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.

[LeftyHoges]

Blah, Blah, Blah.!


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

He spoke with me, but I couldn't understand his drawl. Damn North Americans!

[Marto65]

We are planning on winning the honorable way.

You blokes are obviously not.

+1 Billion.

[Monsta]

Was way too excited to think of anything today but kicking Union germs up and down the fairway.....

Thanks for informing everyone of my misfortunes today Spud, it's a long bloody walk on Friday for you....

Lefty, can we give him to the Unionists???

[kev]

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!!!!

Just make sure Shaz is in any group in front of Courty. Otherwise who knows when you'll be back.

St Andrews Beach forecast.

[oncewasagolfer]

Shit I might have to take an umbrella

[Courty]

St Andrews Beach forecast.

Mostly sunny on Saturday... what could possibly go wrong?

If we were playing The Dunes, I'd say "A Lot!". But we're not, so I won't.

[Courty]

If we were playing The Dunes, I'd say "A Lot!". But we're not, so I won't.

I've gotta get back there to play the back 9 one of these days.

[simmsy]

Reads like typical Vic weather.

I'm getting excited and I'm 5000km away.

Who's having a glass of warm milk?
Lefty u seem likely.

[popper81]

I can't sleep..... Have to be up in a hour

[Marto65]

I cant sleep, have to be up in 25 hours

[popper81]

Boom, it go time!

Coffee me!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marto65]

Better call a mod if we are both awake and posting.

[popper81]

On the 5.55am flight.... Melbourne, here I come!!!

[LeftyHoges]

I'll be your host, LeftyHoges.

We've got a veritable smorgasbord of courses and experiences lined up for your golfing pleasure.

I'm going to work today, but I don't expect to be overly productive, except to print off course notes, finalise travel plans, etc.

What is this work of which you speak?

[Marto65]

Don't forget to fire up gamebook today lefty. Keep us all entertained.

[PeteyD]

Have a ball everyone. Wish I was going.

[Iain]

No work for me today. Got a bit to do though.

[PeteyD]

Signed up to Golfgame book, what do I do now to watch the carnage in real time?

[AndyP]

You have to find the OZgolf group on their web page (not app). That's as far as I've got so far, because I can't see a join button.
I haven't confirmed my rego yet though.
