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.

[Courty]

Waiting for my flight to board... are we there yet?

[WBennett]

Stuck at work. Can today Hurry TFU

[BenM]

Waiting for my flight to board... are we there yet?

Ditto. Delayed, grrrrr. Waited at checkin for about 30 minutes while a touring party of about a hundred Chinese people tied up all the checkin desks and kept pushing in. Then got stung $40 for excess weight (my golf clubs have somehow got 4kgs heavier since the last time I took 'em away!)

Off to a great start

[popper81]

Popper is in the building.... FYI - I am ready to play

[BenM]

I hope you tank SO BAD.

They finally just called business class to board. Reckon I won't hit Tulla until 11:30.

[LeftyHoges]

At my current rate I'll be there around 12:30 boys.

[Jarro]

Have fun peeps

[LeftyHoges]

Ah shit, 2 hours in and I've just figured out I've left the gross prize at home. I suppose I better win it now!

Wonder how many more things ill figure out I've forgotten by the time I get to Melbourne?!

No chance...

[3Puttpete]

I need to find someone to cheer on while I follow this on Gamebook.

Ok, I'm on the Popper bandwagon*. I've been seduced (no homo) by the mix of kid on Christmas Eve excitement, wolverine aggression and Shane Watson-like fragility. Go Popper!

*I can be fickle and reserve the right to jump off like an adulterer at the sound of a car pulling into the driveway.

Dobber.

[popper81]

I can say what I want. What happens at champs, stays at champs.... Right?

I am a little disappoint. I expected a big welcoming party from Puji.

[muldude]

Oh man...............getting excited now !!!!!! bring it

[oncewasagolfer]

I still don't know when I'm leaving which is stemming my excitement a bit, bloody x....

[kev]

Well, I suppose I should think about putting the clubs in the car soon.

[oncewasagolfer]

I have to get all of the kids toys out of the car first.

[LarryLong]

Stuck in the office today feeling just a little disappoint.

I'm almost excited enough to consider practice before tomorrow's round

[WBennett]

It is just 14 hours until Monsta's ute pulls out of my driveway.

I am as annoying as Hayden Ballantyne today... can't focus, got Golftrip A.D.D
