VARIOUS SHADES OF PENCIL AND OTHER NON-INK WRITING IMPLEMENTS:

Blue is for Carlton Blues, Scooter is a nickname my old softball team gave me. The green pants have checks and were bought from Rockbottom. Wearing them as I put too much weight on over winter, about 8kgs, and can not fit into my Loudmouth purple and yellow diamond pair until I get off my arse and lose some weight.

See ya Sunday.

Dunnings? Those would be the same type that Blakey was selling. Utterly garish.

I haven't decided on my ensemble as yet, but the NSW sky blue will feature somehow and I'll don one of my Ozgolf polos.

[bluescooter]

That would be them then. Love them, although my wife does not. Tried on my loudmouth this afternoon and in 2 weeks I reckon I could fit into them. Will be seen at the next ACT/NSW challenge. No Ozpolf polo for me a lovely purple Gympie Pines Golf Shirt will be worn.

[WBennett]

Bloody Queenslander ring in!

[bluescooter]

five series in a row isn't it.

I can always wear my QLD state of origin polo if you want.

[Dotty]

Five series in a row? We're 40% of the way there against the Tourettes Twins.

Go NSW Knuckleheads!

[KristianJ]

Guys, I'm very very sorry to have to do this, but I've just received word of an urgent matter that I will need to deal with on Sunday. So I need to unfortunately bring the numbers down to 12.

Benno and Scooter, I'll see if I can give your clubs to matty and get him to take them down to you, and you can give him the money to give to me. Matt, I'll PM you when the sun rises to see whether you'll be able to assist.

Otherwise I'll post the clubs to you guys on Monday and PM you my bank details tomorrow.

Sorry again, fellas - I was really looking forward to it. But priorities have sort of changed in an instant, and I can play Mt B some time in the future.

[WBennett]

KJ

That sucks ass, and sorry to hear.

Hope all ends well, and maybe you can come down to Gungahlin Lakes (or I can play Glenmore) as part of the reciprocal deal.

Benno

[bluescooter]

Kristian,

No worries and don't stress about the clubs we can sort things out. Look forward to playing a gaame with you sometime in the future.

Scott

[KristianJ]

Yep, will definitely do the reciprocal thing some time early in 2011, Benno.

I'll PM you guys my bank details - had a bit of a weird night and only slept for an hour in the end, so probably won't be able to get the clubs to Matt considering I have a cricket game this arvo and some other business to deal with this morning. I can send them through work, so no need to pay any extra for postage.

[bluescooter]

okay no worries, send them to benno and he can walk the 100 metres to deliver the putter to me

[WBennett]

Now we are down to 12 (I move on quickly), we'll need to work out matchups

terrys will win 8 and 7 against whoever he plays. What is the handicap Tez?
wbennett v Dotty in NSWvACTMatchplay Wars 3
BlueScooter (26) vs NSW Highest Handicapper
macjackass - ACT's Low marker? vs NSW's low marker?
Dotty is going down
Matty - what's your number?
tg01 will teach Grunt a lesson
Jerry Springer off 9 - he's our secret weapon
Tongueboy will be too tired after his dirty weekend
Grunt will fall asleep in the cart after working nightshift to lose to TG
Jono is on the comeback trail and a good chance at a vitory - but what is his mark these days?
Philthy Phil - off 20, course could suit his middle of the fairway bunting style.

[terrys]

Just spoke to the course. All looking good. Course is open for full play today.

They had 70mm on Thursday, but it was fine yesterday and is fine again today with some wind. There will be no carts.

They said there was a little standing water on 5 but it is dissipating fast. The worst part is on 17 before the fairway starts and down the left as I posted in the photos.

They are going to try and cut the first cut of rough this afternoon I believe.

temp forecast is 23 tomorrow.

[Dotty]

The worst part is on 17 before the fairway starts and down the left ...

Hmmmm. Benno gets a shot on 17 and the worst place to land a tee shot is short and left ?

I suspect he has been sneeking up there overnight and watering it.



Looking forward to it. See you all tomorrow.

[WBennett]

What are you off Terry? Who do we line you up against?

Thanks for all your work organising. I've also put together two outstandingly half arsed prizes for the day.... All will be revealed tomorrow

[Grunt]

Benno, hope you looked to work out if the NSW boys will like them.

Looking at one more night, no sleep before the game.

[WBennett]

Philthy Phil donated the prizes, I donated the half assed effort. Knowing how we are both hitting them, we'll win them both back!

[Grunt]

Did you actually land a ball at the range today on the range?

[Tongueboy]

I won't be tired...down here now getting myself familiar with the surroundings! Drove through beautiful downtown Burrawang this morning.

see you all in the morning

[WBennett]

Hit a few good ones and a few horrors as well. Stuck between two drivers, might take both and decide on the morning at the range...

[Tongueboy]

decisions, decisions,decisions!! I chucked one set of irons out and replaced the putter! I would say I am rooted for the day

[matty]

Kristian, you can drop stuff around tonight if you want me to take things down for the boys.

[terrys]

Ive been rapidly drifting out since the baby was born and I think it's 22 now. Thats still not enough at the moment. The only way I can hit the fairway is to get out a wedge on the tee, aim it 75 degrees left, and shank it down the centre

[WBennett]

You could be a perfect match for BlueScooter then.

I was off 11 pre child number 1. Its 16 now and rapidly increasing

[WBennett]

As an aside, anyone got a number for Jono to confirm if he is still in?

[KristianJ]

Kristian, you can drop stuff around tonight if you want me to take things down for the boys.

Probably won't be able to get down there, Matt. I copped a somewhat pacey cricket ball in the upper rib cage this arvo and the pain certainly ain't dissipating. I don't think it's a cracked rib, but it bloody hurts to cough and do any sort of backswinging.

EDIT: I've read a few medical websites and compared symptoms. Reckon an x-ray could be on the cards...
