Listed here are latest quotes and form guide from the Betting Ring at G69.Sportspunt. Dial 1800-69LOSER

Pricing revised in RED.

Name, Handicap, Odds, Form.

1. golfer69 (10) 50:1 Will struggle with the responsibility of organising event and equal favourite to hand himself the spoon at the presentations.

Scratched -possibly pregnant.

2. jaster (3) 5:1 Solid performer at home, may struggle with travel and hangover.

Scratched - Termites ate his favourite driver.

3. tez (5) 10:1 Not as many lakes as at home, but the trees will still be a problem

8:1 Still playing crap but the weakened field improves his chances

4. Iain (16) 8:1 past winner at Southport but who knows if he can back it up, should be a good bet for a place.

9:1 backed up ordinary day at Brookwater, with decent score at Keperra and easier course. CTH will test him.

5. jarro (12) 9:1 consistent performer, and will probably bolt early, May struggle on the back 9 with extra weight. (brick's, banana's in golf bag).

12:1 has purchased more clubs in the last 3 months than rounds of golf played. desperately out of touch with his game (and mind)

6. blakey (5) 6:1 Out of form but rises to the occasion. Odds On to play to handicap.


11/2 Might sneak out to the driving range with flipper and snorkels.

7. vegas (6) 10:1 Long driver but Bernhard Langer on a bad day is a better putter. Will finish in top half of the field nevertheless

7:1 Is always up there on the tough tracks, shoudl be a breeze at CTH

8. trung (10) 15:1 Suffering from Jet lag

9. jono (10) 12:1 Steady, but while writing the essay on the morning round will miss tee time in the afternoon.

10. andyp (14) 7:1 One of those guys who you just know might pull one out of the bag, but can he do it twice.

10:1 Just not looking good at the moment. not playing too well either

11. wille (19) 15:1 Unknown quality. Will he be overawed in presence of such great Ozgolfers

12. eags (15) 12:1 Streaky player, expect a crash in the AM and a blinder in the PM

13. choppa (?) 25:1 Nick says it all.

20:1 Steady but recent handicap reduction will hurt him

14. damo (?) 20:1 cant concentrate on golf due to continuous discussions with Golfer69 over prices of eggs in china

15:1 but gets booted off the course for playing in a singlet.

15. golfgirl (?) 15:1 with that handicap always have to be a chance

16. drunken (19) 25:1 see choppa

17. nudgee (10) 20:1 Sold all his clubs and forgot to keep a set for himself. borrows a set of chinese copied callaways and gets a rash.

12:1 Getting some form at the right time

18. senecio (9) 15:1 long drives wont be an advantage on this thinking mans course.

19. mezza (16) 12:1 dark horse

20. andylo (27) 50:1 Still doesnt know which clubs (or swing) he will use by the time of the championships.

21. MacLeod (15) 50:1 still on the honeymoon hangover.

22. Stoney (1) 4:1 Low handicapper but consistent performer. will have to cope with constant crap stirring by more experienced ozgolfers.

Scratched - coulnt handle the pressure

23. Kee (27) 33:1 will remain distracted by Andylo talking about his gorgeous girlfreind all the time.

24. gaz (10) 25:1 will star in the AM round, but misses too many holes while checking Ebay auctions on his wireless connected laptop.

25. Spiersy (1) 8:1 By the time he has worked out the Slope rating and index he will be on the 8th hole. Slow start but will come home with a burst.

Scratched - he saw that purple shirt and thought no way.

26. onewood (7) 3:1 Outright favourite - Super solid performer and a long straight driver, otherwise known as the ozgolf mini bus.

Scratched - hair appointment.

27. DougK(-) 4:1 the man with the underrated swing and the technical knowledge can also play - this is the course he learned to play on.

Looks like its going to be an interesting day with both Champions and the Spoon to be hotly contested.

