Gailes Black Marker - Friday May 9th - 8:30 & 8:36am

[Courty]

Hi all, I've just booked some flights to come down on the Thursday evening, and will be playing on Friday somewhere. The venue is yet to be decided, although Brookwater is a distinct possibility as I'll probably be staying with a mate out Ipswich way after the game until I return home on Sunday night.

[markTHEblake]

Mate, if you were playing a blue collar course i might be interested.

[Courty]

As I said, Blakey... the venue is TBA. And anyway, you should be doing it for my company, not because of the course. :???:

[markTHEblake]

There is a par 3 in Ipswich?

I have probably got logistical issues with traveling that far on a Friday. If you were to head anywhere further south I would be able to manage it. But dont rely on me, work out where your playing and I'll consider it

[Courty]

Anything is possible yet. Davo is a member at Virginia and lives in Clayfield, so anywhere in between there & Ipswich is most likely.

[AndyP]

Blue collar sounds good.

[goughy]

No collar is more my style!

[markTHEblake]

Gazgolf will have us playing the topless course, beer in one hand of course.

[BrisVegas]

Pity it wasn't the Friday prior, you coulda played the Black Marker at Gailes...

[Eag's]

If I am off that day, I will come along for a bash somewhere Courty :smt023

[Jarro]

If i'm not working i'll come and play also.

Providing Blake isn't there of course

[jaybam]

If i can get the day off work i will be there as well :)

[goughy]

Wish I could do it Courty, but I doubt it, especially with the public holiday silly season here.

[Courty]

OK, Davo has the day off confirmed, so he is in permanent marker. Has anyone got any suggestions for a venue? Any open comps on Fridays?

Gailes - Stroke (Back) - $20 (Burger)
07 32712333You probably don't want to play Nudgee again. Gailes could be one to go too, especially on their Black marker day.

[Courty]

You probably don't want to play Nudgee again. Gailes could be one to go too, especially on their Black marker day.

I've already carved Nudgee once. 8)

[Jarro]

I've already carved Nudgee once. 8)

pfft :smt019

[Courty]

What about Indooroopilly? Is it difficult to get on there? Cost?

[AndyP]

It shouldn't be difficult to get on, as long as you are happy to play which ever 18 the members aren't. There has also been full hole rebuilds lately with Watsonising of the course.

Cost is in the $40-45 area, I think, but if you have the Golf Course Guide it would be half price.

[Courty]

Bump.

Davo, you been reading this thread? Time to stop hiding in the shadows & start making some posts. :p

[Jarro]

Oxley is in pretty good shape at the moment ;)

[Courty]

Bump. There's some interest shown, but nobody has added their names to the list.

Hmmm, I don't know about this. I seem to be away from work for several days about this time. :-k

Did you decide on Gailes in the end?

[Courty]

No decision made yet, I guess that may be affecting people's decision-making for this round.

[Jarro]

What about Northlakes ?

[BrisVegas]

No decision made yet, I guess that may be affecting people's decision-making for this round.

it's a work day too right? I'm already taking a heap of days off in May to watch the kids while the wife does prac, otherwise I'd use a leave day to join you. But sorry, can't get away with it that day.

[Courty]

Nah, too far out.

[Courty]

No probs, Dion. I understand that not everyone on this forum gets RDO's. :p

[Jarro]

Not for me :mrgreen:

[freddy a]

count me in but let us know where

[Courty]

Gailes looks like it may be the go. Davo is going to call them tomorrow to suss it all out. Watch this space.

[Eag's]

OK. Davo has kindly booked 2 groups a Gailes for 8:30 & 8:36am. First post updated. If it looks like we'll need more, would someone else be able to call the club and arrange it?

[Courty]

My leave has been approved.

Excellent. Now I'll have a course guide to follow. ;)

[Rusty]

any chance of earlier - around 7:15 to 7:30 tee off?

[Courty]

'Fraid not. Davo has to drop his missus to work before we can go. Sorry.

[Rusty]

cool. twas just a thought.

[Andrew]

Ahh, Black Marker event. Do we expect any 13's to be racked up ?

[goughy]

I don't think G69 is playing is he?? ;)

[AndyP]

Ahh, Black Marker event. Do we expect any 13's to be racked up ?It depends on how many times I putt it back into the bunker on the first.

[Eag's]

Ahh, Black Marker event. Do we expect any 13's to be racked up ?

