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
2008: Davemason
2009: PeteThePilot
2010: Oxy
2011: Nudgee
2012: Ferrins
2013: Marto65
2014: DaveS
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


Additional Information:

[3Puttpete]

I'll have one with the lot.

Possible mrs and kid with me but that's pretty unlikely.

[Jarro]

Does the winner of these country QLD Champs get an exemption into the real QLD champs?

Not a fan of QLD country courses Jack ?

Probably better than Nudgee though.

[Jarro]

Gee, didn't see that one coming.

Most things go over your head

Come and play Jack, you might actually enjoy yourself.

[Webster]

Are you going Jarro? I might be tempted if your were going to show up. Long way for me to go though.

[Jarro]

Not your sparkling wit

[Jarro]

Possibly.

I'd have to wait a while longer to commit though... Not sure if I'm working that weekend or not.

[Shane788]

Dibs on Shane's spare rickshaw buggy too

All good man, I'm in for fri-sun no accommodation

[backintheswing]

Early to bed each night. You will be the fav!

[benno_r]

He already is, with you out and his course knowledge....

[Webster]

Possibly.

Bit easier for you to get to than me Jarro, although it still 4.5 hours from Brisbane and 4.5 hours home on Sunday for you.

I think I'll wait until the QLD champs come back to the Gold Coast and there's a good sized field again - much easier for interstaters to get to. I really enjoyed the 08 champs when I came up.

[BUSHY]

DAMN!!! I get back from Scotland on the 31st. Spewing.

Not as much as I did.

Welcome aboard Mr Ferrins, glad you could join us.

[Ferrins]

It's about time someone won it twice

[benno_r]

Big call! It's Davemason's home track.

[jimandr]

I'll have one with the lot.

So will I.

I'm not a very good room sharer (I could snore for Australia) so I might be prepared to pay double and get a room in a villa to myself. There is plenty of time to discuss this and other options closer to the time.

You've done very well with this project in a short time Benno. Excellent work.

Thank you sir, welcome aboard!

Team - I have just received word from my bank that the account I gave you will not accept deposits from Random accounts.

Believe this only affects a couple of people - sorry about that.

New details updated.

[billp]

Benno, send me payment details and I will talk to the wife tonight and see if we can make a weekend of this. Friday, Saturday and Sunday for me.

Details are in the spoiler bar mate in the first post.

And, of course, welcome aboard!!

[PeteyD]

Accommodation is booked. Apparently I got the only 2 bed condo they have. Still have 3 x 3 Bed condos. Will fix payment once the other one bounces back.
