OZgolf Merit Bars

[AndyP]

Blinkies are out, Userbars are in.

Keeping with the theme of keeping signatures tidy and reducing seizures, Courty has done some nice work on some userbars for our awards, such as Champ and POTY. I think it's a good idea and they look great.

The three categories of Merit Bars are below:

Gold
OZgolf Champion (nett)
Player of the Year
Matchplay Champion

Example:

Silver
Most Improved
Classics/Major Winner
Vardon

Example:

Bronze
Gross Champion
Fireball Matchplay Winner

Example:

So if you've got your name on the Honour Board, you're eligible to have one or several of these. One is probably enough though.

Courty is still working on a couple of them, and I'll need to upload them to our server so we don't need to access an external site, but if you want one, let me know and I'll get back to you with the image code.

[AndyP]

Get back to me when you can avoid having a 13 on a hole during a classic.

[markTHEblake]

very nice, dont think we need names on them though.

and if someone wins more than one title, you can just add a number beside it. Otherwise someones gunna end up with more userbars than Idi Amin had medals.

p.s. one for long drivers?

[Fishman Dan]

What colour for OzGolf's worst putter?

[dc68]

Guess I better get one.

[andylo]

AP, I want one :)

[AndyP]

very nice, dont think we need names on them though.I don't think it makes it look any worse. Stops others from using the image too. ;)


p.s. one for long drivers?Pffft. Not worthy.


<--is this sig too big?
Yes

[Moe Norman]

Put me down for 1 x Putting Champion 2006

[markTHEblake]

would anyone notice you had it anyway :-)

[poidda]

I don't think it makes it look any worse. Stops others from using the image too. ;)

Damn. There goes my idea to get one of these!

[dc68]

Yes






booooooooooooooooo

[AndyP]

I'm quite happy to edit yours for you, dc.

[mikezone13]

Great idea... all I have to do is beat jim or zipptopp to get myself one...

Brint it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dc68]

I'm quite happy to edit yours for you, dc.



Better?






NaziP

[AndyP]

Looks shit, but that's just my opinion.
Why didn't you just reduce the font size?

[BrisVegas]

Better?

Why not jump on the bandwagon and make yours like mine....

ie.

And then | Speeder Rescued Titty | from Shallow Apex Forging | in Green Zone

[Choppa]

Do I get one for my blue balls?

[goughy]

I'd suggest a warm bath!

Top poster award thanks ... and make it a nice one, not one of those crappy looking things displayed above :roll:

[Courty]

[B]and make it a nice one, not one of those crappy looking things displayed above

I won't be making you one with an attitude like that.... oh, wait. You haven't won anything worthwhile anyway. :lol: :p

Long drive and putting is still missing.That's intentional.

[Jarro]

what about a HIO userbar for Pedro ;)

[Courty]

I'll have the 2007 batch of these done in the next few days.

[PeteyD]

what about a HIO userbar for Pedro ;)

I'd think it would have had to be at an OzGolf day for this. I believe Eags has one of those!

[AndyP]

I'll have the 2007 batch of these done in the next few days.
It's up to BV, but he might want a combined 'Triple Crown' superbar or something.

[BrisVegas]

I'm not too worried. Sounds like the jury is still out pending the preferred lie fiasco on Sunday anyways.

[Eag's]

I'm not too worried. Sounds like the jury is still out pending the preferred lie fiasco on Sunday anyways.

It's all good Dion, communication breakdown yes but nobody is really that concerned about it.

[AndyP]

I see that Courty has already passed your new userbar onto you, BV. I think it looks pretty cool.

I was holding off until tonight, when I'll upload them onto the OZgolf server, and provide the links, which should make for faster loading, etc.

I'm not complaining, I get paid for it.

I still have plenty of internet access at work though, even after normal hours. How's yours going?

What the hell did you do in your 8:24a edit then? You had to go back twice?

I'll let your last post go.

One of the mantras we have thrown at us at work is "First Time Quality".

[peter_rs]

I went to edit it, then decided to post then decided to do the edit.... I never did like choices.

Lucky I don't consider this forum work, more a home :). Guess it just proves I cann't work and Ho at the same time.

[BrisVegas]

is there a statute of limitations on old userbars?

i reckon mine's got mileage for another 10 days or so.... but the 2006 ones????

[AndyP]

I don't think there is. Yours should have a lot more than 10 days mileage though.

[AndyP]

Would you like one of these for your signature, Rusty?

[markTHEblake]

is there a statute of limitations on old userbars??

i see no reason why you cant have as many as Idi Amin. heck if you won the champs in 2004 flaunt it !
be neater if you joined em up as an animated gif though.

[Rusty]

Would you like one of these for your signature, Rusty?

um, it's gone over my head - "almost won something" goes in the bar??

