Christmas Mug

[marcel]

This has snuck up.
December 3, 10 or 17 at Kenton Valley, anyone interested and available?

[Hard_Pan]

Snap! I was thinking about this today as well.
Any of those days are OK by me so far.

[Hatchman]

17th is the only one no good for me.
Hopefully I'm injury free by then too.

[thecollective]

Dec 10 is good for me.

Was really hoping we could get some good numbers for lunch and go to Lot 100.

Casual lunch is $55 per person so not breaking the bank

Went to look Lot 100 up ……… do I detect a family connection/interest?

Casual lunch is a set menu which as a general rule does not fit well with this fussy eater.

[thecollective]

lol, no connection. It’s mainly wood fired pizza, open to any option that doesn’t include the words Lobethal Hotel in them. Happy to go back to the Gumma for some smoked ribs again

Unfortunately I'm still unable to play due to that stupid post-Covid thing I have :(

[DMG]

Pencil for me! 3rd or 10th likely my better options.

May need a HP ride. ;)

Sounds like a goer to me

Looks like we have the day picked, looking forward to it.
Now for a decision on lunch. What's everyone's thoughts?
Lot 100 or Gumeracha Pub?
My preference for lunch would be the Gumeracha Pub but more than happy to go to Lot 100 if that's what the majority prefer. We would need to book this soon either way.

There's a fair chance I'll have Little Miss Hatch (not so little anymore) with me if she's happy to walk.
I've also got some Vintage Hogan Apex 1999 irons to debut this year.

[Hard_Pan]

Really looking forward to this.

Lunchwise, I'm not fussed where we go.

DMG, no problems with getting you there and back mate.

[DMG]

Sweet!

Lunch - I will follow HP... for obvious reasons.

Thanks HP!

Hi all, referred here by DMG, he can vouch for the type of rubbish that I hit!

I would be interested in the 10th if there's still a spot.

Cheers,

Thought there may have been a new member of the North Haven Mafia :D

[Hard_Pan]

I do try to get new members on the Ozgolf train.. Just so everyone knows.. :)

BTW, is the Christmas ball making another appearance this year? Score to beat is 77 off the stick.

I'll bring it along just in case. :)

[marcel]

I’ll book the golf. What time?

[Hatchman]

I’ll book the golf. What time?

8:30 is the time we usually aim for from memory.

Anymore discussion on lunch? We need to set which venue and numbers so that can be booked.

8:30AM was last year, and seem to be a good time to play, so go with that!

Apologies, Ive had a horrid week with illness and organising hot fixes with India for new version ****ups

Missed the boat with Lot100, unless you want the full dining experience. Not for this group, too much whining :mrgreen:

Gumma booked out

Bierhaus is booked, Marcel, Hippo and I went last year and it was awesome. It's not as fancy as you think so ive taken the initiative and already booked 6 ppl for 12 noon.

Website is here: https://bierhaus.com.au/restaurant/

Will leave the golf booking with Marcel, 8:30AM was last year and seem to be a good time

Looking forward to it, rocking the PING's this year, Eye2 and a BeCu putter I forgot about that hasn't been used since 2007. Wooden spoon will be all mine with that putter!

I only have one set of clubs these days! Not sure I even belong here anymore...

[nadg63]

If the weather is good I might call by if I'm out on the Ducati .................

One of us, one of us, one of us.

I think I have enough to make up for a few that only have one set.

[Benje]

DMG

you can borrow a set of ping eye 2 and a berylium ping pal putter, including ping 1 and 4 woods if you like.
Let me know sooner rather than later so I can organise someone like Marcel to take them.

I'm not playing

Benje

[Hatchman]

Little Miss Hatch will be along for the walk so will be joining us for lunch.
Do you need book for another spot for lunch TC?

[dakuth]

Hey blokes,

I'm another DMG referral -- am I too late to tag along? Unrelated note, is there a prize for wooden spoon? That's my jam.

Annnd, no sooner do I post than I find out from the Master of Ceremonies that the thing we're going to this weekend, which I was told was Saturday the 9th, is in fact for Sunday the 10th :(

Unfortunately that means I have to drop out as quickly as I signed on. Sorry guys!

Unhappily I’ve found myself triple booked for Sunday so won’t make it to Kenton to defend The Mug. TC will have the much sought trophy to award on the day

Now if everyone else could drop out I may actually be up for a win!

[Bliss79]

Thanks guys, look forward to the round and meeting you all on Sunday.

Cheers.

[DMG]

Weather looking pretty crap... but still looking forward to a swing!

[nadg63]

Having just looked at the BOM forecast you guys might want to re-schedule this - 8-45mm of rain is what they’re saying (on top of 8-25mm on Saturday!)

I'm cool with this... bit of rain is OK, but this much (if it happens) ain't so fun!

[thecollective]

It’s a cheap green fee, so if it pours we will call it a wash out then head to the cafe in Lobethal for a chin wag, closely followed by lunch at Bierhaus

In saying this though I’m happy to re-schedule if that’s what my namesake agree on, let’s put it to a vote

Thanks TC, good call.

I vote reschedule.

[Hard_Pan]

Weather in Adelaide is sooo fickle. The forecast could be for a tornado but on the day, bright sunny day.
I'm happy to go with the flow (no, pun intended). If we choose to postpone, it might give Marcel and dakuth another bite at the cherry.

[thecollective]

If there is lightning forecasted we should not play. Being situated in the hills and on that exposed course with lots of metal potentially a big risk. At the moment just rain forecasted

I think we Cowboy it, turn up and see what happens, just like one of my old workplaces

I'm in for take my chances and hope it's ok on the day.
I'm a definite out for the following weekend if it's rescheduled and then it's chaos weekend a couple of days before Xmas which I would be surprised if that days ok with anyone. Then we are into January which we have done before when the fires ripped through the hills over 2-3 weeks in a Decemeber.

[DMG]

Forecast of rain has already been reduced slightly... so yeah, let's just head out and see what happens!

[Bruce]

I should have looked at this thread earlier. I'm in ADL this weekend and should have brought my clubs.

Apologies team, I have been crook most of this week and still not feeling up to scratch. Probably the smarter decision to sit this round out, but hope to get out for a round in future.

Best of luck out there, hope the weather holds off for you.

Cheers

[Hard_Pan]

Snorkels at the ready?

I feel it in my fingers...

It's going to be wet, wet, wet.

[Hatchman]

Not the best conditions we’ve had for this event which is unusual for this time of year unfortunately.
We may have got wet but still loads of fun.
Thanks TC, HP and DMG for the game.

Final scores, congratulations to Hatchy on the win58401

Thanks fellas. I agree with the comments above. It was great to have hit with you again.

Blitzed them on the back 9. Well done Hatch!

Handled the wet better than the 3 of us, we were all struggling to hold onto our clubs

[DMG]

Hatchy was having a not so secret love affair with his Hogan's!

I didn't have any grip issues.
Somehow I've managed to play reasonably well most of my Golfing life when it rains. I tend to swing easier which works well against my tendency for quick tempo issues normally.

I didn't think anyone was watching :oops:.
They were so pure to hit. As a big Hogan fan since starting out as a junior I don't know why it's taken so long to game some Hogan Clubs. Need to find a Shimada Tour K shaft for that 4 iron head and a matching 3 iron would be nice too.
Got me all excited to put together the Apex Edge heads only I bought last year. These have Modus 120's assigned for them.

Nah. Been a Vic pretty much all my life, but I did grow up in Mildura so Adelaide was the closest capital.
I come over because my partner works in Adelaide.

Congrats on winning the Xmas Mug for a third time Hatchy.
