STROKE

With the champion being the nett winner thats why we have handicaps.....no gross winner

[terryand]

I have to confirm tomorrow, but we may have a slight problem with the Champs. It appears the helpful lass doing the group bookings has not checked the fixture book for the 31st Oct.

We are OK for the morning 18, teeing off on the West Course from 7:15am.

However the daily comp on the River course is a rare shotgun start at 9:00. This will make it very interesting with our 12:45 booking. The bloke I spoke to today doubts if we would get our first arvo group off until 1:15. It's not a total writeoff as we still have light until at least 7:00pm so providing we get our plast group off by 2:30 we still should be fine. It just means its going to be a long day.
It might just mean that the arvo comp might have to be a stab event to trim the time a little.

Maybe we can tee off bit later in the morning.

So the gap is not so big.

G69,

Having booked my flight and already looking forward to the event, I got a sickly feeling as I started to read your post. Then I breathed a sigh of relief that it will still be on the 31st of Oct.

I don't mind a bit of a break in between the morning and afternoon rounds. I'm sure 20+ keen golfers can find something to amuse ourselves. Swap shop perhaps? (bring all your unsold clubs, Jarro ... ) Trying out each others equipment at the practice range. Or just having a lazy lunch.

If we tee off immediately after the shotgun group, it should be pretty smooth sailing as there will be no one in front of us. Since us Ozgolfers are not slow players I think we can still fit in the stroke round in the arvo.

BTW, are we planning on having dinner and presentation in the club house afterwards?

BTW, my vote goes for Trung's mixed format as well. Net winner gets the "champ" title (just to keep everyone interested), whilst the gross winner gets the bragging rights as the best player on Ozgolf.

[Trung]

very good Jaster

[Speirsy11]

Guys, I've been away......Tell me more about this "World Championships"

Where? When? How much? I'm fully in if it fits the exam schedule......

Also, I voted for gross winner being named champ......we can get the low NET guy something too, but the lowest is lowest and he should get the title.....Not that I'd be in the running or anything

So, who's got the info for me?

We should be playing whatever format the comp is that CTH is running (if there is one). If its stableford its not appropriate that we play stroke, particularily of someone loses a ball and the subsequent delay.

Its not as if adding up all the scores at the end of the round is going to be complicated, theres only going to be 20 of us! I nominate G69 as the game day accountant cos he is getting good at computing larger numbers these days.

[Speirsy11]

Guess I could have looked at the forum a little closer before asking stupid questions

I'm in if I don't have any exams the next week......it looks promising right now, but I'll know more in 2 weeks.....Is there a spot for an import like me if I can make it? I might have to fly in Sat and fly out Sunday.....

Might need a spot to crash too :P anyone have a guest house? Prefrably one with several provocatively attired maids ......

Still voting for best gross score as winner (either stroke or stab.)

Speirsy, post in the other thread with your name and handicap. We would love to have you along mate At this stage no-one has done anything with accomodation to my knowledge. If you like you can stay with me and the other Toowoomba guys? We will be probably looking at sharing a room on Sat night and maybe Sunday night!!! Should only be around $50 each per night this way. Just excect good aussie country hospitality (i.e. Flatualence, Snoring, Swearing and anything else that is offensive!!)

[jaster]

All sounds great G69...refresh my memory though...what time is the hitoff for the first 18?

[BrisVegas]

Thanks again for chasing this up for all of us golfer69.
It's a pain in the bum to organise 24 fussy golfers and an absent-minded tee-sheet lass. Keep up the good work mate! We all appreciate it.

[Trung]

Just read your new slogan on top of your Avartar.. Mate, you need to get away from QLD fast

[AndyP]

Why has the organisation of this event moved to this thread? I thought this thread was for discussing the format.

P.S. I like Trung's idea.

[Jarro]

just go with the flow AndyP

[Flowergirl]

I don't care what the format is or anything else cos I can't make it and I'm sulking........So there!!!!!

thats a shame, with all this talk about getting fit, there is a rumour about a 6am nuddy run.

[AndyP]
