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.

Yoss don't get too excited now young fella.

[TourFit]

Simmsy, you awake...adlo, JC and I are all still up old man...(he's gone nigh nigh's)

Is there a Dolls House in Bunbury???

Reckon while we're away I'll take on some advice and get me there...

[idgolfguy]

I believe I am older than Simmsy and I'm still up.

[rebjon]

Simmsy, you awake...adlo, JC and I are all still up old man...(he's gone nigh nigh's)

Is there a Dolls House in Bunbury???

Reckon while we're away I'll take on some advice and get me there...

No dolls house which was actually R-Bar it closed about 6 months ago due to lack of interest.

[simmsy]

R-Bar?? Are you talking about the Bunbury Club?

Dolls House is still alive and kicking from what I've heard.

IDG I know you are older than me mate, that is quiet clear to all that have seen you in person, like all old people you're shrinking at an incredibly fast rate or I'm still growing.

I am old no doubt, atm feeling very old indeed.
But i will still kick all of your sorry butts down south

[Johnny Canuck]

ahhh. nothing as comforting as the handicap crutch, is there simmsy?

[simmsy]

mate if we open a book on this event i'll be putting $20 of my hard earned on your lilly white canadian ass. You should wipe the floor with us over 2&1/2 rounds.

[Johnny Canuck]

not a chance with you and your 17 shots. over the 2.5 rounds you get 30+ more shots than i do.

you're a bandit off that handicap. glad you're on my team next week.

[simmsy]

just been thinking about that, this weather is killing me. was gonna play yesterday. I am away all next week get back late friday night. i'm gonna have to try and have a hit on the range somewhere on saturday. i won't have played since me and adlo pretended to play golf 2 weeks ago.
Believe me i will be needing all of my 17 shots next sunday.

[adlo]

simmsy, make sure you get some practice my friend. No point having a bandit of they don't be a bandit.

If I was running a book I'd still have JC right up there.

The other notables would be simmsy and rebjon. Simmsy would depend on how rusty his game is and rebjon would depend on the putter. Playing 3 different courses means it is anyone's trophy though.

Although I know my way around Bunbury, I never score very well there. In fact, if anyone beats handicap around Bunbury I'd say they'll win it.

[Yossarian]

I am clearly going to win this thing playing off 30.

[Johnny Canuck]

i'd put money on the two you mention, simmsy because he is much better than 17 and rebjon as he hits it pretty straight. if you put me with simmsy, it could be his undoing, trying to get the extra 10, to keep up with my 4 iron.

you make a good point about redjon, his putting could come undone changing greens like that, but he is pretty consistent.

i have a hard time believing that id's hcap is what it is. i think he has as good of a chance as anyone.

my game is very inconsistent at the moment.

i had 4 birds on the back nine sunday, played 2 balls on 3 of holes for a little practice and had birds with two of them. i didn't realise that i had birdied 6 of the 9 until i was driving home, and 12 wasn't one of them.

i then went out wed morn and hit it very well. the speedline made me go out again in the afternoon and i was HORRIBLE! i put a ball over the fence on the 5th. there was a big wind left to right, but that is ridiculous! i couldn't hit a green to save my life.

i ended up doing a hammy from trying to swing the speedline too fast. my left leg is seriously killing me. i hope it doesn't hurt in the scramble tomorrow.

as long as TourFit doesn't win, we'll be ok. If he does, we might have to extend it until Monday to accomodate his acceptance speech.

if nuffie were to show up and win, it would confuse the hell out of the people sitting at a neighbouring table with his speech. with him talking out of the side of his mouth, they'd be trying to figure out how and why he was facing us, but his mouth was talking to them.

[rebjon]

I just went back to the old trusty Callaway Tour Blue putter, trying to rekindle some good memories of decent putting rounds I had with the thing.

[Johnny Canuck]

that's it. lots of tinkering for champs....

[rebjon]

R-Bar?? Are you talking about the Bunbury Club?

Dolls House is still alive and kicking from what I've heard.

IDG I know you are older than me mate, that is quiet clear to all that have seen you in person, like all old people you're shrinking at an incredibly fast rate or I'm still growing.

I am old no doubt, atm feeling very old indeed.
But i will still kick all of your sorry butts down south

R bar was the strip part of Reef Bar...

[rebjon]

that's it. lots of tinkering for champs....

Been swinging it for a while now and feels much better, just gaming it now....

[Yossarian]

Is adlo really nick price???

[simmsy]

Hey GolfNut, have you decided which way you're going on this w'end?

Daygo or weekend'o? we need to know, ho!


just when ever you get the chance to ask the better half.

Give her a bottle of wine tonight and bust some moves on her like you tell us all you can!

This w'end has cost me a pair of white gold diamond earrings!

[simmsy]

No pretty sure this is him/her, well we all know it as Adlo -

[idgolfguy]

Haven't said anything about this to him. He maybe playing the CUT though.

In terms of who's going to win...talk it up lads.

I'll be happy to do a Tom Watson and come in second.

Is there meant to be a pic here simmsy? Need help with the internet old man?

[simmsy]

The pic was there earlier today, i remember as i opened the thread 3 times to laugh at my own joke!

maybe the mods didn't like it?

it was a photo of Caster Semenya

[Yossarian]

Is adlo really nick price???

http://www.golfdigest.com/instructio.../oneclub_price

Although nick price had a pretty quick swing

[adlo]

Pity I don't still have the Sonartec hybrid....

[idgolfguy]

I have a Sonartec 3w and 5w if you want to try them?

Have done 4 shafts on my Callaways, 4 to go. Hopefull have them ready for the pilot test at the CUT.

Will fine tune them for the weekend so there won't be any excuses.
