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.

Lucky???? You're funny.


You're lucky you didn't lose 10 & 8.

Would have made the 4 ball result a bit closer.

[popper81]

Not entirely true... You would have still belted me & LUCAS.

[LarryLong]

Weren't you three up after 5 or something like that?

It all went pear shaped for you on 17 when you missed the fairway by 80 metres and ended up in the 14th's greenside bunker!

It's hard to think of whippy when you're surrounded by sand.

[popper81]

I miss......... This!!!!

[BenM]

I don't miss the quality of the golf but it was great fun Popper.

Only 8 months till QLD champs tho

[popper81]

They were the first..... They aren't the best. Haha.

QLD champs will be great. It just lacks some of the charm when you live so close by & play the courses on a semi regular to regular basis. If you come up, stay & play Monday. Lakelands is good fun.

[WBennett]

Pop

If I make Qld Champs, and its a big IF, I am just keen to play courses I watched on TV many years ago. Will have to learn to chip and putt again for Queensland conditions but you get 4 days!

[Ferrins]

I want to play the next Vic champs, 1st and 2nd of Feb would suit.

[LeftyHoges]

That can be arranged...

[IanO]

Thanks for putting the results up Lefty

[LeftyHoges]

Thanks for putting the results up Lefty

No probs at all mate, you're fairly well up that leaderboard for average points, Ian. Hope you can have a full crack at it next year.

[IanO]

Do I get a ball for nearest the pin

[oncewasagolfer]

Do I get a ball for nearest the pin

You should get a sleeve of pentas mate.

[WBennett]

I believe all prizes not accepted on the day were redistributed to the Give Benno Some Penta's fund

[LeftyHoges]

Do I get a ball for nearest the pin

That's what the extra sleeve of Penta's in my bag is for...!!!

Be buggered if I could figure out why I had them there, forgot you had to take off.

I'll get em to ya somehow mate. Maybe in the 2013 VIC matchplay final?

I'll figure something out Ian!

[PeteyD]

I believe all prizes not accepted on the day were redistributed to the Give Benno Some Penta's fund

So they were changed into Chap Potatoes?

[Iain]

Do you want some, I think I've ended up with Mario's winnings.

[popper81]

Do you want some, I think I've ended up with Mario's winnings.

No, you got them because he played puss.

[Bruce]

I think I ended up with a doz - that will do me for a year I think.

No comment on the matchplay final

Maybe I can get out your way at some point and try out your course.

[popper81]

Excuse me Lefty, sorry to wake you......


When is Grumpy being awarded best dress for the vic champs? I know we will have to do a poll. I think whoever thinks they have a shot should enter their own personal favourite out fit from from the weekend.... ( sorry Ben, bucket hats will rule you out.)

IT IS CRIME THIS HASN'T HAPPENED YET

[Marto65]

This should happen ... soon.

My nominations ...

Fri - Feds
Sat - Grumpy
Sun - Bruce
Mon - Popper.

[popper81]

Your eyes are painted on...

I see it like this.

Saturday - Courty ( Loved the blue)
Sunday - Grumpy ( Any man that can pull off that, the way you did, well you deserve it)

[Monsta]

Grumpy by a counrty mile...

[Courty]

Your eyes are painted on...

I see it like this.

Saturday - Courty ( Loved the blue)
Sunday - Grumpy ( Any man that can pull off that, the way you did, well you deserve it)

His eyes may be painted on, but your memory is like a sieve!
I wore 'Angry Salmon' on Saturday. The 'Uber Ultramarine' was on Monday (with 'Racing Lavender' on Sunday).
