    Default VIC Champs - Birdie donations

    As most would already know, Champs attendees traditionally raise funds in various forms which go to Beyond Blue (and other charities). One of the formats that has been employed in the past (I think started by Virge) is performance-based donations, aka 'birdie money'. I'm committing to making a donation from every round of my Champs trip based on the following list, and I'd encourage others to do the same in the name of a great cause. If anyone else wants to get on board, add your name in here and denote if you want to participate in all 'fines' or just selected ones (for fear of bankruptcy). I'll keep a tally and collect the proceeds to go 'into the tin' at the end of the trip.
    • Birdies - $5 each
    • 3 putts - $1 each
    • Wipes - $1 each
    • Hitlers - $1 each
    • Club throws - $10 each
    • Shanks - $25 each

    Done and done.

    I did actually mean to encourage suggestions for other 'fines'.

    I’m in for all. Great value for money. I could (will) get a shank, hitler, 3 putt and wipe in the same hole and it’ll still cost me less than you flushers pay for a birdie!

    I'm in, and I encourage all to join. With a smaller field and possibly slightly better-contained calcutta we're gonna need extra cash from somewhere to fill those charity coffers.

    I changed the Shanks fine to $25 as a gee-up, but seeing as there's been no objection it looks like it'll stay.

    In that case I'll have to put a $50 cap per day, seeing as I'm averaging 2-3 per round.

    Default VIC Champs - Birdie donations

    Speaking of Donations, would there be any interest in taking part in a "Strategic Golf Challenge" across Sat/Sun?

    The Basic Gist is this:

    The entry fee is $15 (of which $5 goes in the tin) and the best cumulative Stableford score across a selection of holes takes the pot.

    The holes are either short par 4's or the short par 3's, giving everybody the chance to win.

    Lost Farm (Saturday)-

    3rd, 253m par 4- index 15
    4th, 112m par 3- index 11
    14th, 251m par 4- index 12
    18a, 113m par 3- index 20

    The Dunes (Sunday)

    4th, 254m par 4- index 17
    7th, 98m par 3- index 12
    12th, 238m par 4- index 14

    That's subjective.

    Nope. I'll wave in your direction across the Strait on Monday though.
