I arrive in syd at 9:30 so a tee off of around 11:00 - 11:30 means i can get to pretty much most of these places grunt - besides I'm playing you so its not like i need to warm up or anything like that :mrgreen:

NSW GC is close to the airport and visitors can get on there on Tuesdays.

Strathfield is a good option if it is a proper open day. I have a feeling it may be Veterans Comp only. Although I almost qualify for that category.

Carnarvon is one of the few courses Coffs has already seen with Ozgolfers, so we should show him something else. Marrickville and Randwick are among the worst courses in Sydney.

Otherwise, I think we should go to Ashlar as long as Chopper and Coffs are happy to travel across most of Sydney.

Will look into the option of Strathfield, will send them an email.

Grunt

No response to the email for Strathfield, will ring them on Monday. If not Strathfield hows does everyone feel about Ashlar?

Coffs, do you have transport?

Grunt

Rang Strathfield this afternoon, Open Day is not on Tuesdays, Tuesdays are Ladies days.
How does Ashlar sound for everyone?

Ashlar is fine by me, but after thinking about the vagaries of Sydney traffic, Wallacia might be almost as good for our two colleagues travelling from the south-east. The M5 saves a lot of time going in that direction.

Wallacia is a walk up start too, might be the clincher. Also get to see some of G69's new work.

So Jamie are you keen for Wallacia or Ashlar? Both would be about the same distance for you. Tee off at 11

Have you guys decided where you want to loose yet ?????

Grunt

Was hoping to have answers to this question today?
I can ring around on Thursday and book a time at either Wallacia or Ashlar.

Grunt

Ok guys decision time

Which course? Ashlar or Wallacia
Wallacia

Grunt
1st May 2008, 09:44 AM
Ok guys Course booked for 4 players.

Ashlar Golf Course - Blacktown
Tee off: 11:03

Wallacia is a walk up start, but need to ring them on Tuesday morning to confirm we are coming so they don't close the comp off, as they normally don't have any comp starters after 9:30am. Would be too easy to forget to ring or have them close the comp off before we start.

Was not today, but I was the best of a bad bunch.

To Craig, Jim & Jamie thanks for the game. Was not much good golf in the par event at Ashlar today. -5 being our best score. Craig & I are going to write a book on chipping, "How to Chip like a an idiot". We both left plenty of shots out there around the greens.

Our match was a up and down struggle all day, I think I lost every hole I got shots on bar one. Coffs got to 1up at the first and there it stayed until I lost another at the 3rd to go 2 down. A couple of good holes and I was back to square by the 6th, won the next two to turn 2 up. 10th was a shot hole for me and I found a way to blow it after being in front of the green for 2 and walked off with a 7 :oops:. Good par on the next (11th) got me back to 2 up. 12 was another good hole with me getting to 3 up. Coffs won 13 to get me back to 2 up, I very nearly holed a 20 footer for half. Squared 14, lost 15 & 16 to go into 17 just 1 up and actually looking like snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory. I sliced the tee shot out onto the adjacent fairway. I then hit my shot of the day to get a 7 iron from around 145 out through the trees to the front of the green, we both ended up on the green with similar length putts (8 feet) from opposite parts of the green.
A funny thing then happened, Jim had putted from the other part of the green. He misread it and proceeded to putt it to next to my marker. He would give me the line for the putt to close out the match. Coffs was calling it a set up ;). Jim missed the putt but gave me a good look. I proceeded to hole the putt and put the pressure on Coffs to hole his putt to take it to the 18th hole. Coffs missed the putt and that was it.

I note that Grant didn't steal my thunder by announcing the result of my match.

I live again after beating Chopper 4&3 in a very low quality match.

Chopper lived up to his name by playing poorly, and I wasn't much better.

I was always in front after being two up after 2. My lowlight was hitting a horrible shank on the fifth, but still winning the hole with a classy double bogey 7. That was the standard of golf we were playing.

I did hit a great hybrid from 180m to 6 feet on 15 to close out the match, but naturally missed the putt.

I was more entertained by the Grunt/Coffs epic. i've never seen so many duffed/skulled chip shots (sometimes one of each on some holes) from guys who just needed to get up and down in 3 to win the hole. They squared the 6th in quadruple bogey 8's.

I was also impressed by their sledging, sometimes at each other, but more commonly at themselves. Both guys were tempted to concede holes at various points, only to see the other player mess up their next shot or shots.

Message to Grunt's next opponent: never concede a hole, even if you've hit one out of bounds.

Thanks to Jim for the game. I played like a busted **** and if I had a chainsaw in my bag there would not be a single tree left standing out there.:mrgreen: Come to think of it, a few may have sustained structual damage and may fall at any moment.

On a positive note I think I had one par to highlight my day.:lol:
