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.

Crap Pete, are you even able to walk?

[peter_rs]

'Tis only a flesh wound!

For impact on the shin/top of the ankle it could have been worse

Crap Pete, are you even able to walk?

It's more of a hop...I'm to stupid for it to stop me

[BenM]

Good work Peter, made of stern stuff you are! There will be plenty of painkillers available in the bar after the round....

[WBennett]

I plan on having on course painkillers.

I am that keen for this weekend that I just paid my kids 20c to clean my clubs, and have now packed my bag in the most orderly fashion it has even been. My 4 outfits plus spare are folded and packed. I could be ready to go in 10 minutes. How the **** I am going to sleep on Thursday night is beyond me.

[popper81]

Yes there will.... & before.. ( if Shazza can visit work?)

[Monsta]

The have to learn the value of a dollar

Should have paid them a dollar then......

[LeftyHoges]

Should have paid them a dollar then......

Well played!

[LarryLong]

I thought Benno was the forum's designated lefty - turns out he's a big fan of slavery at home.

[kev]

Should have paid them a dollar then......

And asked for change.

[WBennett]

That was 20c between them. And they have to pay 50% back as board.
