Riverside Oaks Sunday May 29th
After enough interest from everyone following the collapse of the Cypress Lakes game I have booked 2 tee times at Riverside Oaks on Sunday 29th May. They offered 2 tee times of 7:15am and 11:30am.
I booked the 7:15am time. With my Swans membership they will do the day for us at $82 p.p. (The 4 for 3 was only available mid week). I know its early but it will give the rest of the day as Jono requested.
Here's hoping we get the numbers to make it a good day. It might make my job easier in the matchplay if Trung is coming straight from a night out.
1. Trung
2. Virgal
3. Jimandr
4. Aussielongdriver
5. Jono (?)
6. Spiersy (?)
7.
8.

With the early tee time, I think few others are also interested.
1. Trung
2. Virgal
3. Jimandr
4. Aussielongdriver
5. Jono (?)
6. Spiersy (?)
7. 3oneday (?)
8. customclubmaker (?)
Let me make sure with Gary whether he can play or not. I think Pete was keen for this as well ...
We potentially have 3 matches here ...
Trung vs Virgal
Jimandr vs Gary
Speirsy vs ALD

I'm not sure when Fishy will be back from Shanghai.
Last time I spoke to him. He is very keen to visit RO also.

Despite the crushingly early tee time, I'll still play.
Is this a comp game, or standard social?
I've only played Riverside Oaks once, about three years ago in winter. The greens were rock hard and the couch grass fairways a bit patchy because the grass had stopped growing for the winter. Divots everywhere.
What struck me as much as anything was the positioning of the fairway bunkers, at about 220m on most fairways. Trouble for me, but not for the long hitters.
Apart from the 12th (one of the weakest par 5's I've ever seen) I thought it was quite a good course. 18 is a very tough hole for a shortish hitter like myself.
I also remember the kangaroos having sex on the 9th fairway. Where's that 'shocked' emoticon I hope they'll have it out of their system by the 29th.

you sure it wasn't Jono and one of his blow up doll?
Back to the Par 5 12th. Yes it is a short hole but it is also a hole with plenty of water left and right and also around the right side of the green.
You would play this hole with a RM3, 5 iron and then PW into the green and then take 2 putts for an easy 5.
Or tee off with a RM3 and take hit a 3 wood to the green with plenty of water if you miss it right or jono-duff-it along ground

Mate, as you are so fond of saying to others ... "Don't put me down to YOUR level"...

Hmmm ... Jono-bashing again, are we? Just consider Trung, that I have lost my matchplay to everyone on this forum except one certain cocky 6 handicapper whose bark is way worse than his bite ...

If these 2 are gee'ing each-other up, i'm not going to step in. Nothings changed regarding the matchplay for me. I'm happy enough to play for 20c skins against all comers in my group - stableford matchplay too for easier scoring

I don't know what the others think but if the 2 of you are there then why not play it. Other's may not agree but I guess it will depend on Stephen and if Spiersy is coming to the day or not.
By my reckoning this is the list of people playing. Final confirmations by wednesday please.
1. Trung
2. Virgal
3. Jimandr
4. Aussielongdriver
5. Jono (r u definite?)
6. Fishman Dan
7. 3oneday (?)
8. customclubmaker (?)
2 spots to be confirmed.
It is a comp day and is optional if we join in on the comp. If we do we can give all details on the day so we can run that in conjunction with any money games, matchplays or we just do our own thing.

If fishy is there we may as well play.
I just have to find a driver to use as I have broken all my std drivers.
May have to use a long drive club!
Looking forward to it as I like this course.
I have organised a new Cobra 414 Comp Tour but don't know if it will be here in time.

Ok. That looks like myself vs Trung and ALD vs Fishy. time to here if gary is going to make it the 3rd game against Jimandr.
Trung vs Virgal
Jimandr vs Gary (?)
Fishman Dan vs ALD
That leaves Jono and a spot for 1 more, 2 if Gary can't make it. Lets fill this / these spot/s and have a good day if anyone can see through the slits that will be mistaken for eyes at such an early start so far from home.

4. Aussielongdriver
5. Jono

Jim, would you mind ringing Gary at the shop to organise your match? 9949 8899. Gary still only has dialup connection at work, so he hasn't had a chance to log on.

I thought we were playing at Long Reef on the 5th, with you and TS.
I was happy to play the game at RO, but Long Reef will do.

Why don't you ring Gary and talk to him personally? I think he's OK for Long Reef that day, but better make sure with him.
