2019 Leon Treadwell Memorial Golf Day, Toowoomba City GC, Friday, April 12, 12p

[AndyP]

How many teams will we get travelling up the hill this year for this ambrose event?

This thread is for putting your name down for the golf day. There is another thread for the fundraising: https://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php/55134-Leon-Treadwell-Memorial-2019-Pledger-Ledger

At this stage, all I have is the date. Hopefully some more details come through soon.

I'll have a go as well.

[Jono]

It usually starts around 11am, right?

I might fly in Friday morning and stay till Saturday.

Anyone keen on a game somewhere the next day?

If I play I’d be keen Jono. Will try and line it up with a work trip.

[benno_r]

If I play I’d be keen Jono. Will try and line it up with a work trip.I could be keen on this well. Surely somewhere in Brisbane would take us on a Saturday.

[PeteyD]

Used to be no chance, but I'd say you might get on somewhere these days.

[benno_r]

Used to be no chance, but I'd say you might get on somewhere these days.There'll always be Brooky, or **shudder** North Lakes...

[goughy]

Might be worth contacting Toowoomba Golf Club at Middle Ridge and check. It's the other course in town and is a great walk.

[AndyP]

The starting time was 11a last year.

I won't be able to play a round the next day, as I'm off to a musical. I might try and squeeze a country nine in again on the Friday morning, like I did last year though.

or **shudder** North Lakes...

I can punch you in the gooch for far less than North Lakes will charge you, and it'll be a far more enjoyable experience.

[benno_r]

I can punch you in the gooch for far less than North Lakes will charge you, and it'll be a far more enjoyable experience.Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking?!?!

[Daves]

I won't make this one. We will be on a Cruise and won't get back till Friday night.

[PeteyD]

Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking?!?!

Unemployment is starting to bite ...

[goughy]

I know you asked them for more info on FB Andy. They're in the process of moving their HQ this week so they might take a bit to get back to you.

It is a bit concerning that we haven't seen entry forms 5 weeks out from the event. Is there anything that you can chase up at your end, maybe the golf club? I pulled the date above from a foundation letter that is probably a couple of months old.

There’s nothing on the foundations website mentioning the golf day in 2019.

I pulled the date above from a foundation letter that is probably a couple of months old. I'll put it in my diary to get in touch on the 7th. That's when they said they would up and going in their new offices. They said contact would be scant between now and then, and posted up a phone number for urgent contact.

[AndyP]

There’s nothing on the foundations website mentioning the golf day in 2019.
It was an old-fashioned paper newsletter with the dates for all of their upcoming events.

[goughy]

Just had a chat, they have only just gotten in and setting everything up. They're going to email me some info as soon as they can, but it didn't sound like the entry forms were out yet. I'll forward anything I get on to Andy.

[Jono]

So it’s definitely on 12th April?

[peter_rs]

I assume so

[AndyP]

So it’s definitely on 12th April?
I wouldn't say definitely.

[AndyP]

Leah has confirmed that it is April 12, so now we are waiting on the entry forms.

[AndyP]

Still no entry forms, but it doesn't really matter, as goughy or I can just call the club to book us in.

Some details have been posted though, including a start time of 11a.


Tickets are $60 and include 18 holes of golf, share platter, complimentary drink ticket and goodie bag.

If you are after a cart, we should get that sorted early too, as they can be difficult to get. I owe goughy a cart, and I do probably need one this year, but he has snobbed me, so I could share with someone else.

[benno_r]

Is this a hard walk, using an electric buggy?

[PeteyD]

It's fairly hilly.

[3Puttpete]

Is this a hard walk, using an electric buggy?

Not hard but will be 5+ hours

[AndyP]

I would only get one because I'm a cripple.

[Jono]

Sorry guys, I’m out. Hopefully next year. 😞

[goughy]

Even us snobs are cripples these days!

[AndyP]

I will give the club a call soon to book groups. 10 isn't a very good number for three groups though. Anyone else in or out?

[AndyP]

Hi all. I've booked three groups, all in my name. Two groups will start on 13, and the other will start on 18 (14 was an option, but I thought a shorter walk might be better). I can change if we want three groups in a row.

I also booked one cart for myself, so if you want a cart, we need to book it ASAP, as there are only a couple left.

It is a 12p shotgun start, but we need to get there a decent amount of time before that, as usual.

Here's what I currently have for numbers. Hopefully we can get a couple more, or else it is two groups of three.

I would like a cart please

[BUSHY]

Sorry Andy I’m definitely out. My mum will be visiting from Perth and I’ve been advised by the wife that “I’m not going to Brisbane for work under any circumstances”

[benno_r]

Logistics dictates I'll be the odd man out, so no dramas to drop me to make a neat 8

[goughy]

Looks like I've got the last two booked in my name. We'll sort them out on the day.

Benno, we've had to play in groups of 3 before due to drop outs.

[AndyP]

I would like a cart please
You're in my team then, bud.


Sorry Andy I’m definitely out. My mum will be visiting from Perth and I’ve been advised by the wife that “I’m not going to Brisbane for work under any circumstances”
Understood. We'll miss you.


