    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.

    Avalon is around 60kms or 50-60 mins.

    Tullamarine is 30kms or 30-35 mins.

    Avalon you do get to go over the westgate bridge though.

    I will probably bring my trailer (or borrow someone else's) so I can shuttle a few guys from airports if need be, would be happy to make a trip to each one, multiple to both is asking a bit!

    It will be a bit late to play the course underneath the bridge though. It would be a good way to set the tone for the weekend...... (not that I've played it).

    Do you think getting in at 11:30p at Avalon is a bit too late, LeftyHodges?

    Haven't played it either but would love to. It's always intrigued me what it looks like underneath.

    Not sure about anyone else but if you want to fly to there (or if there is a group of you) I'm happy to come pick you up at that time. I'm a night owl anyway and if you and / or a group are the only ones I have to pick up I can grab you on the way through. If not and I have to collect a group from Tulla, I'm happy to come back and grab you anyway.

    Thanks. I'm not sure how long to hold off on booking flights to see what others are doing.

    I am leaning towards flying in earlier on Thursday, make a day of it.... Happy to 'fend for myself' if the need arises. I think I will fly into tullamarine though..

    I'd consider Friday morning, but I reckon it would be painful getting across town from the airports for a midday game. The missus already tried to tell me long weekends are 3 days not 4, so I'm not pushing for 5.

    No probs.

    Tough call to make, are Iain, Marto or PeteyD anywhere near you? They're the only others from QLD to express any real interest so far, apart from Courty, but he would probably fly direct Cairns to Melb I would assume if he decides to come.

    Shouldn't be a problem. If you were at Avalon by 10ish, or Tulla by 10:30ish, that's stacks of time. The main problem with that though is you have to add the extra hour for our daylight savings time to your flight.

    QANTAS at 7AM leave for 10:20 arrival at Tulla is your best choice if price isn't an option. Plus you'd save yourself $62.50 for the room at andigolds hotel.

    I told her that a long weekend is a weekend that longer than a standard weekend by adding an extra day or days, not that it was a sticking point for the permission slip.

    That's what I'm gonna do for WA. Never thought of this for QLD, and got charged $30 each way for the bag (that's actually pretty decent though, really)

    Why Cooly airport, Petey? Any savings on flights would be gone on petrol, wouldn't it?

    I'm not sure. It depends on what weight you want to take.

    Golf clubs in a carry bag by themselves are generally short of 15kg, then add in shoes, etc. You could fit most of your clothes for a weekend into carry on.

    Cooly cos it goes to Tullamarine, and parking is craploads cheaper. Or it used to be.

    I get the parking thing, but Brisbane flies to Tullamarine these days too. It's just $20 more for those flights.

    Should be an hour and 10 max unless you really get screwed with the traffic. Which is pretty rare as you're on freeway most of the trip.

    $20 baggage cost with JetPoo, which I assume is their minimum 15kg.

    The Friday morn (6am to 9am), Monday evening flights from the Gold Coast look quite attractive actually.

    Iain, stop looking and weigh in.
