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.

Lefty you did a fantastic job! I am only sorry that I could only manage the one day. I will take the time off for the next one no matter what.

[Steve57]

Looks like Iain got nobbled last night!

[BenM]

Something in the Chinese food from last night's dinner?

It was a tough day out there, to be fair. But not 19/21 points tough. I only hit about 3 shots out of the middle all day - think we're all just spent from laughing at Popper and Marto's jokes all weekend.

[peter_rs]

Thanks JC its not like I was lower for a long period of time

Last time I played with you I was off the same

Have a look at my golflink it not like I'm playing a lot any more.

For the record I was not in the comp as I didn't want to add a another crap score.... Positive

Moonah could not play easier.

Ps is you want the champs to be comp rounds then make it part of the fees and SMS loved to play pelican of the whites(reds) last year

[Johnny Canuck]

For some reason I thought you had been playing off singles recently, which is why I was so surprised by the 14.

Looks like you got to play some top courses.

[andigold]

Thanks Lefty for organising such a fun weekend. Everything was awesome, even Marto

It was great to meet the guys from up north and put some faces to names, make a bunch of new friends and play some golf. The confederate v union day was as much fun as I have ever had a golf course, I 'm just spewing I missed a 5 footer on 16 to take AndyP's unbeaten in five years crown.

Popper sucking up all the words and Lefty slaughtering half his brain cells on Friday night was another highlight as was watching the big pop play Moonah Legends in even par (or 1 over, I don't remember which). Monsta may have won the 4 day NAGA but he & I are undefeated in table tennis.

What dates have you chosen for next year Lefty?

[Marto65]

No one has ever won the Table Tennis / Champs Double ... or the Albert Park Run/ Champs Double, or the Putting Comp/Champs Double.

[Marto65]

In fact ... no one has ever won the Get Maggoted/Vic Champs Double either ...

[WBennett]

Pete

After hearing of your 21 points on Thursday, you have put four excellent rounds together and deserved the win.

[Lucasto23]

Has this Spid been dUmped yet Monsta

Well done Monsta ... you just beat my three round total.

[LeftyHoges]

Well done Monsta ... you just beat my three round total.

You may not have racked up many more today though Marto. Only flushers scored well today

[Marto65]

Yep ... you played good on the "Minor" days mate. Well done.

So ... how did we go Scratch on the "Major" days?

[WBennett]

At Albury now. Only three and a half hours left.... we are changing drivers like it's Bathurst. You drive. No you drive. Etc

[LeftyHoges]

Yep ... you played good on the "Minor" days mate. Well done.

So ... how did we go Scratch on the "Major" days?

I wouldn't call Friday "minor" those who lost may though.

All square on the Saturday, got me by 5 on Sunday I think. So minus the 15 shots hangover head start I gave you you're 10 back.

Gee ... close then hey ...

[WBennett]

My confederate hat may get a run this weekend. Shows great form with 35 and 36 points for its two days

[kev]

Lefty - fantastic organising. You did a mightily impressive job there!
