Sunday round tbc at late notice












































For those visiting Royal Adelaide for the first time, or those who need reminding, following is some information for Sunday.

Entrance to the Course is off Tapleys Hill Road, Seaton; between Grange Rd and Trimmer Pde.
The entrance road crosses the 18th fairway. Give way to golfers playing the hole, either wait until they've passed or they wave you across.

RAGC is now cashless so plastic fantastic required for any purchases.
Entry to the Club's daily competition is available, but not compulsory, for those with a valid Golflink #. Entry will cost you $6, register on Pro Shop computer, select White tees when choice of tees option appears.

Dress regulations here;
https://www.royaladelaidegolf.com.au...e-regulations/ (https://www.royaladelaidegolf.com.au/cms/dress-code-regulations/)

I usually get asked about short socks – cover the ankle, the golf club logo doesn’t have to be RAGC. Plain white is ok also. The Pro Shop has socks etc. for sale should you need anything. We won’t be using the dining room so golf attire is fine for the Clubhouse.

Locker room - Shower facilities, Sunscreen and visitor lockers available. There are also non-secure areas to hang clothes.

There is a practice range adjacent to the 1st fairway, self serve range balls are located under the small stand of trees, free of charge.

Our tee times are from 1pm, 3 groups. I’ll endeavor to arrive by noon and should be either in the Pro Shop, Clubhouse verandah adjacent to the practice green or range.

Bar menu (steak sandwiches, burgers, wraps etc.) available prior to hit off. If you plan to order something prior to your round give yourself at least 30 mins leeway.

Course – the rough is down and dried out for the most part. Greens firm and fastish.

Meet on the verandah no later than 12.45 and we’ll work out the seeded draw. Presentations and bullshitting on the verandah at the conclusion.

[Hatchman]

This is on for real now lads.
Mount Compass has been booked for 1pm for 4 groups on the Saturday
I'll chase up a dinner reservation with the club as well.

[marcel]

In for both rounds and dinner thanks

[thecollective]

In (of course) + dinner

See how the numbers go, was considering a team ball on the Saturday but I doubt we can justify it with small numbers

[BobsYourUncle]

In for both, dark pencil for dinner.

[wazamac]

Very light pencil. If available it may only be the one day.
I suppose I better pull the 2020 off the trophies and change to 2021.

Kitchener Cup will still be on Saturday even if there are no Visitors.
I'll do a names from a hat draw to see who ends up a Schnit or a Kitchener for roughly even teams.

Didn't know you could do that with those excellent Trophies you make.
That's great they can be altered so all your time and effort didn't go to waste.

[Flavzz]

I'm in for both days. Might need a fire sale to pay for my entry tho :D Pencil for dinner

[AndyP]

As I said to Hatchy, I'm a chance on this one, but it would only be because it aligns with a work trip. The exact dates of the trip/s are not known yet though.

[DMG]

Pencil for both days... but no dinner unfortunately.

Scratch that. It is my son's birthday on the 13th, so I would be flying back, even if I was down there.

[coalesce]

Pencil for both plus dinner

[Benje]

Sunday probable, not Saturday - Club Opening Day.

[nadg63]

Maybe the Saturday at Mt. C. - depending on rally commitments!?

[Hatchman]

Payments can be made in full or part each week to same acct as last year.
If you need details again let me know.

[Coopers Country]

Is there any point?

[Coopers Country]

And if the poor bugger that needed a work trip to get here cant do it how can I

[jimandr]

2 more days until I can make plans. If the Victorian lockdown situation doesn't result in an outbreak, and cause border closures in Qld and SA, I'll be attending. Pencil for now, with attendance at all dinner events, but I'm thinking I am going to make this. I'll make contact with my accommodation guy on Wednesday, and see whether he has a vacancy so I can use my credit.

I think I'll visit the tractor farming thread, and report back in this thread on Thursday.

[Coopers Country]

I am in for this now have booked accomodation is there a friday game as well?

[marcel]

Nothing organised that I know of but I'm available

[thecollective]

re: Friday round

I might be an in for this, provided it was an afternoon round

Blackwood could be a good option, relatively quiet and beautiful setting in summer

[Coopers Country]

Well apart from you mob that live in Adelaide do you think it is worth me paying accomodation for 3 nights if you cant organise 3 games ?
If not refund me my money and I will just spend a weekend in adelaide , because I have booked my hotel without golfers

[Coopers Country]

And TC I would hardly expect you to put yourself out for anyone you couldnt get something back for

[BobsYourUncle]

I'm up for a round on the Friday. Preferably one I can get home from by 6pm. Blackwood, TTG, Regency Park, or I could host at North Adelaide (south course is in great condition at the moment).

