Post Champs Round Poll

[sms316]

There is an option to have the post Champs round at Royal Queensland GC. The catch is that to get the group rate of $110 per person, we require 20 participants or more.

Currently there is about 15 or so listed for the Coolum game so we need to find a few extras to commit to this for it to get off the ground. To be fair to Coolum we need to decide one way or another quickly.

For the travellers, RQ is only 10 mins away from Brisbane airport.

Get voting (as if there isn't enough of that going on today anyway).

[PeteyD]

Awesome course and rare chance to play it guys.

[Jarro]

Where's the other options for the post-Champs round ?

Some of us were trying to get a game at Wantima or somewhere else locally ??

Vote for "I'm not playing".

[haysey]

Voted for RQ. Not often a chance like that comes along.

[Jarro]

Vote for "I'm not playing".

I already have

[Courty]

RQ for me. May never get the opportunity again.

[Tomson]

I'm in now that I'm coming. Not many chances to play there.

Is the voting component of this thread a little difficult to work out?

I have boa for shoe laces on my shoes, so yes the voting part is alittle difficult thank you very much. ;)

[AndyP]

Vote for "I'm not playing".
But he is playing on the Monday. He's just not paying $100 for the privilege.

I'll host you at Wally Park if you want, jarro.

He's not playing either of the two options given.

[Jarro]

Thanks anyway, but i think i might try for an option on my side of town first.

[henno]

Don't care, I'll play either.

[Bruce]

Opportunities should be taken.

[Choppa]

I wasn't going to play Coolum, but I will be in for an RQ round. May never get another chance.

[henno]

So if we get to twenty starters it's RQ, if it's less than twenty we play Coolum?

Seven to go.

If you are on an iPhone, drunk and hungover!

[sms316]

Correct. I have PM'd the 15 who said that they were keen for Coolum. We require at least an extra 5 for this to have legs. And fairly quickly too.

[AndyP]

If everyone puts $5 towards my green fee, I'm in.

[Ned]

If everyone puts $5 towards my green fee, I'm in.

Get goughy to back pay you!

[Choppa]

If everyone puts $5 towards my green fee, I'm in.

Can't you find $110 in that $100,000 payout?

[AndyP]

Get goughy to back pay you!
If every active member donates $5 to the forum, I'm in.

[AndyP]

Can't you find $110 in that $100,000 payout?Of course I can. I'm loaded. I'm not paying that for a round of golf though. I think the interstate/NQ visitors should go for it though.

[Iain]

I'll play at RQ.

[solarman]

I'll play at RQ.

Courty has the brightest fluro yellow shirt to match that bright gear you wear all the time. Should look like the wiggles you pair.

[timah!]

I've put in for the day off to play at RQ. Might not get another chance!

(and I voted!)

[Iain]

I've got a bright yellow as well. But maybe I can wear the orange?? :lol:

[timah!]

So are we on for RQ?

[henno]

16 votes tells me no.

[henno]

And how come Hyatt says only two votes when three people have voted?

[timah!]

I could ask a mate if he wanted to play...that'd get us to 17...surely we can find three more to make this happen..

[sms316]

And how come Hyatt says only two votes when three people have voted?

Because Ned is a dumb prick who voted while pissed.

Has to be odds-on to successfully defend the blue balls trophy.

fkn iPhone crapola! :smt045


:smt030

[shavey]

I think we might be hard pushed getting another three at the $100+ price tag.

Might have to resort a very early game at Hyatt unless sms can't get the minimum numbers down.

[timah!]

Mate is in, so that gives us 17. Perhaps move it out of champs thread into 1st tee thread to see if we can get a few more takers. Seems like too good an opportunity to let slip...

[henno]

I'm rather ambivalent. I've played RQ and haven't played Coolum. But RQ is the closest course to my house besides Wynnum. So it's win-win for henno!

[Yossarian]

RQ.

[timah!]

You coming over Yoss?

Possibly have another mate in, so that'd be 18...

No chance of getting the deal for under 20. Unless we have 22 minimum by the end of the day (allowing for a couple of withdrawals), lock in Coolum.

[kpac]

I didn't plan to play monday - but if you need the numbers i'll commit to the RQ round.

[timah!]

15+4+my two mates = 21?

[sms316]

Let me be very clear about this. If we do not have 20 people on the day, the rate becomes $200pp. I don't think it is right to drop the deal Shavey has got at Coolum without us being certain.

Clear as the Glad Wrap around that cat's head in your avatar.

[shavey]

When do we make the final call? I think my mate is only holding 12 spots for us at Hyatt. I obviously don't want to ask for more only to cancel a few days laters.

And we might have to reconsider the start times as well due to the flight times, in particular our southern guests who are out at 2:50pm(??)

And how do we ensure no backing out?

For the record, i'd be up for RQ, not the Hyatt though...

[AndyP]

And how do we ensure no backing out?Pre-pay.

[timah!]

Pre-pay.

I was thinking that on my drive home this arvo..

[Bruce]

Shavey - we are on a 17:50 flight. We should be fine.

[Courty]

Us FNQers are departing at 16:40pm. As long as we have time to drive back to comfortably, we'll be fine.

[haysey]

Didn't you say 2.30?

[Courty]

Didn't you say 2.30?

I couldn't remember if it was 4:40pm or 14:40. I just checked, it was 16:40 (4:40pm).

[haysey]

Sweet.

[Ferrins]

Soft spikes and long socks are minimum dress requirements at RQ.

[timah!]

You going to play Ferrins?

[Ferrins]

Not playing

[shavey]

Shavey - we are on a 17:50 flight. We should be fine.

Sorry mate, I know you've only told me like 5 times! :roll:

[PeteyD]

I am inclined to think the round should be at Coolum. The risk of having a couple pull out and then not being able to play is there.

[shavey]

I'm tending to agree PD...

[Bruce]

It's a shame - but I don't think we have the committed numbers to make RQ happen.

Coolum will be fine.

I concur. Lock it in Eddie.
