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

Good plan. We'll get a travel buddies thread up sooner or later. Any ideas where you'll fly to?

[Davemason]

Benno

Good to see you have finaly got them out of SEQ and traveling north. I'll be right for accommodation but will play the Saturday and Sunday and may come down to Maryborough on the Friday if I can get it off.

I'll even see if I can get a better deal at Coral Cove.

Too easy mate. I'll put you down for weekend only.

I'll drop you a PM, there is a couple of things to discuss.

[Peppas]

Ok any other sydney guys heading to this?

I am looking at flying up Thursday arvo or evening, and back Sunday night.

[KristianJ]

I confirmed my attendance to Ben via PM last week but not in the thread.

We can discuss any arrangements over this weekend, but I was planning similar travel arrangements (not sure where I'll be flying into though).

Ok chat over the weekend. Or I'll send you an email with the flights I'm looking at...

[Peppas]

Will any of the brisbaners be heading back on Sunday and have room to drop me and maybe KJ off at sunshine coast airport?

[3Puttpete]

Extremely unlikely

[KristianJ]

I may do the Monday run, Pep. Happy to add an extra day on to make hitching a ride easier...

But I was thinking a Thur flight to Sunshine Coast as well.

[Lucasto23]

Tony I would be able to help out

[benno_r]

KJ, if you and Peps can coordinate, I can come and get you both from Sunshine Coast.

If you can jag a lift back to Sunshine Coast or Brisbane, should save you a hire car.

[Peppas]

Ok I can fly out of either airport I think Sunday if anyone wants some company for the drive back.

Throw on some horses on the radio and you might get some singing. Just saying. That's gotta make the drive thru gympie and the g spot that much better?

[KristianJ]

Super...we'll sort out the flight on the weekend.

And yes for Sat cart please.

[SundayHack]

I will be going down to the coast. Unsure yet if I will be going Sunday arvo or early Monday morning though

[Peppas]

Jetstar sale on at the moment so I plan on booking my flight up tonight

If I can work out what I am doing for the Sunday I'll book that flight too, though doesnt look like the sale price applies to that flight...

[KristianJ]

I was planning to fly into Maroochydore but with Virgin Happy Hour I'll book a Thur flight into Brisbane (still undecided where and when I'll fly out).

Is anyone heading up on Thur arvo that I can snag a ride with?

Haven't had any requests for Thursday accommodation for any brissie guys. What time are you planning to get into Brisbane?
