    Default Favourite VIC Champs venue

    I've had some discussions recently with a few VIC Champs regulars about favourite venue, and have subsequently decided to throw it to the people. I've devised a 'March Madness' style knockout tournament to get this done:
    • I listed out all of the Thursday-Sunday official courses.
    • Due to some duplicates I was short a few, so I threw in a couple of the better-attended Monday venues and a special 'wild-card' to round it out to 32 courses.
    • They were then seeded based on their 2020 Top 100 ranking, with the unranked courses in random order.
    • I have a table with all of the matches which will be posted here shortly.
    I'll provide a link to a Strawpoll each day, which will end at 7pm the following night (I've allowed an extra day for the first poll). The first match will go a bit longer. The results will go up in this thread/ post, and the next link will be provided. I'll update this post with anything else I've forgotten.

    Now, the important stuff... your vote should be for your 'favourite' Champs venue. It has nothing to do with the best architecture or conditioning. The Top 100 rankings already does that for us.

    Which course invokes the best memories, where did you feel like you were in golfing heaven on earth, which course suited your game better, where did you have the most fun etc? That is the sort of thing you should consider in casting your vote.

    To jog some dusty memories, here is a quick summary of the courses and related info:

    I assume you say the same thing.
    Of course. And we all know you are an undercover agent for the north anyway.

    Late, 16 or 17. A par 5 where you crushed a drive up the right and it bounced into the centre bunker. Helicopter got stuck in your hand and went 50m (conservatively) back down the hill.

    Ah, 17, the par 5. Sure thing.

    Who the **** puts a bunker in the middle of the fairway where everything ****ing feeds into it. Probably the worst thing on that course.

    Well.. if you remember I hit it in the left semi and got there in two.

    Hit it in the ‘right’ spot.

    Exactly. Its great when they design bunkers in spots where I am unlikely to hit them.

    265m carry over the small pot bunker???? You beast.

    Of course you could have just laid up with a 255m drive, into a wide open fairway, and had 200m to the front. The strategy of the hole eluded you.

    Forward tees mate, no beast here.

    And I hit the thing so far up the right side of the fairway, it bounced about 2m from the right rough, past the bunker, and rolled all the way down the hill and back in.

    Strategy of the hole my ****ing arse.
