Ozgolf over the Years

[petethepilot]

Hi All,
I was going to slag off Lefty till I realised that this is my 5000th post.
A lot less than some of the guys but it has been 17 1/2 years as part of the Ozgolf community for me! Met a stack of great guys through the site. Sadly, some have passed away…all before their time. In particular, I am sad for the loss of PJ and Daves! Both cracking guys.

Played in several Ozgolf Champs when they were a thing (Pelican Waters). Was even lucky enough to win one! I have always enjoyed the conversations, the arguments…even the nut cases (whats his name from Shepperton?). I have bought and sold probably 300 different clubs in that time. A fair few of you are only one or two degrees of separation from me. I have always felt that deals done through Ozgolf were fair and reasonable. Something you won’t get very often on line.

Most of all, I have enjoyed belonging to a group that loved their golf. I hope I can met a lot more of you on the golf course before my 10000th post.

Regards,

Petethepilot (now a pensioner)!

Nice one Pete!!

[AndyP]

Nice one, Pete.

Slagging off Lefty might have been appropriate for a milestone post; maybe not for you, but the forum.

And who would have thought that through ozgolf.... nah never mind, what happens in the jungle stays in the jungle.

Pete, I have bought more putters off you than everyone else except Bitter and Jonti 😂

Never had the chance to play with you, but met you at the People's Royal

If you are ever in the Capital, I would happily host you

Left handed red head. You’re an easy target.

Just the world's punching bag, really.

[Ron Burgundy]

Pete is a gentleman. I, however, am not. And I fear I will never make it to 5000 posts on here as I continually pass up opportunities to elevate the discourse with quality posts like his, just to go straight to the sugar hit of slagging off Lefty.

The fact you have to ask is reason enough.

If about 20 different things lineup, hopefully you’ll get to experience me on a golf course in the not too distant future. What a treat that’ll be.

Ozgolf will always have a special place in my heart. In fact every club in my bag has come through the hands of another ozgolfer.
Around 2019 I completely retreated from social media and the internet, which has been a net positive for me, but I've clearly missed a lot. Including the passing of Daves. My partner's sticks are courtesy of him, and I literally just mowed my lawn with his lawn mower. An absolute gent, and it's really rattled me to find out about it.

I actually bought a Callaway Diablo 3W off the mighty Zigwah back in the day.

Good times.

[petethepilot]

Ahh Zigwah.
I wish someone had his final rant and could re-post it.
Absolute gold during which he managed to slag off about 30% of the forum members!
Memories!

No need to post some unhinged guy's dribble.

Does Zigwah have a real name?I'm from Shepp (now) and love the meltdown memories

At yet you have 45,000 posts.

Yes he does

[Flavzz]

Very fitting milestone post Pete. Always a pleasure dealing with you. Hopefully we can organise a hit in the future.

[AndyP]

So many moderation posts for very naughty boys.

[BrisVegas]

congrats on 5,0000 posts Pete. Like you, I've met some wonderful people through this forum.

[petethepilot]

Likewise Dion.
Hope you are well.

Don’t be such a Flog sock.

Great post Pete.

Keep using centre shafted putters, it saves me money.

If you are ever back in WA, reach out. The new back 9 at Kennedy Bay is actually very good. Hopefully they do something decent with the front now.
