    Default EOI: Ozgolf VIC champs 2013 - Feb 15-18

    Hey fellow southerners. Just putting a feeler out there for any interest in having a VIC champs. Obviously it's not going to be as big as some of the other states but I don't see why we can't get 15-20 people together if we get our thinking caps on and pool ideas. Reading the "fast greens" thread has got me hankering to play Buninyong again and there is also great courses in Midlands and Ballarat GC as well. So Ballarat was my first thought as it is fairly central to everyone. Of course there is always Melbourne too, which we all know has some fine courses we could get on to.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Edited 27-09-12: OK, so it looks like down the coast for half and SE Melbourne for the other half. Propose to play Eastern GC or Settlers Run on Friday 15th with a lunch-time hitoff. Then onto St Andrews Beach for a lunch-time hitoff on Saturday. Sunday will be Moonah Legends from around 8:30 hitoff to allow the visitors time to get back to the airport if they don't want to stick around but they should as the Monday game will be at the beautiful Spring Valley.

    Accomodation will be available on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights at andigolds hotel on St Kilda Rd near the city (sorry Andi, the name escapes me), and will get group accomodation down in Rye for the Saturday night.

    Please note: This is the proposed plan. Very little has been actually booked so far, but thought I should update people as to where I'm at and what I'm looking at with the planning. If you believe you can help with any of these details or have anything better to offer please speak within the next 24 hours or forever hold your peace!

    Love
    Lefty

    Have played Moonah Legends, The Dunes, St Andrews Beach, Portsea and National Old on the Mornington side ... and Thirteenth Beach and Lonsdale on the Bellarine side.

    If we could get a deal to stay at the RACV place and play 3 or 4 days down there ... I'd be in. Moonah Legends and St Andrews Beach were awesome ... I'd play them again no worries. I have no interest in the Dunes ... it's a track.

    I've played all the good sandbelt ones too ... apart from Yarra Yarra.

    Yep. 8 teams, play each other once. Then a final in there somewhere. That is why we are trying to get out of our zone and join Sunshine Coast. Glasshouse sucks balls.

    John and I would be interested. I wouldn't worry too much about strong wind in February on the mornington peninsula. Not really an issue that time of the year - usually. We are happy to go anywhere. Xx well done lefty.

    Ok, so a run down the peninsula in late Feb might be the way to go. May be able to sneak on to one of the sandbelt courses on Monday or Friday for those interested.

    Any preference of course for the actual champs themselves. Moonah?

    SMS, can you miss one week of pennant if its early in the season?

    What Marto said, Moonah Legends & St. Andrews Beach. That said, don't take too much notice about what I say as I'm only 50/50.

    Sounds great. I can help out organising if you like Lefty seeing it's in my backyard. Depending on where everyone is staying my home club would be a great venue for dinner/drinks if we can get a shuttle.
    Accomodation at Peppers Moonah Links is pretty pricey as is the resturant/bar.
    RACV Cape Schank Resort is a better option or Fairways which is at Rosebud Country Club - but I wouldn't advise playing there.
    Just let me know if you want me to check out anything.

    That's what she told me!

    OK, so without speaking to any courses or accomodation, I'm going to try and pull this off on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of February. I'll look at booking for 15-20 for St Andrews beach on Saturday and Moonah Links legends on Sunday. If you guys are really nice to me I'll see what I can do to get us on to Yarra Yarra or similar sandbelt courses for Monday / Friday. If you interstaters are coming down we want to treat you to the best. I'll even volunteer to be a shuttle from the airport to hotels etc on Thursday night / Friday morning, but hire cars will probably be your best bet.

    Anyone have any massive conflicts with that weekend date?

    Cape Schanck is worth adding to courses to consider, maybe as a pre/post round and they will accept largish bookings.

    Well, on the accomodation front Moonah is ridiculously pricey and Cape Schanck may well be booked out that weekend.

    Hmmm, more investigation needed.

    The weekend prior of the 16th and 17th could work for Cape Schanck accomodation at this stage.

    Sounds excellent Lefty

    It's in my iCal!

    Nepean Country Club might be another accommodation possibility? It's right next door to Eagle Ridge and only a few mins from Moonah and StAB.

    I reckon RACV Resort would be awesome ...

    * Possible Friday Venue
    * Possible venue for a quick nine hole foresomes/ambrose/shootout after a morning(?) round in the champs ...

    There are a lot of holiday rentals down here that accomodate up to 10 people that can work out to be a good deal. Plenty online that you can search.

    Not that it matters overly, but looking at dates, those weekend will work for me... Uni exams will be the first week of Feb, so I will be all good to travel. If it happens to fall on exam week, so be it... Any other time, I think I can make it happen. I have never been to Melbourne, but I hear the coffee and shopping is to die for, maybe that's why I haven't bothered
