    The general directive for prize donations is:
    Would I be happy if I received this as a prize?

    Don't use it as a way of dumping stuff you can't get rid of. No one else really wants those KMart balls you won't ever use.
    There have been special awards of 'junk' like Ho of the Champs - but that fitted the spirit of the award.

    Be nice to your fellow Ozgolfers.

    Yes, as Bruce said. This comes up every year. Like many, I prefer just to pay an extra $10 a round and put that towards a cash prize for the winner. If he/she chooses to shout the bar with then winnings, then everyone wins!

    I agree with both Bruce & Dion on this one. It's one giant pain in the butt (my job last year) trying to organise donated prizes to suit.
    If everyone just put in an extra $10 problem solved and no stuffing around.

    I thought that was the idea of the $20 deposit, $10 for prizes and $10 for the venue hire charge?

    NAGA is happy to give his undeserved trophy back to a worthy recipient...this time.
    Hey, let's pop some Viagras and issue tickets with raging, mega-huge boners.

    I was considering something like a few bottles of FNQ Mango wine... would that be in keeping with the spirit of prizes that are easy to award...

    I happily drink the stuff, it's actually quite nice and is representative of FNQ or would it be easier alround to just donate cash?

    I thought this prize thing had already been resolved at the 2010 champs - that it wasn't going to happen again...too much of a pain...

    I'm happy to make it 8 bottles and put one on each NTP.

    (The home wine accumulation to drinking ratio now has reached 4:1. I'd prefer to share the 2004/2005 stuff, than run the risk of leaving it too long.)

    Just don't give any to dc68, that would be a very nasty spew.

    OK people with the Champs only a bit over 5 weeks away, what is the feeling about prizes this year?
    There has been little or no discussion up until this point, so what is the best option?
    I believe vouchers or money are the go, discuss.
