[musky_hunter]

So who's going? I've never been to a tournament like this before.

What is the standard procedure? teams?

All you have to do is register as a single if you don't have a group and they will pair you with someone.
Click on the header and fill out the form and it's pretty easy from there.
You will have a great day and not much to do other than pay, show up and play.

[Pingnut]

I'm going for sure. Lots of fun.
Hopefully I can make out like a bandit with the prizes again this year:rolleyes:

[nearace]

myself and the son in-law will be there:D

[dks_34]

I'll be there...my team dumped me but I'll be there!

[The Troll]

What did you do? :p

[dks_34]

What did you do? :p

I wish I knew....I don't think that Akrus likes me (LOL he's in the USA at the moment so he won't read this for a few days!) :p

[The Troll]

I don't think that Akrus likes me

I don't think Albert likes anyone, hence the no pm rule. :D

[dks_34]

He'll like you if you bring him a Guinness (man now he's going to kill me! :hyper:)

[akrus]

tsk, tsk, tsk... I may be in the states, but I'm still watching and taking notes...

Besides, I haven't officially declined attending - I didn't think you needed to know until I came back to the great white north...

I have to check the schedule at Whistle Bear to see if this tourney conflicts with a club event (which I think it might)

Wait 'til I get back home, H - yer in trouble is likely an understatement - but you're right, a Guinness is likely to calm me somewhat

[prohacker]

I'm still deciding to book or not as i'll be in Hawaii at that time, my stay is open and duration will depend on how friendly my host is :p

[IGolf247]

Well since the early bird has been extended, and was thinking of joining in, but unlike the majority of you guys, Im not the greatest of players. Whats the tournyment like? Any room for those high handicappers?

Ask yourself two questions.
1. Do you like to golf and have fun?
2. Would you like to see who these people are with the funny screen names?

If the answer is yes to either question, sign up. This event is set up for everyone. Good people, good food, good times.

Yes to both, so maybe I will have to sign up. Are non-TGN members allowed as I have a buddy who would probably like to go out and play a round.

On a side note, Mule are their any places to stay out in Belleville? Me and some friends are going to the Hip concert on Saturday, and are looking for a place to stay Fri night.

I'm going with 3 non-TGN'ers, so by all means, they are allowed. There's plenty of hotels in Belleville. Here's a link that has some of the locations and numbers. I've stayed at the Ramada and the Fairfield. Fairfield was a lot nicer and closer to restaurants / bars / highway, etc.

The Ramada Inn is right across the road from the venue. Or you can try this link.

The Hip still make records? :D

I saw them at Markham Fair some 10 years ago....my friends said it was a wicked concert, I only remember riding in my friends truck on the way home at 2am. :rofl:

[Big Shooter]

yah, they're not as "hip" as the used to be i.e., pre-bald Gord Downie! ;)

[Queen of the Beach]

There are still some foursome spots left for the Tournament... but we do expect to sell out this year. Invite your friends and family and colleagues! TGN members and non-TGN members are both welcome to participate.

We have some exciting new events this year and new sponsors that we hope will give our annual registrants and loyal TGN members something to talk about!!! Thank you everyone for their continued support and we appreciate your enthusiasm!

Also, please email me if you are interested in ordering a TGN golf shirt, we are still taking orders.

Players of all levels are welcomed; TGN members & non-members alike.

If you can find a 4some, you can register and we'll find you a team.

[Anthony]

I may actually show my face as that Sunday works for me..... I am assured of a 6 hour round???? That's a joke in case someone is ready to jump down my throat....

I take it that it is a Shotgun start? Probably need to be back in Toronto by 7:30.... Can arrive early, but unfortunately can not stay late.

Or should I continue to hide behind my keyboard????;)

now I'm definitely not attending. wouldn't want to be left on the course by myself :P

[Timmeh]

I am hoping aswell to be able to register for this just need to get enough money to pay for it.

I played Bondhead North for the first time on Monday and thought it was a great course. I think it opened last year?? If it did, it sure doesn't look like it - very mature conditions already. They were cutting the greens that morning so I had a fun day (I love freshly mowed greens!) and sank a few long putts. Played pretty short from the blue tees - but I think some of the extreme uphill par fours made up some distance. For those who haven't played it I think you're in for a treat.

[lelyflamingo]

Very nice course, except they have on the front nine one of the DUMBEST HOLES EVER. That short uphill par 4, around number 4 or so.

[Pingnut]

I didn't notice the dumb hole... number 2 maybe?? I was on the top self about 30 yards from the green and made birdie - so it seemed like an awesome hole to me :)

I am praying that Anthony's group wins this thing. I wonder how many people would cry foul!

[jayda]

confirmed! :D :rofl:

I don't get it? It is a risk reward for a long hitter and a perfectly functional hole for the average golfer.....

Do you all look at holes through the eyes of a PGA Tour Player????

[beeker]

I can't wait for next week's event - the long range forecast looks awesome too.

So, with this being my first time on the North course at BH, what kind of advice can people give? Having seen it from the south course it looks like it has some extreme uphills / downhills.

[goshawk]

I won't be playing, but I hope to get up there either before or after the event just to show my ugly mug. I've made some pretty good friends here and just want to say hi again.

[golfnut2006]

Has anyone received confirmation email, tee times, groupings, etc for this tournament?

I haven't received a single email about it and no replies to my emails sent to the webmaster as well.

Any one knows what's going on here? It's less than a week away now.

[Pingnut]

Date:Sunday, July 13th, 2008Location:The Club at Bond Head, North CourseTime:1:30 PM Shotgun StartFormat:4-person Best Ball

I think you'll see your groupings once at the course when you register. Last year there was a welcome BBQ and the practice range is included - so be there a little early. Everyone has the same tee time :D

[imAnewbie]

I'm still not sure :( I have tried to get my foursome but no one is sure :( If I go on as a single, I might need a ride going there :( TO GO or NOT TO GO that is the question at hand :rofl:

[golfnut2006]

I know the tourney is on... What I am wondering is, is my team playing? I have received no confirmation of my team's registration. Feel kinda silly if I have to call Bond Head to ask about this.

Florence e-mail me and confirmed my registration, maybe just because I was talking to her about one of our players she hadn't recieved any $$$ as of yet.? Tom.

[crazy_legs64]

I received a reply to let me know to expect an email this week with details as to who I'm playing with. I entered as a single.

[golfnut2006]

Hmm, inconsistent service I must say.

This kinda sucks because I can't tell my teammates whether we'll be playing or not. I registered during early bird period and until today I haven't received anything. What happened this year that's different from the previous 2?

Perhaps I should just shut up and wait for a couple more days before I am pissing off the organizers. Although back in my mind, I think someone owe an apology... just like my recent incident with Bell. OK I'll shut up now.

[Queen of the Beach]

Golfnut2006 I believe you had registered with a different email and hence the confusion as to where emails were sent. I do apologize and hope to continue to improve our service (at least beat Bell's service). And I look forward to meeting you on Sunday!


Just a reminder to all to arrive early on Sunday. There will be activities and lunch served prior to the shot gun start at 1:30pm.

We will also be selling Mens and Ladies TGN Golf shirts on Tournament Day at Reduced prices. Cash payment accepted only.

There will also be Door prizes and Raffle prizes. Including a Raffle Draw for a ONE year full membership to Bond Head.

Finally, Bond Head will be assigning the Tee start boxes. Please contact me if you have any other questions.

MannyR and I are going to arrive early, want to make the most out of the day.

Weather looks like it's going to be on our side, lets hope the golfing has the same intention.:)
