EOI - NSW Champs 2017

[mrbluu]

Guys just bouncing a few ideas around for times that would suit the most people for Ozgolf NSW Champs 2017. Keeping in mind I'm trying to keep a thought for other OzGolf Champs, Kids Sports, Pennants, Club Champs, School Holidays, Coring the greens etc. I've come up with the following options.

Please let me know which one would suit you better.

[mrbluu]

Open to suggestions on courses and locations

[Dangals]

you could always keep it in the city area itself

course suggestions: (In no particular order)
NSW, Royal Sydney, Australian, Lakes, Bonnie Doon, Avondale, Killara etc..

Surely you can wrangle some of those up for the 3-4 days

In August:
Kooindah / Magenta / Shelley Beach / Newcastle
Murwillumbah / Byron / Ocean Shores
The Australian x3 days...

Wouldn't lower myself to playing the Australian for three days mate. I'm told it's rubbish

I've voted "other" All those dates basically cover kids winter sports!

I've always thought mid to late October / Early Nov. Best dates as winter sports, footy season finishes and summer sports yet to pick up.

Riverside Oaks was a great accommodating venue that is kind of close to city... could tie it in with a Fri/Mon game on one of the better Sydney courses as Sydney courses in general just too difficult on weekends.

You could nearly do a 5 year rotation:
1. Mt Broughton
2. Bonville
3. Central Coast / newcastle, etc.
4. Murray
5. City-ish

then repeat?

Or even throw in Wollongong as another not to far away option for interstaters to fly and drive to: Wollongong, Port Kembla, ShellCove... or a little further Mollymook / Narooma / Merimbula - cheap options just a longer drive!

Just some random thoughts...

[Dotty]

Preferably the closer to Sydney, the better.
But that limits the Saturday game to Lucas Heights, Lynwood, The Springs or possibly Riverside Oaks.

The first one around Mittagong RSL was good.
Ditto last year, but substitute Horizons instead of the drive to the Vintage.

[wazandnic]

Yeah Hunter Valley another good option and should be separate to Central Coast

[Peppas]

I like Waz's suggestion

Does Waz have an umbrella?

Lynwood / Riverside x2 would be sweet.

[mrbluu]

As its a long way away no decisions have been made, but here are my thoughts/rabblings.

If I am organising it again (after this year, maybe everyone won't want me to), I would ideally like it to be around August/ early September so its warming up a little and we avoid the coring season and my club champs as well as other Ozgolf Champs. My first preference would be late March or early April, but this will cause a log jam of Ozgolf champs in the first half of the year.

Location wise I'm favouring closer to Sydney.

Waz totally agree with the winter sports things maybe you can off load the kids on the missus for one weekend. .

Here is all the things we need to take into consideration.

Jan and December are pretty much out as the are school holidays and ppl are generally pretty busy.

November has been SA Champs and by all accounts they want to continue with the tradition.

October is Club Champs for me, so I'm definitely out.

Feb/March is Vic Champs and Pennant Season.

April/September is coring season.

April/May is WA/QLD Champs

Not sure if I'm missing anything, but as you can see, the calender is pretty full!!!

[wazandnic]

I do indeed have a spare brollie!


And B, I do indeed off load on the missus on more than one weekend!
My issue stems as I am usually coach manager of older sons team and also manage my younger sons team, so not just about her looking after the kids casually for a weekend. Plus I already have one annual golf trip in June that sees me MIA plus at least 2 or 3 work trips... there lies the conundrum!

Booyah!

I know mate just giving him something to work towards

Wouldnt worry about clashing with other champs too much except vic.

If you had any idea how awesome the NT champs were, you wouldn't be saying that!

[3oneday]

You could also get a Saturday on Dunheved for an afternoon comp game.

[KristianJ]

Mid to late March just before daylight saving finishes, with the NW Sydney swing (except Stonecutters instead of Lynwood). The timing of TCC last year was perfect in terms of daylight hours.

Although south coast is very appealing...I'm thinking of doing this myself later in the year.

[Dangals]

if we are talking courses out this way like stonecutters, Riverside etc then I would add Twin Creeks to that list as well

[Captain Nemo]

Batemans Bay/mollymook hilltops..
If I'm playing I'd like to get out of town for a night or 2...

Hoping to do one interstate champs per year and the next one to be NSW. Prefer to be end of March and will be happy to play wherever you fine chaps see fit.
