[LeftyHoges]

From 2018 Champs intro thread:

"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? "

Well, apparently we can. For ****s sake.

Our 2019 edition will be held in the always sunny Apple Isle!!!

Still a few little details to be shored up, but felt I should get the post out there as soon as possible to allow for booking of flights etc.

We already have a few who have tentatively signed up for this.

The only way I won't do it is if I am Vic Champ!

So, who wants another lap?

[Ferrins]

Going to have a round early on Friday at Tasmania GC if anyone else is keen. Was a member there once and compared to Royal Hobart it is more scenic and challenging but not as well maintained.

Looks nice. $50 if we get 12 to play.

33 days to go

count me in

Tasmania is a good layout but absolutely smothered in trees, don't be alarmed by the first hole it is one of the worst openings to a round anywhere

Huh! We're all potential members just having a trial hit before commiting.

That did work at RH for me and my mate.😎

[Ferrins]

At Tasmania the proshop opens at 8am so it's just a matter of paying as we swing back at the 6th tee. Going to call the office this morning to see if any coperate days are booked.

5 wood then easy 2 putt birdie or in the tres either side for a potential wipe.

Stapleford format comp, just us as all they have is a chook run in the arvo.
NTP on the 4 par 3's and Long Drive on the 16th.
Donation to Beyond Blue if you three putt the 18th. (as most people do, scary green!)
Suggest $10 comp fee
Tasmania GC shirt for winner
and a pint at Royal for all NTP's
any surplus to Beyond Blue

[Ferrins]

I will call the proshop this morning and try to book 12 for 6.30am. Will start a seperate thread for those interested.

Gonna be a big Friday. 36 holes and a 3 hour drive....

Just called Tasmania GC and no go as they have a trade day. Alternative is a funky 9 hole track at Pittwater. Was also a member there in the day. Very scenic as it is in a bird sanctuary and has a pretty good layout.

Pittwater Golf Club Inc. is situated at Midway Point, approximately 25km south-east of Hobart, Tasmania. The club features a picturesque nine hole golf course set along the shores of Orielton Lagoon, a RAMSAR wetland of international significance. The course is fully irrigated using recycled water, allowing for lush green fairways, tees and greens all year round. Our clubroom and bar facilities are open and operated by Club members on competition days. The course and facilities are also available for Corporate Days and to Affiliated Members. In addition, Pittwater welcomes other visitors, on payment of green fees, at times when social golf will not interfere with scheduled competitions. Green Fees (2019): $20 – all players, all ages, 9 or 18 holes

If we had time I would suggest Bothwell, but will be too far as its located in the Midlands

Updated spreadsheet attached, please review your details and let me know if anything is wrong, or fill in the blanks / reds if applicable.

If anyone is thinking about entering NOW is the time. As of next week I'll have to lock in numbers with Hobart Airport Travelodge for Thursday and Friday nights, so if you enter after that you'll have to make your own accomm arrangements. Won't be able to guarantee a room or our pricing.

Sunday night stayers: There are ony 12 of us, so I'm just going to find us a cheap and cheerful motel, no muss no fuss. Hope you're all cool with that. I'll update you with a price once I get it sorted.

Monday players: Confirmed for a 2 tee start from 7.30am, no veterans comp being held now, so we'll have basically free run of the course. Launceston GC have offered us a lunch pack for $15 consisting of a bottle of water, salad roll, muesli bar and a piece of fruit. I made the executive decision to say yes to these for everyone. If you don't like it, stiff noogies. Please also indicate Yes or No for a $5 pull cart for this day if you haven't already...

I think that is all for now, speak soon. Lots of luv,

Lefty.

No muss no fuss suits me fine.

I don’t need a pull buggy.

I’ll flick the balance to you today.

[Ferrins]

I'll decline that $5 pull.
