[Pieface]

Don't worry JC I won't be so cautious in our matchplay.

Pieface by KO on the second! That's a legitimate score right?

[idgolfguy]

After 12 holes I had hit 2 greens in reg, Mega 1.

It didn't help things at all.

Whenever ID brought it up, it sounded to us like it was in a joking manner (especially when Pieface was 4m in front of the ladies on 15).

We would have had no problems with anyone playing through.

Couldn't be helped we just thought 4.5 hours after 13 holes - seemed excessive. Or is just WA -wait awhile.

[idgolfguy]

We did seem to be slow...was it a hole and a half behind by the end

... and midget years are worth 7 normal people years so I can understand the concern over a slow round from the final party.

I'm also older than most of you - so spending more time than I need to on anything is annoying to me as time passes more quickly the older you get.

Sorry

[Yossarian]

Our group was done in four hours wasn't it?

I know a guy who knows a guy who can hook you up with something for that

I mean nothing to see here Zues, move along...

4.5hrs after 13 for real? That is ridiculously slow id. I will try to lift my game in that department next time out.

We were surprised when we looked at the time too. It was 4.5 hours at that point. We were waiting to tee-off on the 14th. The group behind us were grumbling very loudly as they were in a cart.

I probably do need something to slow me down.
I was an 'ADD' kid before that diagnosis was around. Our housekeeper use to drug me with alcohol and hash to keep me quiet as kid in Singapore. It was about six months before my parents realised something was up. I was always asleep when they came back from work in the evenings.

[Zeusgolf]

We tired to push but the heat was killing us......

[Yossarian]

Ignore.

[Pieface]

How long were the first two groups in the clubhouse for before we arrived?

[Moe Norman]

no chance for me

[Johnny Canuck]

We tired to push but the heat was killing us......

I was keeping an eye on the time as well and I remember how surprised the group was when I told them the front 9 took 2:40. We were only 1 hole behind at that point.

I remember trying to push on the 15th tee.

JC, right, behind a tree.

Zeus, further right, provisional way further right.

Pieface, immediately right, directly off a tree which elicited chants on "Jug! Jug! Jug!" before the ball stopped 4m short making its way back past the ladies.

The fact that the group holed about 1 putt longer than 8 feet on the day really didn't help things on greens when we weren't wiping holes and everyone had to putt out.

I would guess that we had more than 150 putts in total.

[zrw]

Adlo sorry can`t make it wife working all weekend me got kids

[Bruce Dickinson]

How long were the first two groups in the clubhouse for before we arrived?

enough time for two beers

[simmsy]

i had two beers, gatorade, hamburger and a egg and salad sandwich before the final group got home.

[MegaWatty]

How many had electric buggies?

[simmsy]

do yourself a favour Mega, go and get one.

you are a big enough ho to own atleast 2 of them, like IDG

[MegaWatty]

Can't buy one yet mate. I'm only 32, and am dropping kilos at the
moment. Got to keep pushing until I'm at least 35. The Pings are a big enough issue for me at 32. I think you have to be at least 100 to own some!

[idgolfguy]

Two in the first and one in the last. Just one of those things, the second last group was having a bad day for every one and the last group was generally having a good day among other things.

Electric buggies may have made a difference but the first and second groups were in on a reasonable time.

[MegaWatty]

I was just trying to work out how many ghey Ozgolfers were out there.

[idgolfguy]

The powered buggies are cheaper than the quality push buggies of Ebay. Mine have been quite reliable and look very similar to the locally bought models of the same age.

The three and half year old model is still on the same battery and could manage 36 holes still. The newer one is almost two years old now. However, I am not a heavy user and usually use at Pennants, comps an 36 holes in one day.

[MegaWatty]

One day. I've got my Smoothy for the moment. It'd be good to have a powered Smoothy to help take some strain off the frame, but it would have to have sone pretty tight springs to keep it off the ground because of the weight of the battery.

I'm going to be half way there 4 or 5 years or so. Maybe I should retire my 7 carry bags and get a couple of Eagle and birdie bags.

[idgolfguy]

I should have stayed home on Sunday as I am sitting at the after hours DR waiting to for him to show up. Due to swelling on my forehead, my whole face is swollen and haveno idea what's going on.

May have to take the morning off. No - wait... There's a slot free for Scroungers tomorrow morning at 6.10. I wonder if that will fly by the Mrs?

I'll pencil myself in and take it off later tonight if I have to.
