EOI: Ozgolf VIC champs 2013 - Feb 15-18
Hey fellow southerners. Just putting a feeler out there for any interest in having a VIC champs. Obviously it's not going to be as big as some of the other states but I don't see why we can't get 15-20 people together if we get our thinking caps on and pool ideas. Reading the "fast greens" thread has got me hankering to play Buninyong again and there is also great courses in Midlands and Ballarat GC as well. So Ballarat was my first thought as it is fairly central to everyone. Of course there is always Melbourne too, which we all know has some fine courses we could get on to.
Let me know your thoughts.
Edited 27-09-12: OK, so it looks like down the coast for half and SE Melbourne for the other half. Propose to play Eastern GC or Settlers Run on Friday 15th with a lunch-time hitoff. Then onto St Andrews Beach for a lunch-time hitoff on Saturday. Sunday will be Moonah Legends from around 8:30 hitoff to allow the visitors time to get back to the airport if they don't want to stick around but they should as the Monday game will be at the beautiful Spring Valley.
Accomodation will be available on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights at andigolds hotel on St Kilda Rd near the city (sorry Andi, the name escapes me), and will get group accomodation down in Rye for the Saturday night.
Please note: This is the proposed plan. Very little has been actually booked so far, but thought I should update people as to where I'm at and what I'm looking at with the planning. If you believe you can help with any of these details or have anything better to offer please speak within the next 24 hours or forever hold your peace!
Love
Lefty

Times would be good to consider too. Maybe March which still has decent weather so we're not clashing with the WAnker champs or the real champs. (See what I did there...)

I'd be interested in coming down if a date can be organised early enough, so I can apply for leave?

Hmmm...
If we're gonna get interstaters here we may need to go Melbourne or either peninsula, Ballarat may be too hard to get to for some of them.
Late march for a proposed date? 16th - 17th or 23rd - 24th?

A Warrnambool / Port Fairy double would be awesome but just too hard for interstaters unless melbournites were very generous with car pooling. Peninsula could work.

Melbourne in march will be a night mare. The f1 is on the second weekend of march. Not that I would make it. Just putting it out there.

About 3.5 hours from Tullamarine airport, which most people would fly in to.

Yep, I'd be in for it. Especially, if it's somewhere on the peninsular!

I'd be fairly keen to get there. Selfishly, the Ballarat or Bellarine options would be less travel for me, but I can prob make it work on the other side if the bay, too.

This would motivate me to get a handicap again - I'm in
Wouldn't worry me where it was. It would be at least an overnighter anyways.

The only thing that worries me about heading to either Peninsula is the wind. Do we really want people to be battling it out in 40km/h + winds when they're hungover and really just there to have a good time? While the courses on both sides of Port Philip are great, the weather could be a deciding factor in where this gets played.

Depending on timing etc. I'd love to make the trip for this. I've enjoyed every Victorian golfing trip I've made so far.

Getting a nice interstate interest here...
Can I get a consensus; Should we avoid later in the year as that is when the traditional champs AND the WAnker champs are usually held, and asking someone to attend 2 or 3 of these in such short time span would be too much, so early next year would be the preferred date?

Interest here. Late feb ideal.
Would depend on the courses chosen for me, as I've played a few down there and would like something different.
