2010 Sunshine Coast Easter Open Champs, Headland GC, April 3-4

[AndyP]

This will be my sixth consecutive year of being torn a new one by this event. Why o why do I do it?

These could be the last rounds we play before the new handicap system comes in (or the announcement of another delay), so it's the perfect opportunity to get that handicap out.

Here's the info:
36 holes over the Sat/Sun
Handicap cut-off of 18.4
$40 for the 2 days (pre-paid) --- BARGAIN!
Prizes for daily and total. 3 grades.
Entries (via entry form) close 19/3.

Anyway, who wants to join me? I've heard informal interest from Rusty and Blakey so far.

Maybe. We'll see if I can get permission.

[Jarro]

Stupidly popular thread this one

[AndyP]

It was better when it was jarro-free.

[Jarro]

Now i know you don't mean that fwend

[Rusty]

yup, i'm interested. (was either thinking about this or Woodford Open Cup which is around Easter as well - though found out it's on this weekend).

individually fax our entry forms to them?
6:45-7:15am preferred tee time?

[AndyP]

I'll go along with that, but I'll see who is joining us first for group requests, before putting my entry in.

[BrisVegas]

I'll run it by the boss, but am only a slim chance. We are camping at maroochy over easter. It would be me and a mate from brooky.

[PeteyD]

I am good to go with this. Should I fill in and fax the form now?

[AndyP]

If you want, just list my name and Rusty's in the appropriate section. Last year we asked for 7:50a and got 7:34a for both days and found that the day wasn't too slow compared to normal. I think we'll aim for that again.

[PeteyD]

What clubs are you and rusty with? I am redland bay obviously. Are you Wolston Park?

[AndyP]

I am at Robina Woods and I think Rusty is Riverlakes.

[PeteyD]

ask for 7:50 again?

[AndyP]

Are you driving up each morning? If so, 7:50a is a good balance between not getting up too early, and staying in the morning groups. Both Rusty and I will be based on the Coast for the weekend.

[PeteyD]

Not sure, we are trying to organise to stay with a friend up there. 7:50 suits me nicely.

[Rusty]

it's hard to know exactly from year to year, but much after 7:30/7:40 the field seems to slow down a bit. from memory one year with CobraSS and his bro, we had a really slow round.

so i take it i should still wait a day or two to see what the final numbers are before faxing my form.

[PeteyD]

I can go earlier, 7:30 might be a better option. They need to be in soon.

[AndyP]

They need to be in Friday. I'm okay for 7:30, but hope to get in the seeded groups for Sunday.

[PeteyD]

Is it only the gross comp that is seeded? So it is. Top 12 Championship Qulifiers.

[andylo]

Any more spots?

I like to join as well, no time preference.

[AndyP]

It depends on whether Dion is playing or not.

[AndyP]

Any more spots?

I like to join as well, no time preference.

Andy, fill out the form or ring the club and ask for the rest of us as partners and a 7:30 time preference.

[PeteyD]

I have faxed mine off.

[AndyP]

I just emailed my entry form, so I don't leave it to the last minute, then forget.
