OK, to avoid confusion in the other thread, while this discussion has some steam, lets get somewhere.

This was taken from the original thread, and slightly modified.

This is my suggested itinerary for 2010. Hire a big house in the South West for 2 nights, we all squeeze in there, beds are prizes for leaders.

Friday, March 26

Start the drive south.

Ryder Cup Day. 2 teams picked in the 2010 OzGolf draft by our captains SnuggieThePokerMan and iTree-golfguy.

27 holes while we are fresh.

TEE OFF 0800 at Kennedy Bay

Kennedy Bay, play 18 holes, custom pairs event as designed by JC.
Binningup, play 9 holes individual matchplay. Captains to seed matches.

Drive to accommodation for the night. Poker night/pizza etc.

Saturday, March 27

Individual comp begins.
I am going to suggest 2 days of 18 holes, to enable a bit more social time. It seemed like most people wanted to head home Sunday afternoon before it got late. If we have more time Saturday PM (after a slightly later tee off than this year- thankfully), the weekend might not go so fast.

Dunsborough Lakes, 18 holes stableford. BOOKED FOR 0800

Trip to the Bootleg Brewery? (they are open 12-6pm, so depends on what time we get there, might be good for beer + snacks, then onto somewhere else for dinner)

Sunday, March 28

Start drive back towards Perth.

Capel GC, 18 holes stableford. BOOKED FOR 0830

Late lunch at Joaquin's old mans. A BYO BBQ could work me thinks. We could grab some meat on the way.


Accommodation?

We have a house booked in Bunker Bay, overlooking the coast. Sleeps 10, and the rest can sleep on the floor, couches, roll outs etc.....

Dates?

March 26-28

Rough costings

All 3 days of golf would come in at the $110 mark for green fees. (Kennedy Bay @ guests rate $25, Binningup $10 (voucher), Capel $30 (voucher), DL $45)

Accommodation, budget $50 per punter for the 2 nights. House rental is $560 for the group plus some fees for cleaning etc. The more golfers, the cheaper it will be.

$1 skins all weekend, and an estimated $25 donation to the "prize pool" for novelties. Non Ozgolfers are eligible for novelties but not for overall prizes.

Thread for player list here

[adlo]

For money?

[Yossarian]

It would have to be better than being bent over a barrel.

[adlo]

I nominate leader of the WGA to decide.

[simmsy]

Had a look at some houses to rent tonight we gotta decide our budget as we can spend a bit of coin and get a place on the beach or go cheAper and be in town or on farm land. Seemed to range from $210 - $400 a night for places to do the job in the dunsborough area.

[adlo]

Spend more, it is still going to be peanuts between a heap of golfers.

[simmsy]

Ok, I think we need to get thumbs up from 10 definate starters to book a large house in the near future. So can all those that can confirm let ADLO know via pm.

[adlo]

Good call simmsy.

Do we have 10 definite starters? - moved to OP

Anything more than that is just going to make it more fun, and cheaper! If people need to decide closer to the date, that is totally fine. We are looking for some people to commit now to ensure this is a goer.

Definite starters:
1. Adlo
2. iTree
3. simmsy
4. Pieface
5. Yossarian
6. Three stripes

[idgolfguy]

Add me too.

[adlo]

Done. I hope to add all of this years starters, but I will wait for confirmation.

[Pieface]

I am definite provided I can get the Friday off work. I will apply for leave once we have a confirmation that we have the numbers and are proceeding.

[adlo]

OK good. If Friday fell through you can always play the weekend, therefore you are in for accommodation which is the main thing we are trying to ascertain. Cheers.

[Yossarian]

I am in.

[adlo]

Done and done.

[TourFit]

I am DEFINATE...Maxibon shirt, TourVan and all...except the 3Stripe tank!!

[Pieface]

What about the swimming trunks TF?

[TourFit]

Swimming trunks??....weren't they jocks

Banned apparently !!!

[adlo]

OK, with the inclusion of my brother, who shall be known as River Phoenix, we have 7 definite starters who will need accommodation. He will play the weekend for sure, maybe miss the Friday.

Can we get a few more definite starters for this thing so we know we can book accommodation?

My brother does not have a handicap. I will grab some scorecards off him when we play closer to the date and we can calculate a handicap.

Believe it or not, under the current rules, Golflink handicap you off three (3) nine hole scores!!

[Johnny Canuck]

i will need to know the date before i commit. just need to be sure that i don't have guests from canada here at the time.

[adlo]

26-28th March. Could always be a week earlier. I avoided April, fwend.

[Johnny Canuck]

should be fine. will wait to clear it with the powers that be.

she wasn't happy when i told her i was playing sunday. i got the "why can't you take a weekend off?" question.

[adlo]

And what did you say??

I don't have to play Sunday.

[Johnny Canuck]

i'll let you know. need to dip my foot in the pool tomorrow or saturday and test the water.

[adlo]

Cool.

Re: champs, don't tell the wife dates now, it is ages away. Just clear the dates with Canadian visitors. Wife can know about the actual date in a few months.

[simmsy]

Yeah JC no need to burn yourself up completly. Buy the cheese'n'kisses something nice (diamonds work well i have found) for chrissy and tell her about the trip after loading her up on new years eve.

[bergsey]

Ryder Cup Day. 2 teams picked in the 2010 OzGolf draft by our captains SnuggieThePokerMan and iTree-golfguy.

Are there recruiting zones? e.g. ID north/east of the river and JC south/west?
