    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 got 20kg checked in baggage for $20 each way. Feel free to catch the same flights either way, guys.

    FWIW St Andrew's Beach is the only course I've played out of those listed. I have played Moonah Open too with FG.
    I think I may try and get on the same flight home as you.... On the way down, I will go thursday...

    Lefty, is there any merit in having a day that is not a top 100 course? I'm a big top 100 course collector, but the days at your average course can give some relief from the brutality of the others and feel a bit more social.

    Could well be. Peninsula are playing a bit of hard ball and look like only booking us in at corporate rates. Nice course but for $120 (with dinner) I don't think it's for us. Maybe Eastern GC could be back on the radar. Settlers Run could be an option but its a similar course to St Andrews Beach and Moonah. Probably not overly easy for those who spray the ball. Eastern should be a little in the cheaper side and while its hilly, it's a nice parkland track that we can play off the whites for a little relief before getting into "the business".

    Lift offer accepted, if it's not too inconvenient. Thanks. I think the times of arrival/departure are pretty decent. I'm sure we could get to the hotel on the shuttle, if needed and get lifts from there.

    Is there a Nudgee/Redcliffe equivalent?
    I assume Growling Frog is another brutal course?
    I'm just throwing ideas out there, now that I am in.

    I just realised that I'm not confirmed. Sorry Lefty. I think I'm good for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday not so sure at this stage.

    I'll be driving past Avalon on the Friday no matter where we are playing, so I'm happy to pick people up.

    Possible cheap and cheerful options for Friday if you can't get on the premium tracks:
    -Albert Park - yes I know it's not in the league of the other options, but it's reasonably close to Andy's Chateau and not too far from the two airports.
    -Sandringham - we can all close our eyes and listen to the sound of BMW engines in the background and imagine we're playing Royal Melbourne.
    Still not playing enough GolfLink | Slightly less terrible stats brought to you by Golfshot - F: 57%, GIR: 23%, UD: 14%, P: 34. Wow, improvement! | Nickent brand ho or tightarse? You be the judge!
