2023 VIC Champs - TBD

[LeftyHoges]

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

OK, It's obviously early days, but I'm hearing some ground swell for Rub 'n' Tug. I think the Murray option could be a good one for version 11, as version 10 I'm keen (like most it seems) for the Full Service.

So in theory this could possibly look something like:

Thursday - Cranbourne GC - $100ish
Friday - Yarra Yarra - $250
Saturday - St Andrews Beach - $89
Sunday - Sorrento - ???, possibly around $120. May be a pipe dream anyway as Sorrento is notoriously tough to get on.
Alternate Sunday - The Dunes - $105 (though if this were to happen I'd probably try and swap for The Dunes Saturday & St Andrews Beach Sunday)
Monday - Rosebud Country Club North - $75

Accomm at around $40 per night is usually a decent ball park figure, plus prize money, as a ball park figure we're looking at $850ish for the full shebang...

Can easily swap Cranbourne out for Rosebud on Thursday, and sub in a cheapie like Devilbend on Monday to save $50-60....

Thoughts?

First option if Sorrento wants us sounds like a good welcome back to vic champs.

No Nash Old seems like an oversight.

You and me, secret Wednesday round? Part of me feels like I need to experience it for myself. Even if it is just for the famous lift.

Then you can answer the question:

Nash Old/HMB 10 round split.

And yet here we are...

What day is the Cups barefoot challenge??

Oooohhhhh, that lift baby!

That is a non-VIC Champs sanctioned event... If you want your 100m Euros Bryson, you're gonna have to break away from the Main Tour.

If you touch the 3 dots on the top right and select Web View- you can see the Google Sheet in Post #1 that has you at $400 in credit.

Change The Dunes to a 40°C Saturday and we have a good omen.

Sounds pretty good... Eagle Ridge another possible alternative for Thursday/ Monday?

Dammit, I'll bring my shoes then.

It would be a crime if it didn't get involved in a VIC Champs at some point, wouldn't it?

[3Puttpete]

Wouldn’t be the most heinous crime committed at a Vic Champs.

[BobsYourUncle]

Very good chance of me being in for this. Don't know the courses, so will follow the pack - but happy to pay for nice courses.

[Courty]

Don't know, I haven't played it yet. Can't be worse than that other polished turd in the Top 100, can it?

Get involved BYU, these trips are the best of times!

[LeftyHoges]

Only one way to find out.

Bruce's head will explode when we tell him that's the better value for money track.

[PeteyD]

Is it better than Capr Schank?

[Dcanto]

Dotty and I played nine holes at Eagle Ridge while we were waiting for the Uncivil War to wrap up at Vic.Id happily have a hit there again. Depending on dates count me in.