Logistics dictates I'll be the odd man out, so no dramas to drop me to make a neat 8
Let's wait and see. It is easier to drop a group, than add one, and I need to see what a sports doctor thinks about my playing golf. The appointment is next Tuesday.


Looks like I've got the last two booked in my name. We'll sort them out on the day.You booked another two carts? Both for your group then?

[AndyP]

Okay, I work differently to you. I was only booking carts for people that requested them. I thought you may have had some more secret communications with your team.

[Iain]

Sorry guys. I’ll have to pull out.

[AndyP]

Sorry guys. I’ll have to pull out.
Bum! We'll have to catch up another time.

Benno_r is back!!

Team A
Goughy
Peter_rs
Shazza_rs
Tezza

Team B
AndyP
PeteyD
henno
Benno_r

It almost seems unfair with how superior Team B is.

[goughy]

Whichever team I'm in automatically drops to the bottom!

When they said they had only two left I just booked 'em. Didn't figure they'd end up hard to offload in an Ambrose event...... Although, last year I couldn't give one away and pretty much had to twist your arm to take it! Westy refused it as well.

[terryand]

You're a champion Goughy.

[goughy]

No I'm not! I might be in trouble with this! Got Tim Minden at QPAC that night, suppose to be heading down in the arvo..... Wonder how my playing partners would feel if I ditched the last few holes???

[AndyP]

I doubt that you would be missed for golf or your company.

[goughy]

(a tear slowly drops from his eye)
A Subtle gulp can be heard

[Grunt]

:( but I will be there in spirit and actually playing golf in QLD too. Is just I will be in Townsville.

[goughy]

Just noticed on the Facebook page that it lists the start time as 11am?

[AndyP]

That's what I initially listed it as. I'm pretty sure the pro shop said 12, as well.

[goughy]

Yeah, Leah just posted another flyer on Facebook that said rego from 1q, 12pm start. May not be able to make the full 18, depending on negotiations!

[AndyP]

You only have to play the first four holes, so they can use your drives.

[goughy]

They'll need 36 holes to get 4 worthwhile drives though...

[AndyP]

A setback with my injury, but I didn't specifically ask the doctor if I could play golf. Since he didn't say that I couldn't play golf, I'll take that as meaning that I can play next week.


This is a last call for any players. Briswesty has said that he is interested in playing, but that would have us as a nine, which doesn't work, so if we could get a couple more, it would be great. Otherwise, I will release the third group in a couple of days.

[goughy]

OT, what's happening with your injuries these days?

[goughy]

I've been chatting with Shaz about me having to leave early. Not that that was an issue for them, but if we've got 9, I think I should step down and westy take my spot. I'll still be down there regardless; I'm sure I can help out with stuff or something. But I feel rude and like I'm letting the group down having to choof off before the day is done.

He posted on the OZgolf Facebook post about the day. Do you want to touch base with him to see how likely he is, before pulling the pin yourself?

[goughy]

Already have, and to Shaz

[AndyP]

OT, what's happening with your injuries these days?They don't fix good. On-going pelvis pain for seven months now, that was diagnosed as mainly osteitis pubis (bone stress, muscle and pubic symphysis joint inflammation), but hasn't improved enough. I had a sports doctor look at the previous MRI yesterday and he found a bonus injury in there (secondary cleft for another muscle tear), that might explain it.

It's all happening in the downstairs department.

[AndyP]

Third group released into the wild. Just the two groups now, both off 14.

[goughy]

I'll spend my time wandering between the two groups until I have to go.

[henno]

I would like a cart please

Do you need a cart buddy? I'll go halvsies.

[AndyP]

Do you need a cart buddy? I'll go halvsies.
I'd assumed that Petey was jumping in the cart that I had. Goughy booked two other carts, but I think they might be for the other group. Goughy, can you confirm that this hasn't changed with your withdrawal?

[henno]

Understood. Happy to walk; the whole picture didn't present itself when reading through the thread.

[goughy]

Yep, the others are keen for their carts!

I'll keep you company henno.

[benno_r]

What time is everyone getting there? And is there a range?

[goughy]

Not much of a practise range at the course, but there is a driving range across the road. Only hybrids and irons for guys though.I'm guessing I'll get down three around 11ish

[PeteyD]

Aiming for 11ish. The range is ok to warm up on if that is your thing for an Ambrose.

[AndyP]

Somewhere around 11a for me too, but no driving range. I tend to just faf about on the putting green.

[henno]

Somewhere around 11a for me too, but no driving range. I tend to just faf about on the putting green.

Same here. I'll faff about with you.

[AndyP]

It almost seems unfair with how superior Team B is.
Wrong! I'm shattered.

Well done to the other team on their fourth place, and beating our nett score with their gross score.

[shazza_rs]

So 58/50 and 3/4 (on a countback) was good enough for fourth place.

Thanks to Westy, Tezza and Pete for their company today. We all combined pretty well today.

[goughy]

Ya's were going well, from what I could see.......

[shazza_rs]

Ya's were going well, from what I could see.......

How’s the eye? Will you be able to see the concert tonight?

[goughy]

Literally just stopped feeling scratchy, and only a little watery!Wet at the soccer?

[benno_r]

Thanks for a good day out team. Deadly tee to green, but putt like 2018 Spieth. Not a bad track either.
