Oh, we need to talk North of the river too?

Man, we are a hick city aren't we?!?

**MegaWatty** · 26th February 2010 12:56 AM

Veefore,

You're spot on about the pitch marks on the greens at Harty. They're out of control! There's a lot of them that have been repaired incorrectly which is making the greens look terrible! I can't believe the difference between two weeks ago and today! It's disgraceful.

**Veefore** · 26th February 2010 01:04 AM

I spoke to the captain about it today and I think we will be discussing it at the next match meeting. I am hoping that we can get something underway, even if it is just a note on the scorecards before they are handed out ASAP.

**MegaWatty** · 26th February 2010 01:06 AM

They're all short, so I'm guessing a lot of guys don't spin it and they're balls are 10m ahead of the plug. But the way they're being repaired is a joke!

**Veefore** · 26th February 2010 01:11 AM

Greens are being cored soon so expect the rest of the membership to just give up fixing them completely for a while.

**MegaWatty** · 26th February 2010 01:17 AM

When's the core due? We do twice a year I'm guessing.

**Veefore** · 26th February 2010 01:22 AM

I can't play for the next three weekends so it must be right after that when I come back to play.

Around the 15th of March I think.

**Veefore** · 26th February 2010 01:24 AM

I was bored so I just worked out JC's USGA handicap. From a GA 4.0 he would go to 2.4 if the switch was today.

**MegaWatty** · 26th February 2010 01:26 AM

I thought he'd have gone the other way because his current handicap is against traditionally high CCRs.

Cheers VF. Interesting to know.

The ACR's were also quite high. From memory there were a couple of 76 ACR's there.
Does KB have the highest ACR's in Perth?
I can't think of a course that would be higher.
It will certainly make it interesting to see what sort of a slope rating it gets.
I am expecting around the middle-of-the-road 113 mark for Hartfield though everyone else I speak to thinks it will be higher. I would be expecting something in the high 130's to low 140's for KB.

edit: I just checked. It looks like there were only 3 days where the CCR wasn't lower than the ACR.

**MegaWatty** · 26th February 2010 10:43 AM

I'm thinking around 113 as well for HF. Surely KB will be the hardest course in Perth. Although without an extreme weather policy, it'll be interesting when the wind gets up. Does the weather have anything to do with slope ratings?

**simmsy** · 26th February 2010 01:42 PM

KB's slope rating -

calm day - 113

seabreeze at full anger - off the scale man!

**TourFit** · 26th February 2010 03:28 PM

So based on that OMR...

...KB on a calm day will be about the same as Hartfield???

I refuse to give up repairing pitch marks, mine or anyone elses that are in easy reach and lately that is a lot.

OK back to JC's handicap or KB's slope rating whichever one I butted in on

**simmsy** · 26th February 2010 06:59 PM

**bergsey** · 26th February 2010 07:08 PM

I think you were on there too JC, he just couldn't be bothered writing the 2 pages worth of content of what he really thought of you.

That will stay with me for a long time that rant.

**Johnny Canuck** · 26th February 2010 09:51 PM

I made peace with Zig. Don't group me with the other heathens.

**Veefore** · 27th February 2010 12:04 AM

Hartfield was rated last Monday. The Vice Captain was there and hopefully will give a report on Tuesday at the Match Committee meeting.

If it isn't all secret squirrel stuff would be interested in how it rated.

**Veefore** · 27th February 2010 09:42 AM

No worries. I'm really curious myself.
