2014 GSM Nov 21-23

[idgolfguy]

Created this thread as the 2014 GSM thread. As I don't have access to the EOI thread, it was easier to create an new one for us to keep track of the status as I will update it regularly.

Thinking about capping this event to 24 OZgolfers and 6 Vines members to keep the cost to $35/head for each round. At this stage about 3 members/reciprocal are Ozgolfers already. The other three members have played Ozgolf events previously.

I'd like to book this in as soon as possible as the playing slots are filling up early.

Accommodation
The Vines is in the Swan Valley region in WA. It is semi-rural with wineries and breweries as its primary tourist attractions. Ellenbrook is the nearest town (7 mins) with about 15,000 population and has major shops and restaurants. Perth city is 40 mins away. Accommodation will be at the Vines resort. We will be staying in groups of five in the chalets/apartments. Each unit has a Queen and four single-sized beds in three bedrooms. Each apartment is self-contained. Pool, squash and tennis courts are minutes walk from the apartment. The golf courses are minutes walk.

Apartment is fully self contained with two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, fridge, oven, dining, lounge with television, laundry with washing machine and dryer. The cost will be about $65/head/night. Buffet breakfast can be included for $25 more. There is a Cafe at the course that can make bacon and egg rolls etc.

All the breweries, wineries, Supagolf and restaurants and the usual fast-food outlets such as McD, KFC, HJs, Dominoes, Eagle Boys, Subway, Nandos etc. are about 10-15 min drive away.

Yea thanks Mububban, I'll be the only cockhead off 20+ now and your probably off less than that too.

[simmsy]

Doesn't have a cap

[bergsey]

Yea thanks Mububban, I'll be the only cockhead now

At least you won't be the only one of those .....

[Jackson]

Yea thanks Mububban, I'll be the only cockhead off 20+ now and your probably off less than that too.

I will probably be with ya shorty depending on slope ratings. Having to take about 3 months off golf with a stuffed back and will probably lose whatever golf game that I had.

[G.K]

Given my form of late which has been a string of played to 20+ scores, I will most likely be battling with you as we'll shorty, in terms of gross anyway. That is if I haven't given the game away before November, or at least be on a lengthy hiatus, both of which are a distinct possibility.

[Shortylook]

Excellent we can all wallow in each other's misery

[Mububban]

I got my cap at 18.6 and since then have only managed one superbly embarrassing completed comp round of 106 due to my bad back too Jackson. So I imagine the cap will go up not down whenever I'm able to get back on course.

You're probably right, it won't matter if I shoot 85 with a quad and 2 triples (which would happen) in stableford. It'll still be 40 points!

[idgolfguy]

SAF is being treated as a serious forum without all the porn, etc.

I'll do you guys a deal. I'll *retire* the ozgolf.net naga maxibon shirt I'm the proud owner of and replace it with a new SAF one. I don't have to wear it though. Deal.
