Grunt V Peppas - The Grange 30th August

[Grunt]

The time has come and Peppas and I have a tentative date set for our Match-play
It is back on!
Where: The Grange
When: Friday 23rd July 10:00 Tuesday 30th August

Should be an epic hack, me, the 21 marker playing like a 50 marker with spots of low teens in there game somewhere, against Peppas the unknown off 35.
Me giving him 14 shots could be interesting.

If Jimandr get his RDO he will be witness to this epic Hackfest, could be interesting with wipes halving holes

What is this track like after rain? Was it's mother a mudder?

[Peppas]

not looking good at the moment. If it is like this tomorrow I will be out. Am battling to get over a cold and the last thing I need is to spend 4 hours in the rain

Waaaaaah

[Peppas]

How's it looking now? Looks to me like the area has only gotten about just under 2cm of rain over the last 3 days. Shell cove looks like its gotten over 10cm!

[Grunt]

I just got home from driving to the Northern beaches and back and it poured all the way there and back. As I said I will re assess in the morning and give an update

Mac Grange is not too bad with rain but will more than likely have a few very wet spots where the hills lead all the water to. There may be a river crossing the 18th Fairway if falls have been constant. Will be some mud but it's based on clay so it runs off rather than soaks in. Could be slippery and they could be not having carts. I will ring then right now to get an update on the course.

[Grunt]

Just spoke to the club, carts are still on the course but they did advise ringing in the morning to confirm.

Price also is $26 with Cart, I think that is almost worth it for Mac Grange. If I am carting I think I will be able to brave the weather. I will ring early tomorrow and post here of the result.

Yep, looks like another 1.5cm has fallen over today. It's pouring here, BoM says about 5.6cm today so far...

Ok, well if its game on I'll be leaving here around 8:30am, so if you blokes who live nearby call it off I'd appreciate if you could let me know before 8:30 Thanks, otherwise hopefully see you tomorrow for hackers delight!

[Peppas]

Oh yeah so we will be carting if we play?

[KristianJ]

Pep, if it does go ahead, I hope you'll be wearing your new Contours. Can't imagine your Powerbands would like the squelching

[Peppas]

Haven't worn them yet actually, don't want to get them all muddy on their first go

[Grunt]

Not looking good I have just rung the club and the course has flooded overnight in the areas I suspected it would, water flowing from the dam behind the 17th green and running as a river along the 18th & first fairways.

No Carts, pro actually was talking like he was about to close it fully.

I recommend no golf today, Peppas we shall reschedule this at a later date.

Sydney Hacker I have SMS'd the others guys but did not have your number.

[Peppas]

Ahh too bad. Guess I won't head up then. Thanks Grunt, another time then...

[Grunt]

Best not to Peppas, Did you get my text message?

[Peppas]

Yep your text came through but I hadn't checked it yet, been eating brekky in front of the tv. All good, we will find another time. I'll shoot you a PM next week, I've got a day off the week after...

[Grunt]

I have a few days off most week, the joys of a 4 on 5 off shift.

[Peppas]

Lucky you, I get a 9 day fortnight.

Great now that golf has postponed the missus has suggested things I could do around the house. Thanks

[Grunt]

I am doing some work on the web site I have recently taken ownership of. Plus some work on my Kayaks.

[Grunt]

It is back on! Grunt V Peppas @ The Grange on Tuesday

I have never had to give 11 shots in Matchplay before and the way I am playing I may need the 11 for myself.

[Peppas]

Yep I'm off 32 now. Should be fun, usually a pretty full field on Tuesdays there off the whites!

[Peppas]

Yep and I'll still be off 32 come Tuesday. I should probably be off more the way I've been putting at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Peppas]

Heard a rumour the greens are getting cored right now at KG... didn't even know it was coring season. We will see on Tuesday.

[Grunt]

Oh well, it is coming up to it , not really going to affect my game as lately I have been picking up well before putting.

[Peppas]

I wasn't too bothered either, I've been having a fair few 4 putts lately, I don't expect Tuesday to be any different

[Peppas]

It's on!

[Gomer]

Good luck guys hope it doesn't rain and the greens are still okay.

[Grunt]

Just arrived. All greens out of play. Temp greens in place. should be no 3 putts, as the ones I can see are no more than 10 feet in diameter.
