TRADIE GOLF 2011!!!

Fun times were had on that Spring afternoon, Sept 23, as a select group of Geelongs tilers holstered their trowels for the afternoon and tried their golf swing to perhaps pick up a few prizes - but mainly a few laughs.  

CLOSEST TO THE NICK COMP

1st hole of the day, there he is, Nick - our Mapei mannequin - dead center of the fairway.  Nick escaped unharmed.

BANANAS ON FOUR WHEELS

Turns out Gebsy & Bilbo make quite good Photographers and Officiators (and push-er-over-er-of-golf-carts), zooming around all day on four wheels terrorising the wild-life & ensuring everybody was 'having fun'...

SPONSORS

Big ups to our main sponsor!  The boys from CMI (REDBACK LASERS) were generous enough to put up a Cross1 laser for Best Golfer Of the Day, and a couple of the lads headed down and joined us to hit a few balls around (and throw back a few beers...).  Big thanks!  Of course, the ever dependable Mapei provided 2nd and 3rd prizes, as well as decking us all out with caps & drink bottles (& other goodies) via the 'happy fun time' show-bag. 

INJURIES

A couple of scrapes but no golf balls to the head - quite surprising considering how many people think they actually are Happy Gilmore...

WINNERS....!

All attempts to keep score cards true & correct were made, checking and cross checking - but who really knows...  No, we all had a bit of fun and here are the days outcomes:

• Best of the Day - Gav
  
• Runner Up - Calvin
  
• 2nd Runner Up - Tim
  
• Closest to the Nick - Luke
  
• Closest to the Pin - Mick
  
• I Said I Couldn't Play - Adrian
  

FUN TIMES ALL AROUND

Thanks to Michael and the team at The Queens Park Golf Club for having us and for cooking up tasty post-golf snacks.  If the'll let us back and we didn't tear up the course too much perhaps we might think about getting another day in before Summers out.  And perhaps this time we'll actually start on time - turns out our tilers are a lot more prompt than we give them credit for!

Thanks to everybody there on the day!  Here is a smattering of pics to remind us of the adventures...

There he is - NICK!

What's wrong with this guy

Gebsy, Bilbo & Nick - Nick had to see the rest of the course too

hmmm... put down the phone Jez!

Busted!

There are people following me...

Easy does it....

"It's all in the hips..."

"You guys stay here, I'll go make sure the beer taps are working..."

Medic!!!!

Dude, put down that phone!

"I swear, I was just trying to find my golf ball..."

This is what you get for trying to mess with the Golf Buggy boys

Ok, here you go dude, get out of this one bunker boy...

Not Bad!!! But you're still going to lose your clubs...

Ah, the golf pro pose... 

Closest to the pin - yeah!

And later on back at the 19th hole...

Presentations - Tim gave an excellent speech....

Tasty snacks!

Seriously, there is something wrong with this guy...

Many thanks to Nick, for without whom the afternoon would have been just another round of golf...
