Oh no please not the bad beat at internet poker whinge.

If you played as many hands in a bricks and mortar establishment you would see as many bad beats.

Go and post on the 2+2 BB&V forum and see how much sympathy you get.

Topic: Golf Talk / Recommendations for a really good golt teacher/Pro

I have also heard good things about David Milnes from another Pro. He is at the Vines from what I heard.

I’ve previously used Milne as a coach but found after a few lessons I couldn’t relate to what he was attempting to teach me.

Actually never finished the block of lessons I had prepaid for.

But I ‘ve also had several friends use him with good results.

Good luck with the search.

MBAS sounds like a poster that was here under a different name a while back.

Being badly beaten by Mrdenn1s has obviously scared him deeply.

Topic: Rules of Golf / ball moves after backswing commences

QUOTE: Par Master @ Mar 7 2007, 05:32 AM

There is no penalty cause he continued to hit the ball. If he stopped his back swing it would have been a penalty of 1 shot.

Regards,Michael

I'm recyclying old material now but I wrote the following on 23/3/04 and the rules regarding hitting a moving ball haven't changed

Just because the ball moved after the player had commenced his back swing doesn't cancel the penalty, it just means that the player doesn't have to replace the ball in it's original spot.

There is no penalty under Rule 14-5 because 18-2b in an exception and the penalty is prescibed under that Rule.

Do we panic now, or when it's too late. Look out in the CBD for falling stockbrokers.

To put in into some perspective after this fall (currently 187 points) the market is now at the same level in was on the 20th February.

Western Force member here, hopefully a home win is on the cards sooner rather than later.

And Stookie, you need to desperately improve your Gold member seating arrangements or expect to see a lot fewer of them next year.

I agree with Ben have a look at Whirlpool.

I'm with Foxtel, Telstra, Internode and Three, my last Telstra bill was $19.95 which was purely the cost of the cheapest line rental I need for ADSL, all calls are made either by mobile or VOIP.

View from the new 3rd tee which has been moved back about 20-30m and a bit to the left. The fairway is that little green thing on the far horizon - not for the faint hearted.

Yan is that intended to be the members tee or is it a back tee box?

Where was the first green when Gary Player won the Australian Open?

Between the closest two bunkers you can see on Hux's photo but I believe the course was played the other way around so it would have been the 10th.

Topic: Rules of Golf / Does anyone know why 460cc was chosen as max head size on driver

QUOTE: vman @ Jan 10 2007, 09:53 PM

I think that was about the largest on the market at the time of making the limit. Some 500CC and 600CC drivers came out soon afterMick

I'm pretty sure Integra had their 600 or 650cc (So Long?) drivers out prior to the rule change.

Any update on this from those in the know? I haven't bought one yet but will be doing so in the next month of so. Any good deals around? Im still looking at a 42 inch plasma.

Jack.

I've got to agree with most here, for the mid $2ks you will be able to pick up one of those very nice Panasonic 42PX600A's (the one with the HD tuner) inclusive of five year warranty and delivery, in that price range I wouldn't be looking at much else.

Fixing it to your wall will be extra.

Topic: Sports Talk / Martyn Retires!

Just got back from an evening where Merv Hughes was one of the speakers, he categorically stated than Martyn was selected because he was the best number four in the country and that it was intended that he fill that position for the entire series particularly after his contribution in the preceding tours.

Of course this was in front of a WA audience.

If you ever get the opportunity to see Mark Nicholas speak grab it, this guy has some great stories and is very funny.

This is truly tragic news, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