CC you've been a bit cranky lately, something I'm missing obviously?

[Coopers Country]

Um everyone is saying that so obviously I am I will be there on Friday in time for a game if there is one
Doesn’t matter to me if there isn’t I don’t want anyone to put themselves out for a country hick
I will point out this is costing me 3 nights accommodation and I am not coming from interstate
And unlike some of those guys I haven’t been offered free accommodation

Whatever happens happens

[Coopers Country]

Oh and I suggest a change of name for this as it is the Adelaide champs and nothing else

[AndyP]

Adelaide is in South Australia, and since there are no other Champs in the state, I don't think there is any confusion.Mt Compass isn't in Adelaide either.

[thecollective]

Good to see you can make it CC.
I'm on afternoon shift on the Friday which would make me not available for the Friday normally. I need to check out my leave situation if I can get the day off as I've had to use a heap in the last 12 moths for health issues and not sure I have much left.
I'm keen for an afternoon round at Blackwood if I can get the time off.

BYU: If we tee off around 1PM @ BW you should be fine, should be pretty quiet on a Friday arvo. TTG is an option but it's busier and a super long drive for the Southerners

[BobsYourUncle]

I'm happy with blackwood, it's a great course that I've only played once - and I think I have a metro pennants game there a few months later (although the same applies to TTG :))

Porchetta is normally my go to, with a glass of Riesling

[Coopers Country]

So from the last attempt I have paid for a game at Mt Compass a Game at Links lady bay and a game at Royal Adelaide? Not the sharpest tool in the shed but I seem to be missing a round ?

CC: I attempted to refund your money when champs was cancelled from last year, you told me to hang onto it and carry it over for (if there was to be) a/the Friday round

That agreement is still in place, if there is/was not to be a Friday round I will cover it or would personally hand you the $60 paid in cash. Ideally I would have liked to refund you as originally intended as I hate the thought of owing any person or institution money.

Obviously cancelling last year was not ideal, for anyone. Now we are have booked the weekend for March and sowing the seeds to put together a Friday round. I appreciate this may not meet your current expectations but it's the best we can do with the situation at hand

[Coopers Country]

Yeah sorry TC I didnt read the previous posts I am sure it will all work out in the end

[BobsYourUncle]

So are we locking in Blackwood on the Friday? Should we start a separate thread? TC are you organising? ;)

[thecollective]

TC are you organising? ;)

Nah, im nothing but a taker remember....



(yes I will organise)

[MAZA68]

I'll put a light pencil in, not quite sure on our movements around SA as yet.

[Hatchman]

That would be great if you Can make it Maza68.

[jimandr]

I am in!! Flight credit used to book flights, accommodation credit used to book a flat in Glenelg. Arrive Thursday, departure Monday. In for all golf and food. I will submit payment tomorrow if my NBN is fixed (another story).
With vaccines now happening borders should stay open. Yippee 😁

Want to share a cart at Mt Compass? I assume they have them. I struggle with walking three days in a row.

I just looked at the 7 day forecast. Sunday looks horrible. I was hoping to get by without a pair of long trousers, but it seems I'll need to bring them. At least I won't have to worry about the RA clothing policy.

Apart from the Sunday weather, I'm really looking forward to this, and catching up with my SA friends. See you Friday.

[BobsYourUncle]

The forecast I'm looking at has it wetter on Saturday (but cooler on Sunday). Bit of afternoon breeze both days to keep us honest.

We look forward to seeing you Jim. If you need a cart I strongly suggest Compass as it becomes quite undulating in parts.

Blackwood has a couple of steep bits but I personally find Compass more wearing on the body

Yep, definitely White @ RA especially if it gets windy

If we are allowed in the local comp at Compass it may be gold, im easy either way but on black you get some better looking tee shots.

[marcel]

'Royal Adelaide info' thread in this sub forum just updated

[Hatchman]

I've added the update Royal Adelaide info to the this years Champs OP.

If I've updated the table the correctly this is what we have:
8 Players playing the for the Title of 2021 OzGolf S.A Champ and the converted Red Jacket for 12months.
8 Playing Mount Compass on Saturday.
6 staying for Dinner after the Mount Compass game.
9 Playing Royal Adelaide on the Sunday.