[AndyP]

Sorry, I've now changed the Wynnum Cup header post to stop my confusion.

So........
Would you like one of these for your signature, Westy?

[Rusty]

oh, so close. i should've just shut my mouth and just said "yep, sure"...

[AndyP]

Come and get them worthy winners. It's up to you as to whether you use them or not.

The code is the text you would use to put the image in your signature.

[Courty]

Swap the word "image" for "img"

[jimandr]

Thanks Courty.

[AndyP]

Sorry about that.

[Rusty]

thanks gents. when trying to add any one of the bars to my sig, i keep getting the message "Remote file too large". what do i do, to do add each of these correctly?

(Edit Signature -> Upload Signature Picture -> in Option 1, pasting "http://www.ozgolf.net/images/MeritBars/2008POTY-Rusty.jpg (http://www.ozgolf.net/images/MeritBars/2008POTY-Rusty.jpg)")

[AndyP]

For some reason the code statements above have added formatting (colour) to the text which seems to screw it up.
Don't use the Upload Signature part, instead either click on the image button (Mountains) in the edit signature section and paste the image url in the box that pops up, or paste the code that I included, but then remove the text formatting of it (two As with a cross thru them)

[BrisVegas]

c'mon you clowns, get with the program! :wink:

As far as I can work out, these are all of the merit bars for the last year. Feel free to grab the code from the image and put it into your signature. Some of them are already in sigs, and I'll put a couple of others from the Champs into member's signatures.

Is poo-coloured okay for the WA Champ merit bar?

I'm sure Courty will be happy to make one up for you.

[Johnny Canuck]

Poo-coloured is not really what I had in mind, that is taken by Mr. Fit's wooden spoon.

A nice white and red combo would be swell!

[AndyP]

Silver it is.

[Johnny Canuck]

Silver and red is even better. Love your work, AP.

[markTHEblake]

AP, has the spoon been allocated as discussed?

And can we get a 2009 WA Matchplay winner when it is decided in December??

Might as well pencil my name on it anyway......

[adlo]

I thought you would know that I care.

OK, I think whoever wins the semi between JC and me is a shoe in.

[markTHEblake]

The idea for the spoon is that it is carried by the NAGA from every Ozgolf day (big ones), just like the original spoon we had, not just for the champs, because the real spoon didnt last long when some dummy spitter lost it.

[Grunt]

I will try and make up a decent spoon trophy that we can present to Jono at our next game.

[ParMaster]

TBH Zac should win Most Improved. How many times has he had "the best round of his life" this year? Winning B grade champs at his club by a significant margin. Recently shooting 46 points or some stupid thing. It's undeniable that the most improved award should go to him.

[zacdullard]

I have only been here since May. A long serving Ozgolfer should win this award.

[markTHEblake]

PM, perhaps you should make the nomination in the thread about Most Improved nominations? its no good saying it here :-)

[just]

Zac
If you've improved over the year you are just as worthy as anyone else to be in the running.

[AndyP]

I still think just is the favourite. It's a shame that I don't have any say in it.

[Grunt]

How about a NSW POTY merit Bar? And for that matter all the other states POTY?

[BrisVegas]

pretty soon everyone will have a merit bar.

[AndyP]

It's easy to claim one or two, BV, but it takes a master to earn as many as you have.

[BrisVegas]

You could have a major in WA if you get a few more ISG'ers to switch and get 16 players. I'll start you off with a list of players from WA to contact:
1.lucidair

[adlo]

Ha ha. I have played golf with her. Ah, memories. Another name for the list is Jack_Golfer. What a hoot they guy is.... not.

Anyway, is 16 players some sort of number to get a major up and running? Apart from our champs, we could get some 16+ players days going, and have a mid-late year major in 2010. It would have to be called the WA NWRNTY Cup.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm in.

[GolfBallWhackerGuy]

Excuse my ignorance as Im a newbie, but when do they hold these tournaments and who is eligible to play? Thanks

Hmm so looking back if 16 is the magic number for a Classic or Major...what about Brisvegas's Xmas Brooky Bash - 16 players neat? I seem to recall winning that ;-)

And while I am bleating what about the day 2 win at the champs...surely that qualifies for 1/2 a PetethePilot banner or something :-)

And while I am bleating what about the day 2 win at the champs...surely that qualifies for 1/2 a PetethePilot banner or something :-)Nope. What do pros get for winning one round at a major? SFA?

Strike me pink - is this made up as we go along? It's 16 players or what....do we have a special grade of membership on the forum that no one knows about?

More importantly have I missed out on being given the secret handshake? :-)

Does this mean we need 4 "special" regular members in an open 1st Tee game to qualify for the player of the year points as well????

