Shared Ball Order

[AndyP]

Guys

I'm running a little low on balls at the moment, and need to buy some more. I usually stock up from Squizzy, but don't like the cost hit of getting the full five dozen you can get to minimise the postage per ball.

Does anyone else in Brisbane want to share an order for the five dozen? I can get two or three or two and a half dozen, it doesn't matter too much.
I don't have a problem with doing the legwork to get them either.

If you want to have a look at his price list, I can forward his latest email on. I'll be mostly getting Precept U-Tri Tours (if available), however the order can have different balls.

Let me know, if you want in.

Non-Brisbane OZgolfers, feel free to use this thread to organise any shared orders for yourselves.

[Courty]

Are these balls new? I've learnt to be wary of "restored/ recovered" balls.

[goughy]

what's the cost of the u-tris andy and what quality do you buy? I may get some and then get them off you at the coast, regardless of whether we get in a game or not.

Can be either, but I've had no problem with the used AA grade.
Here's some recommendations from some other dodgy OZgolfers: http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1042

When I got them in April the AA grade (which I think is fine) were $20 per dozen. AA grade ProV1s are $30 per dozen.
Sound good to you?

[Courty]

OK> I'm willing to give it a go. I'll go in a ProV1 order, but only if I can collect the balls at the Nudgee game in 2 weeks.

[Jarro]

AndyP, could you please forward me the Squizzy email.

I'll take a look and see if there's anything i might want to get.

[Moe Norman]

if there are non water prov1x i might be interested.

[Deano]

AndyP,Can you send me the Squizmail as well thanx?
Deano

[AndyP]

I'll find out how long the order will take to get here, and what the postage is if it's more than five dozen.

Moe, I've got no idea if they are non-water balls. I would assume that they were. Aren't most recovered balls?

I'll forward emails to Deano and jarro.

[poidda]

I'd be keen for a dozen ProV's as well

[Courty]

I'm willing to take a chance on a dozen AA ProV1's at $30 a dozen. :shock: I guess they can'tr be any worse than the few I've played after finding in the bushes...

[AndyP]

takes 3-4 days from NSW, after 5 dozen its $15 for up to 30dozen
Better get this happening quickly so Courty can collect next Friday. Once we are over 5 dozen, we'd need 10 dozen to make it worthwhile.

AndyP: 3 Dozen AA Precept U-Tri Tour
Poidda: 1 Dozen AA Titliest ProV1
Courty: 1 Dozen AA Titliest ProV1

No, not yet.

When is the cutoff ?

[AndyP]

Probably Wednesday to be safe and make sure they are here for Courty.

[BrisVegas]

Andy - the last email I got from squizzy's with ball prices was on the 8th Nov. Can you confirm that the AAA NXT-Tours are still $17 per dozen please...

[Jarro]

How long you been using the NXT's Vegas ?

I used them before i used the X's and found they were quite an underrated ball.

[goughy]

The nxt tour is a good ball. I used them new until I found u-tri tours were only $10 more.

[Jarro]

Can you confirm that the AAA NXT-Tours are still $17 per dozen please...



according to his latest email they are still $17 per dozen for 'AAA' balls

[BrisVegas]

I used them before i used the X's and found they were quite an underrated ball.
I've never really used them before, other than the odd one I found. I've played ProV1's, UTRI-Tours & Laddies mostly for the past couple of years. Just thought I'd give them a try and they're a lot cheaper than even AA ProV1's etc... I get stacks of spin with my wedges anyway, so it's an experiment to see if I can get away with a cheaper ball.

[PeteyD]

Put me down for 2 dozen Nike one black AA at $24 and one dozen nike one Platinum AA at $30.

Pete

[AndyP]

Andy - the last email I got from squizzy's with ball prices was on the 8th Nov. Can you confirm that the AAA NXT-Tours are still $17 per dozen please...
BV, the latest full list email was Nov 8.

PeteyD, your list maintenance work is outstanding.....

AndyP: 3 Dozen AA Precept U-Tri Tour ($20)
Poidda: 1 Dozen AA Titliest ProV1 ($30) + 1 Dozen AA Precept U-Tri Tour ($20)
Courty: 2 Dozen AA Titliest ProV1 ($30)

Moe: ?? 1 Doz AAA Titliest ProV1x ($48)
Jarro: ??

[PeteyD]

One email arrived this morning, which is where I got my prices from.

Sorry AP having a brain dead monday morning. I will endeavour to maintain lists of tour quality in the future.

