[BrisVegas]

ouch! just looked at your golflink iain. you got all of us covered mate!

[Jarro]

Good idea Dick ... put the pressure on him.

That'll see what he's really made of.

[poidda]

If he wasn't such a tosser, he'd be a chance for "Most Improved"

[Iain]

ouch! just looked at your golflink iain. you got all of us covered mate!

Say's you who's playing off 7 at Brookwater.... :roll:

[Iain]

If he wasn't such a tosser, he'd be a chance for "Most Improved"

Then you've got Buckley's chance....

[damoocow]

all this banter has got me interested, can i be down first reserv in case of a late scratch

kpac can have my spot if he really wants it - might look at playing somewhere cheaper / or closer to home instead

damoocow

[peter_rs]

Just flop it out and we will measure too.

I never claimed to be a golfer let alone a good one

ps congrats on the new hcp.

i'm happy to be first reserve mate, just in case pete or any others cant get there... If you're going to play elsewhere though i'll take it for sure. Dont mind either way, let me know.

[shazza_rs]

a walkover would be a letdown...

It wouldn't be a walkover anyway..... :roll:

they have until the bloody champs....

[poidda]

It wouldn't be a walkover anyway..... :roll:

they have until the bloody champs....

Would that only leave the weekend of the 10th? Pretty toight!

[dc68]

Pete what time will you be heading off on Saturday?

[BrisVegas]

No chance of this being played before November.... DQ them both.

your prophecy could yet come true fishy.... :lol:

[poidda]

Pete what time will you be heading off on Saturday?

Who me? ****s me. How much warm up do you need? Vegas just pm'd me offering me $6 (or 2 happy hour pints) if I was late and we missed the tee. :)

[AndyP]

You're expecting dc68 to counter-offer, aren't you?

[BrisVegas]

Who me? ****s me. How much warm up do you need? Vegas just pm'd me offering me $6 (or 2 happy hour pints) if I was late and we missed the tee. :)


oh gee, thanks. Leave me in a two with the lesbian. :roll:

[poidda]

You're expecting dc68 to counter-offer, aren't you?Do you have to ruin everything? :roll:

[dc68]

:-s

[AndyP]

I'll offer you 4 pints, if you drive dc to Woodridge and leave him there.

[dc68]

Warm up = 3 beers before we hit off. how long can it take?

[dc68]

I'll offer you 4 pints, if you drive dc to Woodridge and leave him there.


Coat.

[poidda]

How long is it from your joint dc?

[dc68]

30-35 depending on traffic

[poidda]

30-35 depending on traffic

Well name a time and I'll be there.

[Jarro]

How long is it from your joint dc?

4 pints ;)

[dc68]

What time are we off again?

[poidda]

What time are we off again?

That's why I asked the question. I cant remember and there's been so much Shyte talked, I cant find it.

[dc68]

Dion?

[dc68]

1224 and 1231


So I would say 11-1115 would be fine mate. give time for a putt and a pot or 2

[poidda]

sounds good

[dc68]

Ok mate, we can work out details later in the week.

[damoocow]

i'm happy to be first reserve mate, just in case pete or any others cant get there... If you're going to play elsewhere though i'll take it for sure. Dont mind either way, let me know.

[AndyP]

Oooo, battle of the burglars. :p

bump for golfer69 who can't remember who he's playing tomorrow..... :roll:


kpac - your name for tomorrow is Iain Schwartz. :wink:

[markTHEblake]

Ok, are we car pooling from the Gold Coast. Yeah i know its only 30 mins but we gotta save the planet y'know.

[PeteyD]

Good luck semi finalists! Can the Juggernaut eclipse the sprayjockey? Can Dion avoid being steamrolled by the newer svelte DC? All will be revealed tomorrow!

[BrisVegas]

Ok, are we car pooling from the Gold Coast. Yeah i know its only 30 mins but we gotta save the planet y'know.

I definitely recall golfer69 saying that you should come around to his place early for coffee, pancakes and hang out by the pool for a chat.

[poidda]

Ok, are we car pooling from the Gold Coast. Yeah i know its only 30 mins but we gotta save the planet y'know.

I agree with ya Blakey. Me and DC are sorted from our way!

[BrisVegas]

Can Dion avoid being steamrolled by the newer svelte DC? All will be revealed tomorrow!

Just so we're clear, even the svelte new dc68 outweighs me. ;)

[kpac]

sorry blake, i'll be coming from the northside from a bris appointement, happy to offer a lift back tho.

[dc68]

Look........ If youse blokes don't want him in your cars just say so.