[Daves]

You don't know the handshake??:-k So you were just being friendly then? :smt108Shafts, handshakes you are a worry Huxtable:mrgreen:

[just]

Hux
The rule has always been 16 Ozgolf members, Mark Ox isn't a member as far as I know. Now if Donut had turned up you would have had enough.

[BrisVegas]

Oxy is a member. Stuart isn't yet....

[just]

I thought it was one of them, I picked the wrong one.

[AndyP]

Hey Hux, have you figured out how to reverse gloating PMs yet? Bad luck. Win a real major next time.

Don't worry about an apology.

[Iain]

Yep, always been 16 regular Ozgolfer's for a major. Was discussed about 2006 I believe....

Can't find the thread/post for it.

[Iain]

Don't worry about an apology.

[mike]

What is the "Blue Balls" merit bar Ned has?

[Eag's]

Stupid bloody merit bars [-(:smt090

[Yossarian]

Can i get one for softest gheyest ozgolfer? :D

[markTHEblake]

Strike me pink - is this made up as we go along? It's 16 players or what....do we have a special grade of membership on the forum that no one knows about?

Its called the law of first mention. So not made up as we go along at all, except for the wanker that first mentioned it. I wonder who that was?

[mike]

What is the "Blue Balls" merit bar Ned has?
Well? Does anybody know?

[jaybam]

Stupid bloody coppers ;)

[Hux]

AFAIK No need for reverse gloating. My life is based about published rules and regulations, not make it up as you go along stuff that someone seems to remember from 2006 maybe kind of sort of. I saw 16 names played and don't being an Ozgolf day can't see why we need to check who or how long someone has been a member. Obviously I need to adjust my perspective for Ozgolf's establishment.

16 players, 16 members whatever. I've moved on. An unusual set of rules but hey if that is the rules then I can play by them. Any chance these Ozgolf rules could be made a sticky for those of us that haven't been around that long.

[Hux]

Stupid bloody coppers ;)

Yeah I know - lucky we have guys that can add up on the side of the road.

[AndyP]

My life is based about published rules and regulations,Please point me to these published rules and regulations that led you to believe you would get a virtual merit bar.

[markTHEblake]

Hux me old mate :-) I am probably just as much as stickler for published rules and regulations as you, and you are right, it should be written somewhere, and stickied. But like the first rules of golf, it took some time for the general and applied conventions to make it to the first rule book.

The idea behind "16 Ozgolfers" is that for an example (a ridiculous one to clarify the point) if there was 4 Ozgolfer and 12 mates then its not really an Ozgolf day is it, so 16 was the line drawn in the sand.

I think if one was too look hard enough, you may well find that the conversation occured in the actual Honour board thread.

[markTHEblake]

Well whaddya know, it is the 1st page of the Honour board thread :-), and i was right, it was a wanker that bought it up.

So you may consider it published and stickied :-)

p.s. the honour board has dissappeared, even the broken link is missing.

[AndyP]

I think if one was too look hard enough, you may well find that the conversation occured in the actual Honour board thread.It did. And it's stickied. Perhaps there should be more exceptions to the rule, so people don't get left out.

I'll dig around to see if I can find something for jarro and yourself too.

[Hux]

Well point me at the one that says I don't then Andy....

Sorry you are moderator I must bow to your superiority.

[Yossarian]

Can i consider my application for a merit bar denied?

[AndyP]

Well point me at the one that says I don't then Andy....

Sorry you are moderator I must bow to your superiority.Ah, you're playing the moderator card. Nice!

[Hux]

Ah, you're playing the moderator card. Nice!

Of course...moderators set the rules don't they?????

Or is this a going to be anarchy? EDIT: Sorry more anarchistic :-)

[markTHEblake]

Of course...moderators set the rules don't they?????

Nope, that would be like saying the Coppers make the laws. :-)

[AndyP]

Of course...moderators set the rules don't they?????That's where people get confused. Moderators set the rules for posting on the forum, etc, but not for any comps, games that are organised. I am no more of an authority on that than any other member, however I am involved in it, as are others.

Actually, I take that back. I'm off to the WA Champs thread to set some rules for their game.

[mike]

Can i consider my application for a merit bar denied?
Yoss, I can make some for you if you'd like. Check mine out.

[markTHEblake]

There is a precedent where certain persons have awarded themselves their own merit bars. So go for it!
(p.s. i dont mean that wanker mike, i meant another wanker)

p.s. Merit bars have no cred. Its only the Honour board that counts.

[Yossarian]

Mike that would be amazing. I think adlo would be up for the one on the right, but change it to JC.

[AndyP]

The design of those merit bars are OZgolf.net proprietary. Please remove them.

[adlo]

Mike that is hilarious and Yoss is correct, I'll take one on the right. However I have now outdriven the Canuck twice.

