We will need to find a few people who will take their own room (preferably . Please let me know your preferred option, preferred roomy if you want to share, or if you are happy to be randomly paired.


The Golf:

Saturday: Did anyone say swanky?? The jewel of the Noosa golfing world – Noosa Springs:

http://www.noosasprings.com.au/golf/

Use all the clubs in your bag here. The layout rewards shotmaking and strategic play – the Big Dog is not always the best option around the lakes here.

$115 inc cart, and egg and bacon muffin + coffee pre round.
An additional $7 (on the day) will see you in the open comp

Tee time is 11:00am first group.

Sunday: Bringing it home strong – one of the Sunshine Coast’s finest resort courses – Twin Waters GC

http://www.twinwatersgolfclub.com.au/

In my opinion, one of the Sunshine Coast’s “funnest” courses, in a really pleasant setting.

$100 inc cart, and burger and chips after the round
An additional $10 (on the day) will see you in the open comp

Tee time is 8:30am first group.

Jordan Spieth just called to say he is free that weekend and wants to play. He specifically asked to be paired with you Ben!

[PeteyD]

Shouldn't accom be Friday and Saturday?

All golf, both nights solo and no cart Friday thanks.

I would be ok with that, he seems like a nice guy.

[benno_r]

Done, done and done good sir!

[3Puttpete]

It's gonna be confusing if everyone uses BITS on the bank transfer. Good luck

[backintheswing]

I should get the whole weekend free and some.

[SundayHack]

Works burger with a side of shared accom thanks mate.

Annnnnd done! Welcome aboard.

[billp]

Will try and make Saturday and Sunday, will see if the family wants to come and arrange our own accomodation.

No problem mate, added with pencil.

As an option, there are other accommodation options at Coolum Beach club. We got a little discount, might be able to do the same for you if you call them.

[jimandr]

Works burger with a side of shared accom thanks mate.

Sunday would also like to know whether the Bundaberg Pizza Shop will deliver to the Coolum Beach Resort. He probably already knows whether the other place he rang last year delivers.

Benno, I'm a starter for everything, with carts I think. I was looking for a Solo Man picture to insert, but I lost interest, so I'll just say I'm a Solo Man for accommodation.

I'll gauge interest closer to the time, but if anyone wants to stay extra time and play somewhere else either Thursday or Monday I might be interested in that.

You're in Jim!

I would be keen at a crack at Maroochy River at some, either of those days might be a goer.

[SundayHack]

There is plenty of late night dinning options available in Coolum Jim. Already sussed it out

[PeteyD]

River on monday sounds tempting

[benno_r]

River on monday sounds tempting

Thinking the same, might book a couple of groups there on Monday just to hold a spot. I'll check tomorrow, and also suss out what it means for accommodation.

[jimandr]

River on monday sounds tempting

Is Monday a public holiday in Qld?

If so, we might be able to get a game in the comp, either at Maroochy River or somewhere else.

[damoocow]

Great organising yet again. I'm in - just have to decide if I play the Friday and stay 1 or 2 nights.

[wazamac]

I am slightly interested in coming up for your glorious champs. Will have to wait and see what the funds say after I come back from Overseas.
Looked at flight setc. and will probably bring the better half along as well, so will look at my own accom, cause we will be there for 5 days or so.

[Rascal]

I'm wanting to come but will just have to check funds.

That'd be awesome Waz! Love to have you up. Can either hook you up with your own apartment where we are, or happy if you organise your own.

[benno_r]

No worries mate, you're on the pencil list. Let me know if/when.

[benno_r]

OK lads, need to firm up numbers:

We had some interest from AndyP, Hux, Damoocow and Highballin. Would just like to follow that up.

We have also had some interest in people coming up from Brisbane on "day trips". Get a carpool together and come on up. All are welcome!
