.

[Jono]

Yeah ... but I won't let my wife beat me off the stick ... :oops: :lol:

[miro]

Jono,

May I say that you own some of the crappiest golf clubs made by man kind. No wonder that pretty swing of yours is not yielding results. Get some decent gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh thats right you can't! :)

PS Alison hasn't beaten me off the stick for at least 3 weeks (i haven't played with her since).

Fishy,

I salute you -very funny!

[markTHEblake]

Jono, you are obviously a very astute purchaser. Unlike all these other nobheads that get sucked in by marketing hype over and over and over.

[AndyP]

So when does the sale start, Jono?

[Jono]

If anyone is interested in any of the items "in the closet" ... I can do a very good price ... ;)

[AndyP]

What about a trade?

[Speirsy11]

I think this thread deserves an update weekly from all participants. Can I also get involved? I'll stop hoíng until I get off 1.......Does the first to succeed get the balls from the other? So if A-Lo makes it to 18 he gets a dozen from Jono and vice versa?

If not these two, does anyone else want to set up a challenge? As you can see I'm short on motivation right now.......

Anyone?

[Jono]

What about a trade?

What about trading blows? :smt021


:lol:

[Speirsy11]

Please ignore my previous post if you and Andy are talking about exchanging anything with blow in it.

As if one dozen golf balls as a penalty is going to stop you bunch of club-whores.

How about make it BEER for a month and i'm in.

[Moe Norman]

both handicaps are attainable, but its harder to get to 7 from 10 than it is from 21 to 18.

"I lost to Ducky in a long drive competition, and all I got was this crappy signature!"

Sorry, thought I would get you use to it in advance, Jono.

:lol:

[AndyP]

So where's A-Lo's inventory?

And Jono's new and improved inventory?

[Jarro]

better check what TS has in the closet as well ;)

[billybaub]

this is classic

how many clubs do you want to have...you can only carry 14...few spares that might go in an out like a lob wedge, 2 iron and hybrid...what else do you need

[AndyP]

I heard that A-Lo carries 18 in his bag actually.

I did the "stock take" on a piece of paper but Christine chuck it to somewhere and don't know where it is now.

(We suspect its the piece of paper she wrote on the back on Sunday for the shopping list.... and I throw it in the bin after finish shopping.

: p

Will do another stock take this weekend.

I believe Jono is a man of honour and I think he won't do the back door thing.


By the way, I am carrying 17 clubs... but it just for HOing around. 14 is just NOT enough for HOing

As if any of us took this pact seriously anyway.

Last i knew Kee had an internet connection :p

A-Lo - just add $100 to your costs and haggle away. That's the going rate of premium balls ;)

[andylo]

...... :roll:

[Fishman Dan]

That's possibly the most interesting thing you've posted for some time :lol:

That's OK Alo ... WE know what we agreed on. 8)

Now hurry up and post your list of current clubs. :roll: :lol:

OK ... Alo. I've now got one hand in my Ho'ing pocket again. I'm 0.8 shot from being able to Ho again. You haven't even posted your list yet. :roll:

If you are not going to take this seriously, you may as well give me the box of Pro V1's now ... ;)

[AndyP]

I think he should be DQ'd.
But can we just have a check of your bag first, Jono?

[Fishman Dan]

I'm declaring myself as independent arbitrator and I concur, A-Lo, you're a cheat. You've had far too long to declare your wares. Jono is the winner. 12 premium balls (and that's NEW balls, tightar$e) are due.

Jono - hold onto my sleeve until i play with you next time ;)

[andylo]

You haven't even posted your list yet. :roll:


My bad....

Really am too busy to doing detail counting and stuff but..

Here's the list

Whatever you see in my signature + set of ram + mizuno 1,3,5 wood + 2 * 14Golf proto 3 wood + rossa belly putter + yes putter + ben hogan apex + extra 588 + another 2 wedge but forget the name but all 60* I think + some japanese driver head (Yland?) + .... :roll: I dunno... that's for now.