[AndyP]

Pretty pathetic excuses. I expected better.

[markTHEblake]

Its a hatchback too, as if you cant fit two sets of clubs in there.

I can come pick you up anyway ya nob. is there a Tab anywhere near a pie shop?

[poidda]

Blake...in the negotiations with the bride for the game I lost the bigger car. I now got the little Pulsar that barely fits one set of club.
Plus I got TAB pitstops planned.

Pulsar? Mate, I'm picking up DC in my old Pulsar. There's plenty of room!

[dc68]

I left a wedge in a hire car...FFS.


Bahahahahahahahaha

[AndyP]

How do you leave a wedge in the car if you are removing woods?

And what sort of affect will this loss have on your game?

[kpac]

How do you leave a wedge in the car if you are removing woods?

And what sort of affect will this loss have on your game?
:-s good question

[Eag's]

The clubs only fit in the boot with the woods out.
Last time I did that I left a wedge in a hire car...FFS.

So all the accusations of someone tampering with your gear were unfounded, good work Sherlock :razz:

[AndyP]

He might have taken the wedge out while removing beer bottles from the bottom of his bag.

[dc68]

Right you mob of aunts ... will see you at Windypoo tomorrow. Poidda see you at 11. Vegas.... please go easy on me.

[shazza_rs]

well after what i saw today you are a shoe in G69

[Jarro]

We don't really wanna know what you "see" on a regular basis thanks Shaz ;)

[AndyP]

I thought he was anyway.

Roll on, Juggernaut.

[shazza_rs]

108 with 9 lost balls...thats not reverse psyche shit ... thats really crappy golf!

[Jarro]

geez, if he shoots 108 tomorrow he's a real chance 8)

[PeteyD]

hehe that will be farnee

[Jarro]

The winners should be decided by now ????

[Eag's]

The winners should be decided by now ????

You would think so, somebody text them and find out ;)

[Jarro]

I know the result of one of the matches ;)

[AndyP]

Tell us FFS. I'm about to head out.

[Jarro]

I know the result of both matches ;)

[Eag's]

I know the result of both matches ;)

Same here :mrgreen: not going to spoil it for the combatants though ;)

[Jarro]

OK, well that match didn't go as we all had hoped :roll:

Let's hope the other match went according to plan ;)

[Eag's]

So Dicky rolls on once again, can anyone take this bloke down :roll: ;)

[markTHEblake]

I'll be giggling when Pete and I are winning holes with triples and Dion and DC are halving them with birdies.

Unbeleivable, you could be the next Nostradamus.

[BrisVegas]

I'm rooted...christ I need to get fit.
Short story...both pete and I played ****ed but not quite as ****ed as newcastle.
I won the last to beat him 2 up. Thanks for the hit pete.
I have an able combatant in the final.

Surprisingly, your opponent is me. :o

Managed to sneak a win over dc68 today. Dave came home strong with 1 over on the back 9, but the match was over 4 & 3 on the par 3 15th after dave smashed a 4 iron about 190m over the green into the wind and couldn't save par.

Ironically, he went on to par 16, and birdie 17 and 18. I went bogey, par, par, so there was nothing in it today. Dave made 5 birdies in the round to my one (which he matched for a half on the first :smt108 ) but I manged to save a lot of pars and stayed out of trouble, well mostly.

Thanks for the game mate, I got lucky today. You showed your real game later in the round today when you started flushing it. I don't think anyone will come close to you at the champs again.

[peter_rs]

congrats on the win g69 and dion

First game with G69 and it was interesting. It was one of those days the woods were still in perth (wait they didn't go to perth ...***ed if I know where they are). windy is a hard course taking 3 iron of the tee. It would have been interesting if we had to go extra holes, we were both rooted.

I was happy to push the match as far as I did, and held a few putts for a change.

thanks to kpac and rust.

special thanks to shazza for the caddie work.

[shazza_rs]

I was always rooting for my pete... but u know me i can't give up an opportunity for a good sledge no matter who the person is...:)

[AndyP]

Yay guys. :D

[kpac]

Bit slow with the scores, but here they are.

nett:
Bris Vegas 74
Rusty 77
DC68 77
MarkTheBlake 79
Poidda 79
Pete_rs 82
Golfer 69 82
Kpac 88



Wasn't my best day ever..... got myself into a lot of trouble disposed of 4 balls in the first 4 holes and that set the tone really.
Cheers for the game lads, the juganaught is well and tuely rolling in the matchplay, i though it was going to come to a hault on the 14th, with 69'rs 2nd shot almost breaking his concentration, but shook it off and ground it out to finish. well done. Was a good match to watch. Cheers rusty and the following group, good to catch up with you again after a short drought of ozgolf games. Now off to the pro shop, see if i cant buy myself and game/common sense! ;)

[Jarro]

All i can say is .....

