Just checked with the City Golf Club and they have the 15th of April set for this this year. Rang the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation which run it, and they don't have flyers and entry forms for it yet, but she said Peter should have us in his database and would shoot out info when it's available.
Based on previous years it should be an afternoon shotgun start. About $120/team with all proceeds going to the Toowoomba Base Hospital Oncology unit which took stellar care of Leon. From what I can remember an ozgolf team has won the gross every year thus far, so we better keep the tradition alive. And I'm sure g69 could use another jacket.....
I'll be contacting my mates who I normally enter this with (the change of date last year meant they missed out, but I got my hands on a quarter of the gross prize), so get yourselves organising and lets see just how big we can make it this year. Last year was looking good till the date change so all of ya's who unfortunately missed out stick your hands up this year!!
Last year I think g69 stayed up here at the golf clubs motel the friday night and suggested it might be an option for those interested to make a night of it, and also to try and play the comp the next day.
For those of you who don't know why we make a bit of a fuss over this, Leon was my co-founder of ozgolf, my best mate and if you want to read more do a search for his username 'Jaster'.

Reason: Added flyer for download!
I think we were talking last year about making a donation ourselves; Leons old work takes a collection and usually donates about a grand or so each year to this. I'm keen to try this ourselves. So what I'll do is from today all donations made to ozgolf will be donated to the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation at the golf day. I'll start another thread for this, maybe in the announcements and I'll keep a running total there to keep us updated, and maybe to spur us along.
I'm keen for this again. I'll book annual leave tomorrow so I don't miss out. I've got a wedding at the Gold Coast the day after, but I should be right for an up and back day.
Who wants to join me in winning the gross prize again?
