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

2009: PeteThePilot

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.

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

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.

Sounds stoopid. Why would anyone want to play a par 6?

Sounds stoopid. Why would anyone want to play a par 6?

So you can write down 8/2 on your card mate.

3 Effective woods for the stats sheet?

[AndyP]

How's the serenity?
The sizzling bacon smells good too.

[Peppas]

Why's there so many trees???????

[Shane788]

Looks like AndyP failed dismally in his bid to win best beard.

[timah!]

NAAAGAAAA ferrins

Tonne of trees, hard and elevated greens, and general level of suckiness were the contributing factors today.

Groups will be as above (group in 4s) from the top. 1st group off at 7:30 am. See you all there tomorrow. Elevated greens and all...

[jimandr]

Highest bucket hat count ever

Bucket hats are the new black.

I will let Benno do the full scores and write up, but the bucket hat helped me record the best score of a choking 36 points today. I had a purple patch early in the round where the magic 3 hybrid gave me 3 short birdie chances. Only one bird but it meant I could limp home and still have a good score.

Lots and lots of laughs with playing partners AndyP, Nudgee and Lagerlover.

Thanks go to Benno_r for top class organising so far.

[LarryLong]

Nice work Jim.

Can he back it up?

[Peppas]

Nice work Jim.

Can he back it up?

Depends on what lager and 3pp do to him tonight

[benno_r]

Epic twighlight putting comp completed, final 2 were Pete_rs and Peppas. Best of three up the hill from 70ft.

Peppas took the early lead on the first try lagging it up to 4ft. Pete_RS came back with a stunning hole out on the 2nd round, that if it hadn't rattled the flag would probably be half way to NZ right now.

The final effort saw Pete throw up an insipid effort that Peppas easily beat.

2-1 to the 2015 QLD putting champion, Peppas!

[Shane788]

Go Peppas!!! :P

[Shane788]

Road trip home with me peps!
