2018 VIC Champs, March 8-12 - Bellarine!!!!

[LeftyHoges]

Well, we're finally making it there. Through the shithole that is Geelong and out the other side!

The 2018 Victorian Championships will be held on the Bellarine Peninsula, and couldn't be more linksy if we tried! How do you feel about that Lefty?

Here are the nitty gritties thus far. Please note we are still unconfirmed for the Monday venue, we'll update with details as soon as possible but as this is only 4.5 months away I thought details should go out as soon as possible. Also note (SundayHack!) that this event has switched from early Feb to early March this year because of my inconvenient brother and his bloody wedding.

Accommodation
As we'll be down on the Bellarine all days it makes no sense to go to Andi's lovely place of residence. Thank you for all the years of service Andi, and we'll be back in 2019! So substituting in this year will be the Bellarine Lodge!
Price of accomm is the princely sum of....... $30 a night. 2 showers is a bit of a problem, but it just means that every morning if you see the shower free, jump in it!

So there you have it! You'll NEVER get a cheaper and more convenient VIC Champs weekend than this. Minimal movement from home base to courses, 4 top 100 golf courses (depending on which sites you use), maximum time lounging around on Saturday after the golf to shoot the shit and sink piss (cos, you know, what else are you going to do? Go into Geelong!?!?!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!)

It's about time we started cleaning up the riff-raff around here.

It's about time we started cleaning up the riff-raff around here.

Without the riff-raff, the Vic Champs would have less than 2 players.

Two less players??? Geez Dotty, thought you could count better than that, is that how your off 16 now????????

Less than 2 players, as in Courty would be the only one left, if Larry got rid of the riff raff.

How is Courty not counted in the riff-raff!?!?

The riff-raff is recorded on a spreadsheet. If Courty's not there, there is no spreadsheet, there is no riff-raff, this thread would be pointless.

I have seen Courty in action at these events and calling him Riff Raff is a compliment

Add me in for this please, Thursday to Monday for all golf, no carts or accom thanks.

Just after some flight advice - which airport is better for this? Thanks in advance.

[WBennett]

Hey Organising Team

I know we have had a putt off before, but how about a Putt Putt off? Maybe the great man, former Ozgolf Royalty Dickie Chambo, can grace us with his presence.

Its literally 1km down the road from our accommodation!

Impressive! I spotted the net (it is huge!) from the road a few days ago and was wondering what they were up to. Once they're up and going I'll give them a call and ask if they cater for midnight parties and find out if they object to somebody placing an empty can on the green to increase difficulty on the easy holes.

Quite a few possibilities though.

[Peppas]

Thank you gents... not sure if I missed it but what time should I be looking at if I was flying out Monday afternoon?

Jetstar has a 3:45, 5:35 and 8:35 to Sydney, with a tee off time around 7:30 you should be able to make it for any of those. It's about an hour and a bit from the course to the airport. They also have a 12:45pm, but I don't think you could make that comfortably.

[WBennett]

Larry, as you are local expert, how long from Queenscliff to the Ring Road?

I am trying to work out how long our drive home is going to take on the Monday...

I'd say it's about an hour and 20, maybe a fraction more if the traffic is up. The Ring Road itself can get pretty slow these days though - you will definitely want to be through it before 4pm because it will be a nightmare after that.
