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.

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.

Mandurah CC: 3 and 17

Thanks but no thanks. I am no Nick Price and the Sonartec clubs were not for me.

[Johnny Canuck]

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.

that's good. he's not an active member on the forum, so he can't play.

we also don't want for him to become an active member of the forum.


simmsy, did you buy the earrings from zigwah's shady online guy?

think of how many new drivers you could have bought.

[adlo]

My bro might get an invite to make up numbers, might have to sign him up for the forum then......

[Yossarian]

Not two giant freaks on ozgolf!

[Johnny Canuck]

there can be an exception for "la familia".

i don't think nuffie has descended from pygmies, so we are safe.

[adlo]

My bro missed the giant freak gene

[Johnny Canuck]

and by the looks of your hugeness, a lot of meals.

[idgolfguy]

Nuffie ain't that tall a whiteman!

[TourFit]

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.

Even I laughed at that...and you are usually so NOT funny JC...

In fact if it were to happen my speech would be very short indeed... I will let the sound of the silence deafen you all.

"Save the seals...club a Canadian"

[adlo]

and by the looks of your hugeness, a lot of meals.

Yeah, and I missed this one.

Not the case, my brother was a giant fweak early on and then stopped growing at 13 years of age. He played centre for his U14's basketball team and 2 years later he was the WA state captain playing point guard

And he always ate all the good food in the house and promised to pay me back and never did. Seriously, he owes me like 7000 packets of multi-pack chips.

[TourFit]

Sorry, he sold them ALL to me !! For my weight I should be your height

[idgolfguy]

For my weight, I should be 6'4" and not 5' 5"!

There are a lot of tubs of butter to shift during a golf swing.

[Pieface]

I couldn't find a chart that went tall enough

Thumbsuck says I'm carrying 5-10kg too much still.

[Yossarian]

I am a little under, 6'1 and 80 kg or so.

[Pieface]

Right where you should be Yoss...bastard

[adlo]

These things can't allow for "big bones"

[Yossarian]

You guys need to lay off the pies.

[Pieface]

A crack habit should strip the kg's off

[Yossarian]

You could charge for tourfits head to pay for the habit

Just putting the finishing touches on the website

Then I'm in business

[adlo]

Sorry simmsy, missed the comment in the edited 1st post. I think stableford is a good idea.

Pieface, are you tyre kicking this thread or you actually going to show up one day?

[simmsy]

yeah definately s'ford.
we have to make sure gumby's like Yoss understand the rules of golf on things like lost balls as well. can't have some guys playing stroke and distance and another lot playing their leather wedge.

Yoss - thanks for the shaft big fella, just gotta figure out what to do with it. And NO i don't need any suggestions.

[Yossarian]

Golfnut could be available for a bit of shafting?

[simmsy]

he's all yours then Yoss.

[Golfnut]

My ears are burning!!!!