No G69 won't be playing this one :twisted:

[steverawlo]

any chance of earlier - around 7:15 to 7:30 tee off?

Rusty, I might be a chance of making this and would be keen to tee off around the same time.
Will keep you posted.

[Courty]

So does OZgolf have any Dingo Hill winners?

[AndyP]

It's not an event that is played that often, but it's only a matter of time before Rusty wins it.

[Rusty]

Rusty, I might be a chance of making this and would be keen to tee off around the same time.
Will keep you posted.

yup


It's not an event that is played that often, but it's only a matter of time before Rusty wins it.

right :lol:

hey one of us has gotta get lucky one time - the ccr's always 75 (par 73)

[Courty]

Bump... less than a week remaining until this one. 8)

[jaybam]

so the tee times are all booked yeah?? Look forward to it. Any excuse to leave work early lol :)

[Courty]

8:30 & 8:36 are booked. Steverawlo & Rusty were looking at playing earlier, but I've heard no more.

[jaybam]

Cool look forward to meeting some more oz golfers. See you there :)

[Courty]

First post updated.

Just needs to advise whether he's in or not.

[just]

Remove pencil, I am in!

[Courty]

Pencil removed. See you there!

[peter_rs]

rusty what time are you playing?

[BrisVegas]

have fun guys. I can't even skip work and join you now. I don't get my stitches out til Monday.

[Eag's]

What have you done to yourself mate??

[Rusty]

8:30 & 8:36 are booked. Steverawlo & Rusty were looking at playing earlier, but I've heard no more.

um, there was no more to report - was just a preference (per posts 49 & 51), otherwise with the other Ozgolfers at 8:30.


rusty what time are you playing?

well Pete i'm not booked in yet, so preference is for 7:15-30. otherwise around other ozgolfers pre 8:30. which suits you? i'm looking to book first thing tomorrow.

[peter_rs]

are you boys of 10?

pennants gailes vs indro tee of at 8:36 according to the fixture book.

[peter_rs]

Rusty I will have to give it a miss how shazza looks like she may get the day off.

[Rusty]

bit strange with that fixture book entry for the associates pennants. talking to Gailes, apparently all Dingoers off the 1st right thru to 12:30ish. i booked in for 7:30.

only 1 spots available around pre 8:30 so threes a tricky option

[Courty]

I booked in for 7:30.

I doubt we'll be there by then, but I hope to catch up with you at some stage, Rusty.

:(

[Rusty]

thanks Eags, but a pity. ok i'll take it. excellent, get to play with the other Ozgolfers. i'll ring the club tomorrow to cancel out of my 7:30 spot. Courty, i'll let you organize the groups - i don't mind.

Just hope im back from sydney in time :) Should be.

[Courty]

Nope, I'm fine with the change. I'm looking forward to seeing your game up close. :)

[Courty]

[Rusty]

Nope, I'm fine with the change. I'm looking forward to seeing your game up close. :)

yep, looking forward to playing with you & Davo.

& if i don't bring my game at least you'll have 2 course guides to go by - mine & AP's.

[Rusty]

bit strange with that fixture book entry for the associates pennants.

huh, i looked at the fixture book entry again - being played at Brisbane GC :oops: must be the new specs.

[Rusty]

woohaa! i just rang to swap my name out of 7:30 to 8:30 - there must have been a mix up with the original booking - they had a group of 3, all unfamilar names at 8:30 & no one at 8:36, 8:42 or even 8:24. so i booked us 2 lots of 4 at 8:36 & 8:42. probably wouldn't have been an issue anyway, but just in case.

[jaybam]

Thanks for that Rusty. Would have been dirty if we got there and no tee times lol :)

[Jarro]

Keep an eye out for County's famous leatherwedge too you guys.


;)

[jaybam]

First id like to thank Iain, Just and Freddy for the game today the company was good and at least we were all able to have a bit of a laugh along the way to keep our sanity. Also good to meet a couple of other ozgolfers in Courty and Davoswain. Was a long slow day which is typical of gailes and i think one of the reasons i only go out there every now and then. The course in itself was in really good nick with nice sand in the bunkers and the greens were great its just too bad about some, if not all of those pin positions they were tuff.Also a lot of water in front of the greens which made it a bit harder also for the shorter hitter to run it up. All in all a good day thanks again guys. P S hope you didnt get to work too late Iain :)

[AndyP]

Gailes defeated all of us today, if we didn't destroy ourselves.

