Anyone from the Edmonton (or even Calgary) area Golf much?

Would anyone be interested in starting the next SSP meet (July 14th?) on a Golf Course - perhaps one of the Edmonton inner-city courses?

Maybe a SSP tournament?

[Coldrsx]

i think that date might work...count me in for now!

How about victoria or riverside.

[feepa]

As long as we play texas scramble or similar, cause I suck a lot at golf.

[Coldrsx]

^hit the range, but yes we could have 2 teams if we get 8 people:

TEAM STATIONLANDS


TEAM PEREGRINE POINT

[Kevin_foster]

Dibs on Team PP

[240glt]

What about team Panache ?

[SHOFEAR]

Sounds like a plan.

[feepa]

How about Team TNP?

[240glt]

^I heard they already have a golf team.




And they suck.

[Coldrsx]

we could have so many names if we continue down our joking road......


1st eight to sign up in, we can add a 3rd team if need be:


TEAM PP:

-Kevin
-
-
-

TEAM STATIONLANDS:

-Cold
-
-
-

[SHOFEAR]

flip a coin for me and put me where ever.

[Coldrsx]

TEAM PP:

-Kevin
-
-
-

TEAM STATIONLANDS:

-Cold
-SHOFEAR (need drinking buddy)
-
-

[SHOFEAR]

I get this feeling this will end up with me passed out on the third hole, Cold on the fifth and Ginty in Jail. Sounds awesome.

[Kevin_foster]

Once we have 8 People, let's choose a course and make a tee time. Somewhere around 4:00 would be best.. that means we will be putting out the 18th by 8:00pm... and off to the 'clubhouse'

[Coldrsx]

^yah that sounds good...

TEAM PP has to wear green hats and frigidaire boxes

TEAM STATIONLANDS needs to come 10 yrs late.

[feepa]

TEAM STATIONLANDS needs to come 10 yrs late.

^^ if they ever show up, you mean...

Maybe we should invite Ken Cantor?

[Kevin_foster]

ahaha

invite Ken, but send him to the wrong course :D - to simulate a real situation

[Coldrsx]

guys - ken is a great guy and a wonderful ambassador for this city. Although some corp policy may be plagued at this point, ken should not bear the brunt.

[Kevin_foster]

It's all with good intentions :)

[m0nkyman]

I've never golfed.

[Coldrsx]

hit the range a few times and if you can hit 150yds every few shots, you can play 18 no prob.

[Kevin_foster]

It's not like we would put LOTS of money on the line or anything :D

[SHOFEAR]

TEAM STATIONLANDS needs to come 10 yrs late.

errrr...I know what team CMD will be on.

[m0nkyman]

Guess I was kind of asking what kind of equipment one would need to join this walk with alcohol and clubs.

[Coldrsx]

^nothing other than clubs...rental or not.

and money for beer

[Kevin_foster]

And a few bucks for some games we can play - mostly guess your score.. everyone puts in $5-$10 and the person closest to their score wins the pot.

[Coldrsx]

^i say losing team buys drinks.

[feepa]

guys - ken is a great guy and a wonderful ambassador for this city. Although some corp policy may be plagued at this point, ken should not bear the brunt.

I've met Ken and can agree to this testament. I just thought he would enjoy being on team stationlands... and since murman isn't coming, he would be with good company I think.
Hes also a very interesting person to talk to, and like Cold says, a wonderful ambassador to this city.

[Kevin_foster]

Maybe Murman can make it out?

Oh wait, do Vancouverites Golf?? Or do they just play hackie sack and smoke those funny smelling cigarettes all day ?? :D

[Xelebes]

I do not know how to swing a golf club. I can barely putt. So no, I won't look forward to playing golf.

[m0nkyman]

I'm thinking we can form Team TNP – "We build like we golf"
:banana:

[Kevin_foster]

Where are the others, so far:


TEAM PP:

-Kevin
- m0nkeyman
-
-

TEAM STATIONLANDS:

-Cold
-SHOFEAR (need drinking buddy)
-
-

Don't worry you dont have to be a golfer, more of a g0lf3r

[Xelebes]

I don't have golf clubs and my wrist is sprained.

[Kevin_foster]

- rent some
- 1 month still to heal!

[m0nkyman]

I work Saturdays.... and I suspect that a 6:00pm tee time is later than you're thinking.

[Kevin_foster]

^ Yeah ... we wouldnt be off the course until 10.

Unless you just wanted to play 9 holes...

[murman]

Maybe Murman can make it out?

