View Full Version : EOI - 2020 South-West Victoria Champs

27th February 2019, 01:51 PM
In an effort to get the past weekend out of my head as quickly as possible (and in a plan that was conceived in the wee, wee, weeeeeeeee hours of Saturday morning by blokes who were barely capable of planning how to open the next beer bottle), I give you the EOI for the 2020 Victorian Champs in South West Victoria. That's right Mountain, come to mother-****ing Mohammed!!!!

A very rough outline of plans have been made and if you're coming to my home area, you're coming to MY tour of the area. My home track, my current track, in my opinion the best track in the area and where I was once Club Champ, and the home of the current OWGR no. 17, Marc Leishman that I beat once waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day and have ridden into the ground. And another course. Don't know what yet.

So roughly we're looking at:
Thursday - Heywood Golf Club (https://www.facebook.com/HeywoodGolfClub/)
Friday & UCW - Port Fairy Golf Links (https://www.portfairygolf.com.au/)
Saturday - Portland Golf Club (http://www.portlandgolfclub.com.au/)
Sunday - Warrnambool Golf Club (http://www.wgcinc.com.au/)
Monday - ????

Costs will be super cheap, approx $50 at PF, $40 at Warrny, $30 at Portland, **** all at Heywood. Accomm will be cheap too. So biggest expense will be the hire car / minibus to get you boys (and girl(s)) here....

Travel time as below....
49297

I need to get a gauge pretty early on so I can see if this is worthwhile running, otherwise I'll need time to arrange Melbourne courses instead.

Has been discussed, but it's 2 and a half hours from home, so not sure blokes would be keen on that for a day trip and no other courses around there to make an overnight stay worthwhile.

Some things are just out of my control my friend, regardless of how god-like I am revered in this region. You'll just have to drink more beer instead. It has water in it.....

Portland:

LeftyHoges
27th February 2019, 04:32 PM
So theoretically speaking, going full rates (and we may get cheaper as a group of course):

Golf: $15 + $50 + $30 + $45 + $20(?) = $160
Accomm: $200
Prize money: $60

Golf and accomm for 5 days: $420

Hard to beat that....

Sometimes life gets in the way Benno

I was lucky that I got my leave pass sorted early. Had I left it much later I could have been a no show due to my wife's work commitments.

I've already planted the seed about the 2020 champs - hopefully the dates work out.

How much longer would the trip from the airport take via the great ocean road?

PeteyD
1st March 2019, 04:25 AM
Fair bit. The interesting stuff is not that far from Warrnambool though.

Port Fairy is 287 kilometers away from Melbourne CBD and will take approximately 3hr 30mins to drive along the inland route or 5 hrs 25 mins via the Great Ocean Road. The step by step directions below should take you there: Travel fromMelbourne city onto the Westgate Freeway.

And that will be without stopping to look at the pretty rocks.

As a side note, I walked over London Bridge in January 1990. Correlation does not eqaul causation.

OK, so I think we can pretty much confirm this will be happening...

Accomm here:
Portland Bay Lodge - $40 per night (http://www.portlandbaylodge.com.au/)

Golf here:
Thursday - Heywood Golf Club - $35 (https://www.facebook.com/HeywoodGolfClub/)
Friday & UCW - Port Fairy Golf Links - $65 (https://www.portfairygolf.com.au/)
Saturday - Portland Golf Club - $45 (http://www.portlandgolfclub.com.au/)
Sunday - Warrnambool Golf Club - $55 (http://www.wgcinc.com.au/)
Monday - Cobden Golf Club - $35 (http://www.cobdengolf.com.au/)

Grand total of $395 for golf and accomm. These rates may get a little cheaper as I speak to the clubs and find out group rates etc.

There have been some calls from people to play Port Fairy twice, but I think for anyone wanting to do that they can actually do it on the Sunday afternoon after Warrnambool GC as it's not a hard walk.

I'll create a new post shortly, but unless anyone has violent objections, I think we have our rota set.

Annual Week Of Golf Tournament
The much loved 'Week Of Golf' takes place at the end February each year and offers great prizes on each day over the event.
Whilst it is dubbed the 'Week of Golf' the tournament actually runs over 9 consecutive days and golfers travel from near and far to be a part of this time honoured tournament.

Whilst the prevailing wind at Port Fairy is usually west / south west, in the summer months it tends to blow in all directions, and you will most likely encounter an east or south easterly.

The course currently is in the best condition I have seen it. It will dry out over summer and should be nice and bouncy come Feb.
