Town of Nambour Open, Sat/Sun Sept 15/16

[AndyP]

Town of Nambour Open, Sat/Sun Sept 8/9
Postponed to Sat/Sun Sept 15/16 due to weather

The Town of Nambour Open has come around again. 6 of us played it last year, and hopefully we can get a few of us up there again. I'm out to try to let someone else take the OZgolf wooden spoon from this event for a change.

Here are this year's details:
36 Hole Gross & Nett in 3 Grades
Over $7000 in Trophies & Prizes
Daily 18 Hole Gross & Nett
Daily Gross & Nett Rundowns
1 Doz Balls each N.T.P. each day (6 per day)
Seeded Draw SundayCost: Sat & Sun - $30, Daily $17.50 (cheap! cheap!)
Draw Available: 05/09/06

You can nominate to play just one of the days or both. Preference in the draw will be given to those that play all 36.

The nomination sheet comes out on Wednesday 8/8 and closes 26/8. Ideally I'd like to get nominations in by the 20th so we don't miss out. Last year the sheet had reserves.

Who wants in this time around?

I wish I could but have been told I have plans

[AndyP]

I wish I could but have been told I have plans
I thought you guys said you were going to play it. :(

[shazza_rs]

We have my brothers wedding in Toowoomba...... if i could get out of it i would because I don't particularly like my sister-in-law to be.... but i do love my brother.

[PeteyD]

Gonna play club champs this year. Miss out on Nambour :(

[goughy]

Clikchic won't let me. I'm too tired to be bothered lying :(

[andylo]

AP you know you don't need to ask :)

[PeteyD]

Looks like family reasons might force me out of the champs again. I could be on for this. Let you know this weekend.

[dc68]

Pencil pending above.

[AndyP]

It would be great if you guys could make it. It's a shame that you aren't playing your champs though, Petey.

[PeteyD]

The joys of little people. Plenty of Champs to come but the kids grow all to quickly ;)

[PeteyD]

OK #1 has his football presentation on the first day of the champs so no go for me. This does mean that this is all go. Dave and I are in, accomodation is booked.

If we want a cart for both days AP, when can we book it? Pro Shop Phone Number?

[kpac]

i'll be in pencil for tis one - both days hopefully

[AndyP]

I'm not sure when you can book it. I've sent an email nominating the four definites to date and asking.

AP I won't be staying overnight this year...

Just wonder if its okay to arrange 1 of this date start slightly later? Perferable both days ;)

[AndyP]

At this stage, I'd prefer earlier mornings for both rounds (pending AFL Finals draw), but the draw isn't done until the week leading into it anyway. I guess we can start at different times if we need to.

[PeteyD]

Not too early on Satdee please. Long drive for some of us.

[andylo]

Err.. don't worry then. Just go by your time perference :)

[AndyP]

I don't really get to choose the time anyway. Just whether it's in the early or later groupings.

[AndyP]

I've nominated 6 of us so far, as two groups of three, for the Saturday afternoon, and the Sunday morning to suit the majority.

[dc68]

hehe

[AndyP]

Are pencils allowed at this point in time ?
How dark is the pencil?
Should I nominate you? Or should we wait and see what K-man is doing?

I think the latter, as I'd rather not be pulling two people out.
Kpac, can you confirm sooner. The rego actually ends on Sunday the 26th.

[Jarro]

Don't stress the young fella too much AndeePee ... just put me down to take his spot then if he can't make it.

[dc68]

P as far as the $$$ go when do we need to pay?

[PeteyD]

Dave - I think we might so I don't have a big drive to the game.

[dc68]

Goodo.

[kpac]

You want this spot Jarro?

[Jarro]

You want this spot Jarro?

No pressure mate ... i can take it or leave it.

[kpac]

I'll take it.
Lock me in AP

[AndyP]

P as far as the $$$ go when do we need to pay?
$30 on the Saturday for both days. Upfront payment isn't required.


