Ozgolf Sandgroper Championship

[simmsy]

Well it has been spoken of in hushed tones over the past few months so i think it's time we see a show of hands for the inaugural west aussie ozgolf champs.
I was thinking of a date along the lines of November 7&8 (due to my own selfish needs and requirements) down at Mandurah-18, Binningup-9 Saturday & Bunbury-18 Golf Course on the Sunday.

Things like entry fee for prize money as well needs discussion.
Let's hope this gets off the ground a little easier than the Matchplay did. There both great formats and both need everyone's support to be succesful, so c'mon y'all can I get a BOORAH!

Hands Up

1. adlo (We) confirmed
2. Johnny Canuck (We) confirmed
3. idgolfguy (We) confirmed
4. simmsy (We) confirmed
5. Tourfit (We) confirmed
6. Yossarian (we) confirmed!
7. Zeusgolf - Rebjon (we) confirmed
8. Gavin - My brother (90% firmed for Mandurah - has to bring his daughter though, but shes good girl no hassels there, ok.)

PM me if you want your name on the list for the w'end trip.

Ok, it looks like we've got a bit of an outing happening here which should be great.
Now lets start sorting out the turkey - This is worked out for the weekenders, daygo's could perhaps just put in for NP's on the day they turn up.

Are we happy to play Stableford?
Par sux and Yossarian can't count past 7 so strokes out!


Prizes??

Are we all happy to put some cash in the hat and divvy up 1st & 2nd
we could have 1 x Np on each 9 which tallies 5 allup.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There will be 7 in the entire w'end so we will all be putting in $40 each for prizes?


The breakdown of money will be (edited 3rd Nov) -

7 punters x $40 = $280

1st place Nett S'ford Points - $100 & a bottle of RED compliments of TourFit
2nd - $50 & Golfing Gift Voucher (Thanks to ADLO) & 6 pack of Yoss exotic beer (Emu Export probly)
3rd - Bottle of Red & 6 pack of Corona
Total - $150

5 x NP's @ $15 each pin
= $75

That comes to $225 with $55 left over for a carton or something for Adlo's family for putting up with us for the night.

Any day trippers (MW or my brother) can put in $10 to be put towards the NP on the course that they play.

So make sure you all bring your money to pay me my winnings! Try and make sure you have some fivers in your kitty so we're not stuffing around too much when it comes to divvy up on Sunday.

THE MEGAWATTY PLATE - AWARDED TO LOWEST PUTTS OVER THE THREE ROUNDS!!
MW has kindly donated a console (game or PC game) which will go to lowest putts total over the 45 holes.

JC's wonderful mother in law was nice enough to "donate" and ugly-assed "Maxibon" polo shirt that says "Maxibon, for biters, not lickers".

It's black, with lovely red and white striping from the neck, all the way down to the bottom.

Whoever has bit it the most and is in last place after Mandurah, MUST wear it at Binningup.

Whoever is in last place after Mandurah and Binningup combined, MUST wear it on Sunday.

It must be worn on top, no putting it under another shirt or vest.


NTP @ B'up will be the 9th RHS pin placement
Back markers will be used on all holes at B'up.
Choose your own pin on the 5th @ B'up.

NTP's:

Mandurah CC: 3 and 17
Binningup: 9 (right flag)
Bunbury GC: 1 and 10

[adlo]

The more the merrier, looking for 3 groups if possible (for the Saturday at least).

Simmsy, is your big brother older than you? If so, tell him Binningup does not have any golf carts, because I am sure he won't be able to walk it!

Topdog.... forgot, will email him now.

[rebjon]

So who am I taking?

Yoss and Rebjon?

Rebjon where you 'dog?

Success

[adlo]

Best avatar ever!

[simmsy]

he's older but i'm bigger!
and yeah he is old!

Just confirmed 3 groups with Mandurah for Sat. 7th @ 7am.

They aren't coring until 9th November, will call them a week or so before to make sure they don't move it forward.


Rebjon - will pick you up on the way through, Yoss can you get to my place or Rebjon's?

How much room have you got ????

[simmsy]

How much gear you taking?

Will be taking the better halves Kluger so a reasonable amount of room, why

[Johnny Canuck]

Kluger? And you worry about $100 on a driver?

[simmsy]

that's why i worry about $100 drivers. paying for my good wifes toys!

good car though. best back seats i've ever seen in an everyday man's car, even giant freaks like you and Adlo can't reach the front seat with your size 15 hooves.

[rebjon]

How much gear you taking?

Sticks(bag), Swag with small sleeping bag & clothes should be heaps of room in the fourbee...

[simmsy]

yeah shouldn't be too much of a problem mate. Yoss will be in the back with the bags anyway, you and me will be comfy though.

[adlo]

Might have to borrow my Dads old man buggy for this, I am feeling the pinch walking 36 this weekend!

[simmsy]

have been wondering about groupings for the champs w'end and thinking i would rather have a coupl'a dollars on the match with a few others so was thinking if there are any other punters amongst us.
I wouldn't mind playing some skins at $1/hole with 4 in the group that makes for a nice little side pot. Anyone else keen?

Also does anyone have some NP markers that we could use?

'as butter

[adlo]

I am in for dollar skins. JC is ALWAYS keen.

No NTP markers here sorry simmsy.

[Johnny Canuck]

all you need is a piece of paper and a tee. there will only be three groups max.

i'm in for the skin.

[simmsy]

cool. you gotta play aussie dollar though mate.

[adlo]

Shame Golfnut wont be there, I am sure he was keen for some simmsy skin too

[Yossarian]

I am always keen for a punt.

[adlo]

I think $2 skins at Binningup, great course for skins.

[Johnny Canuck]

i also vote for "choose your own flag" on the two holes with two. either that or the left pin on the par 5 and the right on the par 3 as they're the "championship" pins.

we should also play off the back tees as the rotating tee business they employ can really take away from some of the holes if you get stuck on the front tees.

it's not overly long, so it won't be too long for simmsy.

[adlo]

As we are only playing 9, I second the back markers and choose your own flag (nominated prior to approach)

[Golfnut]

Shame Golfnut wont be there, I am sure he was keen for some simmsy skin too

Hey...I might still be a chance there as a daygo for at least Mandurah mate....

And get it right, I was after some ASS not just skin

[MegaWatty]

Hey guys,

Do you get to Binningup down the new bypass or do you have to go the old way?

[adlo]

Good to hear mate.

Hey guys,

Do you get to Binningup down the new bypass or do you have to go the old way?

Bypass all the way. Bypass joins back in at Preston Beach. Binningup is about 15-20kms short of Australind.

[TourFit]

Yeah adlo that's true...

...but remember we're playing at Mandurah first. So likely best to just go the old way. Otherwise you are going 'backwards' to go forwards.
