    Default Champs courses used and potential to use?

    Have been trying to remember which golf courses we have now used over the last 3 years for Champs rounds, (actual Champs and supports that is)

    This is what I have come up with:

    RoyaL Adelaide GC
    Kooyonga GC
    Links Lady Bay
    Gawler GC
    Victor Harbor
    Glenelg GC
    Tanunda Pines GC
    The Vines
    Blackwood (a Thursday round only I believe!?)
    Fleurieu/Mt Compass (Monday round in 2014!?)

    Any I have missed?

    Also, suggestions for potential courses to consider for 2017, (could probably get Blackwood for the Friday/Kitchener Cup!?) The Saturday Champs round is the hardest one to arrange ....... ! (as going by the poll a 2-day event for the Champs is preferred)

    Fire away folks.

    Being only last week im still recovering from the whole champs weekend, but at this very premature stage my index finger suggests:

    Friday: Blackwood
    Saturday: Fleurieu
    Sunday: RA
    Monday: Kooey

    Thursday: to be organised based on EOI only: with numbers we could potentially secure another tier 1 (glenelg or grange) so it will come down to who participates and their willingness to pay

    I don't think you have missed any Nadg. Not a bad effort considering how few of those rounds you actually played. No excuses next year, I hope.

    I wouldn't argue with TC's early assessment, course availability permitting.

    I thought RA was going to be difficult this year?

    Also there was some talk about the possibility of a twilight round 3pm-ish on a tier 1 on the Sat - would that be possible through our contacts?

    Another course that came up in discussion for the Thurs warm up round was Mt Osmond for something different

    You haven't missed any Nadg63.

    TC's line up is a good one.

    Other courses to consider:
    Flagstaff Hill
    Mount Osmond (as much as I don't like it other most likely will)
    Tea Tree Gully
    Holdfast Shores
    Nuriootpa
    If you want some good atmosphere and a very cheap round on the Saturday my home club Kapunda.

    You missed Glenelg, which was the 2nd Monday round last year

    RA should be ok, but once again it all comes down to numbers. Peter noted he will support the event provided it does not clash with any other of his commitments. Hopefully Tim can play next year so that there alone is a few spots. We also have James to call on if required. Plus if we need to 'scrape the barrel' with other members im sure we can go down that path but only if required (might cost me a few expensive bottles of red).

    Sunday at another tier 1 sounds easier said than done IMHO. Both Glenelg and Grange are much busier clubs than RA. Kooyonga I will leave Chilled to comment on but assume it is in the same light. Glenelg could be an option with numbers as they are very heavy on advertising at the moment for corporate events but more than likely will push a midweek event.

    Quite happy to play MO on Thursday - quite close to the city as well so easy for interstate visitors to get to. Bear in mind the 27 hole event at Tanunda last year went really well as it coincide with the Twilight event that included a dinner and a local comp.

    To be totally honest, besides the knee issue there is also the general lack of interest in playing - too much golf in quick succession for me. Happy to organise, lets leave it at that.

    RAGC not written off yet, could be ways and means

    I suggest we then pick a Northern course for the Friday round to avoid last years logistical nightmare (Tanunda / Victor / Gawler)

    Interstaters could stay in the Barossa Valley - not a bad changeup

    I played 9 holes of Barossa GC last year, a solid little track. Easily do a Friday round there with Tanunda Saturday.

    Sounds like to me that we need a serious discussion/ decision making over a schnitzel after playing Kenton Valley.

    Yes to this.
    S.A OzGolf Decembers round at Kenton Valley sounds like a great idea.
    Will be a good feeler for a fun pre-champs Thursday round maybe?
