    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

    Cape Schanck accommodation looks A LOT better for the weekend of the 16th and 17th. Any violent objections to that date?

    OK, to get a sense of whether Cape Schanck accommodation would even be a goer, it looks like the per person rate in a 3 bedroom villa would be $125 AT THE MEMBER RATE, if I could talk them into that for a group booking.

    Yay or nay?

    Situation is moot anyway, Cape Schanck has not the rooms to house 20-30. Back to the drawing board.

    Fairways resort @ Rosebud? Not yet, but could be a goer as I've found little else. What are the rates like? Likely to be booked out for 14th-17th Feb?

    Yeah, found plenty of those but they all seem to sleep less than what they say. Mostly due to blokes having to sleep together in double / queen beds. We like each other but I don't know if it's that much!

    Sorry, Lefty, old joke. He apparently managed to find a nice roach/flee infested place last time he booked accommodation down that way

    Busted!! I'm interested in playing in this Lefty. I can also help with accom at my hotel on St Kilda Rd and Monday at Spring Valley should be fine as long as there isn't a corporate day. It's about a 90 minute drive to the peninsula courses from the hotel though so it would be necessary to hire cars. I could also organise a function room (with BYO liquor) and an inexpensive dinner for the Saturday night if that suited. Lets see how it evolves.

    I could very well be interested in this chin dig of a golf game...


    As flowergirl suggested there is other alternatives rather then booking out resorts or motel accomadation.

    Holiday house's around that area are very reasonably priced and could work out alot cheaper for everyone if the pitch in some dollars each

    I did this with a group of guys a year or 2 back and there was about 8 of us and it only cost us 70-80 bucks a night each

    something worth looking into guys and gals

    holiday rental house in RYE for a 2 night minimum for say 8 people in february is $760 total approx on a quick search

    it would work out $95 per person for a 2 night stay you would pay alot more in motel or racv resort

    I must say I'd prefer to stay down the coast than St Kiilda Rd (please no offense andigold) and mainly due to the fact that I'm only 30-40 mins drive from Rye where I live. It'd be a bit kooky renting a hotel room in the city, then having to drive past my house to get to the course! In saying that, if the general consensus was to stay there, I'd do it and could fit another 4 in my car to take down.

    OK, we may have to go the route of sleeping in single bunk beds if we want to stay down near the courses.

    I really need an answer from everyone if they don't want to do this. Time is running short if we want to get this done on this weekend. Otherwise we may very well be out of options as I believe Fairways Resort is booked pretty solid for this weekend.

    I also need a general consensus to switching accommodation mid trip. Ie we may be able to get into andigolds hotel Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights (not that I've told him yet, consider yourself notified now Andi) to play city courses on Friday and Monday, then head down the Freeway for the games on Saturday and Sunday, staying somewhere down there overnight.

    I'm sorry that it may have to happen this way ladies and gents but due to very short time constraints it looks like this may be the best and / or only options.

    I'm sure there will be plenty of cars available to shuttle people around. Agree VIC'S?
