    Default 2023 VIC Champs - TBD

    Alright, time to get serious about this shit again. I know Victoria feels like its own country these days, but if we can travel internationally by July, surely we can get in and out of Victoria in Feb 2023. Double / Triple / Quadruple / Boosted Vax will be a requirement, lets get that shit out of the way first.

    So just as a discussion point on that, I'm in two minds. The full shebang as previously discussed (if the proposed clubs are amenable to it), the big one with 2 x Peninsula-Kingswood (North and South) and another premo sandbelt for the Friday like Yarra Yarra, Cranbourne GC on the Thursday or Monday and a cheap and cheerful track for the other Thursday or Monday. This'll be a costly exercise with the trip being around $1200 from whoa to go. Then peple obviously have their flights, meals, drinks, hire cars etc on top of that.

    Another option is to save that for the 10th instalment as a big hoopla, and find somewhere cheaper in between, like a trip up to the Murray River (probably Echuca-Moama and the Rich River Resort). Have done a small amount of research on this and I feel like we could play 5 days on the Murray for around the $600-700 mark. That way if something goes horribly wrong and for some reason we can't get back deposits / full payments etc people haven't outlaid a metric ****tonne of cash.

    Or we can look at a third option with trying to get Pen North or South for the Uncivil War Friday this year, then do the other next year, with a return to possibly the Mornington to replay StAB, The Dunes, maybe Moonah Legends, Portsea, try our hardest to get onto Sorrento, something like that.

    Just a discussion point, but obviously the sooner we make our minds up the sooner people can start saving the required amounts of cash, and we can more easily make bookings.

    I know some of you will say "in for whatever" (and the first one that does I'm charging them double), but please don't as it doesn't help in making a committed decision. That's MY protocol. I genuinely would like people to state what they want from those three options.

    Have at it ladies and gents, and you can officially get excited again.

    ALL TBD

    Average of 28 points coming up...

    But it'll be a happy 28.

    We've done Moonah Legends, and I didn't think much of the track (and I believe for once most agreed with me).

    And the mass reviews say the other track is stoopid. Not high on my list.

    For the last couple of years I've wanted to "Tarantino" this thing, ie. Just get to 10 and see where we go from there. This'll be 9...

    We've had some small double ups here and there (Spring Valley, Woodlands, St Andrews Beach I believe are the only ones) and we've done pretty well to avoid more, but we will hit critical mass at some point....

    10th anniversary I'd like to try and get all freshies somewhere, and then we go in to double up mode.

    I guess the other option we can explore is splitting Pen North and South over two years and have them as Uncivil War Friday venues?

    Would obviously have to check with the club, but if that gets the support of the masses we can explore that...

    As long as we have a common area that we can use after 11pm.

    Just organise the weekend and I'll be there.
    Enough buffer in my Calcutta budget to divert to accommodation.

    Or sign up for a breakaway Gippsland champs.

    Getting 6-10 groups onto a top 40 course on a Saturday and close to accommodation doesn't come cheap.

    I'd gladly pay an extra $100 not to play the likes of Yering Meadows.

    Turn it up Nemo. Elitist?! What’s the entry fee at your club again?
    Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become a Masters champion..... It looks like a mirac.. It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

    That sounds like a good idea, and might be better for accommodating our Saturday night rowdiness.

    I'm going to try to attend this. Price/location doesn't really bother me - my biggest issue will be the leave pass

    You’ve got 11 months to convince her to leave. It’s worth it

    Assuming Corona settles before then, I get back from the Disney misadventures on the 14th. I have leave approved for the following weekend now, 18-22, as well. So as long as it stays that weekend or later, I am in.

    The PGA Tour has suspended all tournaments - including the Players' Championships - in an attempt to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Rory McIlroy had stated on Thursday that he believed the best course of action was to join any scheduled OZgolf competition.

    “I was more worried about what other people would think rather than, you know, me. But you have got to do what is right for yourself and what you feel comfortable with.” Rory McIlroy