No pressure mate ... i can take it or leave it.
When will you know if you can make it, jarro?


I'll take it.
Lock me in AP
Excellent.

[dc68]

Yeah but is he gonna want some FLOOR space on Satdee night?

[PeteyD]

We'll charge him double. Pretty sure he'll drive home mate he only lives at deception bay.

Anyone else wanna share a cart if there's another one available ?

[PeteyD]

I'd be getting on the waiting list mark

[Jarro]

I thought that's what i just did :-s

[PeteyD]

As in ring the club up and get on a cart waiting list?

[dc68]

:roll:

[Jarro]

oops :oops:

[markTHEblake]

I wouldnt stick DC and Pete in the same cart at nambour.

Oh wait, great idea.....

[Choppa]

Anyone else wanna share a cart if there's another one available ?

You don't even have to ask! Yes.

[Jarro]

Ok Chop, consider it done ... providing they have some left.

Andeepee, are you calling the club again soon ;)

[AndyP]

I'll get you to look after your cart, as I don't know what chances you are of getting one.
Pro Shop: 5441 4413

And FFS, toughen the **** up.

[Choppa]

I am only doing it so Jarro doesn't get lonely ;)

[Jarro]

You're a very nice bloke Chop, i don't care what everyone else thinks :mrgreen:

Pee, i'm only getting one so i don't have to walk the Kakoda track back to the clubhouse from the fuirthest point away when it pisses down again :roll:

[dc68]

Chops looks like a match play venue. What do you say?














Pussy. :p

[kpac]

is the place underwater??

[Jarro]

is the place underwater??

... not up on the hills where the goats live.

[AndyP]

I'd say the valley that runs through it would have been a river, but it seems to recover pretty well.

[BrisVegas]

Chops looks like a match play venue. What do you say?
Pussy. :p

Kick his arse choppa.:twisted:

[dc68]

I am not expecting anthing else Vegas............... You coming up on the Friday Chops? Buy you a couple of drinks mate.

[AndyP]

Chops only lives 45 minutes away, so I'd assume he'll drive each day.

Will you play on the Saturday or the Sunday after you get a sighter (note there are seeded groups on the Sunday).

[dc68]

Well if there are seeded groups Sunday I imagine Saturday would be the go.






P.s get the poof avatar off.

[AndyP]

To clarify, I think the seeded groups are only for the top 8 gross, which you would be the only chance of getting near in our mob.

[kpac]

What is the format AP?

[kpac]

How many are staying up there on the saturday night and how many of those are happy to have a couple of settlers?

[Choppa]

Chops looks like a match play venue. What do you say?


Yeah mate I am easy. If you want to get beat there then no probs, if you want to get beat somewhere else, then that's no drama either 8-)

[Choppa]

I am not expecting anthing else Vegas............... You coming up on the Friday Chops? Buy you a couple of drinks mate.

No thanks Chuck I think I'll just wander up on Saturday. As AP says I am only just down the road.

[AndyP]

What is the format AP?36 hole stroke. Prizes for both days too.

[PeteyD]

Book yer own room KCap. Try this mob, Dave and I are staying here. http://www.nambourlodge.com/

[kpac]

Book yer own room KCap. Try this mob, Dave and I are staying here. http://www.nambourlodge.com/
I'm sorted for accomodation thanks Petey - just wanted to know if there was going to be a designated watering hole for saturday night....

[markTHEblake]

just wanted to know if there was going to be a designated watering hole for saturday night....

Commercial Hotel should be open 'till 6pm.

[PeteyD]

not much goes on . We will probably head to the RSL for a feed.

[AndyP]

Commercial Hotel should be open 'till 6pm.They actually have APL Poker from about 8pm, or at least used to. I played there last year and the poker mob were the only ones there.

[dc68]

No thanks Chuck I think I'll just wander up on Saturday. As AP says I am only just down the road.



Harden the F*** up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Choppa]

I'm hard mate, every morning ;)
Still want me to come up on Saturday night?

