Next years champs
May be next year if we get enough players the 1st round can be a shot gun start that way we all finish the 1st round at the same time and finish lunch at the same time it is not a big headache waiting for groups to come in to do the seeding shuffle.
That is my 2cents worth

Sounds like a good idea to me Dave.
Its not like we have to walk to far away tees since we have carts....works for me.

Or we could skip the whole seeded draw idea.

The only problem with the Sat/Sun,is that it takes a few out of the picture that can only make it fior the one day.
If we had used this this year Gaz would not have been our Champ.

Had another thought which goes with shavey's idea of contacting a resort or something. Firstly, if this was arranged could there be the possiblilty of paying for your share earlier in the year. This time of the year is always one of the most financially tight for me, and getting rid of the cost of it earlier would be an advantage. It would also more likely lock me in for it.
Secondly, if we went for this option my family would probably like to come. There'd be plenty for them to do while we're on the courses and for the saturday dinner we could arrange some bulk babysitting (if other partners/kids come) through the resort and clickchic could come out to the dinner too, which she'd love to do. Would be great if other family's came down too. Would make for one hell of a great weekend. I think this could work well with the saturday arvo 18/sunday morning 18 idea.
And this one is just for personal selfishness . Would there be any interest in moving the champs forward in the year. Dosen't have to be much. But this is one heck of a busy time of the year for me and it's pretty hard to find a spare day or 2 at the moment. I did say it was selfish.

Next year, anyone who doesn't get on the turps the night before, is handicapped an extra 5 strokes per round.
I think one thing we want to avoid next year with our timing is copping renovated greens for our Champs. All of us played in the same conditions, so there were no advantages, but it was still annoying.
I would still vote for the 36 holes in a day for next year. Can't expect everyone to stay overnight, due to family/business commitments.

Good point. I was just brainstorming (or brain farting, don't know)

Coolangatta Tweed had a shotgun start comp for their members on the day of the champs, and they do so quite often, pretty sure they did last year as well.
If there is one thing that a golf club loves is two shotguns in one day - no gaps to allow for.
