Which champs should be the national title?

[sms316]

With numbers down at Pelican Waters this year, and a field which is more national at Perth, should the WA champs be considered the true OZgolf Championship?

[goughy]

Not really. Most states seem to be organising a major event now. So you could quite comfortably rotate the national title each year if you wanted to. If you wanted to keep it as the event which has the biggest number of participants then it seems it's pretty much gonna stay in Qld isn't it. I mean, this seems a lean year by Qld champs standards, yet it still will probably have the largest attendance. Maybe the leanness is coming from the other champs being organised and spreading the player pool around. But the qld champs was always the champs because it was the only one around. Now there's more. I say make the vic champs the national ones this season.

I voted for the qld champs in the poll because that's where I'm from, and it's highly likely I'll make it to another stats champs - I can barely make it to the local ones. But I think spreading the love is just fine.

And no, it doesn't matter. If someone is willing to go to the effort to organise, then I say give them all a chance.

With a good turnout, the Qld champs might warrant consideration for National Champs status again in a few years.

Hence, the smiley.

Our country tracks and staying at the RSL vs. what Vic. and Qld. are offering.

[KristianJ]

Indeed...but whilst they have the superior pool/billiard tables, we have the skill in our midst.

The Qld champs would have been played in better weather in May.

And with bunkers

Might be time to revisit this.

King Island in 2015 maybe someone can shoot better than 300?

[Coldtopper]

Both courses should be open. On neutral territory for all over 72 holes.

[Lucasto23]

72 hole champs would be awesome

[mrbluu]

[3Puttpete]

Three's in there. I thought we were only counting putts

[Coldtopper]

72 hole champs would be awesome

Cape Wickham and Ocean Sands over 72 holes a unified championship? May have some merit

Same, who cares ....... ? Ego thing is it?

In the past Qld always staked the claim that it was the national champs.

It is sad that this year's champs doesn't even have major status.

[sms316]

Would now be a good time to have another look at this?

The ACT make a good case for hosting the champs based on number of entries.
