    Default Things you learned at the Vic champs

    * Foxgolf looks like a librarian and bombs it like an angry man
    * Hayesy is skinny
    * Kev doesn't like flies
    * Bruce could swear for Australia
    * Minigolf form is a good indicator of golf form
    * See above for why Jmac was never going to win
    * Nobody has done the Dome eight tee shots, win the champs double
    Still not playing enough GolfLink | Slightly less terrible stats brought to you by Golfshot - F: 57%, GIR: 23%, UD: 14%, P: 34. Wow, improvement! | Nickent brand ho or tightarse? You be the judge!

    Avatar photo with trophy? Well done.

    Congrats to AndyP on a well earned victory - two very good scores on unfamiliar courses and tough conditions on the Sunday.

    What did I learn

    - Drinking all night every night and getting up and doing park runs can either make you Champ or a contender for the 5 day NAGA. (Did I end up beating Bob for that?)
    - Andigold is a brilliant host.
    - We have celebrity lookalikes a plenty = Waddzy is Lee Westwood, Spanner is Ernie Els.
    - You can look a million bucks in opshop gear
    - Solarman has the patience of a saint to put up with the shit heaped on him by his mates.
    - The Vanilla Slice at Portsea Marto raved about is easily the best vanilla slice I have ever had.
    - Royal Melbourne has a ton more elevation change than I ever imagined.
    - The best par 4's in golf are under 300m, and a 135m par three is far more fun than 190m slog.
    - WAnkers are anything but. Thanks to Simmsy and Foxy for having a hit with me. I'm glad I missed out on Jmac though - the smell may have been awful.

    Thanks to my roomie Waddzy, who was a great roomie/car buddie for the 5 days. You were the best roomie I could have asked for. Enjoy the rest of your week in Melbourne.
    Thanks also to Super Mario - I have never laughed in a car as much as I did on the trip back from Woodlands. I'll happily play good cop to your bad cop in any auction any time.

    Finally, a massive thanks to Lefty. Even though a heap of jobs were delegated he still did the bulk of the work. Thanks Nick - you are a star.

    People take themselves a lot less seriously in real life.. Saturday night was the perfect and hilarious example of that.

    Lots of people surprised me ( I won't name names) and made the trip so much fun. So thanks to all. Not one person I wouldn't play golf with it have a beer with.

    I learnt Spanner is an absolute Legend and a pisser to drive around with.

    I learnt the depth of the water in Port Phillip Bay.

    I learnt our golf courses in Perth are sooooooo tight. Woodlands was the tightest course on the ration and that was sooo friggen wide for us.
    Why exactly do I need to answer to you?

    I learnt that if you nude up in the car park of the number 1 course in Australia, that you can still win the day.

    *Tea tree is evil shit that should die in a fire
    *oz golf is a collection of great blokes that we meet far too few times a year
    *RMW far exceeded my expectations. The uncivil war just made it heaps more fun as well.

    Greatest collection of par 3's that I have ever played.

    Loved 13?. Great little hole.

    Didnt rate portsea 10 but woodlands 4 and 7 were fantastic. (Maybe because I birdied them both)

    Par 3s at RM were a great collection of 4 very different ones. All great on their own. Pretty special all together

    OK

    Monsta - is the blackest white man I know with carpentry skills thrown in
    AndyP - Could be mistaken for a cross between Armish and a garden gnome
    Courty - by far the brightest and worst dressed at the same time
    Spud - likes to hug and touch bums (not that there is anything wrong with that)
    Peppas - should have ninja'd me at the restaurant, and he actually owned up to being from the 'gong
    Titty - should have a hair net
    Grumpy - the best dressed and can even get away with wearing it to restaurants and discos
    Andigold - great guy until I found out he was once in the Navy. Nuff said about that.
    PeteyD - the only guy who can get way with wearing g thongs that look like Ug Boots
    BenM - I'm still in awe as to how he can hold a club with 2 hands of 3 fingers in each.
    LarryLong - like a crouching tiger. You don't know he's around until he's right beside you.
    Kev - should have had a bath in Aerogard before each round.

    Many more too...don't worry I'll get to you late.
    Hey, let's pop some Viagras and issue tickets with raging, mega-huge boners.

    * #4 Dunes is probably the dumbest green complex I have ever seen
    * #4 Woodlands is one of the best short par 4s I have ever seen

    How many took my advice on the 4th at the Dunes and played it from over near (or on) the 7th fairway? If I hadn't ****ed up using Nudgee's range finder I would have birdied it for sure.

    Not me, pulled left and must have got a great downhill bounce because it ended up close. Wedge was just short, which was definitely a blessing, punch on into the bowl the pin was in. Fairly certain if I hit the wedge the correct length it was over and goneski.
