2014 VIC OZgolf Champs - Feb 7 - 10
Thur, Fri, Sun accomm: andigolds Park View Hotel on St Kilda Rd. A very generous rate (again!) of $62.50 pp twin share, can to room up as 4's for below $50 a head. No prepayment required, one person in each room to put up a credit card on check in & then pay on checkout. 10 days prior for final numbers. Please add a review here.
Sat accomm: Nepean Country Club. 6 Two Bedroom Split Level apartments, sleeping 6 each at $350 a night. $60 a head if we fill the rooms, $72 a head max if we don't.
Thurs 6th golf: Woodlands Golf Club. $80 (member-guest rate and a very good price for a very good course) 3:45 to 4:00PM hit-off. Probable self-cooked BBQ tea afterwards, just awaiting confirmation of this. Cost of dinner TBA. Course guide here.
Fri 7th golf: An exceptional course last year in Southern GC. This year we're not just going one better, we're going 92 better (according to Golf Digests 2006 top 100 list). ROYAL MELBOURNE GC - West Course! Cost of $245 a head and includes a light lunch, drinks on course (non-alcoholic, I assume will still cost), finger food afterwards. Unfortunately no golf-only option (Club Captains Decision) and CAPPED AT 32 PLAYERS! Sorry guys, we tried to fight for more spots but no can do. If we want to play at RM we play by RM's rules. As a matter of interest we are the only corporate / social group in 2+ years to have got on to play RM on a Friday so we are very, very lucky. 1:30PM tee-off. Course guide here.
Sat 8th golf: The Dunes Links. 10 groups @ $55 a head with 29+ players. $60 with less. $42 carts. 2 tee start > 12:16 onwards. 10 carts booked. $5 pull carts.
Sun 9th golf: Portsea Links. 10 groups @ $50 per head with 33+ players, $55 with less. $45 carts. 2 tee start, 8:19 off 10th, 8:33 off 1st. 10 carts booked. $5 pull carts. $15 electric buggies. Obviously with seedings this may make things difficult with carts but I will try to juggle people around as best I can.
Mon 10th golf: Kew GC. 8AM hitoff. $75 per player. Download Course Guide here.
So, $105 for golf on Sat & Sun, with an additional $25 going towards prizes. All four official days $465 (includes $25 for prizes). Pre payment instalments available as per last year. Final payment by 10th January please.
Meals / activities:
Thurs night: Grab a few quick frothies at Woodlands, then head to the TapHouse on Carlisle St for more brewskies. Dinner from somewhere on the street.
Fri night: Buffet style with curry and slow roasted meat of some variety. Andy provided a conference room for "activities". They were great fun and included all important BYO alcohol. I urge all to attend this.
Sat night: Pizza's delivered. BYO alcohol. Unfortunately no personal games room but we have free use of it, mini golf course is under lights. Indoor tennis courts, basketball.
Sun night: STEAK NIGHT!!!

Ironman (because of the number of players spread over the varying days we decided it was from all ‘official’ rounds, with best 3 counting)
LeftyHoges and Andigold tied on 109 points
Calcutta winner
Paying the relatively measly price (in comparison to some) of $30, Solarman was the winner of the first OZgolf Calcutta, which raised over $220 for BeyondBlue.
4 of the eventual top 5 went for relatively cheap prices with Shadesy being the only "high priced" player there.
Best Dressed
I’m giving this gong to LarryLong. When all of his outfits looked superb for less than the price of a Family Pack at KFC, you can’t go past it.
Thanks
I can’t say enough for all the OZgolfers who helped me out with these champs. You’ve all contributed in one way or another to what is now rumoured (I’m hearing whispers everywhere) to be THE OZgolf Champs.
Special thanks of course must go to andigold for his accommodation again and for arranging games at Woodlands and Royal Melbourne, monsta65 for his fantastic works with the trophies (I’m sure you’ll get a very confusing text message on the night that I polish off that bottle of Ouzo, and I’m sorry that it was my thing that nearly made you lose your thumb!), Simmsy for organising everyones handicaps for the week as the new slope system made things interesting straight up, Shadesy for organising dinner on Saturday night especially under the ultimate irony of him HATING that every WA champs he gets asked “Whats for dinner?”, PeteyD for his assistance with scores over the weekend, Bruce for being the consummate professional with his MC role and providing water for the guys at the Dunes, Marto65 for his work with gamebook it does keep things interesting and the multi-round feature will be great once up and running properly, and I didn’t mention them previously but Spanner & Kev, thanks for your chauffeur work over the champs.
Sorry if I’ve missed anyone, but another thanks must go to you all for your generosity with the auction and Calcutta. Total monies raised for BeyondBlue stands at $1,143-30. Well done guys!
Thanks all, much love!

If the comp is Stableford, you could miss that hole and play drinks biatch for your group

Not long to go before final entries close.
C'mon locals, we're stuck at the rather uncomfortable number of 33 for the weekend games, would be great to get to 36.
Chappy, mint, Goldy, chinaski, wools, oz, ozdevil, firey, BGH? Any of you available?

OK locals, absolute last, no nonsense chance to get in on any of the days. I have to have numbers finalised and to the clubs by Tuesday next week. 2PM Tuesday is you're absolute cutoff point, no more entries will be accepted after that.
Chinaski and Chappy, can I have your confirmations for Saturday at your earliest convenience please?
Locals, we're at the uncomfortable number of 33 for Sunday so there's still 3 spots available for this day also.
