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.

Who would have thought actually retiring from footy and the Committee means I can go away on pissy golf weekends with you yobbos. Who do I pay?

Only the Sat and Sun golf for us and we dont need any accomodation. And no - we are not offering our place as the party house!!

[shazza_rs]

I would love to say that Pete and I are definites but we won't be able to confirm until after our little bambino is born and we see how we all settle in.

Check about flying soon after Bambino too. The boss said you need to be careful about clots and stuff (not a biggy, just something to be aware of).

[Goldy]

I'm a little way off confirming, Lefty.

Would be Saturday Sunday only.....but I'll get back to you when I have a better idea of any commitments around that time.

[andigold]

I don't think Woodlands is a starter, I got a text back from the GM today and it says

Hi Andrew

I am currently at home but have looked at the 15th Feb which not surprisingly is already booked.

Of course we would like to accommodate the group and I suggest that if an alternative date can be found the best person to speak to at the club would be Richard Tullberg.

I will be back at the club in a week and happy to chat then if that suits

Regards

John

Hmmm, disappointing, but not to worry, thanks very much for trying Andi. Any other suggestions or should we try Eastern GC?

[andigold]

Well I thought I would see if maybe it works to swap them and play SV on Friday arvo and Woodlands on Monday morning. I'll check with the clubs on Monday and see what I can do. Otherwise I can try Peninsula, with 2 courses we may stand more chance for the Friday there. After that we may be forced to the clay belt.

Actually, probably not a bad idea. Might be easier for interstaters to get back to the airport too, as they just go straight up the Nepean Hwy. If you wouldn't mind seeing if the dates can be swapped it would be greatly appreciated. If we have to go to Peninsula (Sth course please, I played that much better than the Nth ) then we may need to see if SV is available for Monday anyway. Cheers Andi!

How far away now Shaz? Must be closeish?

[LeftyHoges]

St Andrews Beach have advised me that they do have a BBQ area that we can use free of charge. Just supply our own meat, buy drinks from them and all will be sweet. Meat can be organised through them but I think it would be a mile cheaper if we decide to go this way to get our own.

Not due til Christmas Day. Hoping for it to come early