AndyP, our champs are not going to crack major status, so don't worry about it.

[haysey]

Mike, that is frikking awesome. Can I have the one on the right too?:mrgreen:

[Courty]

Can I have one for outdriving Tomson once? :p

Oh, wait... I'm the one who makes them. :roll:

[Jarro]

It did. And it's stickied. Perhaps there should be more exceptions to the rule, so people don't get left out.

I'll dig around to see if I can find something for jarro and yourself too.

And you think i want one because ???

My userbar will do me just fine thankyou

[Zeusgolf]

Mike that is hilarious and Yoss is correct, I'll take one on the right. However I have now outdriven the Canuck twice.

AndyP, our champs are not going to crack major status, so don't worry about it.

I'm wondering if i qualify for a merit bar for this years wa champs ???

[AndyP]

Did you have Champs?

[TourFit]

Erm...no.

We just made up some shit in three or four threads of 20-40 pages each...just 'cos its boring as batshit on this side of the country and we've nothing else to do. Oh, except prop up the failing economies of our third world states...

[Zeusgolf]

[AndyP]

The results haven't even been posted in the first post of the thread. ****ing amateur hour.

[Iain]

You need to read thru all 40 odd pages and figure out the winner AP.

[TourFit]

Not really...we're all still pissed !

And there'd be so many spelling mistakes, Henno's head would explode


:smt073

[henno]

That superfluous space before the exclamation mark was enough to cause a small headache.

[Yossarian]

:lol:

Gold.

Who started that thread someone hassle them to get the scores up.

[Courty]

Here's some new (and old) Merit Bars:

[Courty]

And another one from earlier in the year:

[Nuffie]

Courty, could I also get one made up for the WA Summer Cup Major - that I won earlier this year?

[AndyP]

I've asked him before, but I think he has something against you. It could be the use of all uppercase in your username.

[Courty]

Courty, could I also get one made up for the WA Summer Cup Major - that I won earlier this year?

Ask and you shall receive:

[Nuffie]

Thanks courty, great response time :)

[TourFit]

Courty...how do you tell between Nuffie's Summer Cup win and idgolfguy's Winter Cup win?

Both were Majors...don't they deserve a different designation other than 'classic'?

[Yossarian]

I think how they are is fine. We all know who won what.

Courty can I get one for "worst putter ever" ?

[AndyP]

Both were Majors...don't they deserve a different designation other than 'classic'?Classic = Major

[sms316]

Get on with it Count. This might be the only one I ever get!

:mrgreen:

[just]

You have to send a PM to County, and ask nicely. AndyP said so.

[AndyP]

That was the process you had to follow. Not everyone else.

Any others I should know about?I can make my own thanks.

[Courty]

I can make my own thanks.

So I've noticed. :roll:

[Nuffie]

Hey courty, am I entitled to a bar for winning 2011 WA champs from 2 wks ago and also a bar for runner up in our 2011 classic (summer cup) that was played at Secret Harbour yesterday?

[Ned]

Hey courty, am I entitled to a bar for winning 2011 WA champs from 2 wks ago and also a bar for runner up in our 2011 classic (summer cup) that was played at Secret Harbour yesterday?

Nice habit of being late Nuffie!

[PeteyD]

First loser does not get a bar, what you think this is?

[Nuffie]

First loser does not get a bar, what you think this is?
I'm not sure if you get a bar for runner up in a classic or not. But some of the guys suggested I ask as they weren't sure either.

[PeteyD]

You are sure now :D

Congrats on the champs win though.

[Nuffie]

Nice habit of being late Nuffie!

Probably not fashionably late though. My hair has been cut since the gel useage at champs was causing a profound effect :)

[Johnny Canuck]

It's a major, not a classic, Nuff.

Yes, I am entitled to a bar.

[Nuffie]

You are sure now :D

Congrats on the champs win though.

Yeah thanks Pete. Would be nice though if I could reproduce that sat round score a bit more often than once every 5 months. Don't we all..

[Nuffie]

Doesn't a classic=major according to an earlier post?

[Ned]

Apparently this is the only Merit Bar, colouring and style that counts now in WAnker land!:roll:


:wink:


11542

[Nuffie]

What's doing wif dat? Why is MegaWatty's username red?

Guess that goes hand in hand with his red hair and also his passion for the 'Red V'.

One thing's for sure, I wouldn't want my username in Parra Eels colours right now... they are on track to be wooden spooners.

[PeteyD]

Nah they will beat canberra.

[Courty]

Hey courty, am I entitled to a bar for winning 2011 WA champs from 2 wks ago and also a bar for runner up in our 2011 classic (summer cup) that was played at Secret Harbour yesterday?

Sure thing, NUFF. Are you gonna put it next to the one you pestered me to make last year? :roll:
