Yup, it was all Scott's idea for the team shirts. Thank goodness he let it slipped that one day or us SW Ontarions would've never thought about it. Thanks Scott. You da man!

[racmbs]

......................... :hush:

It's all good....looking forward to this day and the weather looks great guys!

It's going to be nice to see just how much each member contributed to their team and what thought was put into making this a fun event, from both sides. Ted worked hard at putting this together and I haven't been this pumped to play an event in ages.... :)

[Dan_L]

I heard the temp is supposed to be not the greatest but heres hoping!

[westbeach]

There are a lot of behind the scenes guys.

Btw, what do you guys want for lunch? Hamburgers/fries/pop? The menu isn't elaborate but to make it easy for the course, we should have it set.

[fresh]

high of 17...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hey Ted, glad I could help contribute to the effort on the side of Team West....

But just in case, I'm going to bring a camera as I'm sure the uniforms are going to be VERY identical. :rofl:

[TehFlakes]

Can I get a pink one? hahahahahaahahahaha


No worries, Team East will look pimp In white pants:rofl: :D :)

high of 17...

Sounds good to me Ted.....

[Section ThirtyOne]

no beer during our rounds:D
Agreed, I tend not to imbibe while on the course.

I only say that because Team East is going to need something to drown their sorrows in while we parade around with the cup. :D

[westbeach]

Anybody in for taking pictures? I propose one camera per foursome? All the action will be captured. Pictures to be taken by partners only. thoughts?

I don't mind taking pics in our group, but don't have a high quality digi-cam.

If someone in our match has a good quality cam and wouldn't mind taking pics, that would be great.

We need Albert out man!

[TehFlakes]

I have a 6 megapixel camera, Not that great but My Group will have pictures... :D

[Samick]

NO SNAPS DURING THE SWING.

I dont care about pics, heck I'll even bring a camera......but if I see a camera going off, or being presented from the time I'm taking my stance, to the end of my follow through......I'm gonna pull a Steve Williams! :rofl:

If I hit a bad shot b/c of a camera going off...no problem.

If I sky my woods with a camera going off, you better run and hide!

[Dan_L]

Can your turn the shutter noise off? Maybe a few action shots on the range would work too.

[Carlton]

Awesome Flakes! Lets see if we can get some player pics without you getting your toes in the frame. LOL

[TehFlakes]

hey hey,

I have my camera with me at work, I'll practice taking pictures this evening:D

[westbeach]

Can your turn the shutter noise off? Maybe a few action shots on the range would work too.

Good thinking.

BTW guys, I know this is an exciting event for some of us. However, please keep in mind pace of play. We're not the only ones on the course that day.

[Samick]

I want some action shots of me swinging! but i'll respect you and your play partner wishes.

I dont mind posing for a few, thats not a prob.;) I'm sure we can get a couple snaps of you, see if I can catch that beaver pelt when it actually hits your ball!:rofl: j/k

Looking forward to some fun times.

[racmbs]

pace of play

It's Ryder Cup, Ted.....pace of play is always on my mind. :p :rofl:

[Samick]

Can your turn the shutter noise off? Maybe a few action shots on the range would work too.

Actually, mine doesnt make a noise.........its the thought of somebody there waiting in anticipation of me swinging with a camera ready that distracts me.

[TehFlakes]

no worries camera will be in the bag, until each tee-box, approach shot i have, I'll be taking pictures of the course mostly!.

[fresh]

Ted...i know you're the camera god on this forum...

There better be a pic of my fist pump on the clinching putt when i destroy you..HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

[Dan_L]

It was planned during this weekend as we all knew we wouldn't be watching it anyway. :rofl:

[Grass Roots Tour]

Love the camera idea. I have a digi SLR and always wanted pics of me golfing but I also prefer not to have swing shots.
I prefer the lining up a putt picture and what not anyways.

I'll wear black pants.

[fresh]

My match will be over (after winning of course) to have enough time to catch the end of the open...

