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.

Next Year:
If you guys would like me to organise next years events I will continue on but

Stop right there Lefty. I think you've got the job for life.

[AndyP]

I think I was in some sort of coma last night, and I nearly slept in for taking the kids to school. There's nothing like your own bed to sleep in.

Where do we all hurt? My right tricep is a bit sore, but it's the lips that are hurting from being fried by the sun.

[Courty]

I actually feel pretty good today, but I had a cold sore appear within about half an hour of getting home. The sun & wind took their toll.

[WBennett]

Nothing sore - but I have drunk around 10L of water in the last 24 hours and can confidently say I can pee again.

My blisters were managable, especially after seeing BenM's festering foot. Wallet survived pretty well, as there were no 5am Casino trips. The wife wondered where all this new gear (shirts, hats, gloves, rain jacket and GPS) appeared from though....

[BenM]

Mostly feet, but also lip (burn) and back. After last night, calf as well. My body is reminding me I'm not 20 any more...

[AndyP]

My calf was stuffed on Saturday, but that was after the run in the morning.

[LarryLong]

My ears are still hurting.

[Courty]

My ears are still hurting.

[popper81]

Getting old boys.... Quit your whining.



Lefty, well said..... You're welcome.!!!!

[kev]

Shoulders, lower back, hamstrings, and I think I've only just become properly re-hydrated!

[Monsta]

My ears are still hurting.

Is that from me LarryLong???

I slept in yesterday until 10am, think I needed to catch up a bit on my sleep. Surprisingly my back pulled up extremely well after 4 games of golf and the long drive there and back. Nothing hurts, except having to return to work today

[aym]

Hi All, Apologies for no show on Friday.. I've been working 12 hour days for the last 3 weeks and got another 2 weeks to go

[LarryLong]

Is that from me LarryLong???

Yeah, but I'm only kidding around. I was so buggered after a morning run and a walk around StAB that I could have slept through anything. I think I crashed a few minutes after Benno, fell asleep with the lights still on and slept like a baby for the whole night despite the death metal concert going on in the bunk below.

[Monsta]

Death Metal concert?? probably the best description I have ever heard Mr Long (pmsl). Next champs I will be supplying earplugs to all my room mates

[LeftyHoges]

Where do we all hurt?

Where's my dignity located?

[Monsta]

Where's my dignity located?

Isnt that on the tiles outside Andigolds conference room????

[LeftyHoges]

Isnt that on the tiles outside Andigolds conference room????

Most of it probably is. I must still have a little of it left in me though or else it wouldn't hurt so much.

[Monsta]

Its nothing to worry about Lefty, we have all done it at some stage, plus it gives us all something to talk about on OZgolf

[popper81]

On a scale of 1-10 of drunken performances you were about a 1.5. It all happened so quick, we didn't even get any of the fun/silly/stupid stuff. You were the most considerate person to sleep on a balcony, EVER.

[shavey]

Great read guys and we look forward to welcoming you to the Goldie in November. Congratulations Lefty on a pretty impressive effort putting this all together as well.

What we needed to find was a 24hr Officeworks for markers pens and plastic wrap.

[AndyP]

I regret not having a drink at the pub on Sunday evening. I thought the lads were going to have a big session, not have a couple of quiet ones like they did. So many beers on tap.

[Eag's]

Soft form by the sounds AP, why didn't you fire them up?

I checked around the room first to make sure there were none before getting that drunk!

And yet we only drank Carlton Draught...

[ddasey]

Sounds like everyone had a fantastic couple of days.

Gutted I couldn't get down, will work harder on next year.

Grew up in Mornington so would be nice to make it back down the Peninsula.
