2015 QLD Champs – 29-31 May – Official Thread

[benno_r]

Time is upon us again for the famed OZgolf Qld Champs, and as the Barnum Brothers may have said, we are “taking the show on the road”!

The prestigous Duncan Bennett Memorial Trophy will again be up for grabs as golfers across the country compete to be Qld's top Ozgolfer.

Past Winners:
2004: Iain
2005: GazGolf
2006: DC68
2007: BrisVegas

2009: PeteThePilot
2010: Oxy

2015: Could it be YOU??

Accommodation:
Friday and Saturday night

http://www.coralcovegolfclub.com/resort
$320 for 2 nights in a villa (2br 1 bath - sleeps up to 4 - self contained) - That's a stella $40/night per person
$540 for 2 nights in a condo (3br 3bath - sleeps up to 7 – self contained) - That's also an awesome $39/night per person
There is a restaurant / tavern on site, as well as a pool, BBQ’s and tennis courts.

I have reserved 5 villas (20 people). If you want to share with less than a full quota, you are probably best booking another villa / condo yourself. Also, the accommodation is a 2 night deal, so cheap rates are valid only for the 2 night stay.

For those thinking of taking the family and want their own digs, resort can be contacted on 1800 356 722

I also have room for 8 at my place for those who want to break the return trip up Sunday night.

The Golf:
(All golf to be prebooked and includes fees for prizes (overall / NTP etc).)

Friday: One of Country Queensland’s finest: Maryborough golf club. We will be playing in the Friday Stableford Comp. 11:00am tee - 6 groups booked
http://www.maryboroughgolfclub.com/

$35 walking only (carts are all booked out).

Note: Maryborough is a 3hr from Brisbane Airport. We will be heading to Coral Cove after the round – approx. 90min

Saturday: Change of plans - Bargara may have forgotten this day was ladies club champs, but Rum City's finest - Bundaberg GC has stepped up to the challenge, and is going out of their way to look after us.
http://www.bundaberggolfclub.com.au/

Tee tee start - single stableford from 11:00am.

$40 + $17 ea for cart (optional).

Note: Bundaberg is approx. 4.5hrs from Brisbane Airport, and 20min from Coral Cove

Sunday: Did anybody say Par 6? We head to the home of the 2015 QLD Champs - Coral Cove Resort. approx 7:30am tee.
http://www.coralcovegolfclub.com/golf-course

Social round only:
$55 Inc compulsory cart for those staying onsite
$65 Inc compulsory cart for those not staying onsite

Monday: Not a lot of Monday comp rounds, but Royal Gympie and Cooroy are on the drive home, or the Sunshine Coast with its many courses is a small detour. I will get more information together pending interest. (Pay on the day)

NOTE: All golf to be prebooked and includes fees for prizes (overall / NTP etc). I will register interest below and deposit / payments paid early would be most appreciated. Some people may get cheaper rates for reciprocal etc, I will adjust accordingly ON THE DAY if applicable, and refund then.

Course ratings:
Maryborough GC – White Par 70, Scr 69, Slope 119
Bundaberg GC – White Par 71, Scr 69, Slope 118
Coral Cove – Blue Par 71, Scr 70, Slope 129

There's no chance we're getting there on time. You blokes might as well play as 2 groups of 4 and we'll sort ourselves out when we get there

[Ferrins]

I'm presently enjoying the roadworks atm

[Daves]

I'm presently enjoying the roadworks atm

Expect 15 minutes delay 40kms south of Maryborough. I also had the joy of a local who obviously thought it would be funny to drive into Maryborough at 30kph. The 50 cars stuck behind him probably didn't agree

[Peppas]

Its on!!

Did you wipe your ace hole?

[benno_r]

Did you wipe your ace hole?

2rds, 2.5 stableford average. You do the maths...

[Haystacks]

Did you wipe your ace hole?

I keep reading it and I giggle every time!

[Peppas]

Did you wipe your ace hole?

Yes, it was glorious!

[jimandr]

Bah. 17 is a piece of cake. I hit it to 5 ft and made an easy 2 a 4.

It was a highly enjoyable day, and the chat after was even more fun.

Maryborough is a nice course, but there are some quirky holes

A great day.

[Ferrins]

Was 16 a par 5?

[Ferrins]

Actually forget that.
