Champs Weekend - Monday Game (Colonial, 8:07am)

[Grunt]

Hi All

Who is keen to have a game on the Monday after the champs?

Bruce, Pete, Shazza & I played there last year with that little bloke that is no longer here (forgot his name). Was good and maybe Paul (from caz&paul) can get as many as we need spots. He was starter last year.

Who's Keen

• Grunt
• Shazza RS
• Pete RS
• Courty
• Bruce
• Swanny
• AndyP
• Iain

Colonial GC, 8:07a & 8:15a, $45

[Grunt]

Is this game still on?


Who else is keen?

[shazza_rs]

pick me pick me..... even if i have to play with you grunt

[Grunt]

I will try to not make you play with m, you have had enough punishment.

[Grunt]

Hey guys

I played with a guy today who told me his son who is a GC Burleigh Member told him that they will not play there for a few months as they have lost their greens. He was due to go up there in a few weeks time.

Anyone know any more of this?

If correct, What other options do we have on the GC?

[Jarro]

Go play Hope Island

[PeteyD]

not many courses on the goldie to try ...

[Grunt]

The guy also added the super was sacked. any truth to that?

[Grunt]

No worries, thanks G69. You know how stories get bigger as they go down the tree.

So they have done an aggressive reno and at the same time the Super left. Story then turns into Greens are dead and the Super got sacked.
In that we are relatively safe of a game there Monday Week?

[peter_rs]

so can you get us on cheap?

[markTHEblake]

So they have done an aggressive reno and at the same time the Super left.

He was sacked, or told to resign, or fell on the sword - same thing innit

My info is from a bloke in the who distributes products to greenkeepers. Was talking about this a couple weeks ago.

The greens were treated with a new product marketed heavily by a competitor and this particular bloke strongly recommended they dont use that stuff, whatever it was.

From memory the superintendent at Burleigh didnt last 2 weeks after the treatment, and he had been there for a long time, that shows how badly they came up I guess

[Grunt]

So is that all we have for this?

Bruce & Swanny are you in for it?

Will we have to book it soon? Who booked it last year?

Paul are you still working in the pro shop?

[Courty]

I'm in for this still. I was hoping we could steer in the direction of The Glades or Hope Island.

[peter_rs]

If we did glades would that get anyone else?

[Grunt]

How much would we be up for for those courses?

[AndyP]

I will have used up my quota of golf rounds for the month by this stage sorry, even though I am on leave for the week.

[Grunt]

I would prefer the GC Burleigh Option myself as the funds will be starting to dry up at that stage and another $100 would be too much.

[Jarro]

As long as you're up here grunt you should really try and get a game in at Hope Island ....

.. it's the best track around

[Courty]

My line of thinking is that I don't get the opportunity to play all these good courses very often, so I'll pay whatever I have to while I do have the chance.

[Grunt]

As long as you're up here grunt you should really try and get a game in at Hope Island ....

.. it's the best track around

I may indeed play Hope Island but I have played The Glades before so if it were out of the 2 of them I would prefer Hope Island. Someone make a decision and lets see what we get then.

I think this is the list of who is interested.

1. Grunt
2. Courty
3. Shazza rs
4. Peter rs
5. Bruce
6. Swanny

[AndyP]

Play Robina Woods instead. Top 100 course, and more affordable (especially if a mega member plays with you).

[peter_rs]

you are looking at

$115 hope Island
$100 Glades
$60 Robina
$40 GB

G69 or shavey could you get us on a hope Island cheaper?

[swanny]

I m for Robina or hope island my thoughts are the same as courts I dont get up there very often so would like to play one of top courses.

[shazza_rs]

I think Robina is shit! And if we play there I won't be tagging along.

[Grunt]

Sorry I might play Hope Island another time. As I said earlier funds will be minimal and there will be a next time. I vote got GC Burleigh.