GO VEGAS !!!!!!!!!!

[BrisVegas]

noticed that nett 63 won the day! Not bad for a back marker day. :shock:

0.1 back for me. Playing off 8 against the juggernaut.

[peter_rs]

Pete I do have one question....what were you thinking with the shot played from the water drop on snake gully ? Was that an overhit lay up shot or an attack at the green ? personally i think that was the decider of the match...you had a shot there and I was already in the piss. Up until that 3rd one went in I thought I was gone.


It was an over hit that turned into a draw. I had almost decided to go for the green but then dropped back two irons for the layup. Allways happens when I play safe ;)

Hey it was your hole after you called my ball lost when I figured it was in the gully :evil: ;) (hit the gum on the right and dropped straight down). The re tee broke my back flying it over your head into the piss was a big mistake.:smt087

Who would have guessed I could loss 3 balls on one hole and be a shot of a 1/2.:shock:

You had me covered if you won 16. It was interest to look at the card after I lost every hole I had a shot on.... I will have to work on that

[Webster]

Jeez some woeful scores by the participants here - especially the matchplayers with a pair of net 82's.

Queensland is still clearly the home of the vanity handicap.

[Eag's]

Hey, we can't all be superstars like yourself Jack :roll:

[Jarro]

Jarro, my good friend...you have rooted hard for every one of my opponents since the pizzling I gave you....please cheer very very loud for Vegas !

He doesn't need me to cheer for him mate, if he's off 8 when he plays you ... it'll be a carve up :mrgreen:

[Webster]

Hey, we can't all be superstars like yourself Jack :roll:


I disagree. I see no reason why you can't be a superstar like me..

[peter_rs]

I looked in the creek first because thats where i thought it would be.. i only looked over the creek when shaz said she thought that was where it could of ricocheted to. I did go back for a 2nd look in the water and long grass before i asked you for your opinion.

I was surprised that i picked up 13 and 14 as wins. It could of been over a lot sooner. Don't know how you think 12 was going to be a loss. I couldn't hit driver all ****ing day. The one drive i did hit only got as far as you anyway. I blame my caddy. She didn't pull my club on the 11th.... i pulled out a 9 iron instead of my 6....so so short and in the water ;)

[peter_rs]

Jack.... I'll miss you at the champs... any time you are up in Queensland you are quite welcome to take me on in matchplay of the tips at windaroo in a comp and see what sort of score you can come up with.

[peter_rs]

By the way mate...the 11th was a soft 5 wood.

No way was it a 5 wood.... my 6 iron was pin high albeit in the bunker.:mrgreen:

Only old farts like you need to hit a wood on that hole.

Kpac hit a 5 wood and was over the back almost in the piss.

[Jarro]

Now you're talking sense....it was the caddies fault.
By the way mate...the 11th was a soft 5 wood.

WTF !?!! :shock:

That's not that long a hole is it ??

What happened on the 14th anyway ??

[peter_rs]

Lets see... After a shock win on the previous hole, Pete hits a 3 iron to middle of fairway. G69 hooked one left possibly OB.. then hit a provisional with a big cut into the piss. After searching for a while G69 finds his first ball. Then his second shot proceeded to join his 2nd tee shot in the water ( i think it was a shank but can't be sure). Pete hit his 2nd shot to be just short of the green. G69's 4th shot came up on the front of the green. Pete got up and down for a par, G69 2 putted so Pete won the hole.

I agree jarro.. that hole isn't that long (but there was some wind)

[peter_rs]

I figured you might mention that... happy to say it wasn't a shank... no hosel in that one.

The rough... that wasn't so bad ... how bout the ****ing bunkers???!!!

[Eag's]

I figured you might mention that... happy to say it wasn't a shank... no hosel in that one.

The rough... that wasn't so bad ... how bout the ****ing bunkers???!!!

Where they in bad shape again?

[peter_rs]

well... i didn't see any sand in the ****ers... anyone else see any??? You either got hard pan dirt, dry mud cakes, or just straight mud.

only one i saw that had sand was the greenside traps on 13th... conveniently the only one dicky went in all day.

[markTHEblake]

The rough... that wasn't so bad ... how bout the ****ing bunkers???!!!

I was chatting with a volunteer at the Qld PGA today. He said he was a member of Windaroo, and the first thing he said was "someone should blow up the bunker on the 8th"

Uncanny he should say that, as my round died in that bunker yesterday.

