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.

[Yossarian]

Yes, I fear for the future of poor Yossarian if he is getting told where his priorities lie even before he is married.

Hey lets slow down here mr "I buy my wife toyota kluger and spend less on golf crubs because she has my balls in a vice."

The wedding is not an issue. I am in.

[adlo]

Spoke to my brother, he is keen, but in pencil.

Will be sorting out accommodation tomorrow, but like I said, I will make something work.

[simmsy]

good job Yoss!! Glad to see you are on board mate. I didn't really have any doubts about you but enjoy ribbing you just the same. good stuff!

Adlo - no dramas 'bout your bro, bro!
It looks like we will have 7 definates on the 1st tee at Halls Head and then a couple of blow-ins more than likely.

[simmsy]

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 -

2nd - $50
3rd - $30
Total - $190

5 x NP's @ $10 each pin
= $50

That comes to $240 with $40 left over for a carton or something for Adlo's family for putting up with us for the night.

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.

[Zeusgolf]

in.

aldo, i'm voting against tiger, although he would be great for entertainment value. imagine tourfit and tige fighting over who gets to talk?

I think tiger would be great, could take him down the pub for some UFC

[adlo]

simmsy, happy with the kitty, sounds good.

Zues, tend to agree with the canadian. I think he'd be a bit of fun on the course, it is the saturday night shenanigans I am worried aboot. Plus, if we are staying with my family, I do not want to be excommunicated for a particular Californians antics.

[adlo]

Accommodation is all good.

2 spare beds. 1 is for me.

The other bed can be claimed by the 27 hole leader. In the event of a dead heat for the lead after day 1, I propose a countback based on the best score at Binningup.

The other blokes will be on the floor in the study and lounge. I think there is a spare air mattress, 1 couch so a few people will need a swag or air mattress.

Edit: We are booked at Bunbury GC for 0900, Sunday 8/11. We need to clear the 10th tee before the midday comp starts, so I tried for 930 but got told they would prefer us to hit off at 9am to be safe. They must have known I would be bringing a bunch of hackers.

You must have seen me play Bunbury yesterday ???

I was 2 off the lead in a field of 20 after 54 holes...just needed to play solid...got 26 pts And after 3 days of good golf too...Bunbury had some of the scariest pin placements I've ever seen. Apparently with the practice rounds for the PGA coming up this week they wanted to keep the traffic from the designated areas, hence scary pins where they would likely not normally be. Greens were fast too 11 or so (and no doubt speeding up a touch later in the week!!)

The Lajosi is HOT !!! Played Meadow Springs on Thursday with the greens running as fast as I've ever played (around 11.5+ to 12 I reckon) and 3 putted once. Busso was also fast, and for a public course Dunsborough Lakes greens really surprised me with how good and fast they were (although the slowest of the four).

So Adlo, just to confirm we are all indoors?

Will just bring my roll out mattress and sleeping bag then.

I have to pack this weekend as i am away all next week and don't get back until late on Friday night.

[simmsy]

My brother is 90% confirmed for Sat Morn at Mandurah, he will be bringing his little girl (6yo) as he has to look after her that w'end. Shes good though and my brother is as well with guys doing as guys do on the golf course.

cheers

simmsy..

[Johnny Canuck]

is it ok with mandurah?

[simmsy]

is it ok with mandurah?

you mean is the booking ok??


yeah i rang them last week and we are all set, have to tee off at 7am sharp (first group) we have 3 groups booked.

they core their greens on the monday after we play.

[Johnny Canuck]

mandurah ok with the 6 year old. some courses state no walkers allowed with groups. i guess you can just tell them it's your grandaughter, old man.

[adlo]

Yes, we will all be indoors.

Will we need more than 2 groups at Mandurah?

If my brother is number 9, he will happily sit out.

Edit: PS. I have vouchers for Mandurah CC for 25% off green fees and at Bunbury you will all be able to play on guest rates ($25pp I think).

[MegaWatty]

Guys.

I probably can't make it, but I'm going to put up a novelty prize of any console or PC game you want (as long as I have it). It'll be a newey.

So you guys decide who should win it and what for. No need to mention where I work for those that know, but there's a fair collection.

[adlo]

Megwatty, shame you can't make it. Good job on the donation though!

TourFit, Bunbury is playing tough. I mentioned it in another thread as I played there last Thursday. They had just mowed the greens and they were the fastest I have ever seen (by a foot or two). The pin placements were crazy weren't they? Looking forward to a more sedate round there on the 8th.

awesome donation. i'll take a console if i win, for sure!

[MegaWatty]

You won't win, so I'm comfortable with your mis-interpretation.

[adlo]

Or there is always the blasted "edit" button.

[MegaWatty]

Meh. My prize, my rules. Read it however you want. I'm more than willing to disappoint someone.

[Johnny Canuck]

you don't know what novelty we'll put on it.

i'm nominating "top canadian"

[MegaWatty]

Hmmmm. Good point. You'll still be disappointed.

[adlo]

"Best Nuffie impersonation"

[Johnny Canuck]

no need for that. one is enough. we don't need copies.

"best giant fweak"
