[Bruce]

Here's the draw.

Bruce...chief organiser
Flowergirl...carry over champ?
Chappy and Toolish...newbies!! Go the newbies.

If we are allowed to bring caddies that opens up the options...mrs will be more of a chance to let me play if she can caddy, spend some quality time!

If chappy can get us on to southern I would be keen for that

Happy to set up a 4 ball at Southern for a Sunday.

I have a week of golf coming up next week, in town and down on the peninsula. How about if I tentatively organise for Sunday the 26th of March (will have to be late morning or afternoon). I have a new baby due to arrive in 5 weeks, so if the little one decides to drop by early may have to re-schedule.

What do you think?

Let's pencil in the 26th for the moment then. I need to check the cricket fixture for finals but the semi is this week and the GF is usually over 2 weekends which might have it finishing by 19/3.

That, of course, depends on our progress through the finals.

[Flowergirl]

Pretty sure I'm ok. I have got some tickets to Commonwealth Games but have no idea if any on that date - or if the games are still on then!
Is Southern the course near Royal Melbourne?

[chappy1970]

Not sure where any of you guys or gals are located, Southern is in Keysborough on the corner of Sprinvale Rd and Cheltenham Rd. A few descent drives and a wedge from Keysborough golf club and a number of hefty blows to Woodlands.

Happy to organise for that day pending everyone's availability. You can see the new clubhouse (its pretty impressive, should be for $7 Million clams)

[Flowergirl]

Southern sounds fine to me. I'm in Rosebud.....so not too far at all.

[chappy1970]

Bruce, who are you puting the whites on for?
Haven't played cricket for a long time now, but used to bowl in the one's for Dingley in the VTCA when I played.

Flowergirl as chance would have it I'm actually playing Rosebud Country Club next tuesday. Have you played it, if so whats the goss about it.

Chappy....Rosebud Country Club is a very good course. 36 holes. Pretty flat - a challenge without being too hard. As long as your not too far off pretty forgiving with stray shots. Wide fairways, good bunkers and the greens play quite true. I'm not a member there ( my home course is Rosebud Public golf Course - Carrington Park) but still play there quite often. Hope you have a great day.

Enough of being nice............just looked up your golflink......you have to give me 10 shots. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring it on boys........bring it on.

[Toolish]

26th is out for me...already have 3 games on that day to choose between...going to offend someone!!

Actually...looking through it appears I will not have a free Sunday until April 23rd...Pennant ties me up before that.

Hope that is not too late!

Just realised I have to give Bruce 15....should be interesting!!

She's good at taking them isn't she. I seem to remember playing her off the stick when I had an AGU HCP of 26 and she was off 20...

Let me get a few more comp round under my belt Toolish. I should be able to narrow that gap.

[chappy1970]

Flowergirl always up for a challenge....so is a 4 ball on Sunday the 26th still a goer for FG, Bruce and another?

Chappy........John ( my husband) and I would love to play at Southern. As long as you realise that I am off 19 and Johnny boy is off 27+ and is a little intimidated by you great players ( i"m not intimidated by anyone or anything by the way - oops - the red wine is taking over again ...help.............
Mmmmmmmmmmm.I think this is a post I might have to edit tomorrow

Seriously........would love to meet up for a game Chappy
Regards
Reenie

[chappy1970]

No problems FG, you and your hubby are locked in.

Still a spot open for whoever wants it. Sunday the 26th of March.

FG - I am afraid, very afraid.

[Bruce]

Can you pencil me in until I confirm grand final dates/participation?

[chappy1970]

No problems Bruce,
please note further feedback for Southern round has been moved to 1ST tee.

Cheers

[Toolish]

Bruce,

We need to work out a date. I am free 23rd, 24th, 25th of April, 14th May and then 4th, 11th, 12th, 25th of June. Preference would be for the 14th May, 4th or 25th June.

Other than that I am tied up with Pennant and stuff.

Let me know if any of these suit.

[Bruce]

14 May is Mother's Day. I'm unlikely to pull that off. Anzac Day or thereabouts might be a goer though. Where's a good place we can get on out west? Gisbourne?

[Toolish]

Seen as chappy and flowergirl have not rematched and the first round was to be completed by friday...and I beat bruce...am I now the champion

"I'd like to thank...."

Yea - whatever I changed the rules - so there. Why - cos I can. Seriously - Chappy wasn't well and we couldn't get on his course due to members only. If you want to claim the title - go for it. Chappy and I will still play our rematch and hopefully all us Vics can get together.

[Toolish]

Final : Toolish vs Chappy
3rd Place Match : Bruce vs FlowerGirl

Lets get those 4, plus others...Ona, Falcon, Chiper, any other vics?...in so we can have at least 2 groups...venue and date to be decided.

Sundays work best for most, 10 weekends left to have champ by end of Sept as per original schedule, better look at getting organised soon!!

[chappy1970]

How about all the Vic Ozgolfers give an indication of their availability over the next 2 months on a Sunday for the completion of the Macthplay for 2006 and also a gathering so that I can get to know more of you.

I've only met Flowergirl and Bruce to this point (partially my fault, due to my limited availability), would like to get to know heaps more.

Venue options would be great, maybe Peninsula somewhere, Bellerine, any other suggestions?

The Vic stocks are steadily building, lets make our presence felt in this forum.

C'mon the Vics
