Well ladies and gents, its the moment you've all been waiting for...

Thur & Sun night accomm: As usual we will be staying at the magnificent Chateau de Andigold, the Parkview Hotel, 562 St Kilda Rd. Options include 4 to a room, 2 to a room and the "Solarman single". Approx $60 per night.
Fri & Sat night accomm: BayPlay Lodge and Cottage, Blairgowrie. We have the lodge and Cottage, sleeping around 42 (I think, will confirm). We will have the whole complex to ourselves, pool included. Cost approx $70 a head per night, but the more we get the cheaper it becomes for everyone.

Now, the info you really care about:

Thurs golf: We head back to the #18 ranked course in Australia, Woodlands Golf Club. As per last year, tee-off will be shotgun start from around 4.00PM. Cost of $80 per head.

Cost is confirmed at $225 and includes a light lunch prior and drinks and a BBQ dinner after the match. Field is not limited. Be there before 11:00 am for team photos and lunch.
Sat golf: You loved it in 2013, so we had to put it back in the rota. St Andrews Beach, ranked #21 in Aus. We have 36 spots booked and 13 carts. $71 per walker, $89 per Carter. Tee off from 12:27pm.
Sun golf: The beautiful and picturesque RACV Cape Schanck Resort, for the great price of $45 for walkers and $68 for Carters. Again, 32 spots and 11 carts booked. Tee off from 8:12AM - 9:08AM. $5 pull carts available for hire.
Mon golf: We head back to the "mudbelt", but next door to last years venue. La Trobe GC. $50 a head, and tee-off from 8AM.

As per usual, please let me know in the thread what days you will be attending, what nights accommodation you will be needing and whether you need a cart for Saturday & Sunday.

Or replaying from the tee if you're too wide on Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of marrum grass to swallow balls.

Sounds like I need to build a fairway finding club for the trip!!!

[LeftyHoges]

Yep. Essential at Woodlands and Vic. St Andrews is wide, but if you're so wide that you miss the fairway you could be in some deep kack. Haven't played Cape Schanck so couldn't tell you, but i'd assume similar to St Andy's.

[KristianJ]

Lefty, I expect at least twice as warm.

Yeah it will be just like that KJ, but it'll be 30deg ambient and the wind will be 40deg. And you'll be hungover, tired and sunburnt. On a brutal course.

Can't wait!

It'll beat low 40s at home without a breath of wind. And I'll be stocking up on solar sleeves for sure!

But unless I can secure one of my travelling comrades as a designated co-driver, I can't speak for the hungover bit.

From memory it hit 42° at The Dunes on the Saturday last year without a breath of wind.

[Captain Nemo]

**** didn't it what!

[LarryLong]

Had I have done that I probably would've taken Vicci home instead of AndyP.

You took AndyP home?

I thought what happened on the trip stayed on the trip?

[AndyP]

You took AndyP home?

I thought what happened on the trip stayed on the trip?

Yes, but there was definitely no ball swallowing.

[LeftyHoges]

Imagine what could've happened had he been beardless.

[Waddzy]

Extremely essential at Woodlands , I think I lost my first doz of lethals at that course and was worried about my ball stock for the remaining. Lucky the rest of the courses were wide.

[WBennett]

Woodlands is very tight in places. Not long, but finding a 180 straighty is worth it.

St AB does reward accuracy. The long stuff eats balls (like Solarman)

Had a quick look at Cape Schanck - it looks like it could also be a place where you could lose a fair few, especially if the wind gets up.

[Waddzy]

Did woodlands have a hole out of play last year? Looks like we played the 19th as the 16th last year?

Edit* just checked gamebook must of been the 3rd we played as a temp hole ( only birdie of the round ) I also had 7 wipes and 5 of those were in a row.

[PeteyD]

We played the 19th par 3 at the back, and one hole was out of play, I think it was 3.

[Monsta]

Is it now law that the winner has to take trophy out with them on Sunday night????????

(This could influence the design of the trophy)

That's a full blood smash with the driver downwind for you isn't it???

[AndyP]

Yep, I'm happy to do that again.
I don't know if I'll be able to celebrate it with a big beer milestone as well though.

[WBennett]

I also had 7 wipes and 5 of those were in a row.

It wasn't a pretty mid round run for you was it?

[PeteyD]

Do better This year. Looking forward to the 4th again.

[LeftyHoges]

That's a full blood smash with the driver downwind for you isn't it???

Smack laid down.

Despite the Spuds dismal effort this year I'll have $20 that he outscores you in 2015.

[Monsta]

Wow, its started already..............

[mrbluu]

Done, but only if he is off anchors by then

[Waddzy]

It wasn't a pretty mid round run for you was it?

But how pumped was I watching that 30 footer drop on the temp hole for bird? Such an enjoyable 22 points.

[WBennett]

Bluu is a home track hero.
And most of the rough on the peninsula is taller than him anyway.

[PeteyD]

So are the tee markers.

[Captain Nemo]

Bluu is a home track hero.

SNAP!

This is shaping up for a big w/end already....

[WBennett]

This is shaping up for a big w/end already....

Anyone who plays with Bluu feels big around him.