[dc68]

yeah but get ya own room.

[Jarro]

Worked out any groups yet Pee ?

[PeteyD]

Me thinks the draw is done on Monday mark

[Jarro]

Just wondering if Choppa and I get a cart, we'll have to be in your group with dc that's all

[kpac]

what's the deal with the carts boys? am i missing somthing nambour a bit of a hike??

[Eag's]

what's the deal with the carts boys? am i missing somthing nambour a bit of a hike??

Nambour is where mountain goats go to die mate put it that way ;)

[PeteyD]

You'll lbe fine, a young fella like you. Just suck it in and keep going ;)

[kpac]

didn't realise i put myself down for a moutain climb lol should be fun...

[goughy]

Considering there is one of those motorised ropes at the end of one hole to help pull you back up to the clubhouse!!! I suggest you do a few runs to the top of centrepoint as training. It might get you partially ready ;)

[Jarro]

Do they still supply ropes and helmets to absail down the 10th fairway ??

[PeteyD]

do you mean 11th, 10th is the par 3, and the 3rd is there as well. They need elevators.

[kpac]

holly shit what is this nambour place 8)

[Jarro]

Standing on the 10th tee i get a bad case of vertigo, absailing down the 11th fairway seems like a breeze after that ;)

You'll be right kpac, just chuck a saddle on one of the mountain-goats.

[markTHEblake]

Kpac, dont listen to the fat lazy sheila's. Nambour did fine for 30 odd years without any motorised carts and it didnt bother anybody. :mrgreen:

There are only 2 holes that are a bit of a hike uphill, and one of those only goes half way up (18th). Basically there are 5 holes up top, and 13 way down the bottom of the hill. The view when you hit from the tee up top, to the valley below is spectacular - worth the green fee alone.

Apart from that its no more undulating than many golf courses. In fact if you play the fairways the course doesnt play 'hilly' at all. However if you hit it wide - yeah well, cant blame the course.....

Imho Headland is more mountain goat country than Nambour. cant even get a flat lie in the car park.

[AndyP]

Worked out any groups yet Pee ?
Nope. I might move myself to the morning slot for Saturday yet.

There is plenty of going up and down hills on the course, but nothing that someone who's not weak wouldn't be able to handle.

[PeteyD]

Mark pretty well summed it up, although I did prefer to leave him woried ... hehe :D

[AndyP]

Here's a pic from the 10th Tee, which is the start of your track down. It doesn't look as bad as the photo looks because the man in the picture is smaller than most, which distorts the scale of it.

http://www.ozgolf.net/andyp/Nambour_09-06/Jarro_10th.jpg

Or have a look at the pics on the club website.
http://www.nambourgolfclub.com.au/course.htm

[kpac]

nice.. checked out the website - looks a cracker, seems a fun course...

[Choppa]

Just don't fall down or you will roll to the bottom of the hill!

I hope we get one of the carts with the parachute brake!

[Choppa]

[quote=AndyP;175860]Nope. I might move myself to the morning slot for Saturday yet.
[quote]

Does that mean you don't want to play with us Andy or will we all swap to a morning slot? I am easy either way.

[PeteyD]

Dave and I are staying up on Friday night as well so morning is fine with us.

[kpac]

my times are also up in the air, weekend leave pass so anytimes suit.

[AndyP]

The afternoon time on the Saturday was to suit those that were driving up from Brisbane/Gold Coast. My preference was always morning, but I went with the majority's wish. I could have one group in the morning, and one in the arvo for the Saturday?

[Jarro]

Morning suits me better

[AndyP]

Okay, now I've definitely got a case for one morning group. The question is should we stay together and have both groups in the morning? I think that's upto kpac and A-Lo who have further to travel.

If I'm going to try to change it, then I need to do it tomorrow considering this weekends activities.

[kpac]

i'm up there all weekend P - from friday on, mornings are fine..

[andylo]

I rather play in OZG group. So don't worry about the time thing as I said before.

