Friday pre-champs warmup - 11:42, 11:51, 12:09, 12:18 at Brookwater

[BrisVegas]

Per the discussion in http://ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6697 looking to see who's interested in a warmup game prior to the champs.

I've booked 11:42, 11:51, 12:09 & 12:18 at this stage.

There's a corporate day off before us til 11:30. There is a group of people in at 12:00, but I'll try and get them to go off before our 4 groups. I'm sure they'd prefer it that way too!

It's $80 including carts for my guests.

EDIT - results...

1. poidda 40 points
2. BrisVegas 35
3. nuttedit 34
4. agave 31
4. billyman

Pete and I have Friday night booked at KV.... I have the day off,can't remember if Pete does but if he does I dare say we will have a final peep at the course. :p

[PeteyD]

hehe might do. Not sure if we booked for unlimited golf though

[BrisVegas]

some of the folks traveling from interstate may like to play some other courses while they're here.

[Bruce]

I want to play Brookwater at some point and if Friday is the best day then so be it.

1. BrisVegas - Brookwater
2. Bruce - Brookwater

[Iain]

1. BrisVegas - Brookwater
2. Bruce - Brookwater
3. Iain - wherever the majority wants.... :mrgreen:

[kpac]

I'll be in on this - If our deal at KV is for unlimited golf i might try get 2 rounds in on the friday (cause the way you fellas are talking, the next couple of days will be wipes!

[Grunt]

Brookwater would more than likely be out for me as I would have to go back to the Gold Coast to pick Rachelle up to drive out to KV.

[Bruce]

So are we looking for a morning or afternoon time here?

If we did morning that would give us time to dawdle out to KV in the arvo and start the beers there on Friday night.

[BrisVegas]

mid-morning?

Tez - are you wanting to play this?

[BrisVegas]

geez - you gotta be quick around here... I rang Brookwater to suss out the times and there is a group booking all morning til 11:30am on Friday 16th Nov.

I grabbed 2 groups at 11:42 & 11:51 so we have that as an option as there's only a few of us expressed interest so far.

If anyone else wants in, please speak up ASAP so I can grab more spots.

[Grunt]

Am keen but not sure if I can make it as I will have to drive back to Elanora to pick Rachelle up afterwards to drive out to KV.

[BrisVegas]

no probs grunt. I'm sure there'll be other games at either the Gold coast or kooralbyn on the Friday too.

I just started this thread for those that wanted to play Brookwater, to try and keep it simple....

[Grunt]

BV, I stuffed up thinking I had booked for Friday night too. After some thought I am pretty sure I have only booked for one night. Might have to give KV a ring and confirm my booking as I never received any receipt from them.

What would the cost be?

[terryand]

mid-morning?

Tez - are you wanting to play this?

Yep, I'm keen, that time suits me fine Vegas.

Terry.

Thanks Jarro, i think that the first nice thing you have said about me. :smt023 your not taht bad afterall. ;)

Looking forward to it, I think

[BrisVegas]

Looking forward to it, I think

Hope you can make it. Haven't seen you on the golf course much lately...

[BrisVegas]

Any interest in shifting the "traditional" Brooky BBQ to after the game this Friday? There's 16 starters this Friday and only 5 signed up for 2nd Dec... The more the merrier they say.

We could have a suasage sizzle and a couple of quiet drinks from 5pm...

Courty & CoffsHacker are staying here anyway and we're pretty much on the way for anyone heading to Kooralbyn Friday night. Everyone is welcome, not just those playing Brookwater Friday arvo.

What do youse all think?????

[Grunt]

Would not be too bad an idea Dion but I have to drive back to the GC for Friday night. If I leave too late I will get caught in the traffic on the M1 won't I?

[BrisVegas]

the traffic on the M1 is usually closer to town than where the Logan Motorway joins up. It's a 4-lane freeway and copes pretty well once beyond the Gateway Motorway merge.

[Grunt]

BV,

Have groups been sorted for Friday? Or is it going to be sorted on the day?
Is it a comp round? If so, what format are we playing?

[Bruce]

I am summing up whether I need to hire a car or not.

Is anyone going from here to KV on Friday night? If so, can I hitch a lift?

[peter_rs]

Not a bad idea dion.

Grunt traffic if fine after 6pm most friday nights.

Mark is out. He's heading off to buy more balls on Wednesday. Room for one more....

Myself, billlyman and nutedit are off to the Roar v Victory game and have to do a runner straight after golf unfortunately.

[BrisVegas]

no worries, maybe we'll stick with the Dec 2 date for the BBQ. AndyP has it marked in his calendar already, so don't want to rock the boat. :wink:

[BrisVegas]

groups:-

11.42am
grunt
Poidda
Billy
Nuttedit

11.51am
BrisVegas
Courty

<spare>

Anyone want to change? poidda & his mates wanted to go off first as they're heading to the Roar game straight afterwards. Tezza's bringing his bro-in-law to take some photos. If a 16th player wants to play, we'll just grab an extra cart for the photographer.

[peter_rs]

sorry about the grouping courty :)

[BrisVegas]

oh yeah, just realised courty is playing with peter_rs on sat too. maybe switch with grunt. We can sort it out on the day if all else fails.

