2009 Champs form guide

[BrisVegas]

Feel free to add your own thoughts & predictions. Mine are:-


Shavey. Always a chance. Plays too much golf at work to rule out.
Jarro. Long shot, but will be a chance if the wind gets up (and over him).
BrisVegas. No chance. Won it all in 07 and hasn't seen his 'A' game since.
Goonie. Will bring 3 entire sets of clubs and will be too confused to threaten
AndyP. Red hot fave. The thinking golfer's runner. Will keep it in play and out of trouble and I'd be surprised if this is not his year.
Rusty. Form of late unknown, but historically strong. Might be overwhelmed by the occasion.
Billy. mate of poidda's, so probably a burgler. Big chance.
Iain. Capable of shooting a good score anywhere. Too contented romantically these days to be a real chance though. has lost the edge.
PeteyD. Has runs on the board at Reddy Bay. Will it translate to a watery, toight, resort layout? Prob too distracted with organising the champs to win the champs.
haysey. Most likely to suffer in high winds. Slim chance. But will have a good view of proceedings.
Bruce. Fancied interstater. Renowned for his 'A' grade style. All depends on whether he's sporting a 'tache this year.
Eag's. All depends on the barrier draw and the number of rums. In the right group, ie. fast rum drinkers, he could come from NAGA to win this.
DC. won the last champs at a brutal layout like this. Totally depends on drinking. Could be a late scratching. Will definitely spew both days.
peter_rs. Mr Consistency, oddly enough, given the enormous belting he gives the ball.
shazza_rs. Mrs Consistency and will probably belt Mr Consistency off the bat if she fires up.
damoocow. good pick for a placing. No form to win
kpac. roughie. Have a $1 each way. Has ho'd a heap lately. Too distracted.
Scarfie1. no form of late. Any late mail?
sms. unbackable fave for low gross. Gun of the field. However, is massively handicapped by weight, shorts, blades, left-handedness. Even money to score a supergoal.
Just. Will have the most Pings of anyone in the field. Steadily improving, stayer. Will be thereabouts.
Goughy. I wouldn't back him with your money.
Courty. No chance. shanking, so watch out on his right. Hasn't done anything of note in SEQ.
blakey. Too much course for the old hooker. Might be a show if it's howling.
BrisWesty. see jarro.
Nudgee. see goonie. value pick if a melee breaks out.
GCSwinger. used to this style of course. Not much ozg form tho.
Gazgolf1. Mr Consistency's really consistent uncle. Good value. Use him as an anchor in your trifectas.
PetethePilot. Mystery runner from parts unknown.
Moe Norman. Lives on the course. Poor value unless his odds drift out. Watch out for his iron play.
DDasey. unable to comment.
davemason. defending champ. Always immaculately presented. A repeat win not out of the question. Hes been doing lots of sandwork in secrecy out on Great Keppell.
senecio. too much hoing, plenty of pace, no rhythm. roughie.
Ned Kelly. putts with a wedge. FNQ's most notorious burglar.
Henno. anything's possible. Rooming with sms could be a factor. Even money to score a supergoal.
Grunt. no chance. will possibly hit one into Pumicestone Passage if he really winds up.
Baz. unable to comment.
Nuttedit. mate of poidda's, is definitely a burgler. Big chance.
Gregh. matchplay semi-finalist. shows promise
steverawlo. Another local qualifier. Comfortable on the coast, and has same strengths as jarro and westy.
Lucasto23. Surprisingly solid chance carrying a light weight.
Jono. see goughy.
Razaar. see blakey.
Kev. mystery trifecta chance. Late mail is he's a scratching. As in "playing off scratch'!
Hux. Who'd bet against him? May need to sell all his clubs to pay for fuel to get home in the XR6T.
Poidda. Will win the punt. Back whatever he's backing.
Choppa. will he play Sunday? Was top 3 after first round in 07. Needs to monitor fluid intake. Occasional golfer, but natural talent.
Mrs Lucasto23. unable to comment.
Daves. unable to comment.

[adlo]

Kev hasn't got his 5th card in. I'll back him for the NAGA now. Off scratch he will stuggle to make double figures over the 2 days.

Prove me wrong Kev!

You can get AGU handicap off 3 cards now!

[peter_rs]

Bruce/Kev, pm me your 4 scores todate and we will look at it.

[Ned]

Can people not tip me please I am no good under pressure.

Apparently not after your expert putting demonstration with henno the other day............................others might refer to it as Sandbagging!!!!!!!

[PeteyD]

Not so sure about golf form, but I found this and it reminded me of the fact that Henno and SMS are sharing ....

Garbage - Queer

Pffft

[henno]

DC just went from short odds to roughie. Looks like he's going to be sober on Sunday.

Keyboad - coffee. ROLMAO

[Dotty]

Co-incidence ?

Both NSW entrants making the trip to Qld, had part of their brain removed a few years back.




Have a good time everyone. Some of us have to keep the country running.

[sms316]

No chance on the gross (these shitty Qld greens do not agree with me - although this may be countered with Jimmy). I'll tell you right now that the dark horse is the pilot. He has slipped right under the radar (boom-tish). I think he might play off about 3.

Picked it like a dirty nose!

Well done Pete.

[ParMaster]

Well can we have a champs rap up?

[sms316]

wrap up?

It is listed in the Over 18s forum. Don't you have access to it?

[ParMaster]

Aha aha aha (SARCASM).

Congratz PTP on your victorious win!

[BrisWesty]

Wrap up

If the rating of the course is based on the quality of the person driving the drinks cart around, apparently we have a new Australian #1 course

+ves
great practice facilities and no questions asked about practice balls
really good evening facilities
a one putt par on 9 and a birdie 2 on the 11th on Sunday
The pool table in the Lorikeet Room. Someone could do a guide showing the variety of slopes on it.
The gallery on 9 on the Saturday esp when the non-ozgolf groups were going through.
Real variety of holes incl good short par 4s.


-ves (but very very small compared to the +ves)
Slightly limited food options for the Saturday night
Holes in the same spots both days
The greens were a lot more grainy the second day.
Bl**dy crows stealing my apricot delight from the cart on the 1st on Sunday.
When I close my eyes I still see bunkers.
The brakes on cart number 15 were a wee bit spongy (in the same way as Collingwood supporters are a little bit rabid) Fred Flintstone would have loved it (feet through the floor)

Thanks to my playing partners - Shazza, Henno, Davemason, Lucasto23, AndyP and Senecio. While the scoring wasn't so flash, it was a lot of fun.

[Courty]

Courty. No chance. shanking, so watch out on his right. Hasn't done anything of note in SEQ.

I only had 2 shanks in the entire 4 rounds of my trip, and if I estimate correctly, I was outright 3rd on the Sunday. Surely that's gotta improve my odds for next year?

nup.

[haysey]

It was fun listening to the Count trying to explain to Mrs Count that being Ho of the champs didn't mean what she thought it meant

I forgot to ask you about that, well done mate
I am proud to say I hit zero sockets unlike my 20 odd last year

That was quite funny, and it took a fair while too!

[poidda]

Anyone know a good knee surgeon?

[just]

Petethepilot?

[Lucasto23]

Anyone know a good knee surgeon?

Jimmy Fardoules, did my knee in 06 and his office is at st andrews hospital in spring hill. my uncle assists him in surgery on tuesdays and reccommended him so he can't be bad i guess

[PeteyD]

Fardoules is probably the best in Brisbane. Did mine way back, did Michael Voss as well.

[markTHEblake]

they way you were walking around on Saddie night, i would be asking for your money back.

[PeteyD]

Wasn't my knee Mark. That was back and groin from the hernia op.