[dc68]

Can you compare it to city in Woomba? Hillier or flatter?

[Choppa]

Morning it is then.

[dc68]

Morning eh?

Makes for a long afternoon Pete. Hope there is some decent sport on................................................
At the pub :p

[BrisVegas]

Can you compare it to city in Woomba? Hillier or flatter?

good question, especially as I chose to play City rather than Nambour on this date... I really must get up to play Nambour before AndyP pulls the pin there...

[AndyP]

Can you compare it to city in Woomba? Hillier or flatter?
Toowoomba has a lot of side hill holes.
Nambour tends to go up and down them instead. A lot of holes have an elevated tee, down the hill, then back up to a green.


I really must get up to play Nambour before AndyP pulls the pin there...Regardless of the pin status, I will probably still play there just as much.

[Jarro]

Walking up the 16th at nambour is probably the same as walking up the 10th at City .... they're probably much of a muchness as far as hills go, although nambour does seem to have some more dramatic looking tee shots :shock:

Nambour is a nice little course and well worth a game.

[markTHEblake]

:lol: 16th is Downhill.

[Jarro]

:lol: 16th is Downhill.

My bad, i meant the 7th :oops:

[andylo]

I think he mean #7 par 5 left OOB

[PeteyD]

I reckon it would be an easier walk than City. Only tough bits are the climb after 18, which has a moving rope to help you, and the hill from the middle of 7 to the 8th tee.

Of course if the storms come and flood the course and you go back to the clubhouse cross country it is a shocker!

[markTHEblake]

we experienced that on our first Ozgolf day at Nambour, we had to hide under the little shed on the cemetry hole. The only tough part about it was Jarro wanting to stand behind everyone.

[Jarro]

Choppa, we're on standby for a cart.

The guy in the pro-shop said we're a good chance of getting one if we have an early tee time ;)

[AndyP]

I just rang the club and we probably will have the Saturday changed to the morning, although I think it was a little bit of a pain because the draw has been drafted. A possible time that got mentioned was 7:12a, 7:21a.

The draw won't be out until next Wednesday, so we won't know for sure until then.

[Jarro]

Thanks Pee :smt023

[Choppa]

Choppa, we're on standby for a cart.

The guy in the pro-shop said we're a good chance of getting one if we have an early tee time ;)

Mate I am all prepared to be driven around Nambour now....I hope I am not going to be disappointed now ;)

[Jarro]

Mate I am all prepared to be driven around Nambour now....I hope I am not going to be disappointed now ;)

Me too :(

[Grunt]

So Jarro, was Mac Grange a good warm up for Nambour? I heard you mention it was just a hilly.

[Rusty]

comin in late on all this, but fwiw, my pref is still for Sat arvo. was going to drive up in the morning. see what happens with the final draw. then i'll go with the flow.

[Jarro]

Sorry about that, Rusty, I'm trying to please the majority including myself. I also wrongly assumed that you would be based on the Coast the night before.

[Choppa]

Don't worry about Rusty mate. We need to handicap him somehow and I think a nice long drive on Saturday morning might just do the trick ;)

[AndyP]

That's one down, but how do we stitch you up?

[dc68]

That's one down, but how do we stitch you up?


My sentiments exactly.

[Choppa]

Don't worry about me. I am going to throw it away after I beat DC on the 10th.

Must be Nambour Open time, pissing down here at the moment :p

[dc68]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark

[Eag's]

Just saw the weather a minute ago, they are saying the Sunshime coast may flood again in the next few days.

[PeteyD]

Yea hopefully clear by the weekend :(

[BrisVegas]

you guys might as well head to Toowoomba. Nambour will be flooded.

[Jarro]

Too many ferals in Toowoomba

[kpac]

what's the chance of a last minute inclusion in the toowoomba game if nambour is a washout :rollseyes:

hang on - didn't i mention this a week ago and you guys told me nambour GC was higher that the andes?