[peter_rs]

Dion what format and tees are we using?

[BrisVegas]

dunno

[Grunt]

is it an organised comp or just a hit?

[poidda]

is it an organised comp or just a hit?

Social! We don't want to be getting cut before the weekend!

[BrisVegas]

there'll be an open comp available on the day for another $7.50. It's usually a single stableford, off the gold tees.

I'd suggest we just play it as a single stab and those that want to go in the comp can do so.

[TS]

Social! We don't want to be getting cut before the weekend!

Social round gets no cred!

[Grunt]

Where are The gold in repect to postion on the tee? Is it Blacks Golds Whites Reds?

[BrisVegas]

gold is about 6100m ACR 72. Take a look at www.brookwatergolf.com

black is 6505m ACR 74 and makes for a long day.

[Courty]

sorry about the grouping courty :)

Oh FFS. ;)

[BrisVegas]

still looking for at least one more player to round out the groups.

anyone???

[senecio]

I'd love to join you Dion, but I won't be able to get the time off work.

However, You guys will be finishing just after 4pm. Anyone planning to hang around after the round for a beer? I only work down the round and wouldn't mind dropping in for a quick drink and a catch up.

[BrisVegas]

anyone heading to Kooralbyn from Brookwater, take the shortcut across behind Greenbank to get onto the Mt Lindsay Hway...

[BrisWesty]

Really want a shot at Brookwater, but can't be this time. Between not being able to get the day off work and one car being in at the smash repairers this week (fixing up previous damage - nothing new) I'm stuck.

no worries BW. Maybe you can make it on Sun 2nd December for the BBQ?

[BrisVegas]

I'd say we will go into the clubhouse for at least one drink, probably around 4:30. Maybe earlier, depends how quick we get around. Might see you there mate.

[Stoney]

Sorry Dion, I am out

I have the pleasure of being on the 5am flight to Sydney.

Sorry, have a great day.

[Bruce]

Hopefully this is not too late for those that might be affected:

The DFO opening may impact traffic movement for those coming down the Centenary Hwy. Please plan accordingly to avoid the most exciting thing to happen in Brisbane this year. Bogans love their shopping.

[goughy]

Shite, that's right Bruce. Won't be an issue this time, but when we go to the coast for holidays later this month we might have to call in. I need some new flannels!

[markTHEblake]

Bogans love their shopping.

We dont say bogans up here mate, we call them Ipswich people

[Jarro]

DFO is a crappy shopping outlet anyway :roll:

Spread the word .... DON'T BOTHER !!!!!!!!

[PeteyD]

No size 32 short leg trousers huh?

[poidda]

DFO is a crappy shopping outlet anyway :roll:

Spread the word .... DON'T BOTHER !!!!!!!!

To right. There's a reason all the shyte aint in the "real shops"

[AndyP]

FWIW half of the stores in the DFO haven't opened yet or even been fitted. Obviously DFO had a schedule to stick to and have done a half-baked opening.

And the traffic was rooted last night.

[BrisVegas]

and the winner is...... POIDDA!!!!!

Thanks for coming out guys. Poidda is the new champs favourite. :wink:

[Trung]

40 points at Brooky.. Good Shooting....

[AndyP]

Nice round, poidda. You must have started finding some fairways.

Look out, here comes Vegas!!!!!!!!

Nice return from Bruce first time around too.

[Flowergirl]

Nice round, poidda. You must have started finding some fairways.

Look out, here comes Vegas!!!!!!!!

Nice return from Bruce first time around too.


Bruce is a dark horse - trust me. Might be worth putting some pennies on him. ( well that's put the curse on him hasn't it!!)

[Grunt]

Thanks for the game Dion

Poidda played well, wish I could say the same for myself. Nice course but boy it bites you on the arse when you are not that far off line. Hopefully the bad rounds are well and truely out of the system.

[Jarro]

Only two more to go Grunt.


:mrgreen:

Nice shootin' poidda ..... burglar

[Courty]

Thanks to Dion for hosting the round (and the bed).
My game was woeful, but I'm blaming the fact the GPS wasn't working. Peter_rs & I would be at least 12 pts better off if it had worked. ;)

Btw, can someone teach me how to read grain. :roll:

[Moe Norman]

aren't the greens at Carins bermuda? the grainest greens around?

[mike]

aren't the greens at Cairns bermuda? the grainiest greens around?

That would be a yep.

I played there a few weeks ago in pennants and couldn't read a putt all day. 3 or 4 putts actually broke uphill.

Sorry Courty, you can't blame the grain.

[Courty]

aren't the greens at Carins bermuda? the grainest greens around?

They're called 328 Tiff or something. Is that a type Bermuda? In any case, I've never looked at which way the grass is growing/ pointing, and I've never had a problem putting on them.

[markTHEblake]

There is Bermuda 328, and then there is Tiff Dwarf, a completely unrelated grass, its a really thin bladed grass and I dont think it has grain.

I havent heard of anywhere using Tiff Dwarf for a couple of decades, which is about when Bermuda 328 became the flavour in northern climates.
