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

[idgolfguy]

Have you asked him?

Yes -he's not sure at this stage.

He doesn't get much time off from work or his Mrs. Once a week is pretty much all he's allowed to played unless he can squeeze another round in after work.

[adlo]

Surely he can talk her around?

[Golfnut]

Lucky him.....

[simmsy]

GN - you in?

[adlo]

GN - you in?

Player list started here.

[Golfnut]

GN - you in?

Not for the lack of desperately wanting to mate but I'm very unlikely.

Could possibly swing the Friday Ryder Cup day only if that still works for you guys.

[Johnny Canuck]

You don't get first pick id. You get 2nd.

[idgolfguy]

You don't get first pick id. You get 2nd.

I realise that but I didn't think you'd pick him - it could be the Giant Fweaks versus the 'Giant-challenged'.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm not sure who I'll pick. If Ziggy comes, maybe him so that I can keep an eye on him at all times!

[adlo]

You can do that GN.

[idgolfguy]

GN, let me know how the swing is working out.

[Golfnut]

Will do ID but be lucky to touch a club this week....works flat out.

[idgolfguy]

Get yourself a weighted club or club sock and practise at home in the backyard to get those muscles retrained.

For the grip to feel natural you need to be swinging the club. Best not to actually hit a ball to start with.

Also buy Harvey Penick's Little Red Book. It's only about $20 and an easy read but you will refer to it over a lifetime.

[adlo]

We have had to make some necessary modifications to the weekend program

OP updated.

Times booked. 8am Saturday, 830am Sunday.

[Johnny Canuck]

Shitty. As long as we are not just in front of a comp at Capel. I've heard that their comps are track meets with the times around 3:30.

[adlo]

Capel comp off @ 1230.

[Johnny Canuck]

Golfnut should be on the back nine by then.

[adlo]

You mean the back 9 at Kennedy? Yeah, he should be through 18 by Sunday afternoon

Jeez! I'm glad you blokes are still talking about my speed of play behind my back

You can put a big fat loser line through my name for this one Adlo. I'm no chance.

You suck!

[Pieface]

I know...sucks to be me.

[adlo]

Amen to that.

[Yossarian]

I am going to struggle to make this.

[adlo]

Toughen up Princess.

Everyone fails uni at some point.

[Yossarian]

Been there, failed that. Not this time around. I will make my mind up by months end.