[BrisVegas]

Too many ferals in Toowoomba

that's it. I'm telling goughy you said that. :evil:

[goughy]

No, it's ok vegas. I am a feral!! ;)

[Jarro]

See Vegas, i told ya :p

:lol:

[PeteyD]

hey goughy, get one of these, ya feral ...

[goughy]

I already got a shaver. And it works perfectly fine - once a fortnight.

Now can you all leave me alone so I can go and sit in comfort in my vinyl recliner on my porch and throw stones at passing cars!!!

[BrisVegas]

See Vegas, i told ya :p

:lol:

bloody hell. Goughy - please tell me you're an imported feral and weren't born in Woomby?

[PeteyD]

Just got off the phone to the Pro Shop. Course is closed at the moment and he said to call Friday to see if it was still on.

Dave we have a cart, and tee off at 7:12 am on Saturday.

[AndyP]

Do you know if our groups are back to back or the Sunday times?

[Jarro]

Just got off the phone to the Pro Shop. Course is closed at the moment and he said to call Friday to see if it was still on.

Dave we have a cart, and tee off at 7:12 am on Saturday.

Don't suppose you asked if me and Chops had a cart also ??


;)

[PeteyD]

No and no. I believe you can use this weird device called a telephone and the nice man at the pro shop will be more than happy to let you know!

[Choppa]

We don't have those fancy devices. We are up in the sticks you know :)

[markTHEblake]

Nambour closed? One would think that if any course drains well, it would be Nambour!

[AndyP]

It usually doesn't take too long to drain away, but I guess it can only take so much. It's the valley through the middle where it sits the most, and that affects 9 holes.

[markTHEblake]

It's the valley through the middle where it sits the most, and that affects 9 holes.

Take your shoes off to walk through it and then lay up on 15th tee shot. Problem solved.:mrgreen:

[Jarro]

You've got a bloody answer for everything don't you Blake !!

[markTHEblake]

Two things aggravate me. Golfers who chicken out because of a bit of water and lazy buggars who use motorised golf carts.

[Jarro]

Cool .. i got ya on both counts :p

[Choppa]

haha, me too!

[goughy]

bloody hell. Goughy - please tell me you're an imported feral and weren't born in Woomby?

I'm an import - I choose to be feral!! ;)

[AndyP]

Guys, I've just received an email from the club stating the following:

thanks shazza but before I commit either way.

is the nambour open "open" to ladies.The clubhouse and proshop aren't open today, so I couldn't ask, but the flyer states that "All players must have AGU Handicap". This may mean that it's a men's only event, but I will try to remember to confirm tomorrow.

[AndyP]

Thank you for clarifying your previous one word post. :roll:

Looks like the weather has done a great job of ruining this one. The Sunshine Coast doesn't even bloody need the rain.

AH F! I don't know what to think now :cry:

[PeteyD]

OK Accomodation is fine, but Dave is out. Poop. I am still in at this stage. Anyone want to share accom for Friday and Sat night? Otherwise I might drive up on Satdee morning.

[peter_rs]

looks like you can be a caddie at south port then shazza

[AndyP]

The clubhouse and proshop aren't open today, so I couldn't ask, but the flyer states that "All players must have AGU Handicap". This may mean that it's a men's only event, but I will try to remember to confirm tomorrow.
The office and pro-shop were open today (and 9 holes), however the question of whether ladies are allowed has stumped them. The people I got answers from, including a committee member, thought that it was a fully open event for men & ladies but weren't 100% sure. The secretary manager is in tomorrow, and he'd be the man in the know. Here's the office number: 5441 2049

[AndyP]

I'll need more than luck to get anywhere near the two burglars in my group.

[Rusty]

i'll be ready. those times work out well for me. i don't see any burglars... oh maybe Alo...

[andylo]

They didn't postpone it to another week again did they? :)

[AndyP]

:roll:
I haven't received an email communicating that, so I would assume no.

[dc68]

Play well guys..... :(

[andylo]

:roll:

Bunt time :( :cry:

[AndyP]

You used a bunt swing at Headland and went pretty well.