TOO BAD GL isnt a long course..HAHAHAHA

[westbeach]

Long enough for you to hit 3 wood or hybrid in all day. ZING. Just kidding Fresh.

Extending the olive branch....lets have a good match.

[Section ThirtyOne]

TOO BAD GL isnt a long course..HAHAHAHA
TOO BAD I wasn't really hitting my driver with anything other than a ugly smothering hook. :(

I have a couple of things to try at the range tomorrow (going back to basics), but it could be ugly come Sunday! :( :( :(

[westbeach]

Freaking lefties....what's up with smothering hooks? Inside joke to Samick.

It's been a fun few months smack talking, and 'practice rounds' with you. Some of the best and worst golf I've ever played. I look forward to teeing it up against you on sunday in this event. Good luck man...

[racmbs]

TEAM WEST!!

What time are you guys all planning on showing up to the course at?

I'm picking up my dad's digital video camera and was thinking of taking some group shots before practice/play and some action shots while practicing if some wanted me to. I'd also be happy to grab shots of each group as they approach the first tee and send them off to whoever wants them.

The majority of us on Team East are meeting at 7am to grab some coffee and head up via car pool and are looking to arrive at the course for around 8:30am.

Play well today whoever is out playing, drive safe tomorrow for the rest and see ya'll at the course!

[akrus]

Are those headcovers in the background, Ted?

Oh why does the baptism have to be this weekend???? :(

Im not sure how long its going to take to get there but I imagine I'll be there sometime around 815-830 or so. Leaving at 730 from the Hammer.

[akrus]

Oh, they're shirts... The weave looks similar to the Bond Head headcover I have. I appreciate the gesture you made, Dan, but I think that the shirts should only be for those that play in the tourney. It's a special outing and it should keep that significance.

Keep in mind, I'll be part of the Ryder in 2007 as I'm making sure my sister and bro-in-law stay the hell away from each other 9 or so months prior to the tourney :rofl:

I have enough of the zero friction tees to last me a lifetime (I think I've gone through 2 this year, but have given away approximately 10. Not bad after 59 rounds - today will be round 60!

Thanks again, DL.

Being OG from the start, you should get one of them fine looking shirts as an honorary member. :D

As for tees, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the whack of them posted by Ted. You make mention of the Bond Head colors and how may Zero Friction's you have...all I can think of is when you and I dove into that Taylor Made bag at Bond Head and took some red tees......I have enough Bond Head tees to open up a shop now. :rofl:

Ok...back on topic.....:)

[Samick]

I know I know........:rolleyes: ....I should just dance with the girl that brought me...not searching for something special. No worries, dont need driver on that course anyway.:p

Scouting Report:

Did you guys get pelted with all that rain around 5pm out in your neck of the woods?

The GTA got hit hard....rained for about an hour and a bit and was pretty strong. Then on the ride home last night, it was pouring again for well over an hour and was again pretty strong.

I didnt get the rain until about 9 - 9:30 last night.....watched some spectacular lightning waaaaaayyyyyy north of the course on the last couple holes.

We did get hammered all night........and some more this morning. Trust me, I think its a blessing, if you ask me.

Awesome....thanks guys. Just trying to figure out ahead of time as to what pants to wear.....I kinda figured the course would be in need of some rain, so wearing stain resistant/waterproof pants might not be necessary.

Although depending on my performance after 18 tomorrow, stain resistant pants might be a good idea! :rofl:

[Grass Roots Tour]

Samick ... clear some space in your PM box, bro

Umm, I sure hope it warms up a bunch cause its snowmobile weather right now. I think I was actually born in Florida cause .... damn, its chilly when your in shorts and a dry fit shirt.

I would have thought my drive to the course would be one of the shorter ones with all the TO crew coming but alas... my drive is a good hour too with a stop at mom and dads to drop the youngins in the morning making it even longer.

Hopefully arriving at 8am for breaky wearing black pants, red BOSTON cap and a winter coat :eek: :rolleyes:
