    Default Ozgolf Sandgroper Championship

    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.
    If you wipe a hole it counts as 2.5putts!

    NOVELTY "PRIZES"

    TourFit "PISS POOR PUTTER AWARD" has donated a custom fitted putter to MOST PUTTS (NO TANKING TOLERATED)
    ADLO has put up 1 dozen Callaway iX pills for the FIRST EAGLE of the comp.
    JC has donated 1 dozen Callaway Diablo pills for the first to make 2TWO's in the one round or hit Yoss in the berries! In fact I will put up another $50 if someone hits Yoss in the berries with a fully fledged shank!
    SIMMSY is putting in 100 clams for anybody who jags an ACE (only 1 prize on offer) declarations are important!
    TourFit (again) has put up a bottle of JW RED label TO BE FOREVER KNOWN AS THE "YOSSARIAN HANDICAP" FOR LAST PLACE WITH S'ford Points.
    THE IDG LONG JOHN SPOON AWARD - 7th hole at Binningup - PRIZE ALLOCATION PENDING
    ZEUSGOLF ENCOURAGMENT CUP - Best 9 holes s'ford score at any course. - PRIZE ALLOCATION PENDING


    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

    Looks like you're playing with yourself (again Tourfit)

    Yeah i just spoke about 3 groups as that was the max M.CC could allow. Would be suprised if we get that many. I can sleep in my car if need be but i ain't sharing with Yoss.

    I've got a tent (6 man - 3 real size) and the weather should be quite good at that time of the year.

    Is it worth hiring a van? I'm not much of a drinker so I am happy to drive.

    We could probably accomodate a fair few at my old mans place, but idgolfguys suggestion of pitching a tent out back might make it more possible if we have 12 golfers. I'd say we could get 6-8 golfers indoors, pending approval from the old man himself.

    JC and adlo...if that's the way you feel I'll pull out !!!

    After all if numbers are the potential problem then obviously 2 heads are better than 1...

    ...even if they are yours...and of the d**k variety !!!

    Do you want to be the big or the little spoon simmsy?

    You should probably get a bed though, what with your old man back.

    Hey simmsy, copy the list into the main post for ease of reference and keep updating it.

    Tourfit, don't cry buddy.

    Edit: and for those who don't commit for the weekend and just want to play one day, that should be fine and there should be some form of a prize for each course, but obviously they are ineligible for the big prize..... and if numbers get toight, I think full weekend golfers should get preference.

    adlo, TourFit no cry...not yet, and not so far today. BTW, have you thought of getting an agent...that way you wouldn't have to handle yourself.

    I'm out being in Sydney that weekend.

    Honestly though...getting together with a bunch of blokes and pitching tents together in Adlo's old man's yard...I'm not sure our relationship is at that level yet

    Good point - I expect most would be done last month and this month. We should be safe. There should be lots of sunlight and grass growth.

    Vines did Ellenbrook two weeks ago and it has come back quite quickly. Lakes will be done this week I believe.

    Bunbury is coring now to ensure greens are slick for the PGA late October.

    Binningup, we will never know, but I'd say it will be soon too. Not many courses leave it that late.

    I have seen most have started already, kind of strange considering the weather at the moment...

    Anyway been given a leave pass for this weekend which is good considering I'm going on a golf trip the week before to Bunbury from my WAGL club....

    So it sounds like everybody is gearing up for the date set by old man sim.

    Old man, get Rebjon on the list.

    I could get a ring in (brother) for the weekend if we need to make up numbers.

    every trip south needs a token black guy.

    he's a pygmy, i believe.

    id can be our token (pygmy), he is probably about the same height. Here he is pictured with one of his 16 guitars....

    - although it looks like a slightly taller version, it will do.


    simmsy continued the search for the extra 10 today with my R7 Quad/ ProLaunch Blue today. I got a text very early on telling me how much he loved the sound and feel.

    I got another text asking how much for it!

    I'll let him hit it a few more times and truly fall in love before I take it back (unless he can give me a decent offer to put towards a 9015D!)

    Hasn't simmsy got the Wilson on the way?!?

    That extra 10m search is driving his into an early grave. No wonder he looks and acts so old!!

    TM drivers have a great feel. JC, I could see you hitting a 9015D actually.
