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:
Flight Information:
Flying into Brisbane leaves drives as above.
Flying into Sunshine Coast - 2hrs to Maryborough, 3.5hrs to Coral Cove. Good option as cheap flights from Melb / Sydney
Flying into Hervey Bay - 30min to Maryborough, 1.5hrs to Coral Cove. Flights not as cheap. Direct to Brisbane or Sydney. Sydney times aren't golf freindly.

2. Deposits (min 20%) to be paid by end March. Remaining by end April. Late entries will be accepted pending availability.
3. All rounds for championship purposes will be scored as stableford.

I think going the full works might be a bit too much, with the amount of work travel I have now.

I just asked the missus if she wanted a family weekend away up there. She was interested until I mentioned I would be playing golf. I said "stuff you then, I'll go by myself".

Did you get it out before you hit the floor!

[benno_r]

Back from overseas.

Shazza has asked so I just have to wait and see how the funds look mid next month

Fingers crossed, be great to see you both there.

[benno_r]

We have the 9th green about 30m from the villas. I am sure a few car headlights could lead to a Saturday night putting championships.

[3Puttpete]

Meet me on the 9th green at 9. Dress nice

The 1st and 2nd greens are close too. Lots of quiet "reflection" time available @ 9pm Saturday night by the sounds of it.

[Ferrins]

Bloody hell spent the money again! $210 in cash is sich a good figure to blow on golf gear.

[benno_r]

Bumping this to the top guys. Have a few admin things to tidy up.

1. Have first payments of deposits for accommodation due shortly, so need everyone to make some form of deposit. I am thinking a minimum of $50. As per original post this was due end of March, so some deposits within the next week would be great.

2. Still waiting on a number of Full names, clubs and Golflink numbers.

Also, I have removed the condo option, and have held 5 villas (18/20 people depending on solo roomers).

Cheers,
Ben

I wondered what you were going on about as I thought we were playing Bargara. I like Bundaberg City better than Bargara anyway but haven't been there since all the townhouses have gone in.
I have never used reciprocal so have no idea how it works...

[Ferrins]

Usually means you won't have to bring your own toilet paper. Plus you only pay comp fee if full reciprocal.

[Daves]

Hi Benno, I am still trying to sort out some late breaking crinkles before I can confirm attendance. Will let you know as soon as I can.

Note to self: Get Trophy engraved!

OK Qld Ozgolfers, still plenty of spots for this. Support your championships, your regional courses, your local farmers, and children. Never forget the children.

My status is still the same unfortunately, Benno. I don't even know if I am still in the country or not.
