    Default Official VIC champs thread - Feb 15-18, Melbourne

    Click HERE for Countdown!

    Advance weather forecast here

    Please double check the table in post#1 to make sure your accomm and golf details are right.

    Thur, Fri, Sun accomm: andigolds Park View Hotel on St Kilda Rd. He's supplied us the very generous rate of $62.50 per person twin share, with option for people to room up as 4's for below $50 a head. An absolute steal to be so cheap so close to the CBD. No prepayment required, one person in each room to put up a credit card on check in & then just pay on checkout. 10 days before for final numbers is enough notice.

    Sat accomm: Here. 15 people officially booked in for Sat accomm. $70 a head.

    Fri golf: Southern GC. $60, carts are an extra $45, pull carts $5 hire. We have the last 5 groups booked from approximately 12:30 onwards. Should give interstaters arriving that morning a bit of time to get to the hotel, or straight to the club and have a quick meal or drink. Daylight no issue for any of these times as Daylight savings will be in full swing.

    Sat golf: 6 tee times, 12:00PM onwards at St Andrews Beach. Cost will be $85 & includes cart or $69-50 without. Please note if you decide prior you don't want a cart but then want one on the day they will be $40.

    Sun golf: Confirmed, 5 slots, 9:20AM to 10AM at Moonah Links Legends Course. Cost of $95 & includes cart.

    Mon golf: Spring Valley GC - 7:56AM hitoff. Cost of $82.50, no cart.

    So, a total of $200 for golf on Saturday & Sunday, with $20 going towards prizes. Or if you wish, please pay the full $342.50 for all four rounds golf, or the full payment for whatever rounds you are playing + $20 for prizes. Full payment preferred but instalments OK too. Final payment by 22nd Jan 2013.

    Meals / activities:

    Thurs night: Had in Lime restaurant @ Parkview Hotel. Chicken was magnificent but the Lamb Wellington is still my choice here.

    Fri night: BBQ and salad had. Some regurgitated. Andy has provided a conference room for "activities". They will be good fun and include the all important BYO alcohol (which some should steer clear of next year!).

    Sat night: BBQ at St Andrews Beach Golf Club. Drinks must be purchased from the club but we can bring whatever else we like. FG can get hold of some meat (stop sniggering you lot!) and salads. Need to know final numbers a week or so before. Probably around $10 a head to cover costs.

    Sun night: Was the awesome idea of Chinatown with beers @ Young & Jacksons hotel.

    I can organize the meat. Just let me know. We are only ten minutes from the course.

    Could be an option, considering we could probably do Andi's dinner idea on the Friday night as a welcome to the Champs, then everything is informal after that! I think the golf is costing everyone enough money that we may need to cut down some costs on the meals. Then those that want to go to a RSL or pub for a further drink can, and those that want to be soft and go home to "look after themselves" and try and win champs the next day can too.

    Consensus?

    The BBQ sounds fun, but I am happy to do dinner elsewhere if the group decides....... What ever is easy!

    If we go the BBQ option, I am happy to help out.

    I was trying to book as well, but the missus won't tell me if I am approved to go. She reckons it is too far away to think about.

    Avalon flights at $49, although it flies out after 10pm coming back on weeknights.

    Book the flights anyway, that way the money is gone and it would be a shame to waste it...

    Plus, we've gotta have "The Boss" for the first(?) Ozgolf VIC Champs!

    Tulla is the best one but if a few of you have to go to Avalon (in between Melbourne and Geelong) I'm sure we can work something out.

    What is everyone looking at time wise? Thursday through to Monday?

    I have a good mate who works for virgin, so I can do better price wise, but I am happy to spend an extra $100 on flights if it makes things easier in the long run.

    For Jetpoo, I looked at the Bris to Avalon return, Thurs evening, Monday night flights. I didn't get around to checking the times for Tullamarine.

    That is similar to what I looked at, but for Tullamarine... $69 + baggage.

    Most likely flights on the cheap to play all 4 rounds, while only using up 2 days leave (Friday/Monday):


    Jetstar Brisbane-Avalon - Thurs 6:25p - 9:45p

    Jetstar Tullamarine-Brisbane Mon 3:35p-4:50p
    Jetstar Tullamarine-Brisbane Mon 5:50p-7:05p
    Jetstar Avalon-Brisbane - Mon 10:15p-11:25p

    Virgin might do a sale in response soon? They are at $105 ($85 from Gold Coast) with $12 extra for baggage each way at the moment.
    They have many flights in and out of Tullamarine, including the option of coming in Friday morning.

    If flights could be coordinated with someone else, worst case we could get a hire car to share, if we can't get a lift or get a shuttle.

    If I can get reasonably priced flights and coordinate with someone else, I AM IN.

    I feel much the same.... Happy to hire a car if that works out easier....

    As you are aware, the leave factor doesn't bother me, and if someone wanted a thursday round, I would be keen for that as well.

    Guess it depends on what everyones thoughts are regarding travel vs. I will just do my own thing.

    Andy, are you travelling on you own? No family?

    Other Qld lads, who is doing the family option vs. the golf weekend?

    Schools in so no family option for me (fingers crossed). I'd be interested in going down earlier on Thursday to settle into the hotel etc.

    Some time in Feb the QLD Female gridiron team is going down there to play the Western Foxes. Hope it isn't this weekend ... but if it is the one before or after I may be down for a week

    Families don't belong on golf weekends. It's just me.

    I would try to work on Thursday, to preserve my limited leave and not be away too long.

    Avalon Thurs night, Tullamarine late Monday arvo would work well.
