    Default 2018 QLD Champs - Sept 2018 - Save the Date

    Howdy fellow Ozgolfers,

    It's that time of the year to announce the 2018 QLD champs, and for this years instalment, we invite you to the big smoke, capital of God's Country, Brisbane.

    Still a few more small details to iron out, but I figure it's time to drum up some interest...

    So for your chopping pleasure, I present the following courses:

    Thursday 13th September - Kooralbyn Valley CC: http://ramadaresortkooralbynvalley.com.au/golf/
    16 spots, 12:00am first group. Carts included. And since we like to hit the ground running, we are entered in the famous "Copperhead" Back Marker challenge.
    $75 inc cart and prize fee

    Friday 14th September - Royal Queensland GC: http://www.rqgolf.com.au/cms/welcome/
    28 Spots, 10:00am first group. Walking only. Also includes the terrifying 2-ball Banana Cup best ball multiplier
    $170 inc prize fee

    Saturday 15th September
    - Pacific Harbour GC: http://www.pacificharbourgolf.com.au/golf/
    28 spots, 11:45am first group. Carts, comp fee and pre-round burger included.
    CHAMPS Day 1
    $65 inc prize fee. $45/cart

    Sunday 16th September - Brookwater GC: http://brookwater.com.au/golf/
    28 Spots, 10:30pm first group. Carts Included.
    CHAMPS Day 2
    $125 inc cart and prize fee

    Monday 17th September - Royal Nudgee - North Course: http://www.nudgeegolf.com.au/welcome/
    16 Spots, 8:20am first group. Walking or Carts - 4 carts booked
    $45inc prize fee. $40/cart

    Accommodation details will be announced shortly, though we will be staying close to the city.

    Cash prizes available everyday, as well as balls for NTP's and Long Drives.

    Friday access will be first allocated to weekend players, though we may be able to jag a few extra spots if required. Numbers can be increased on other days if required.

    Hope to see you there!

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Also not a huge amount of green out of those bunkers depending on where the hole is.

    Desmond Muirhead. It is not what it originally was though. There were mounds at the back you could hit it into. And it had a sleeper wall around the green. There has always been a bail out option to the left (to the yellow tee), so it's not as dumbass as the floating green type ones. Plus that is off the back tees. Normal tees are a fair bit shorter.

    The last time I played the Copperhead, my ball carried the water but did not make the green. We presumed it was in the front bunker, but it had actually embedded into the mud face above water level. A drop for 3 and into the back bunker, and 2 putts for an easy 6 (nasty, nasty hole position). Even the lay up is no gimme 5, depending on where they put the pin. And if you survive that, then you have the 12th Green at RQ on Friday to bring back the Heebee Jeebees

    It is a tough bloody hole no doubt. The funny thing is, the worst I have had on that hole is a bogey.
    Wish I could say the same for the other holes

    OK brisbanites - are people going to be staying at home, or coming to the accom?

    I have some apartments lined up in west end - budget $55/night twin share, or $110 if you want a queen bed in your own room. Need to get an idea of numbers to book.
