Who cares??? It will be a northern domination.

True. But it’s hardly a fair fight. Much like these blokes, the north are bringing lions to a dogfight.

[Captain Nemo]

Really disappointing but no doubt those that make the effort will be significantly rewarded with one of the best weeks of the year.
I'm looking forward to the entire trip- as Hack has mentioned its by far the BEST week on the calendar - but Port Fairy I"m especially excited about.

That and the Auction/Calcutta....

I’ll volunteer to run the birdie comp again this year. Instead of posting a seperate thread asking for nominations, this year I will be fleecing you of your money before you tee of on the first day. Don’t try and hide I’ll find you.

SH, just grab what you need, when I empty my wallet into the Calcutta kitty on Friday night.

p.s. Dotty for NAGA. Dropped from 14 to 10 in 2 months, and usual Sunday cart buddy Monsta can't outcrap me this year.

I’ll see you in the first group on Sunday Dotty. Only played 3 times since August and have scored 38, 31 and today 28 points. Trending into some peak 2018 NAGA form.

Place is great. And Christmases in a Cup on the deck (yes, they have a good one) while idiots go and play it a second time will be amazing.

And yet I've read some articles where people think Warrnambool is better? Going to be the best week.

Can you and Webster comment on pre- OCCM vs todays course?

We can hang out in first group.The drought has lead to some very good scores, and now down to 6.6 where I was closer to 9 in December...

Wbool is a decent course, but any such articles can be politely incinerated.

PF has never been an OCCM course. The course today owes much of its quality to the efforts of Mike Clayton and the late Bruce Grant. The other "OCM" personnel have had little to no invovlement.

This, but take out politely. Anyone who says Warrnambool is better is a dead set dropkick. Still nice, but not in same league.

Webster can say more to the current evolution of the master plan put in place over a decade ago, and the involvement of Clayton, but I can tell you the change in the course from my first playing in approximately 2000(ish) to today is first rate.

Was a nice track back then too, but the removal of excess ti-tree, pines and shiny-leaf to open the course up to the elements more, and strategic placings of marrum grass has been excellent. The course is far more visually spectacular than before.

I believe the only changes to the physical course that has been made in this time is the new tee on the par 3 15th (which is by comparison now an amazing hole), and the new elevated tee on the dogleg par 4 16th, which is ok but is nothing spectacular. Possibly a bunker here or there added or removed I may be missing.

There's a Tiger tee been added on the par 5 12th, but I'm not even sure that gets used more than a handful of times a year?

I remember reading something about changing the creek/drain on 18 into a more scottish style burn as well??

Tiger tee for the final of the Vic Champs???

Ah yes.

But meh. It doesn't do a lot.

Tiger tee for the final of the Vic Champs???

We certainly could, but I reckon that tee takes away from the hole, it's certainly nowhere near as picturesque from there.

...and I know how much you purists like your ocean views while you play...

Ocean views are very nice...

[LeftyHoges]

Chappy, AndyP and Johnno, how we all looking fellas? And updates?

Feelzy, you still alive bud? You still coming?

[AndyP]

Sorry, Lefty, there is no further clarity around my situation. What is your drop dead date for commitment?

[LeftyHoges]

Mid to late next week is probably the absolute cutoff I'd reckon we can do mate.

Okay. I understand. Sorry for stuffing you around. I will have had a few more shoulder physio sessions, and a specialist appointment for the pelvis by then, so I'll have a better idea by then.

[Peppas]

Any room for late starters? Will be able to confirm in the next few days hopefully if I can make it.
