For the Champs newbs, post up some stuff that you should bring for the trip that newcomers wouldn't know about.

* Sunscreen - If the sun gets out here it can be brutal.
* Umbrella - If you can, I have a few spares for those that can't. You never know, it is Victoria after all.
* Neat 3B - If you don't know what it is, get some and thank me later.

Discuss....

My first thing to pack will be a jumper and jacket. If it gets below 20* I freeze.

You and Haysey would make a great pair. Little bit of a cool Southerly at 10pm at night and he was freezing his nips off. Was a beautiful 15° at the time.

Don't worry about that bad boy. I got you covered. ;-)

But I hope differently for the next statement.

You forgot to mention Ouzo
Union scum will need lots of bandages, prosthetic limbs and body bags.

I will be taking heaps of photos this trip, so I am assured to catch Lefty in a moment of frustration...........

And if Lefty fails to get out of a bunker, protective eye wear is required for the ensuing sandstorm.

Panadol. Must remember panadol.

And if you are a light sleeper, earplugs. There are some impressive snorers on these trips!

Even the light snorers get heavy towards the end of the weekend too don't they mate!

Some Berocca might not be a silly idea either.

I cant understand why everyone whinged about the bunkers. I only screwed two bunker shots for the weekend. One out of a massive fried egg on 11 at StAB and a 140m greenside bunker shot from a boggie lie.on the 4th at CS.

I did lose 1 on my ga for that round but a 30 pt avg for the other 3 rounds moved me out more

I went 20, 32, 30, 28, 28 and went out .1 - and now I have one flag in the next 8.

And again, the Tier 1 sandbelt is a Flag Round with VGC being a played to 11.3.

You have an impressive spread in your 8 - low of 10.3, high of 20.5! :shock:

Form is fleeting, mediocrity is permanent. :D

I'd be pretty chuffed too if I managed a flag on the Victoria round. Nice one.

The first 2 rounds replaced flags, so I went out to 9.5, the next 2 dropped me back to 8.2.

That looks familiar.

20, 27, 46, 43, 26 for me.

Not surprisingly, Sat & Sun scores were flagged. Went from 13.7 to 11.4. I may be fighting a losing battle to get to single figures given that 50% of my rounds from the past 12 months are played to 20 or higher. Perhaps I'll have to move to the Peninsula.

LeftyHoges
13th February 2015, 07:34 AM
32, 27, 39, 32, 38 to go 2.7 to 1.4. 1 flag of played to 2.8 in the next 8 rounds.

Club champs start tomorrow. Hopefully can bring my St Andrews Beach / Latrobe form, not my Victoria / Cape Schanck form.
