    Default Macarthur Grange Precept Challenge "Good Friday"

    Hi All

    Anyone interested in playing Macarthur Grange on Good Friday 25th March?
    It is the Precept challenge, stableford off the back tees. 1st prize is either a Precept Bag or Driver, other prizes are balls, 2 nearest to pin prizes plus longest Drive.

    Cost is $39 with Cart or $20 without Cart

    I spoke with the club this morning and was told numbers would not be a problem.

    So if any of you want to play I will put names down. Just reply with club and handicap, I will book it once I get an idea of numbers.

    See 1st post Cost is on there now

    I will find out I think it is something like $20 plus cart fee. $38 seems to ring a bell but I will find out. i am playing there tomorrow in the Men Of League Charity Day, I will ask then if I dont find out beforehand.

    Grunt,

    I think I'm playing there with a social group on that day at your course. I will check.

    Costs have been added to 1st post.

    Was told by club tee times should still be available as late as Tuesday, but the earlier we get numbers the better for the pick of the times.

    What is everyones prefered Tee time also?

    As long as tee time is not 6.54am or earlier , I'll play.

    As Trung will attest, the later the better for me, but I'll make a special effort. Have driven past Mac Grange a lot recently and it doesn't look too bad at the moment.

    Still need ministerial approval but should be good. Have a mate who's interested but he also needs to talk to the dictator. Between 7am & 8am is good for me. Early start would be good.

    3. Virgal (Riverlands G.C. golflink 2022201894)
    4. Jason (Riverlands G.C. golflink 2022201895)

    Hopefully will have confirmation either tonight or first thing tomorrow.

    Can M.G. be walked or should we definitely be getting carts. Is it the hilly one or is that Camden Lakeside? The M.G. website looks as though it is hill but to what extent?

    Thanks

    I unfortunately can't play (Good Friday is a bit of a busy day for me ), but can I suggest that you pay the extra money & get a cart.

    Hope you have a good day.

    Could you all pm me your handicaps and full names as the pro shop pre prints the card the day before to speed up your time in the pro shop on the morning.

    See you all friday for the game. I will post details up as soon as i have confirmed a tee time later today.

    Grant,

    sorry to do this but minister has revoked playing rights saying that it is family day. Jason's wife now will not let him out either. We were both looking forward to it. Hope this gives the club plenty of time to replace us in the group.

    If no one else notices we can put in a dodgy score so that you and Jim can get some much needed POTY points.

    We will come out and join you at M.G. soon

    I am 82.4% sure I can play Friday morning, so can I put my name down? I'll be driving down from Chatswood/Frenchs Forest area, so I am thinking it will take me a good hour to get there ... umm, where is it, exactly?

    Actually she is but for a non religious person she fels strongly that Good Friday is for family not for playing Golf.

    I tried to tell her it is a religion with more followers than most religious faiths but that didn't go over too well.

    She's in the family way so if I have to concede a small victory to her to
    a) keep the peace and
    b) gain permission for future rounds then I will grudgingly do so.

    Enjoy guys and trust me i will be thinking of you.

    Ok All

    A few changes

    Tee Time 9:34am

    1. Grant
    2. Jim
    3. Jono
    4. ?

    Jono, it is on Raby Rd, Varroville. It is the road Camden Lakeside is on. Not sure if going through the city and getting on the M5 would be the easiest for you on a Saturday morning but it takes me about 45min to 1 hour from the airport.

    Get to Camden valley way exit (1st exit after Liverpool) of the M5 (Careful New exit due to M7 roadworks) Turn right once you get to Camden Valley way and follow that until you see Camden Lakeside (About 15min Raby Road) Follow that for about 4km and you will drop into a valley with the golf course on the right.

    Thanks for the directions, but I thought the game was this Friday? If it is Saturday, I can't make it.

    Jono,

    Macarthur Grange is on the same road as Camden Lakeside, about 1km east, just over the next hill. A very different type of course though.

    In Good Friday (and it had better be Friday :P ) traffic you should get there in less than an hour and ten, but allow a bit more.

    Still not too late to get a fourth I hope

    Well a good round was had by all I think,

    Jono 40 points
    Jim 32 Points
    Grant 31 Points
    Trung 29 points.

    Nothing too spectacular happened apart from me having an airswing on the 5th, just making the ladies tees on the 8th.

    Thanks for coming guys
