NSW Champs 26-28 June 2015

[mrbluu]

I'm out and about at the moment but I've made a few inquiries and will add details tonight.

The dates are a lock as are the courses and accommodation just waiting for confirmation prices once we get final numbers as they have to figure out how many cabins we need.

There is a $15 a game prize fee.

Friday - Horizons 10.30am (optional warm round)

Saturday - Pacific Dunes (round 1) - 10.30am Groups

$60 for Walking - Add $15 for Cart -

Sunday - The Vintage (round 2) - 9am - 5 groups

$98 including Cart and Range balls. We can get extra groups if needed, but they will before 9am.


Thoughts at the moment is to book dinner at a pub in Stockton for Friday night and then we can do a BBQ as a group on Sat night.

Cabins are available at Stockton Caravan Park for around $50-70 a night for 3 or 5 share.

****ing luckiest golfer on Ozgolf by a bloody mile.....
You would have lost a dozen more balls like me if you went that lucky!

Hahhaha funny. I'll try harder next time we play

My turn to provide a personal recap.

Firstly, thanks to all my playing partners over the weekend.

Horizons was surprisingly good after tons of overnight rain. Playing partners Captain Nemo and Stuart147 were great company and we laughed a lot while chopping it up. We may also have set a "most putts by a group of three" record, even though the greens were really good.

I like Pacific Dunes, and I think the criticism is a bit unjustified. Hit good shots and you start liking the course. I hit lots of bad shots from the middle of fairways, but my playing partners Mr Bluu, Eca and Haystacks made me forget my bad ones very quickly. Even more laughs than Friday. Bluu needs to work on his driver throwing though. For once he missed the water with the driver, but it was close.

Even though I played awful, I enjoyed The Vintage more than the previous time I played it. I hit most of my bad shots to the right, except when there was a hazard to the left. My only real highlight was my up and down for par on 8 from a plugged lie in the edge of the greenside hazard. Playing partners Benno_R, KJ and Dotty were great company as always. By the end of the day I'd forgotten about KJ's shanked ïron for safetÿ off the first. I hope Bluu still has the video and posts it.

The after golf festivities were the stuff of legend. Some things I'll never forget, and others I'll probably only remember after reading about them in this thread. Special thanks to Peppas for organising the pizza, but I told you the family size would be too big for most of us. Did anyone take the leftovers home? There was surely too much leftovers even for a breakfast of champions.

Bluu is a born organiser and a great host. He did a wonderful job. He just needs to laugh a bit more, though.

Once upon a time I thought the quality of courses was an important factor in determining whether I should go to an Ozgolf champs event. While the courses this year were very good, it is the people who make these events great. Even if we held the NSW Champs at Glenmore and Wallacia I'd go if these guys were there. Thanks everybody.

My only decision now is to decide whether I can go five days without much sleep. I've done two separate three day events where hardly any sleep was enjoyed. I don't know whether there is a training regime for a challenge like that.

It's easy to be critical when you've never been in the situation but hopefully one day you too may understand how difficult it is to be humble when you win.

What's the point of winning if you can't stick it in people's faces?

Thank you

[Ferrins]

Well done crappy pants.

Now that I've had a chance to catch up on things a home, suppose it's my turn to do a bit of a write up.

First all thanks to our generous sponsors PureForm Golf (Paul Jenner) and www.shopaholicheaven.com.au (Ray - Lovegolf2012) for the generous prizes.

I would like to thanks all my playing partners Gammon, Matt3Jabby x 2, Eca, JDizzle, Haystacks x 2, Bemmo and Stu for some inspired, indifferent and incompetent golf (sometimes on the same hole), but most importantly for your company and the many jokes and laughs we shared. From Gammons constant groans from 28 cracked ribs, to Matt's crushing drives, Bemmo's colurful clubs, Stu determination to let me beat him on Sunday, Eca's sweet irons shaft and Haystack's advice and guidance around PD. Although I didn't play my best golf, I still had a great time on the course with you guys.

But most importantly, we had a better time off the course. Starting with a casual visit to Murray's Brewery and with Haystacks in charge of entertainment, we proceeded over the Newcastle via ferry and hit up a nice Craft Beer pub which had a nice homely feel to it....Now that "I think about it" some of them look like our own Ozgolfers, don't they Gammon!!!

Thanks to Peppas for organising the Pizzas!!

Thanks to all the guys for turning up and making it a great weekend.

Congratulations again to Billy Haystacks for being a desvered champion. Your clutch putting and a sneaky little chip it showed that was meant to be for you. You played the best golf all weekend by winning at your home track and doubling up with equal best score of the day at the Vintage. Also thanks mate for the tip on the accommodation!.

Thanks to SMS for organising our round at the Vintage and coming out for a couple of drinks and donating some prizes.
