In if in December.

[Hatchman]

Good to see all the early interest.
Looks like one the 3 December dates is the go.
As the weeks roll on we will look at starting to narrow it down.

With no new additions to the vintage blades collection I’ll have to use a set I’ve used before or go a bit chunkier with the Callaway S2H2 irons.

Nice. I have a set of McGregor persimmons that will make their first Xmas mug appearance.

I look forward to having a look.

We used to play the short course at The Pat with only 3 clubs, was always good for a laugh :)

Playa!

[thecollective]

Maybe that should be one of the wildcards, or at least one of the holes (single club challenge). Perhaps a hole with no water carry and no bunkers

[BobsYourUncle]

Can I make a push for the 12th? The 5th is looking hard for me.

[thecollective]

I was planning on being in Melbourne but that’s up in the air at the moment.

How about the 19th?

[BobsYourUncle]

19th would be OK too.

[Hatchman]

It's looking like the 19th is the go.
Are there any objections to Sun 19th?

[thecollective]

Lock it in Eddie

[DMG]

Should be good for me.

[Flavzz]

I have a family Xmas show on the 19th but don't change it just for me.

[nadg63]

So has this been confirmed as being on the 19th?

[thecollective]

Correct 19/12

I'm in if you wanna update the OP...

[thecollective]

Gents,

Do we want to play the skins game without real money this year?

I’m not bothered either way, regardless I will keep score


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[BobsYourUncle]

I like the skins format for this (with the NTPs). Don't care if it's real money or not, happy to go with whatever the consensus is.

[thecollective]

Skins format will always be locked in

I just can’t be bothered asking for money

I'm in light pencil for this now

Skins game is locked in, of course

Confirming I'm out :(

[Hatchman]

I've edited the title to reflect the the date and time.
Sorry I've been a bit absent lately. I've got a bit going on and it's harder to get computer time at work now days.

[Hatchman]

Who’s in for lunch at Gumeracha Hotel afterwards?
I haven’t booked anything yet but would like to by end of this week.
The meals last year were top notch and they were busy so I hope I haven’t left it too late.

[thecollective]

In, I will need to leave by 1PM at the absolute latest

[Hard_Pan]

We normally get around Kenton pretty quick. If we can start at 12 won’t be an issue

Take your own beaker and straw, then get them to put your lunch through a blender for the journey home! Sorted :)

[nadg63]

Has 8.30am been confirmed as the start time with KVGC?

[marcel]

Apologies, I'm a definite non starter.

When Tiger won the masters in 2002, the chairman presented the jacket, because as the previous winner Tiger could hardly present it to himself. I bring this up because I'm wondering who'll present the mug to me on Sunday after I go back to back? 8)

As my wife donated the mug in the first place, (I'm pretty sure I never paid her back for it :lol: ) I'll present it on her behalf :)

[Hatchman]

As a 2x winner myself I can’t remember who presented it the second time.

[BobsYourUncle]

As a 2x winner myself I can’t remember who presented it the second time. Yeah I knew you'd got 2 in a row, but i felt the tiger comparison made for better trash talk :)

[Hatchman]

This is what the line up looks like for Sunday.
Anyone apart from Nadg not joining for lunch at the Gumeracha Hotel after?

I'm planning on staying for lunch, as long as I've recovered from my current cold.

[DMG]

I'm out now sorry lads... hope you all have a great round!

[BobsYourUncle]

That's a shame, it's a great event/day

Was looking forward to it mate... just a bad time of year, and with COVID rearing it's ugly head again...

Yeah, fair enough. We've had to change a bunch of plans too.

[Hard_Pan]

In for lunch.

In for lunch (over my cold, not covid if anyone was worried)

[Hatchman]

Thanks for the game today everyone.
Having a good time with friends is something I’ve really needed.

The Xmas Mug went down to the wire. Nadg jumped out as clear leader at the turn after 3 birdies on the front 9 taking outright Skins. Hatchman and BYU slowly clawed back the lead.
BYU and Hatch halved the 18th with pars after both hit the green in reg. The halved skin was enough for BYU to tie Nadg for the lead. The title was was decided with a closest to the Pin chip off from 10m with BYU coming out the victor.
Congratulations BYU defending his tile.

[Hatchman]

The Beef Short Ribs at Gumeracha Hotel were fantastic.

[BobsYourUncle]

Thanks everyone. I was silly enough to order something else, but I think the beef ribs were the clear winner of the day.

[DMG]

Congrats BYU! Well done Nadg for taking it to a playoff!

[nadg63]

Another great morning with good company at the annual Xmas Mug round at KVGC. I peaked too early, although admittedly it was more arse than class - consecutive birdies with a chip in 2 followed by a distance putt for another 2 on the next hole. Decided to hit my two worst tee shots of the round on the final two holes, but such is life! Well done BYU, on for the 3-peat next year!?

Looks like a great day had by all. Really jealous I missed out. Well done BYU. Sad to hear my fellow TPGC member couldn't bring home the mug however ;)

[thecollective]

Thanks for the hit guys, scorecard below. I know it shows Marcel / Flavzz / DMG, I just could not be bothered removing the names and then having to import it all back in again for next year

Also apologies Nadg for not getting it up and down on the last, I really should have done that for you mate (considering where I was on the green). Im still a bit rusty from lack of regular play:

Forgot to mention thanks TC for running the score sheet again.
KVGC is such a great course for playing this format.
It’s still the S.A OzGolf game I look forward to the most.

Good to hear you got out there and enjoyed your hit Hatch. Based on the enjoyment level of this style of event it could warrant maybe one addition style event throughout the year.. possibly May/June before it gets too wet. Even something at the Semaphore par 3 or the like would be great for pure fun factor.

Essentially that's why I wanted to try the BBB format as we can play it on a full size course with no handicaps
