    Default NSW Matchplay 1st round

    Hi Everyone

    We have talked about trying to hold the 1st round matches at a common venue for those that can play their matches.
    How would trying to find a venue for it to be held on Feb 24 sound?
    Those not playing the matchplay could also play. Camden Lakeside & Riverside Oaks were mentioned, any other ideas of where and when to play.
    Don't worry if this does not fit everyone, those that can't play will just have to find a venue and place that fits and play it.

    So are we abandoning the idea of a 1st round Ozgolf day because not enough people can make it that day? Or is it because the venue is too expensive?

    If it's the former, then so be it. But if it's the latter, do we all feel that way? I agree that paying $88 for a round is a lot, but it's not something we do every weekend. We haven't had a large NSW Ozgolf day for a while and we can use this opportunity to invite new people, etc. I met some top blokes from the "other" forum when they held a game at Eastlake in January, so I can invite a few of them along as well.

    What do you think? Is $88 really too much to pay for a great day out?

    Jono - $88 is fine with me (us) - just let us know what date and we'll be there - zipptopp said something about the 24th or 25th which is cool.

    It was both Jono, I drive past Camden Lakeside regularly and it is not in the best condition due to the Drought so I feel $88 there is a waste of money. Camden Lakeside wanted me to pay for the day beforehand, I was not going to do that when there is history of no shows and people dropping out at hte last minute.
    In respect to the other reason, we only had 1 group confirmed.

    Riverside Oaks was in good condition when I played on 28 Dec and they will have kept it that way for the PGA. Its always good nick out there, I think they pump water up from the Hawkesbury river.

    I like the idea of Riverside Oaks. However, if it's too far for most people, Camden Lakeside is good also.

    Has someone rung RO? Burger, do you mind giving them a bell?

    I'll call a couple of guys from ISG and see if they are interested in coming along.

    I'm up for RO but can't do it on the 24/25.

    If another date suits everyone then I am in. If not good luck to everyone.

    I spoke to Riverside Oaks today, I was offered a group of 4 at 11:50am om Saturday February 24th. I have made a booking.
    If people want to join us on this day they can try to get a booking after us. As they take your credit card number for security I am not prepared to put up my money for anyone other than our group.
    I'll be away all next week so I would like to have this all tied down by this Friday.

    Hey everyone - from the south-west of Sydney - how long should it take us to get to Riverside Oaks (as I hear it's in the boonies)?

    Give yourself a little over an hour I reckon, although the motorways will have made the travel time shorter. Allow yourself to get lost atleast once out near Cattai/Pitt Town though

    Amanda, it's 1h15" from my house if you leave at 6am..

    You will need 1h35" from your house at around 9.30am.

    To refresh - is this Saturday 24th?

    Greens are being worked on at Gordon as I speak. Although TS isn't coming it might be worthwhile making the trip. How many are booked in the 2nd group?

    Please let me know which Grunt (Real or Current) I'm up against?

    I'm not keen with Mac Grange.

    I'm open to any course during the week. I can always invite you to Carnarvon, but that would be unfair on you.

    So what's the best way to get there - M4/M2? M5/M7/M2?