[Fishman Dan]

And you're having to discipline yourself from buying MORE clubs?! :shock:

[AndyP]

Really am too busy to doing detail counting and stuff but..

No more than 15 minutes of your time needed. Jono made the effort. Cut back on a range session or some ebay browsing or something.

[jaster]

Rofl this thread cracks me up.

[Jarro]

it is rather mildly amusing i must admit.

I wonder if golfer69 and FishmanDan will have such a pact one day soon ;)

[brad]

This is hilarious :)

As someone that only just found this thread, Alo is looking a little guilty ....

[jaster]

I agree Brad ;) You love me Alo :p

[Fishman Dan]

We already have one. First to buy one of A-Lo's preloved clubs has to buy the other a Humble Pie prior to the December Ocean Shores Blue Marker.

So far we've both been extremely disciplined.

[jaster]

Hmm...a December Ocean shores...I think I'd be up for that..is there a 1st tee?

[AndyP]

You'll be getting up at 2am to leave from Toowoomba if it's anything like last year.

[Jarro]

every year we go there and try and dig 5 of golfer69's HOT DOTS outta the pond on the 2nd :)

[Fishman Dan]

Stay down in Ocean Shores or Brunswick Heads the night before - you deserve the holiday!!

No 1st tee yet Jaster, and they don't open the tee sheet until the previous BM is over. I'll get onto it then, although after the slight shamozzle last year i'm either calling all the shots or none.

Have you considered that Andy is now on a strict time budget and cannot afford the extra 15 minutes to catalogue his equipment.:smt002

[Jarro]

..and another thing...information coming in from another 13 racked up at gailes a few weeks ago.

Man I will do the stay and play package..I'm sure I can get a few of you interested :)

[Jarro]

i just drive down on the morning Jaster

it's probably not much further for you than it is for me ;)

it's worth the drive just to catch up with my old mate Fishy 8)

** just checked on the RACQ travel planner ;) .... Toowoomba -> Ocean Shores ... 251Kms ..3.29 Hrs
D'Bay -> Ocean Shores ..... 185 Kms ... 2.35 Hrs ....


oops !!

[AndyP]

Last year. 7:30am NSW time tee off -> 6:30 Qld -> 4:15am leave. Or something like that. Earlier from Toowoomba. Best you don't drive down on the morning, jaster.


...although after the slight shamozzle last year i'm either calling all the shots or none.
What shamozzle, Fishy?
http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3448&page=6
Or do you mean shamozzles?

Yes, this is off-topic, but I've said it once, I'll say it again, this pact is a joke......

[Fishman Dan]

Let's just say that prior to this years event the players groups, tee times and carts will be drawn in cement, and there will be no negotiation.

Don't really care for explaination but its boring at Friday arvo...

Pull a few shaft from MP001 3 wood, Steelhead III 7 wood and the Hogan 27*.... going to put a Irod Fairway/Hybird into the 7 wood and Hybird and a another steel shaft... maybe TX90 into the MP001.

[Jono]

... but its boring at Friday arvo...

Pull a few shaft ...

I thought you wouldn't have to do that anymore now that you're married ... ;) :lol:

No, thats exactly when happens when you're married (or so I hear).

[Fishman Dan]

I'm just glad we got the explaination. I was beginning to worry about this 'bet' losing credibility.

[Moe Norman]

i can confirm it merely involved shaft pulling.

that sounds bad, but its the truth !

[jaster]

At least there was only pulling, anything else would have been very suss :p

No. What sounds bad is when you say his handicap out aloud after the list of clubs he owns..

I am looking forward the day to tell you shut up when my handicap is lower than you ;)

And it will come soon....

[Fishman Dan]

You can tell me to shut up before then if you like.

My handicap may stay at around 17 for the rest of my life, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. If you think having a lower handicap means you're a better golfer then you're playing for the wrong reason IMO.

In the meantime, keep up your thrice weekly range sessions and i'm sure it won't take long.
