Hi all

After yesterdays great day at Mt Broughton with both NSW & ACT OzGolfers. I had an idea for the NSW OzGolf Cup. It has a great venue if we can hold it there. It has the chance to get the required numbers to come up from ACT for a game. I know those on the northern side of Sydney may not be keen to drive to the Southern Highlands for a game but ToungueBoy came from Lake Macquarie for yesterdays game.

How does either 13th or 20th March 2011 for it sound? Just plucking dates out that would see the best weather I am thinking winter down there would be even tougher than yesterday.

What do you all think?

I will add a poll for registering your interest.

Terrys, would Mt Broughton be ok with you using your members deal for more people? If not how much would we be up for?

only 3 1/2 hours for me and an easy drive!

I would be keen but any date between Feb-Apr pretty much rules me out due to pennant and a few other things going on.

Generally yes, but I'll be caddying for the pennant team on the Sundays around those dates.

It is just a matter of me clearing it with the staff. They were ok with 12 yesterday, and i've enquired previously about having up to 20 players which was ok. If it is at Mt B I think the latest it should be played is May, then we should wait for Septemebr onwards due to the cold winter months.

For the ability to host those sort of Numbers it certainly points to Mt Broughton as the venue as it also gives the ACT boys a chance too. Dates were only set up as a guide. We could do a game in March as a trial and then have the Cup in September, but no matter what date we pick there will be some one who wants to move it to another date, let the majority decide.

What about Kangaroo Valley ? That way people could stay in the cabins and make a night of it, they are all self contained so you could take your own booze and food.

I'm no good until probably October. Family holidays Jan. UFC & Golf weekend with the Bluescooter and Philthy in Feb, then away for three weekends for footy in March. Then footy starts again and I'm done until October...

Don't work it around me though - my fun police makes things difficult...

March is pennants for me and would need to swing it with the missus also.

The noble efforts of Virge and Titty reminded me of this thread for some reason...that, and there are a fair few more Sydney members now than there were back then.

Any interest, whether it be a Sunday game or something midweek?

Depending on where and when I would be keen. Unfortunately doing a lot of travelling at work at the moment so it is a bit hard to committ to too much.

If you would like a hand at organising anything though let me know and I will do what I can!

Oh yeah!

We should be able to finish the 2011 matchplay on the same weekend.

keen - preferrably a weekend but weekdays can be done with enough notice

Sunday is the best day for me.

Whos up?

Given we are likely to rely on social tee times Sunday would be our only real option wouldn't it? (if we decide on a weekend anyway).

Come play our club Port Kembla in Wollongong....lets decide if it is to be pre-xmas or post-xmas and then lets pick a few Sunday's. I'll go to the board for a group deal. There is accomodation next door for those that want to stay...stu

Copied from the "big" Champs thread:


What about Southern Highlands for a NSW Cup type thing? There is Mt Broughton, Bowral, Mossvale Kangaroo Valley etc. down that way. Not the best course but Kangaroo Valley has self contained cabins, bbq areas etc. that would keep the cost down. Half way to the ACT for those gents also.

(Plus I know the manager so might be able to get something cheaper)

I for one wouldn't mind making a weekend out of it...the Qld Champs format is great and the evening banter is almost as fun as the golf itself.

Might see if I can edit the poll and start it afresh.

EDIT: Okay, poll edited. Feel free to submit location ideas in the thread as has already been done.

AEC only lets you vote once on election day, I guess same rules apply here :)

Not sure if I can do a weekend thing before the end of the year, but I'm keen play golf with as many ozgolfers as I can....Meet Stu a couple of weeks ago and have had 2 rounds with him already. Will be playing with Titleist this weekend at Kogarah.

Then barbie and drinks at my house. I'll get the spa going, invite some girls over, have a hit on the golf simulator etc. 8)

Okay, after a PM or 2 and some thought, here's what I've come up with. It's pretty much a rip off of what the SEQld'ers do, but whatever...

- 3 or so one day events per year that can be held in various parts of the state (Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle/Hunter, Wollongong, Canberra, etc)...we could kick it off in a month or so's time, perhaps.
- A 2 or 3 day Champs style event (might need a bit more planning for a early 2013 playing time). SH's idea of Southern Highlands seems pretty decent.

Or we can just aim for a Champs style event.

Either and or sounds good KJ. Hopefully I can make it...

I cant do a w/end.
Between the Champs and the TCC w/ends , doubt my missus will let me go on another one.....:(

36 hole, one day event?

Sounds good in theory but won't leave much time for drinking.....

Alrighty, how does a Sunday in November sound to kick off the Cup? All it needs is a willing host and host track that would be able to accommodate a group of us early to mid morning (whether it be comp or social).

Weekend of 10/11 and Sunday 18th is not possible for me.

4th and 25th and I'll be there.

Bugger. B Grade pennant kicks off on 7/10, so that knocks out nearly every Sunday between then and Chrissy.

I'll have to sit out at least 1 week...might jag it!

Peppas
24th September 2012, 07:21 AM
The only date I could potentially do is the 25th, get back from the honeymoon on the 23rd... might annoy the missus though. Otherwise happy to miss out if you guys have better numbers on a different date. Good luck, hope it's awesome!