Pins were in really tough positions in two ways. They were usually tucked in tough spots only a couple of metres in from the fringe. And they were generally hard to putt around, as they were hard to read or a tricky slope. There weren't many putts you stood over with confidence.

The tees were back as far as they could go. And as jaybam said, the sogginess in front of the greens made the course really long for a short hitter like me.

I think the slowness was from the amount of shots we had and the trouble on the greens. Oh, and me, of course.

Here's the stunning scores:
AndyP 91 nett 80
Davoswain 91 nett 80
jaybam 87 nett 81
freddya 93 nett 82
Courty 91 nett 83
Iain 94 nett 84
Rusty 94 nett 85
just 116 nett 92

Thanks for the day all. It's good to have Courty down again, and hopefully Dave will play with us some more or post.

[goughy]

Holy High Scores Batman! She tore you all a new one eh?

[BrisVegas]

choppers. :roll:

[jaybam]

Easy to pass judgement when your not there huh guys :) I am happy with my score lol.








Not !!!!!!

[AndyP]

I thought I played worse than my score actually.

Courty never figured out the greens. He couldn't read them and was constantly pumping them long.
Rusty was 2 over through 8, then fell apart after a messy triple on 9. It's the most I've seen him rattled, he just didn't care on the back nine.
And noone could sink a decent putt.

[jaybam]

Better than work though huh guys. Who else got the day off to play golf :)

[Jarro]

choppers. :roll:

What he said :p

[jaybam]

Hey Jarro how was work mate ??? :)

[AndyP]

I used a leave day. It was much better than work. Despite playing ordinary, I'm enjoying golf a lot more the last few times I've played. I think it's because I've been playing crap for a long time, and I don't have any expectations about how I'll play anymore.

[Jarro]

Hey Jarro how was work mate ??? :)

Pretty good thanks :)

I think i'd rather go to work than play the Dingo again ... that place really can tear you a new one :(

[goughy]

I'd have been happy to have been torn a new one instead of work!

[jaybam]

My thoughts exactly goughy. Didnt hurt any where near as much as draging my ass out of bed to go to work would have lol

[Rusty]

thanks for the round AP, Courty & Davo

i'm mentally scarred after that round.

yep, as above it was very tough out there today. i usually enjoy the challenge of the Dingo, but today was borderline silly.

[Jarro]

Where was the pin on the first green ?

Don't tell me it was in that silly mid/top right possie where you can actually putt off the green into the bunker :shock:

[just]

Yes, it was Jarro and a lot of other pins were on slopes so if you didn't hit it, it would roll right past. This game was just embarrassing, I was going well until the turn and then the effort of a short hitter like me trying to hit long into greens using fairways and hybrids into every hole started to take its toll. I'm not accurate enough with these and my short game wasn't up to the task of scrambling to recover. I fell apart on the last nine. Awful stuff. But I'd give it another go!

[AndyP]

Where was the pin on the first green ?

Don't tell me it was in that silly mid/top right possie where you can actually putt off the green into the bunker :shock:It was a few metres back from that nightmare spot, and maybe not so close to the right either.

[BrisVegas]

Easy to pass judgement when your not there huh guys :) I am happy with my score lol.

yes it is. :lol:

[Courty]

Made it home last night... phew!
I'll be crossing Gailes off my list of places to play again. :roll:
Thanks to everybody for coming out for the game. Apart from the train-wreck scores, I quite enjoyed the day. And $20 is great value.

[goughy]

I like Gailes. It's just all you guys keep playing this dingo thingy and having your butts handed to you.

[Rusty]

it's a pity about the May Dingo - the last Dingo i played in in March, the pins were tight, but on more level ground. it was a good challenge. someone musta thought it was too easy. :smt017 ccr was still 75 though.

[Courty]

Holy crap! I was just looking at Golflink. Some bloke from Redland Bay shot -1 gross to win the day. :shock: :shock: :shock:

[goughy]

Yeah, but was he off of single figures, and did he spin his wedges to stop the ball right at the hole?

[AndyP]

I could've shot that if I didn't go in so many bunkers......

I played crap, yet was only a handful away from CCR. I'll take that.

[Courty]

Yeah, but was he off of single figures, and did he spin his wedges to stop the ball right at the hole?

There were a few of our group off single figures, too. :?


I could've shot that if I didn't go in so many bunkers......

:lol:
