    Well done Ron, I can only assume there was no late night stops on the way back to the accomodation ?

    I was up for it but not a lot of options in down this way. Although the Bridport Inn was unbelievably loose. When Toddy is the sensible one you know things are out of hand.

    Howdy Oz Golfers. I just thought I'd send a quick note and thank you. Appreciate the invitation to play at RH last Friday, even if I did get stiffed. You know when you play to your handicap for the first time in 6 months, score 37 points, come 3rd in the event and still never look like winning your match play - that something dodgy is going on!! I reckon Pete the pilot organised that.

    A few other things of note:
    - to the Queenslanders - no you cannot take our greens back with you. It serves you right for living in a climate that cannot take cool climate grasses
    - Jono - I think you need to work on your smash factor mate and dont be frightened to get both feet off the ground when hitting driver
    - On behalf of the club, thanks for choosing us to host the most significant even on the OZ golf calendar. Hopefully you all enjoyed the game and appreciated that we are part way through a process of improving our course. You have seen the results of the first stage which is significant widening of the playing corridors. When we started 5 years ago our fairways were 18m wide and the playing corridors were down to 30m in many places thanks to ill advised tree plantings form the 80's / 90's. We have taken out 300 blackwoods and over 350 radiata pines in the past 3 years.
    - Our next step is to implement the MP from Richard Chamberlain. Richard was selected because his plan was to work with the existing routing and vibe of the course whilst significantly improving the strategy. I'd like to say he's also a good bloke but you guys know better.

    I look forward to hosting you guys again in 5-6 years time when we have hopefully completed the works.

    Any feedback on your experiences at the club are greatly appreciated and will be passed on to the GM (pro shop, staff, course, conditioning, food and beverage etc).

    Finally it looks like you had a couple of nice days at Barnbougle - that place is magic and I suspect most of you will return there at the very least.

    cheers,
    Brummer

    Welcome aboard, Brummer.

    Thanks very much for the guided tour on Friday. Sorry about beating you on your home course. You were very unlucky to catch me on one of my (infrequent) better days away from my home course. I very much enjoyed your company and the course and would encourage you to join in any future OZgolf events.

    Default 2019 - The VIC Champs are being held WHERE!?!?! February 21-25, 2019

    As I board the next flight on my journey home I wanted to say another massive thank you to everyone that came this year.

    To Lefty and all his helpers that pulled this event together, you’re all superstars and I am certainly thankful for everything you do.

    I think we can all agree that the decision to venture down to Tassie for a year was a raging success. The quality of the weather for the entire trip, the outstanding quality of the courses we played and the exceptional group dynamics were second to none.

    Congratulations to all of the daily winners and of course the one and only Rob Burgundy who came home with a wet sail to pip Grumpy at the post (and in the process sort my deposit for the 2020 Vic Champs- cheers Ron).

    Massive thanks to all my drinking buddies. We had another wonderful showing from a large assortment of characters and it definitely made the trip as memorable as possible.

    Thanks to Courty for driving me and Lefty around most of the week. It’s always very much appreciated.

    Thanks to everyone one I played with and apologies for some of the substandard play.

    If you’ve never been to a Vic Champs I highly recommend you put it on your list. By all reports 2020 will be a doozy so lock it in Eddie and just come. You won’t regret it!!

    Until next time thanks everyone.

    This was my first full ozgolf champs.Have played a Sunday round and an UCW prior to this.I think I am starting to understand what the site is about,maybe.Had a great time,got to meet a bunch of good people,play a crap load of golf on Tassies best courses.To everyone I golfed with,thank you.To those I haven't,their is always next year.To Ferrins for taking me under his wing and giving me the lowdown on how things roll.He survived the backroad to Barny.To 3pp,giving a full rundown on THE RIP effect,it put everything into perspective.To much to go on about.

    Lefty,I would never have done a golf trip to Tassie of it wasn't for your efforts,thank you.And to everyone else who was involved in organising the UCW,Vic Champs,and all prizes and trophies,thank you.
    See you next year

    My turn...

    Thanks to lefty for organizing the event. This was my first Vic champs and I thoroughly enjoyed the golf in good company.

    Big thanks to all my playing partners who put up with my regular 3-4 putting and the occasional expletive. Arm lock putting ain’t for me.

    Shout out to Brummer, PTP and all the lovely crew at Royal Hobart. I felt very welcomed as a guest and really enjoyed the course. I reckon it’s gonna be an unsung gem once Richard has finished his MP.

    On to work now in Hobart for rest of the week. Hopefully I will see all of you in Adelaide in November for SA champs 2.0

    Landed back in Brisbane to rain glorious rain!

    What an awesome trip. The Vic Champs again exceeds all expectations. Thanks to Lefty and his band of helpers. Fantastic job once again.

    Congratulations to Ron Burgundy on his playoff win! Well played on all three days for you. Being NAGA was certainly inspiring for you.

    We really have a great bunch of people. My favourite boys golf trip of the year. Thanks to all for treating me like one of the boys and not making me feel like an intruder.

    Bring on 2020
