OZGOLF club championships

[Onewood]

I have an Idea of having an Ozgolf Club Champion (help needed)

Some of my thoughts

2 ozgolf members to play together for a score to be entered

Best 3 scores between now and Dec 25 [next year best 4 rounds]

Australia (world) wide

Starting May 1

What do you think

[Onewood]

Make sure you put in my 72 Gross, 39 points (68 nett) from last Sunday, I played with goughy and Iain

Thats a good score gotta have the other 2 scores to make it official

well played

Thanks mate...see the handicap??

Goughy - 24 points (sorry mate )
Iain - 33 points (played well on a new course after a lesson )

I thought there was discussion about a 36 hole Ozgolf Championships somewhere later in the year.

sounds good to me

where abouts

[jaster]

Sound's like a great idea, $10 in each for the nett and $10 for the gross, 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. Only problem will be choosing a time and location that atleast 20ish Ozgolfers can make it and where we can play uninterupted for 36 holes....unless you were thinking over 2 days...but this may limit a few people. Good idea though

[Jono]

How about Coolangatta-Tweed? We can play the West course in the morning comp, have lunch, and the get on the River course for a social round in the arvo. It should be quite easy to fit in 36 holes in one day if we take advantage of daylight savings later in the year. Then we can have a barbie and presentations afterwards.

With the GC airport close by, some of us from Sydney can fly up as well, giving the Ozgolf Cup an interstate flavour. I'm certainly keen as long as we get plenty of notice.

Hmmm.....I was thinking a smaller less busy course...only because a big group on a big course sticks out a little

We do want to stick out

Daylight savings sounds good, could stay the night and have that exmas get together at the same time

[Jarro]

i'll support the Cool/Tweed idea .... sounds cool

.. later in the year for sure

[BrisVegas]

Yep, Coolangatta Tweed is fine by me. I don't really mind where we go within 1-2 hours of Vegas.

Other alternatives I can think of....

Nudgee - North & South
Indro - West & East
Toowoomba - Middle Ridge & City (bit more complicated, but our founding fathers live there )
Lakelands & Palm Meadows (they're across the road from each other)
Sanctuary Cove - Palms & Pines (not sure what it costs to stay at the Hyatt though..)
Gainsborough Greens - sooo quiet, should be no dramas to play twice. Be cool to see the big hitters overpowering the place!

[Jarro]

sorry guys, Nudgee is out

i just phoned them and asked if we might be able to have our championships there sometime around the 31st October.... but they're booked pretty solid with comps on BOTH courses.

best we could do would be ahit at the South course in the am, then again later in the day

[Eag's]

Coolangatta Tweed sounds good to me guys
Give me the date and time and I will be there

[Jarro]

sorry guys, Nudgee is out

Thats a shame....he would have been a good shot at B Gade Champion !

a word of advice ..... best not to stir the big fella up until AFTER the championships are over

He has a habit of doing this. See AFL Trumpet Blowing thread for further evidence.

This sounds cool guys. So October 31? I'll pencil it in the diary, even thought it's the dog's birthday.

Sunshine Coast courses are an option too???

[Courty]

I'm definitely keen. As I've mentioned to a few of the boys, I have some frequent flyer points up my sleeve. With plenty of notice, I should be able to make it. I've started dropping hints to the missus already.

Sounds like a plan. I'll get onto that too.