[BrisVegas]

the bunkers were shocking. They looked as though they'd be scraped out with a bobcat (exposing the underlying dirt) in readiness for major reno's.

[kpac]

bunkers like that are stupid, totally agree even though i got lucky in the few i went in actually had some sand. Poor rusty on the 9th? semi plugged in the MUD with a big chunk of mud on top of his ball, left it in the bunker but this tim it was sitting on rock hard shit!! I dont know why they dont call them GUR untill they're in playable condition!

[poidda]

I blame my caddy. She didn't pull my club on the 11th.... i pulled out a 9 iron instead of my 6....so so short and in the water ;)huh? With the amount of golf you play and you can't tell the difference at address? :shock:

[Jarro]

huh? With the amount of golf you play and you can't tell the difference at address? :shock:

I was thinking the same thing :-s

[poidda]

Yeah cheers for the game guys. It was a good day out. I can't believe how much better Windaroo is compared to 3 months ago. It's amazing what a bit of rain can do. (Of course this excludes the bunkers with should be GUR)

As for my game, I was happy with how I struck the ball, but had an absolute shocker on the greens. I never looked like making a putt and finished with 42 of the ****ers. Anyyyway.

Cheers for the game Vegas and DC. Oh and Blakey to. ;)

EDIT: And to top it all off, I've missed out on getting .1 back. I forgot to put my card in, and according to GolfLink I've been DQ'd. Maybe it was the dodgy relief I took on 10. :roll:

[Webster]

Jack.... I'll miss you at the champs... any time you are up in Queensland you are quite welcome to take me on in matchplay of the tips at windaroo in a comp and see what sort of score you can come up with.

No problem. A pity I cant be there for the champs but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Windaroo looks like a dinky little track where positional play and a conservative approach is paramount - that is esentially my game plan so I think it will suit me. It cant be that hard if someone shot a net 63 there...

[dc68]

Thanks for the game guys. I would hardly call it luck Vegas you putted very well and I think that was the difference between us. Well played. It should be a ripper of a final.

[peter_rs]

huh? With the amount of golf you play and you can't tell the difference at address? :shock:

I noticed something but trusted I pulled the right iron and I was a little busy laughing at a joke.

I know it was my screw up.

[peter_rs]

And I shot a net 62 at nudgee doesn't mean its a easy course. I also shot a net 56 (par 72) at dalby but that is a easy course and was not in comp.

[Webster]

I also shot a net 56 (par 72) at dalby but that is a easy course and was not in comp.

If it wasnt in a comp then it doesnt count peter (you should know that by now)

[Rusty]

I dont know why they dont call them GUR untill they're in playable condition!

ah yeah, that was tough - played it a bit soft as i didn't really want to get mud all over me (right bunker on the 10th). the fairways were fantastic and the greens were pretty good too. a bit of sand in the bunkers, and sprinklers with distances on them, would make it a fantastic course.

[Jarro]

Surely it can't be that hard to ensure there is at least a little bit of sand in the bunkers ?

Why do they let them get to that state in the first place ??

[terryand]

$$$$$$$$

[Jarro]

Sand doesn't cost that much Tezza ;)

[terryand]

True, but those bloody plumbers cost a fortune to put the drainage in to stop them turning into duck ponds ;)

Terry.

[3oneday]

I guess lots of guys have seen bunkers get built. They seem to take a bit of work if done right, well in the eyes of an amateur anyway ;).

[AndyP]

I seem to recall hearing a figure of $30k or so to actually build a bunker.

[poidda]

I seem to recall hearing a figure of $30k or so to actually build a bunker.
a bunker? as in one!?! WTF?

[PeteyD]

Yea. Ask 69er what they cost. It ain't just a hole with some sand in it (reminds me of schoolies week) although that is waht they should be.

[markTHEblake]

A bit late I know but here are some pics from the big day out at Windaroo. Just using my crappy phone.

Thats Golfer69, PeterRs, Kent, and Rusty all hitting off the first.

Nice shot of the Dick waggle Blakey :roll:

Better than that godawful follow through picture i've seen a thousand times of late.

[3oneday]

Peter_rs looks like the only golfer amongst that lot.

[BrisVegas]

looks can be deceiving. :wink:

[peter_rs]

WOW one of the only tee shots not with a iron....

are you taking the piss 3oneday nothing looks good in my pic.

[3oneday]

are you taking the piss 3oneday nothing looks good in my pic.I wasn't actually, your follow through looks just dandy to me.

Sorry, I'm practicing my new mantra of being nice most of the time.