Only 3 sleeps to go before the warm up round at Blackwood
With the favorite (Flavzz) a late scratching the title is anyone's.
Can BobsYourUncle now S.A's lowest Hcp marker defend his title or will the ever consistent Marcel use his second day home course knowledge to claim his second S.A Title?
Can someone else have a good couple of days and be a first time winner?

Just a reminder the Kitchener Cup is played in conjunction with Saturdays round. The draw for who helps Jim as Team Schnit will be done at the Blackwood round.
Good luck everyone and have fun playing some of the States best Golf Courses.

[Benje]

Blackwood - the back nine is quite undulating, with climbs on 11, 13, 13 and 18.
Don't take 30 golf balls, 3 jumpers, waterproofs and the big pro bag. Unless you are under 40.

RA will be the least onerous walk of the three courses. Although you may be tired.

See you on Friday and Sunday guys.

Benje

[BobsYourUncle]

RA will be the least onerous walk of the three courses. Although you may be tired.

I'm playing my usual Thursday morning comp too, so it'll be 4 rounds in 4 days for me. Might crack out the black & red on Sunday, will go nicely with the red jacket I'll be wearing home that evening... 8)

[wazamac]

What are the betting odds?
I was thinking the same. BYU or Our Illustrious leader from 2 years ago.

Personally, I will go to water soon as I need to score a card and think about where I need to safely leave my next shot. Haha. 400 to 1 for me

Haha. 400 to 1 for me Hard to go past marcel if he can put a decent score together on Saturday - home course advantage is worth at least 2-3 shots. And TC playing off 14? That's way too high.

[MAZA68]

Have a good weekend lads, hope the weather behaves and the wind stays down.
Although I'm in SA nothing has really worked to fit this into our plans. Between getting the Jeep serviced, doctors appointments and then the long weekend threw a spanner in the works as well.
Heading north on Sunday to take in more of the peninsula's and the rest of SA.

I'll never be a straight down the middle Driver but I don't miss it as badly all day as I did Monday.
Apart from the hosel rocket on the 3rd where I was completely distracted by the hottie in the modeling shoot (my story and I'm sticking to it). That was one of my better chipping days compared a lot recently. Ill stuff a 9 iron chip just as easy as the 48 and 56.

Some good news on my front. I'm now a likely starter for Saturday but will have to be a game time decision for Sunday. That's if there is a spot available.

Had a flat battery and didn’t make it.

[AndyP]

Had a flat battery and didn’t make it. Is marcel the lead suspect?

[wazamac]

Apparently flat battery in his car

[3Puttpete]

It was brutal at Mount Compass for the first round of S.A Champs off the Black Tees.

Scores as follows:
31 Marcel
28 Jimandr
27 BobsYourUncle
25 DMG
25 Wazamac
24 Thecollective
24 Flavzz
22 Hatchman

Today’s the day, only 9 points top to bottom. It’s anyone’s NAGA.

Enjoy it boys.

[BobsYourUncle]

It was tough yesterday. Hopefully not as windy today.

[marcel]

Is marcel the lead suspect?

Correct. CC painted a large target on his back by having 33 points in the warmup event

[Flavzz]

As noted I was doubtful for today and confirming I won't be able to make it. Have a great day all, should be perfect out there today.

Did somebody kill Hatchy?

[Hatchman]

I hurt something in the right wrist during Saturday’s round.
Ice Packs and Brufen couldn’t fix it overnight so had to withdraw injured.
Hand has swollen up and last 2 fingers were going numb just walking around.

[AndyP]

Congratulations, Marcel.

[DMG]

Great weekend! Loved it (despite my new found hatred for Mt Compass!). :wink:

Thanks to everyone who participated, and a huge thanks to Hatchy and whoever else helped putting it together!

Congrats Marcel!

[marcel]

Thanks to everyone who participated in this 'limited field' event. Special thanks to Waza for the trophies, Hatchy for impersonating organiser Nadg (even to the extent of not playing), CC for traveling from a farish flung corner of SA and Jim for the enormous effort of traveling from Ballina.

Signed,
Your champ

Congrats marcel. About time you won it!

[jimandr]

This is a short post to announce that I won the Long Drive prize on 18 today. It's the highlight of my long golf career.

I will make a longer post of congrats and thanks tomorrow.