[AndyP]

One email arrived this morning, which is where I got my prices from.
The email I got this morning only had specials, not the full list. And I can't see the Nike Ones on there anywhere?

I only thought I'd be sharing a ball order with one other person..... Hopefully I see most of you at an OZgolf day soon, so I can get the balls to you promptly.

[BrisVegas]

I don't mind getting my own order Andy, if it's too much hassle to order a huge batch.

[PeteyD]

Weird, I got the whole lot. You want me to forward it to you?

[Jarro]

I'll give this order a miss i think.

Seems you have more than enough interest to get a good deal on the postage.

[PeteyD]

I am happy to order them myself. Let me know what you want to do AP

[AndyP]

I wasn't complaining. I offered.
A huge batch is good, because it really cuts down on postage.

It's only a hassle if people don't pay up. And a hassle for you, if you can't collect them.

Were you just in pencil for this order, jarro?

[AndyP]

Moe, can you please confirm your order, if you are getting something?

[AndyP]

I guess I will order the following then.

AndyP: 4 Dozen AA Precept U-Tri Tour ($20)
Poidda: 1 Dozen AA Titliest ProV1 ($30) + 1 Dozen AA Precept U-Tri Tour ($20)
Courty: 2 Dozen AA Titliest ProV1 ($30)
Goughy: 1 Doz AA precept u-tri tour ($20)
BrisVegas: 3 Dozen AAA Titleist NXT-Tour ($17)
PeteyD: 2 dozen AA Nike One black AA ($24) + 1 dozen AA Nike One Platinum ($30)

[Courty]

Sounds good. Do you need the money now or when I get down there?

[PeteyD]

Bring em to Nudgee next week?

[AndyP]

I will bring them to Nudgee next week.
I can take cash at the Nudgee round, although I'd prefer direct deposit, as I'm not a big cash carrier.

When the order is through and the price finalised, I'll provide details.

[PeteyD]

sweet

[poidda]

Sounds good. Cheers AP.

[AndyP]

Balls on order and payment made. Postage is a round $1 per dozen since I changed my own order to 4 dozen (hopefully I'm still using them this time next year) to bring it to 15 total. If someone else wants that dozen, then let me know, as I don't really need them.

I'll send a PM now with all the payment details. FYI my current home loan interest rate is 7.57%.......

Please leave positive feedback.

[BrisVegas]

payment sent. thanks AP.

[PeteyD]

payment sent. Thanks from me too.

[AndyP]

The balls were waiting at the front door when I got home.

The U-tri Tours looks great. The ProV1s do have some minor marking. I guess that's the nature of the softer ball.

The distribution begins...

[Moe Norman]

AP, I'll take the spare UTri Tours if you don't want them.

i forgot about this thread, I wold have taken some of the X's - my apologies.

[Courty]

Niiiiice. :D

[AndyP]

AP, I'll take the spare UTri Tours if you don't want them.

Righto Moe, they are yours. Sorry you missed out, I had to push the order through so the balls would get here before Courty's arrival.
In the end, the turnaround was super fast, so thumbs up to squizzy.

[PeteyD]

Andy,

Can I organise to pick mine up from your work?

Pete

[BrisVegas]

Yeah Andy - I can pickup from your work too. Or we can meet up for a hot date at that groovy Scottish Restaurant at Central Station. Let me know what you prefer.

[AndyP]

Can I organise to pick mine up from your work?
Yep. I brought yours in today, so it will be sitting here until you collect. Doesn't have to be today, if that doesn't suit.

Vegas, I'll bring yours in tomorrow, so collection is available anytime after.
What scottish restaurant do you speak of? I don't think I have seen it.

[PeteyD]

Send me a pm regarding where I have to go. I'll come over from west end at lunch time.

[BrisVegas]

righto Andy, thanks.

McDonalds.

[AndyP]

Ah, silly me. I've already had my McDonalds for this quarter thanks.

[BrisVegas]

me too. stupidly, I had one of those $5 feeds a couple of months ago. awful. just awful.

[poidda]

Actually AP, can you bring my balls to Nudgy on Friday!

[AndyP]

I should have no problem doing that.

[BrisVegas]

Thanks again Andy. The "AAA" pills are mint. Some of them don't look like they've seen a golf club.

I'll give the NXT Tours a run on Saturday and see just how "bargain" they are. Fingers crossed.

[BrisVegas]

I'll give the NXT Tours a run on Saturday and see just how "bargain" they are. Fingers crossed.

Very hapy with the NXT's. Other than looking a bit "cheaper" than the ProV1, they worked just fine. Plenty of spin, yet solid and straight on the long shots.