My money's on the Macloud cup winner :D (if he goes back to the clubs that won that event for him :D )

Cheers Dicky, ya prick. Talk about a vote of no confidence. :smt098

damo

Super funny stuff, Blakey. :lol: :smt044


10. andyp (14) 7:1 One of those guys who you just know might pull one out of the bag, but can he do it twice.
I liked my odds of 25:1 given earlier in the year. I'd still take 7:1. :wink:


Spoon:

I think you have been deceived by my Brookwater round. But I can understand that. :oops:

Good thinking, Iain, coz I wouldn't mind putting some money on damo at 20:1 now.
Choppa is good money at his odds.
There has been a few scratchings too.

[My tips:-

Onewood - best nett
Stoney - best gross.

Changed my mind...

choppa - best nett
DougK/MTB - best gross

No offence Kev, but a couple of these 20 hcapers are capable of going 10 better on a good day. Not sure that even you could match them if that happens. :shock:

As for the gross, now that stoney is out, you'd have to back the teaching pro and/or the local low marker.

Vegas, I'd say that he is no chance, because he isn't playing unfortunately.

Vegas, your dreamin....... according to Golf Link I have only played 3 comp rounds in 3mths, and a debacle at the Glades somewhere amongst that. Plus i am going through a swing reconstruction, and havent hit a ball in 4 weeks.

On the other hand, DougK has played about 4 rounds this year and his worst has been even Par. I'll back him to win the Double, with 72pts.

I dont think the 20 odd handicappers will be able to put two rounds together, unless one huge score is posted,

AndyP
18th October 2004, 04:14 PM
:?: Is DougK eligible to win? :?

I'm not buying it. =; You're a consistent player, regardless of the frequency of games.

On a separate issue, has dougk got amateur status?

..yeah, i've been asking myself the same thing.

I thought this event was for Ozgolf.net members only :smt017

Iain

Nope, I would hope not, he is a Pro, surely this is an amatuer event only.... :?

And he's not an active member on Ozgolf.

i have updated odds on the first post.

as for whether anyone can or cant play- who decided that?

BrisVegas
18th October 2004, 04:38 PM
Woohoo!!!! 7:1. Thanks blakey. :wink:

Finger's crossed I can string together 2 x 36 point rounds. Should be enough I reckon. :P

AndyP

It's not a question of whether he can play, it's a question of whether he can be crowned the OZgolf Champion. It doesn't seem right.

BTW thanks for slipping my odds out. Two weeks off after playing in a matchplay FINAL, and I play a few over my handicap, and out they go. You haven't got money on me have you? ;)

play/win I meant the same thing (whats thepoint of playing if you cant win). anyway its a good question (can of worms) Andy, perhaps something for the committee to work out.

Consider how many others are playing that rarely post or play in other ozgolf days. How small do we want the field to get?

I can remember the good old days when i just rolled up....

From the looks of those glassy eyes of yours on the 1st tee, i should have figured you had already rolled one.....

The "committee" is looking into it.

2 rounds :? Putting in one good 9 no probs, 2 in a row once in a while, 3 holy crap that would be good, 4.........no chance :cry: :cry:

P.S. I'll have $50 on me to win :wink: :lol:

No pressure choppa, but I got my money on you for the win too. :wink: Let's hope you can produce some monster tee shots like you did on sunday. You'll bring Coolangatta-Tweed to it's knees. :lol:

Coolangatta-Tweed has ALOT of sharp doglegs and interesting tee shots. I know the River course has at least 5 holes where you simply can't take driver off the tee. Check out the hole by hole on their website :wink:

Bit of late mail in on Nudgee. Has a secret weapon or two off the tee to cope with the tight fairways around the Tweed. Striping the ball with alarming straightness. Could well take out the champs with a bag full of "irons"... :shock:

Bit of a late return to form too for Tez (all hail the King!). Had the 3 iron & wedges pumping tonight, very crisply. Look for big things from the big fella come Sunday. :)

As for me, I got nothing. Couldn't hit it out of my shadow... :wink:

29th October 2004, 11:20 AM
so your shadow is currently around 270m on the ground eh :)

right to the end of the shadow counts as not hitting it out.

beware, he's crippling his own odds! look out for last minute betting! :D