[andylo]

with a 20 something handicap, you can do well even with just a freaking putter!

[AndyP]

Day 1

Rusty 85 nett 71
A-Lo 90 nett 73
AP 87 nett 76

You wouldn't know that the course had been soaked, as it's very dry now. Greens were very hard and it was tough to get the chips to stop.

Everyone could quite easily find a few shots tomorrow.

[andylo]

Thanks to the day 1 game guys. Throughfully enjoyed even with tiny bit of pains at impact.

Uncle is coming tomorrow for sure and looking forward to see you guys tomorrow. :)

[AndyP]

As I said the course was pretty tough on day one, and frustrating at times when the chips or putts wouldn't stop. The greens got tougher as the day went on, and I think more than the usual amount of three putts were had.

The best nett score in A-grade (0-12) was 1 under, which I was disappointed to see, as I threw away about 5 shots with an A grade mental breakdown/tantrum (bag kick and much swearing) over the course of two holes. Sorry about that gents.

Rusty was the most solid on the day, especially off the tee, unfortunately he just slipped up around the greens a couple of times.

It was a warm day (afternoon round) and I was quite buggered by the end of it. Fortunately the storms predicted didn't eventuate.

Day 1

Rusty 85 nett 71
A-Lo 90 nett 73
AP 87 nett 76

Day two started overcast (morning round), but nothing came of it and my umbrella and jacket went back in the car as we passed through the ninth.

I was pretty motivated to play well, after a disappointing round (and attitude) the day before, and was the better player on the day.

I'm interested to know how many putts A-Lo had yesterday (besides the last), because I think he had quite a few 1 putts. Which brings me to the highlight of the day........

A-Lo got his ball to about 2m short of the pin on the par 4, 18th after 3 shots. There was nothing too difficult about the putt, and not too much break. His firm putt slid by on the left side and left him another metre back. He slid another putt past another metre, which the clubhouse crowd cheered. (The clubhouse balcony is high above the 18th green for those that haven't been to Nambour before)

Then he misses the following putt back again, obviously feeling the pressure of the audience. There's a huge cheer from the balcony now, as the numbers start to swell, and he left this one just behind the cup for a tap-in.

His reach over the cup for the little tap lipped out of course, much to the delight of the fans, who whooped and clapped with excitement. His player partners couldn't contain their laughter anymore.

The fifth putt never looked like missing, but the show wasn't over yet. Andy gives the putter a huge hurl away from the green that would make an olympic hammer thrower proud. This was too much for the mob, who went bonkers, and I'm glad the balcony held up. The group behind who had been waiting, joined in the cheering and clapping as well. Golfing entertainment at it's best.

Rusty and I overheard the story being told in the clubhouse half an hour later, and it would probably be the best story of the Championships, if it wasn't for a single capper taking a 23 on the par 3 14th the day before.

Anyway, back to the scores, where the scoring had been turned upside down from the day before.

Day 2

AP 78 nett 67
A-Lo 88 nett 71
Rusty 87 nett 73

Total
1. AP 165 nett 143
2. A-Lo 178 nett 144
2. Rusty 172 nett 144

Neither of you believed me when I said I would still overtake you after the first day, so :smt110.
Thanks for the weekend's golfing, lads. ;)

[Jarro]

Enough about Alo's putting woes .... let's hear more about your 2 hole tanty :mrgreen:

[AndyP]

Shot by shot detail? I have a short fuse at the best of times, but add to that lack of sleep over a few days, and my head went AWOL. I just got pissed off at a couple of things I did, then proceeded to continually try for the same flop shot and continually failing, while ranting. 7 on the 1st (our 10th) and 7 on the 2nd. I parred both of those holes the next day. :roll:

[Rusty]

yes AP an amazing comeback. i'd written you off for dead. that 3 over on the front 9 on Sunday was well done. could easily have been 1 or 2 over.

as usual thanks for the game gents.
