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.

Happy to drop people off at the hotel on the way through if time permits if that makes things a bit easier.
As for the Friday round venue, I would suggest that somewhere close to the hotel is the best bet. Yarra Bend is probably in the wrong direction - if we're going cheap and cheerful I'd pick Sandringham, otherwise one of those sandbelt courses sounds fine. It's not like I know anything about proper golf courses, so I'll leave the decision to the experts.
Thanks for the offer Larry, not sure if any of the QLD boys ended up going Avalon but good to know you're happy to pick up from there if needed.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna keep it close to the hotel if I can, 40 minutes to Southern isn't too bad, compared to 30ish minutes to Sandringham as Plan B, and maybe Yarra Bend (25 mins) or Eastern GC (35 mins) as Plan C. Southern is not hard (in my opinion) and I think people will enjoy it more than a Sandringham or Yarra Bend.

Oh, sorry, I thought AndyP and a few others were coming in that way. Can probably do Tullamarine too if we're short on options.

That was the original plan but I think they've gone Tulla now. I THINK...
Kev has volunteered to pick up as well, so between he, you and I we should be right to get people from one side of the city to the other regardless of the airport and time of day. Thanks again mate!

I think Chappy is now only a social member of Southern or something like that. I'm sure he dropped his full membership though.
At least three of us now are into Tullamarine (AndyP, Iain, Timah!) on the Friday morning.

Executive decision made...
Southern GC it is.
$60 a head. Carts are $45 if you want one, hire pull carts are $5 for those that need them. We have the final 5 tee spots starting from approx 12:30PM on the 15th.
Unfortunately Southern do require full pre-payment for the round a week beforehand, does anyone see an issue with that? I can make the trip $260 for the golf or even $342.50 all up to include Spring valley and we can get all that paid for prior.

Yes Lefty I'm still at Southern, but AndyP was right I'm non-playing at the mo. Having said that I'm sure I could have negotiated the tee times with the GM, seems you are sorted though.
Have been lurking Nick, just trying to work out how I can swing this.
Those who have not played it before will enjoy the round, and at that time of the year it will be in very good nick. Greens will be super fast and super firm

Good to see you're interested at least Chappy! Would be great to have you on board (a little pressure implied ), but fully understand if not able.
That's why I thought to go with Southern, give them a true picture of Melbourne Sandbelt golf without the scariness of a Victoria or Yarra Yarra (not that we'd be able to get on them anyway). Fast Firm February Sandbelt greens are an experience in themselves.
I'll put you down as an interested party!

If you get lucky with the traffic, about 90 minutes from the hotel. Another 10 from the CBD itself.
Unlucky with traffic you're looking at over 2 hours.
On Saturday morning to drive down will probably be somewhere in the middle.

No worries with prepaying.
Will that be to you Lefty?
Will try and do it monthly to spread out before the end of the year.

Good stuff.
For further interest in payment, I guess I'll try to give everyone as much time to get confirmations / permissions as I can, so will probably send out a confirmation of all details at the end of this week for a deposit. Spring Valley requires a hefty deposit, as well as $100 for Moonah. Payments as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated so I can finalise bookings, purchase trophies etc but please don't feel pressure to pay straight away if you can't.