Oh wait, do Vancouverites Golf?? Or do they just play hackie sack and smoke those funny smelling cigarettes all day ?? :D

You forgot to mention those rainbow-coloured tea-cosies/hats that we rasta wanna-bees favour.

[m0nkyman]

You forgot to mention those rainbow-coloured tea-cosies/hats that we rasta wanna-bees favour.

You laugh, but I got issued one when I moved to the Island....

[240glt]

I keep mine stuffed under the car seat until I'm halfway across the Kootenay Lake ferry...

[sdimedru]

i'd be in for sure, gotta check the schedule @ work tomorrow though

[CMD UW]

Let's do this.....

[CanadianCentaur]

I'm in Vancouver for the first half of July.

[itom 987]

i might be able to make it, we'll see...

[Hardhatdan]

I don't do golf well.

[Coldrsx]

^meh

[Hardhatdan]

^meh
im not paying 45$ to walk around ya dig.

[Coldrsx]

^you need to come hit things...our boys weekend we are.

[Hardhatdan]

^you need to come hit things...our boys weekend we are.
Can I just drive the cart and be drunk instead?
Wait does that count as drinking and driving...what are the rules here please.

[Coldrsx]

^taxi driver you can be, you just have to hit things along the way.

[Hardhatdan]

^taxi driver you can be, you just have to hit things along the way.
Done.

[Kevin_foster]

Oh come now, 1 more person. There's got to be more...

[Kevin_foster]

Oh come now, 1 more person. There's got to be more...

[rapid_business]

hey..... how was I left out of this loop? I'm your man! Count me in.

... oh wait. The date sucks, I might be camping/fishing.... (Top of the World Prov. Park btw.... awesome!)

Count me in tentatively.

[rapid_business]

Oh... and let's golf Victoria. Easier then Riverside for all the the beginners out there, or golfers like me who are working like hell to help correct the god-forsaken slice that adds 15 strokes a game!:hell:

[itom 987]

I have to golf 18 holes on Friday the 13th. This is shaping up to be a busy golf season for me, wooo hoooo!

[Kevin_foster]

Awesome! We have 2 teams. Colds team can have HHD :D

[Coldrsx]

^done, i need someone like "him" on my team.

[Kevin_foster]

My team will have a bottle of GG for our amusement and/or Aid

[Coldrsx]

^My team will have a cooler of Lucky.

[rapid_business]

/\ yeah, you like to tramp it, don't you. MGD is the beer of hot weather golfing.

[widedetox]

I don't know, drinking a can of lucky on a Golf course, just fits together quite nice, don't ask why because i don't know, but it does

[SHOFEAR]

Team Stationlands would like to trade Coldrsx for a bucket of golf balls. They don't even have to be new.

[240glt]

I've got some from around 1991... would that work ?

[SHOFEAR]

I got a PM offering a bucket of old range balls. Can you beat that?

[240glt]

Sorry, too rich for my blood

[Kevin_foster]

I will give you a bag-of used range tees and a half working ball marker/felt pen.

That's my final offer.

Oh, I suppose I should make a tee time then.

July 14th - Whoever is in PM me. Final count to be tallied Sunday.

I will find out pricing before I book anything to make sure everyone is cool.

Victoria sound fine? Or would you like Highlands instead?

[Coldrsx]

IM IN.

i like the idea of victoria best. Perhaps after we hit up their patio or one up the hill.

[Kevin_foster]

^ their patio is good - but not enough eye candy for you single guys to stare at and I wouldn't want you all to be unhappy... so

I suggest Joey Tomatoes - you know... no I don't know.

wherever.

[m0nkyman]

Let me know where post-game drinks will be held. I'm assuming that you guys will keep drinking. It will be a Saturday after all.....

[newfangled]

Yeah. I'd be up for post-game drinks.

As for the rest of it, I have to agree with Mark Twain that "golf is a terrible way to ruin a good walk." :yuck:

[m0nkyman]

I'm of the firm belief that a golf course is a waste of a perfectly good rifle range.

[Coldrsx]

lets re confirm here folks.

team 1

-cold

team 2

[Kevin_foster]

Is everyone ok with pushing it ahead to the next weekend? It's my wife and I's 2 year anniv. on the 16th - and apparently she wants to go camping, or something.

What say you? That would be the 21st?

[Coldrsx]

champ car is here, im out.

[m0nkyman]

^ what he said. I wouldn't even show up for drinks after..

[Kevin_foster]

Your out for when? The 14th or the 21st? Or both...

[rapid_business]

21 I imagine. I am 30% for the 14th, out for sure for the 21st.
