Just putting this out there to gauge some interest
Thinking of organising a Champs style weekend in the Riverland at some stage in 2012
Seeing the kind of interest we are getting for local games I am unsure if we would get the numbers together for a proper champs style event, but either way I think with a bit of notice and planning if we
can get say 12+ to the event I'm sure it would be a bit of fun.
Dates - Open to discussion, but most likely won't be summer due to the heat they can get up there. Maybe try and tie it in with a long weekend?
Adelaide Cup day is the 12th of March, and Queens Birthday is the 11th of June
Venue - At this stage I have been in contact with a mate of mine, Jamie Clutterham, who is the Pro at Renmark
Renmark has excellent resort style accommodation, as well as cheap cabins, it has a decent course and is within a short'ish drive to other courses in the region
Format - Open to suggestions. I was thinking 2 rounds over the 2 days, either both at Renmark, or another at Berri. It would have to be a Stableford comp for the overall, with maybe a gross score prize as well
In terms of prizes etc, Jamie has said he can offer some prizes from the Pro Shop, and I'm sure everyone wouldn't have any issue putting a few $ towards a overall prize
Costs - TBA, depending on what we decide on. At the moment until I get numbers, I can't really bargain with the Resort for some good rates, but they have indicated they will be interested
Discuss.......
