CHANGED LOCATION - NOW CAMDEN VALLEY, 8.30, 8.37, 8.44
While I am still surprised to have earned the right to organise the next stroke event - who would think 7 over would win - I am going to use my power responsibly, and give the majority a chance to influence the final date and venue.
I firmly believe we should aim for the June long weekend for two reasons. Firstly, there are three days in a row available. Secondly, social clubs often don't play on long weekends, so there is a better chance of getting a good block tee time.
If the majority votes for Saturday, my choice of venue will be The Springs, as I didn't play there last year. The new course near Wyong, Kooinda Waters, is a bit further away, but might be worth a thought. I think it opened this week.
If it is Sunday, there are a few choices. My choice may be Glenmore, but I'm open to suggestions.
If it is Monday, I favour one of the regular Monday Open Days. Either Castle Hill, Strathfield, or Liverpool. If Bonnie Doon has finished its renovations, I'd vote for it.
I'll enter the following Saturday as an option, just in case many of us are going away for the long weekend.
I'm available for all dates, and will vote accordingly. Once a trend appears, I'll work out a venue and make an enquiry about times and prices.
