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.

The weather has changed a bit, I notice it is staying:
* sunny Friday
*shower Saturday
*mostly sunny Sunday
*possible storm/shower Monday.

Will a light rain shirt be enough for wet weather gear, or should I bring the 'armageddon' rain suit?

Where are you getting your info from Popper? I get (from BOM):

Friday 15 February

SummaryMin 18 Max 32 Partly cloudy.Melbourne area

Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible during the afternoon and evening. Light winds becoming southerly 20 to 30 km/h during the afternoon then turning east to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h during
the evening.

Saturday 16 February

Partly cloudy. Winds easterly 25 to 35 km/h turning south to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h during the afternoon then tending east to southeasterly during the evening.

Sunny. Winds east to northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h tending east to southeasterly later.

Monday 18 February

Sunny. Winds northerly 15 to 20 km/h, increasing to 25 to 30 km/h during the morning.

But a light rain shirt with an umbrella should be plenty.

[WBennett]

I suspect those north of the tweed will require pullovers.

thanks marto, was trying to do it on phone and ipad but just couldn't see how to find a group that way, peace of peace on the laptop.

playing in the morning, may try and use it so everyone can see me chop it around.

[Bruce]

Ignore the wind forecasts.

I am playing with my father which automatically adds 3 clubs worth of wind in the surrounding 5 km radius.

That was actually Courty. I don't trust it.

Where's Mr Whitaker?

We need a forecast for the unofficial game tomorrow too.

Was just thinking we must be due for Dick to pop in with the forecast soon.

[shazza_rs]

Shazza, I have great titts, but I think paige_rs is not going to be fooled... Can't we just leave her in a car at the casino?

As long as we leave the windows cracked I reckon we'll be okay

[peter_rs]

Had the app never joined the group, now in

Your thread, your link

Maybe we can do the right thing & leave a detailed note with her name, where we are and when we will be back. This way, anyone that finds her, will realise we aren't uncaring idiots.




This starts in ONE SLEEP (being that I will have to be up at 3.00am, it is really even closer than that)..... I am a tad excited!!!!

[WBennett]

I have one sleep and a few hours til departure. And I am at work and will be for another few hours trying to ensure that there isn't a great big pile of shit for me to come back to next Wednesday....


I dislike Monsta right now. He blew out to 14 today. Who is his victim on Friday?

The Unionists have come in 4 shots and we've blown out 4 shots. Game over man!

[popper81]

Hardly playing yourself into form.....

Talk is we will be getting a parade when we win. Courty loves parades.

Just proving we're better sandbaggers than you unionist scum (which is a bloody good effort).

Full of pink balloons?

[oncewasagolfer]

Mardi gras?

[LeftyHoges]

Mardi gras?

Any excuse for them to dress in tight leather arseless chaps.

[oncewasagolfer]

I don't think I want to come and watch now

[Courty]

We are planning on winning the honorable way.

You blokes are obviously not.

[WBennett]

Monsta informed me he lost 5 balls today. I don't think it was sandbagging!

[popper81]

Blah, Blah, Blah.!


Lefty, have you spoken with JC lately... I heard he is mentoring you.
