View Full Version : VIC Champs - Birdie donations

As most would already know, Champs attendees traditionally raise funds in various forms which go to Beyond Blue (and other charities). One of the formats that has been employed in the past (I think started by Virge) is performance-based donations, aka 'birdie money'. I'm committing to making a donation from every round of my Champs trip based on the following list, and I'd encourage others to do the same in the name of a great cause. If anyone else wants to get on board, add your name in here and denote if you want to participate in all 'fines' or just selected ones (for fear of bankruptcy). I'll keep a tally and collect the proceeds to go 'into the tin' at the end of the trip.
Birdies - $5 each
3 putts - $1 each
Wipes - $1 each
Hitlers - $1 each
Club throws - $10 each
Shanks - $25 each

Done and done.
I did actually mean to encourage suggestions for other 'fines'.

I’m in for all. Great value for money. I could (will) get a shank, hitler, 3 putt and wipe in the same hole and it’ll still cost me less than you flushers pay for a birdie!

I'm in, and I encourage all to join. With a smaller field and possibly slightly better-contained calcutta we're gonna need extra cash from somewhere to fill those charity coffers.

I changed the Shanks fine to $25 as a gee-up, but seeing as there's been no objection it looks like it'll stay. :mrgreen:

In that case I'll have to put a $50 cap per day, seeing as I'm averaging 2-3 per round.

Speaking of Donations, would there be any interest in taking part in a "Strategic Golf Challenge" across Sat/Sun?
The Basic Gist is this:
The entry fee is $15 (of which $5 goes in the tin) and the best cumulative Stableford score across a selection of holes takes the pot.
The holes are either short par 4's or the short par 3's, giving everybody the chance to win.
Lost Farm (Saturday)-
3rd, 253m par 4- index 15
4th, 112m par 3- index 11
14th, 251m par 4- index 12
18a, 113m par 3- index 20
The Dunes (Sunday)
4th, 254m par 4- index 17
7th, 98m par 3- index 12
12th, 238m par 4- index 14

Going to miss this with work on Friday night and on-call Saturday, but I'll get a game up here on Sunday.
Since I can potentially get a birdie on every hole - $90 has been deposited into Lefty's Vic Champs account.
The other $100 is for ACT in the Calcutta.
Happy golfing, happy drinking, happy fundraising and looking forward to 2020.
