    Default 2017 Queensland Championships - Cairns

    Good day fellow Ozgolfers,

    Courty and I would like to welcome you to the 2017 Ozgolf Queensland championships in sunny Cairns.

    The prestigious Duncan Bennett Memorial Trophy will again be up for grabs as golfers across the country compete to be Qld's top Ozgolfer. Will you be able to defeat last years Champion, Backintheswing, and get your name on the converted trophy?

    Kicking off Friday 8th September, and finishing on Monday 11th September. Beat the southern cold weather, and come and join us in the sunny Cairns.

    Sunny Cairns you say? Well:
    Average September High: 28.7degC
    Average September Low: 18.7degC
    Mean Monthly Sunshine hours: 261hrs

    THE GOLF
    Friday: Cairns GC - http://www.cairnsgolfclub.com.au/

    Home course to the worlds largest selection of Solarmen. Looking to reprise ver2.0 of the famous 2-ball Banana cup.

    Golf: $31 Walking
    Cart: $35/cart
    Tee time: 12:00 noon first group
    Comp: Social round only

    Saturday: Palmer Sea Reef - http://www.palmergolf.com.au/cms/palmer-sea-reef/

    Coolum might have fake dinosaurs, but Sea Reef has real ones - stay out of the water and you'll be fine.

    Golf: $115
    Cart: compulsory (inc)
    Tee time: 11:15am first group
    Comp: $10 pay on the day

    QLD CHAMPS PUTTING COMP will also held prior to this round. Kicking off at 10:00am.

    Sunday: Paradise Palms - http://www.paradisepalms.com.au/golf

    A tough track for champs day 2 to sort the wheat from the chaff. Such a thorough test it has been said Lefty can't break 80 around here (though he has never played it on a Monday)

    Golf: $115
    Cart: compulsory (inc)
    Tee time: 09:00am first group
    Comp: $10 pay on the day

    Monday: Half Moon Bay GC - http://halfmoonbaygolf.com.au/

    A nice cruisy wind down close to the city on the Monday. Lefty normally score 200 birdies on a Monday, so as a group we should get at least 4.

    Golf: $40
    Cart: $30/cart
    Tee time: 07:30am first group
    Comp: Social round only

    We also will be looking for an informal locals-organised Thursday round. Please feel free to come and play with us. Pay on the day, nice and relaxed.

    I'm in. Richmond has reciprocals with Cairns. Twin share accommodation most likely Thur to Sun nights, and no carts where carts are optional.

    Please, thanks, excited!

    In for all the golf and anything else happening. Carts for me all the time if anyone else wants to share one.

    Solo for the accommodation.

    I'll request the organisers to ask about extra days either side at the Resort for me (wed and mon and tues nights). I've never been to Cairns, and it is quite possible that I'll never go there again (unless we have another Qld Champs in the rotation eventually), so I will make a proper holiday of it and have a sightseeing few days after.

    Bring on the warmish weather. Handicap farming starts now.

    Welcome aboard Jim, I will ask about the extra days, but I don't see an issue.

    Are you driving or flying? I lot of people in Bris might be keen to pay you the new Jetstar tax to courier the bags (I'd suspect)...

    I'd be looking at Virgin or Tiger. Just for fun I checked Thursday flights up from Sydney:
    Jetstar - $119 + $30 for 30kg + $25 golf club tax = $174
    Virgin - $159 inc 23kg
    Tiger - $129 + $33 for 25kg = $162

    Thanks for the heads up on the Jetstar golf club tax. It has been a while since I have traveled with clubs.
