Less than four weeks out now, do I have to start talking to the bank about extending the loan?
What are we playing for?
Weets and Upnin against me.
4ball stroke?
Or Matchplay?

What’s on the line here?
I keen to really talk up a big game to get the punters excited!!

Usual match is best ball stableford and the losers pop the money on the bar for the pleasure of the victors – they at least get to recoup some of their loss in the drinks. Did I mention I’m off the wagon from the 7th?

Played in the Thursday game at The Australian years ago with the Purple Gang, one of that fraternity was one Kerry Francis Bullmore Packer. Given it was always a draw for partners, I enquired as to what Kerry’s standard bet might be (also fearful of not being able to pay the freight). Turns out it was a simple $10 Nassau – oh, and you can add as many 0s as you are comfortable with…..didn’t end up drawing him, which is just as well, he may have wanted to check my bonafides for the $10mx$10mx$10m I had in mind.

As for the match, I might just bring a smokey along and play you two bods.

Madam, BumpunRun

By the way, are you fellas figuring on showering and changing apres golf, and then partaking in the consumption in a fair amount of strong liquor?

Or, will it be the usual bottle of Coke and off?

Just curious……

Just like Kerry, I don’t get out of bed for anything less than a $10 bet

so I need to check the flags before I tee off on each hole too… jeepers, this is enough to send a man to drink

You’ve already asked about that……

I was just reiterating after bringing it across to the correct thread…

It also takes me two times to remember things

I was referring to the second part of your sentence……

Mr Upnin, is the course playing all 1-18 at the moment?

Why yes……..yes why?

List of things to do on a day off.
1. Sort out what to wear in 3 week’s time.

I have option 1 and option 2a and option 2b.
Come at me with your thoughts

I’m conscious of the standard of dress code and rightful expectations of being well attired, so I think I have already made my decision. I’m still keen for input from a couple of you whose opinion I respect.

Ready to!
