GOLF TORNEY for AFF

Status
Not open for further replies.
How many optional mulligans? I only need enough mulligans to cover all my bad shots. :oops:

It looks like I will be off 14 by the time the tournament comes around and as it is an event that does not involve revision og handicap I may decide not to pull the anchor out on the back nine.

If the Gippsland trip happens in May I should be off 15 by the end of the trip. Very disappointing and depressing knowing the type of golf I am capable of playing. At some point in time I will have to give up golf as there is only so much punishment one can take waking up at sparrow's fart Saturday and Sunday mornings and coming home crying after another terrible performance....

Who would someone do it on a Friday afternoon? Some people have a long way to commute so Friday afternoon is not suitable....

I did originally say I would walk the course with people. Unfortunately I can't do that now as we are heading off to Cairns on the Sat evening or Sun morning.
 
It looks like another one of those events where people are full of talk in the planning stages and when the time comes to make a decision could not be bothered to turn up. :confused:

Not so much about not being bothered to turn up. I would have been there had I not been issued a "Notice to Vacate".
 
My name must have fallen off your list :eek: I've always been in and will remain.

Haven't played Jindalee for probably 20 years....
 
I am still a definite definite.But sorry John I had to get final clearance from she who must be obeyed.
See you Sunday week.I am sure I will give you a ton of laughs.
 
I think you will get more of a laugh out of me.

I have got the shanks badly and I don't know what to do to cure them. Playing last Saturday morning in my regular timeslot one of our regular playing partners was away and we had someone in the group who has not played with us before.

On the 14th I have been known to shank a few on to the roof of the house on the corner. This time the ball went left again, I am left handed, and my playing partners did not know exactly what happened. They asked if I had gone onto the roof of the house on the corner. I just lowered my head and said not quite. I went in to the house about 3 houses back from the corner, almost at a 90 degree angle. :( You can clearly see the dimples of the ball imprinted on the hosel of the 6 iron. :confused: Coincidentally I could hear a child saying something to his father in the back yard. I hope he did not get hit, scared, by the stray golf ball.

For the rest of the day when it was my turn to hit the others would make snide remarks "is it isafe to stand here?" and "hang on we are moving so that we are not standing to the left of you". On a couple of occasions I had to remind them that it was not possible to shank a driver as it does not have a hosel. They just laughed and said anything is possible with you. :p

Back in the clubhouse after the game the three of us were having a drink. The visitor in our group had to leave so did not hang around. One of my playing partners said the new guy in the group was talking to him after the incident on the 14th tee and remarked "Did you know that ball nearly hit me?" and everyone started laughing. :shock: Well let me tell you that the shanks are nothing to laugh about but what can you do other than laugh at yourself. :mrgreen:
 
Well john it is impossible for me to shank a wood as I find them impossible to use so i dont.The last time I used a wood was about 4 years ago at a charity golf day-playing with a 2 and a 3 handicap players.I was explaining how i could not get backspin on a golf ball.Took out my driver and hit the first and last good shot with it.carried the fairway bunker only to see the ball spin back into the bunker-they said they hadnt seen that before either.

No I waited for final approval before posting.Will be there with my webbed feet on as long as the Bruce highway south of Mackay is open-it should be.Though local flooding in Mackay this morning-the hospital bridge is underwater again.
 
Please add me to the list, but not as a player, only as a spectator.

If anyone wants a free freelance caddy, feel free to employ the services of yours truly; just don't expect any advice on which club to use. :)

Should be there - could use a good walk after weeks of travel, wining, dining and more booze.

Done. I don't need advice on which golf club to use just someone to fill in my divots, clean the clubs and golf balls and retrieve stray golf clubs from the water and jungle....
