Re: Census 2016.

We simply filled out the paper form.

I had a laugh when I read the vents & rants on the census FB page, regarding the outages. I couldn't resist posting the following reply...

"I filled in the paper form. At one stage I experienced an outage with my pen. Fortunately I shook it a few times, and it started working again. Have you tried that?"

Re: Daily Golf - Where you are playing and how you go

Looks like my daily handicap on Saturday will be 29.
Perhaps I should have maintained a higher handicap for championship.......lol

Club Champs is usually just stroke play in your grade, so your handicap does not come into it so much.

Just keep it out of the rubbish MT79, as best you can for the qualifying rounds.... then it may well be match play come the finals. Good luck!

Re: Daily Golf - Where you are playing and how you go

I made a C grade club champ many years ago. I was 30 years younger than my opponent. IF I got it in play off the tee, I was 150 metres longer than him. But I hit it in the crap too much. The old bugger got me in the end. The following year I qualified in B grade, got smashed in the 1/4 final... Learnt a lot since those days... Still to win a club champ... One day!

Re: Daily Golf - Where you are playing and how you go

First up today after a 8-10 week spell. Par Comp. Joking with the lads on the way down to Murray Bridge - if I finish 5 down or better.... I'm getting smashed...

First Tee hit it OB - scratch. Bogey second for half. Bogey putt missed on 3... scratch. Up & down par on 4 one down... then string 3 straight pars together - ALL WINS to to go 2 up. Chip in out of the bunker for bird... day looking better. Maker the turn 2 up. **** up 10 - then smash drive on 11 - only had 150 in on the par 5 - scratch the hole - WTF! - get it going again with another 3 pars. Round out the day 5 UP - leader in the clubhouse when I left.

Have drank many, many Corona's since that time.

Moral of the story - the less I play - the better I get.... so I am now retired from golf, selling my sticks..... and joining the ******* PGA tour!

Playing Lady Bay on Friday, Saturday then Fleurieu on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing how they go (it is however 12 blokes getting away for the weekend so golf isn't the main focus ;) ).
Sounds like a great weekend, perhaps not the ideal conditions for your test drive.... Good luck. Lady Bay, hope it's not blowing!

Heading over to Thailand next Friday for 2 weeks. Land in Koh Samui on the 18th and on the 20th looking at doing a day snorkelling tour to Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan. Anyone done it before. Mate of mine did it and he raved about it.
Fell into the swimming pool once, and called for a Chang... About as I close as I've gotten to snorkelling. Sorry.

Cracking game, probably best game of the season so far. Well done Cats. Thought the hawks had you in the second. While I clearly want my team to win, I will cop a loss like that.... Still alive in the season and we get to butter up against the dogs next week.

Re: AFL Statistics

If making you sub 190cm (even sub 185) gets you on that list then the best is easy. The bloke is the best footballer I have ever seen!

I am not so sure about that call.... I make not secret, I am no fan of the way he plays. Having said that, some of his play on Saturday night (viewed in the pub, 3 sheets to the wind..) was pretty damn good. The play where he went to ground, bounced up & out-marked 2 defenders, was memorable.

Does Darren Jarman come into calculations at all. Essentially a mid-fielder, but ended up as a one out forward. On his day, un-beatable. Consistency was always fuds problem. When he was good, he was phenominal.

Re: HFL Division 1 (Central)

Don't be fooled into joining the dots based on the standards others set.

Maybe they are a talented group of players (most of them local) who are happy to be paid a little less
to stay together and enjoy success. It does happen you know!

I agree with you to a point.... I am saying they were paying nothing, and nothing was the result they got. Now they are paying something and getting a good return.... Good luck to them.

Re: AFL Finals Week 2

Good topic. I have a couple.

1. Broke a blokes nose once with a don't argue.... Perhaps should have gone with a palm there! Didn't even get reported!

2. Played on an ex SANFL league player one day. He was late in his career coming back to country footy. I was probably 19. This was mid 80's so the game was different. Anyway he gave me one to the head in a pack. I stood up threw one a flushed him on the jaw. He didn't flinch. I missed the next few games with a broken bone in my hand. Now for the funny bit... I play golf with this bloke from time to time. We have a good laugh about it now. It's what sport is all about!

This is an assumption and we know what happens when that occurs.
Most people would have annual leave over Xmas (I wish I did) but I'm sure we could work out a day over that break where most aren't particularly busy.
should organise a weekend at a country golf club and make it a boys weekend on the piss as well.

No not really, the Hawks have certainly come back to the pack. Age is catching up with a couple of them. As REB noted during the week, we were cooked. Fair assessment really. Good luck to the Dogs, like to see them go on now. They would have spent some petrol tickets by the GF if they can get there.
