3. simmsy - gawn
4. Golfnut - gawn
5. Bruce Dickinson - scratched, works too much

7. rebjon- now known as Zuesgolfer
8. qbnchopper - scratched, never around OzGolf

New entrants:

9. Yossarian
10. TourFit - gawn

OK so round 1 ends up being: (winners in RED)

Match 2: Johnny Canuck def simmsy 1 up
Match 3: idgolfguy lost to TourFit 1 down
Match 4: Zuesgolfer lost to Yossarian 2 & 1

[Scottt]

I won't get through it, I'm sure, just like I won't tick every course off my UK wishlist, but I will have a hell of a time trying!!

[adlo]

Lost Farm is scheduled for before I get home, so should work. I want to include Tassie GC in the trip as well and maybe Royal Hobart.

Just made a list and it's 24 courses in six states that I want to see before I pop a kid out! Jesus!

That is serious.

I would love to see:
Barny
RM
KH
Newcastle
NSW
National Old & Moonah
RA
Metro
Victoria
Ellerston

What else? (Cottesloe and LK are on the Perth list)

[Scottt]

Mine is:

Qld - RQ
WA - Kennedy Bay, The Cut, Joondalup
SA - RA, Kooyonga
NSW - The Aus, RS, Narooma, Magenta
ACT - Federal
Vic - RMW, RME, Kingston Heath, Metro, The Dunes, Portsea, Nat Old, Nat Ocean, Barwon Heads
Tas - Barny Dunes, Barny Lost Farm, Tassie, RH

Of those I have played, I most want to check out The Lakes and Newcastle again. Only played them once each.

[adlo]

Ah, Portsea, Barwon Heads, RS and Magenta can go on my list.
Nat Ocean? Really?

[Scottt]

I get my Nats mixed up. I want to see Old and Moonah.

[adlo]

That's better.




Courtesy post, ATTN WA OZGOLFERS, see main post and post #212, and read which courses Scottt and I want to play, and how long till Scottt has kiddies.

Golfnut: You are going down. As you have no official handicap, you are giving me 14 strokes Midweek should be fine for me, I know you are struggling to play golf lately.

JC: see you in the 2nd round.

From memory, I'm supposed to be playing off 27 so you my friend are "GOING DOWN......TO CHINA TOWN!!!!"

Mid week might be the go if you don't mind playing in the arvo but i'll gauge how the missus is as to whether we do it on a weekend......long weekend coming up so we may be able to do something....if not mid week will be fine.

[adlo]

Nah, you are dreamin if you think i'll let you off 27. From recent memory you were in the 40's for 9

[Golfnut]

Had a real purple patch about 3 weeks ago where anything I touched with the putter was draining from anywhere on or off the green....played a couple of 42's and a 43 which included an average of 12-13 putts per 9 holes.....alas I have since returned to my usual average/crap putting which has seen my recent scores head back up into the high 40's ....a recent mid week round at Freo public netted me a score of 100 for 18 with a shocking 37 putts (hence the reason for looking at the Oddy 2 ball the other day)

......so go easy on me big fella

[adlo]

I'll give you 9 shots and I think that is generous (especially with my form lately).

If my swing changes take effect, great, if they don't I will die a terrible, terrible death.

[Golfnut]

Sounds fair.....gosh your a generous bugger......you playing of 14 still?
I was thinking somewhere between 22 and 24 would be fair....great minds eh!

[adlo]

Yeah, 14, maybe 15 in 2 weeks if I don't start improving.

Midweek should be OK, work pretty quiet atm. I am going away in 4 weeks.

We could hit Glen Iris or Wembley for a neutral venue.

[Golfnut]

GI sounds like a goer.....i'll start working on the missus....otherwise i'll just rock up in the truck after some morning jobs and we'll get this match done and dusted.....any preferable days for you?

[adlo]

Tuesday afternoons are normally good, but my work changes day to day. Midweek I generally only know the day before if I will be free.

[Golfnut]

Hmmm, short week next week....i'll do my diary and see how it looks....weather looks good too.

[adlo]

No worries, feel free to PM or sms.

[Golfnut]

No worries....Tuesday's looking pretty good though so far.

[idgolfguy]

Bruce,
Let me know when you're ready. I have a set you could borrow if you want.

[adlo]

Golfnut, are you any chance for a Monday hit?

I am not definite, and I don't know if we could get on anywhere, but let me know and we can sort out some details if it is an option.

[Golfnut]

Monday could be a go'er mate......weather says a few showers though.

I would have to make it an early tee off if we did do it.

[adlo]

Nut boy... I posted that last night when I was still excited about this game we call "golf". After another shocking performance today I cannot face playing on Monday.

I will have a week off leading up to the 25th June when I am flying out of this hell hole. That will probably be my best bet, I will be able to play whenever (and hopefully by then I am resembling a golfer)

[Golfnut]

Well that sux big boy....got the green light and all from the missus which is no mean feat let me tell you.....

My forms way off at the moment also.....I was about to post up after Friday's game that if I played like that in our matchplay round, you would p!ss it in easily......hopefully we can both gain some form between now and then.

[adlo]

Nutter, feel bad now, let me regain my mental strength and I'll sms you tomorrow about it. I am over the game of golf today.

Edit: Do you think we would get a game anywhere?

Soft.

[Golfnut]

Well couple of options I could try.....either GI or Kwinana for an early tee off.
I'll do a ring around.
