Granny, what do you say to having the day as a 2 man ambrose event with your partner being drawn out of a hat, and your teams handicap being decided by the roll of 2 dice?


C'mon guys...we need more numbers if thsi is going to be truly a day to remember!

Nige,

The way things are going it'll be a 1 man ambrose event... However depending on the number of starters, an ambrose format would be the best and quickest way to go...

Easiest way to work out handicaps would be to start all of those without handicaps (numerical not physical or mental) off 27 and again depending on numbers divide the total accordingly i.e; 2 man = 1/8th, 3 man = 1/4 & 4 man = 1/2...

If Adam can get me on a Sydney jaunt, then I'm there, but at this stage it's highly unlikely!

2. You need to relax before uni exams. I once had a lecturer at Hawkesbury Ag called Dr Harbijan S. Kehal who used to say 'If you don't know it now, you will never know it'.
Another quote, spoken by a captain here in ADL whenever someone is studying for their check on the morning of the afore mentioned check, is....

"You can't fatten the pig on market day!"

Enjoy the golf there boys.. hope you get a good turnout! At least if you have it at the course near the airport, it's only a stones throw from the Rowers!

Challenge is indeed on Purcell - get to work!

I'll even buy you the steak so you can spill it on yourself if you get me over there! Actually, wouldn't want to waste a good steak, maybe I'll chip in on your fees! (pun intended)

Thumbs up

As the walrus once quipped "the time has come", can I get an indication (any at all) on numbers available for next Sunday.

I'm waiting to hear back from the respective golf clubs, with Kogarah being the preferred choice as to what available times they have.

If you want to look at the geeking opportunities afforded to you by some of the holes at Kogarah CLICK HERE, you are literally about a wedge from Pier C and no doubt if we get away early enough plenty of photo ops will be available.

We will then adjourn to the rowers for lunch, presentations and entertainment...

Looking forward to hearing from as many punters as possible!

Cheers,

Granny
