Thought we would try to get in early this year so the Mexicans could book some cheap flights as they became available. Don't forget about our pre-champs round at Pacific Harbour on the 13th.

Course: Club Pelican (http://www.clubpelican.com.au) (the website features a great yardage book and hole flyovers)

Accommodation: Crowne Plaza (http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/cp/1/en/hotel/CUDPW?hotelCode=CUDPW) located right next to the course

Costs:

$55.00 per person for 18 holes with cart
$154.00 twin share B&B per night (PM should you still need to book accommodation)
Saturday night room hire so we can play some cards etc. $10.00 pp
Tee times:

Saturday from 11.00am (10th tee)
Sunday from 9:24am (a more reasonable time for all concerned)
For the accommodation, please call 07 54374621 and ask for Suzy Kingdom. Be sure to mention you are with the ozgolf group as well. Please ensure only one person makes the booking for each room, you will be unable to split accounts until check-out. No rooms remaining however if you still need to book, PM your details and I'll try to follow-up.

For those honest souls who didn't get around to seeing me on the night to deposit $10.00 for the room hire and pool table, here are my bank details. Currently sitting about $40.00 short and I've already paid so will get money in advance next year.

BSB: 014513
Acc: 525213551
Name: Steve Shave
Bank: ANZ Broadbeach

This course was formally known as Pelican Waters wasn't it?

Anyway its a nice track, every time I have played it, its has blown a gale...

Correct indeed. Was known as Club Pelican when it was managed by Troon Golf. Then bought out by Club Titanium and renamed. Club Titanium has since sold this but the name has remained.

Shavey, can we pay for our golf and our accom well in advance? The earlier I do it the more likely I make it. I did that at KV and it worked well. But most years that's a bad time of year for me, but If I've gotten a lot of the cost out of the way early then I'm set.

You were good value last year, Virge, but there was only so much swing talk I could handle late at night in the end.

We're off to a really good start with numbers so far. For those hesitating, take note of those who have turned up for their first year before. A great time to be had, and there are no regrets.

Goughy, I don't know about prepaying golf but will ask next week. The course is completely separate to the accommodation so a little different to KV.

I object! Where are the endless discussions, the polls, the banter, the mystique of choosing a champs venue? Now all where left with is are we playing off the black and is the draw random!

PeteyD
14th February 2009, 09:09 AM
The draw is never random. Certain personality clashes are avoided on Saturday. Eg: No one wants to play with 69er so he gets all the losers ;)

I thought having all the J's together worked great.

Sunday is determined by your scores.

Is there any issue with my wife & I playing together on both days?
She's legally blind, and I have to give her a hand lining up her shots.
Takes a bit of extra time, so it wouldn't hurt to stick us in the last group as well. Saves holding everyone up.

shavey
16th February 2009, 05:38 PM
All sorted Grunt. Currently allocated 12 tee times for each day. If we can get 48 actually turn up, I think it will be well and truly beyond our expectations.

Important update

The function rooms has a TV with the all the inhouse pay TV channels so hopefully something good will be on.

We can also hire in a pool table for $140.00 including delivery! That definately sounds like a plan!

Bruce
17th February 2009, 03:42 PM
I'd chuck in a few bucks to have the pool table available. Are there any who would object?

Perhaps it is $10 'cover charge' for the room on Saturday night. Covers pool, poker and that sort of thing.

Alright, silly question... But while I'm out playing golf and acting the fool, is there stuff to keep the missus occupied?

She is keen to come for the weekend, but the 5 hours of spare time while I masquerade as a golfer might need to be filled with stuff.

I suppose she can always go shopping, or sun-tan on the beach, or whatever it is those crazy females like to do.

I've added your name to the reserve list Matt. Grunt would be one of your options for driving up, but I guess he may be taking a while. Have a look at his road trip thread.

Hope you don't mind Shavey, but I edited your first post in the other thread to include the players and reserves list, just so that people can find it easy. I know there's an xl spreadsheet there, but thought I'd do that too.

What is the general M.O. for interstate players? ie what day to arrive and what day to depart?

Arrival Friday Morning
Departure Monday Afternoon/Evening

Has been the most common as the interstate players play the Friday and the Monday events as well. I know as I have dropped off interstate players at the airport after the Monday rounds a few times now.

SOB, I just told the wife a few days ago that I wouldn't be going as I am away on a golf weekend on Oct 15-18, and now WA champs has come up in November. It's tough with two kids under two to take off that many weekends.

Now Aldo and Rebjon look like they might be going. This pisses me off.

Part of the reason I decided not to go was a lack of cheap flights.

AndyP
9th September 2009, 12:34 PM
Putting the WA Champs one week before this didn't seem like the brightest thing to do.

I have a calendar reminder to check the happy hour rates on Virgin, not that I ever go on a holiday.

AndyP and henno for the PM, cheers for the heads up.

I agree the dates for the WA champ weekend seem a bit silly. Either way, I think I am going to be a scratching for sure this year.

I have every intention to make an appearance in 2010, and can hopefully get the (now bigger) WA OzGolf crew over there with me. I think Yoss, JC, idgolfguy and myself are all very keen, but have been very lazy with arrangements this year.