[thecollective]

Yes a big thanks to Hatchy for organising the event, Waza for the trophies, Marcel & Benje for the invitation to RA & Jim for making the pilgrimage from Ballina.

Despite the poor run of form had a blast as always. To top it off watched a great show last night from Akmal at the Fringe with the wife.

Personally im a big fan of the March dates in comparison to late Nov early Dec.

[Hatchman]

Thanks to all that participated on any/and all of the days and for your company over the 3 days. If I didn't have a hit with you, count yourself lucky you didn't have to watch the chop fest train wreck that is my game these days.
Big thank you to Marcel and Benje for hosting the rest of us at Royal Adelaide. This is always very much appreciated.
Thanks to Thecollective for organizing the warm up round at Blackwood.

Congrats to Marcel and all the daily winners.
Well done Hatchy, TC and all involved in making this possible.
Sorry about bailing early on Sunday, felt like a ton of bricks been dumped on me, kicked in the nuts and hit in the head by a sledgehammer.
Only just woken up to see the news.

Must be that same ton of bricks that was dropped on my wrist Saturday.
I've got a Physio apt tomorrow. Hopefully find out what the hell I've done to it.

Bit disrespectful to the now Two Times Champion

[benno_r]

Bit disrespectful to the now Two Times ChampionYou have to win it twice to be Worthy. Look at the 1 time winners/blow-ins to prove my point.

RA did that to me in 2019. Raised the bat that day. When the wind gets up she's a monster. There's a reason why the winning score was even par at the 98 oz open (and it wasn't just the rough)

[Peppas]

Congrats Terry on the win!

[thecollective]

Was anybody else shouting 'down boy' on #11 second shot?, that tail wind was tough

[wazamac]

I raise the bat every time I play. Had all of the energy zapped out of me after about the 6th hole.

[jimandr]

Was anybody else shouting 'down boy' on #11 second shot?, that tail wind was tough

I slightly mishit my second, it landed 40m short (not far over the waste area) and ran through the back. I also ran through the back on 1, 5 and 17 with clubs two or three less than I've ever hit there before. Strangely, I got the club selection right on the into the wind holes.

Now that I've made it home, here is my appreciation post.

First shout out is to the SA Health Dept. I told the SA guys I had received an SMS on Saturday asking me whether I'd been in some hotspots in Qld, and if I was feeling ill. Today I got another SMS asking whether I'd been in some NSW hotspots. They must think I'm a Covid Chaser, similar to storm chasers, I guess. At least it shows that someone (or some Artificial Intelligence) looks at the border declarations.

Once again, this was an excellent championships, made so by the people involved. My thanks to all, and I hope you have many more. My attendance is almost a certainty unless some world-wide emergency prevents me from attending.

I loved the conditioning of Blackwood, and particularly the fairways of Royal Adelaide. A number of times I felt I was on a putting green, not a fairway, and I thought there was no way I could hit a bad shot from a lie like this.

I thought the March date was a success, although I couldn't tell much difference with the weather. Last time I attended there was a 34 degree day followed by a strong southerly and 19 degrees for two days, and it was the same this time. I'm not fussed regarding the date. It is the SA Champs, and it is what you guys want that matters. But, as I said, the course conditions were great this time around.

[coalesce]

Bit disrespectful to the now Two Times Champion

That was the joke!

I’ll put my hand up next time to make it clearer... :)

Radial ulna ligament strain is the diagnosis.

[thecollective]

Radial ulna ligament strain is the diagnosis.

you need one of those hand/thumb braces, either that or DIY strap. Youtube have some great tutorials on it

[DMG]

Radial ulna ligament strain is the diagnosis.

Any indication on how long you're out for mate?

[Hatchman]

Any indication on how long you're out for mate?

2-3 weeks it should be fine.

[Flavzz]

Radial ulna ligament strain is the diagnosis. Glad it's nothing more serious mate. Rest up and keep your wrist activities to a minimum! ;)

Was anybody else shouting 'down boy' on #11 second shot?, that tail wind was toughAfter almost trickling over the edge with my 1st last time I played the 11th, I was more worried about that shot with the tail wind. As you can see, none of us had to worry though! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210317/5d9849cb437c6965d4b2eb3a66418349.jpg

drive over the hill to the edge, wedge to 15 feet, holed the putt, and saluted the crowd back on the hill.

I wasn't even dreaming. Just like I used to play #11 at RA 40 years ago (albeit with a 3-wood off the te then)
