    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

    Thanks to all those that have offered help and advice so far. Larry, I'll reply to your PM tomorrow once I've investigated your options a little further (although from what I can see bayplay is booked out this weekend). Nepean could well be an option.

    I'm putting it out to everyone right now, staying on course is NOT an option if we're going down the peninsula. I think it would be great as a second option if we could all stay together (well as many as possible) in a shared accommodation deal, there seems to be a few in Rye and Sorrento, 10 to 15 minutes from the proposed Saturday and Sunday courses.

    I'm personally a big fan of Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights in andigolds hotel (if available) and playing Friday and Monday closer to the city on sandbelt courses and Saturday, Sunday down on the peninsula.

    Thoughts?

    I would be possibly interested in making an appearance at this, dependent on funds/work commitments/etc. Always keen for more golf especially trying out some new courses!

    Thanks for the input FG!

    For the record if any of you missed it earlier, I've already spoken to St Andrews Beach about the Saturday game, and I'll call moonah tomorrow morning about the Sunday time slot. If we can get on to Spring Valley that'll only leave one more track to organise, and I should be able to find us something half decent without too much hassle.

    Pick me as well. Sounds like fun. I just hope that I can get away two weekends in a row as I have a 3 day event in Tocumwal the following weekend.

    Beauty, thanks HCC. Would be looking at playing there on Friday 15th, can you get us a group rate for around 25-30 for a 12:00 hitoff, with and without carts (if Eastern has enough, been a while since i've played there)? Would be good with carts as we don't want to subject the interstaters to all those hills on the first day! Just a tentative at this stage, as I'm tossing up between Eastern and Settlers Run.

    How's the course likely to be at that time of year?

    Amended in title for you Petey! This is just an EOI at this stage but I'm 99% certain this will be the date.

    Agree with PeteyD... Although I have no idea about course.. tell me when, and how much

    For the QLD Boys - I am thinking Thursday flights down, Monday home... But more than happy to fit in with what is easiest, when it comes to booking!

    I might be able to get us on at Woodlands on the Friday arvo if you wanted Lefty. Let me know if you want me to ask the question.

    Woodlands trumps both Eastern GC and Settlers Run combined! If you could ask the question it would be greaty appreciated. I have half a contact for there but didn't really want to use him. I think everyone would be happy to pay a little extra for a top course like that! Cheers Andi!

    How does those accomodation dates work out for your place? Do you have enough rooms for what looks like could be 30 people, but probably closer to 20?

    That's what I've tried to keep in mind, but if we can get on to Woodlands in the arvo then a Friday morning flight could work still. It's just over an hour from Tullamarine to Woodlands.

    Edit: Just noticed / realised that you'll be fighting Daylight savings on that morning. So your flight will technically take just over 3 hours. Could be pushing it a little, depending on hitoff times for Woodlands / Eastern. If Settlers Run is the venue than you'll pretty much want to be here the night before.

    The dates are OK for Accom Lefty, Chinese new year is still hanging about for the Thursday but this far out I still have plenty of rooms. I will create a group and book us a dozen rooms now so that we don't miss out. Is everybody happy to twin share? If so I can do bed & brekky for $62.50 per person. I also have some rooms that can sleep 4 and that will drop the cost for bed & brekkie to under $50 per person if that's of interest. The hotel is the St Kilda Rd Parkview Hotel.

    I'll call the GM's at Spring Valley and Woodlands and see if they have availability and if we can book it in. I can also book us a function room for the Friday night and organise dinner (BYO drinks) if people are keen.
