Thanks. My brain couldn't accept missing one, so I've found a way to make it work, even though I miss club champs.

I can only do the one night, so how will that work for accommodation? I'll pay for two nights, if I really have to.

Update:

All 3 clubs are confirmed are raring to go.

All pricing for golf was given at reciprocal rates (so aside from myself, and Davemason who are members at one of the clubs), everyone is getting reciprocal rates. Remember the cost of golf includes prize fees etc.)

FFS! My Newcastle trip just got postponed for two weeks, so I could have done an extended Champs weekend after all. I'll just leave things how they are though.

I won't be playing this weekend, so it will be 6 weeks without playing by the time I walk onto the first tee at Bundy. Fore left! Maybe I should over to the Nudgee GC range in a lunch break.

How is everyone else travelling?

A bit more money has been recived. Welldone to those who have paid.

Public name and shame - still waiting on payments from:
Davemason
Lucasto23
Pete_RS
Shane788
Shazza_RS

And still chasing club / golflink details from:

Still able to take a few more bodies QLDer's. 3 more gives us 5 champs groups.

All those filthy rich NQ people, surely 3 of them could charter a plane down together....

You can do that, when you've won a Champs event.

Speaking of which, this has to be the most concentrated field of OZgolf champions, doesn't it? There's 8, I think.

Well I am out (of contention). I don't even know if I will be able to swing a club in any meaningful way. Down to my lowest handicap in over 2 years, and then break down with bad neck, back and shoulder pain, plus some serious tendonitis just to round it out. I tried to play with it this week and was absolute crap. Visiting a Physio to try an fix it, but not hopeful in the short term.

Might be taking you up on this option. We possibly have 2 spare beds in a villa, so might be able to move Pete and Shaz in there, and if AndyP can stay Saturday night with you, means we can cancel a villa.

SundayHack
25th May 2015, 10:50 AM
Yeah no worries. Like I said I have it booked from Thursday night till Monday. So if anyone is staying Sunday night they're welcome as well.

Also, as far as Handicaps and rounds are concerned:

Friday is a comp round - your handicap will be whatever the computer spits out.

Saturday is a comp round - your handicap will be whatever the computer spits out.

Sunday is not a comp round - your handicap will be calculated from the GA handicap you had on Saturday Morning, and be adjusted to a slope of 124 (Men and Women) based on playing off the whites for men and reds for women.

The tee time might need to be flexible. We can't get away as early as we would otherwise have liked and we might be cutting it a bit fine if we hit traffic/roadworks. If we're late there's no obligation on the others to wait.

I'll update on our way up.

Bag is packed, clothes have been ironed, I'm ready to go.

I'm going to make a slow, touristy road trip tomorrow, finishing somewhere for the night. I've never been north of Noosa so the final stopping place could be Tin Can Bay or Hervey Bay, if I even get that far.

I'll aim to arrive at Maryborough GC about 11.00am on Friday. See you then.

Bucket hats are the new black.

I will let Benno do the full scores and write up, but the bucket hat helped me record the best score of a choking 36 points today. I had a purple patch early in the round where the magic 3 hybrid gave me 3 short birdie chances. Only one bird but it meant I could limp home and still have a good score.

Lots and lots of laughs with playing partners AndyP, Nudgee and Lagerlover.

Thanks go to Benno_r for top class organising so far.

Epic twighlight putting comp completed, final 2 were Pete_rs and Peppas. Best of three up the hill from 70ft.

Peppas took the early lead on the first try lagging it up to 4ft. Pete_RS came back with a stunning hole out on the 2nd round, that if it hadn't rattled the flag would probably be half way to NZ right now.

The final effort saw Pete throw up an insipid effort that Peppas easily beat.

2-1 to the 2015 QLD putting champion, Peppas!

Well, another champs has been run and won.

After 8 holes, Pete_RS looked like running away with but cooled on the back 9. Jimandr and Daves started slow and never really recovered. Benno got lucky with a chip in on 10 after a shocking tee shot. Really dark horse came screaming through the pack in Lagerlover with a scorching front 9 of 25pts.

Big thanks to Maryborough GC, Bundaberg GC, and Coral Cove GC for being most accommodating, and thanks to everyone who came for making the trip north (even those who took the 100km detour). Great effort by Jim and Peps for making the journey north across the tweed.

I hope this might get a few more SE Qlder's interested for the 2016 champs.

Also a big thanks to my playing partners over the weekend: Daves, Nudgee, Davemason, ferrins, Pete_RS and Jimandr
