Hackers Heaven Golf Day number 2

[CalaisRider]

:) :rolleyes: :eek:

I was thinking of doing another Golf Day

Just gauging interest at this stage

Proposed Date - SUNDAY 1ST NOVEMBER 2009.

The day will comprise of a cruise up through Mt Tamborine, down through Mt Nathan, then on through Numinba Valley and left up to Springbrook. From Springbrook we will take the magically scenic and very twisty road down to Mudgeeraba. Boomerang Farm Golf Course is off this road just off to the left as you are approaching Mudgeeraba.

Depending on how much people are enjoying it, we can do 9 or 18 holes. With some lunch and refreshment at the clubhouse.



This time the Venue will be:

Boomerang Farm Golf Course

54a Johns Rd Mudgeeraba QLD 4213 - map

http://www.boomerangfarm.com.au

The Boomerang Farm Golf Course is away from the hustle and bustle. It’s unique and peaceful with kangaroos throughout the course
.
Located in the Gold Coast Hinterland with semi tropical surroundings and a variety of wildlife.

The course was originally a dairy farm before becoming a tourist attraction where people could throw boomerangs and experience other rural activities. Eleven years ago it became a golf course and it has continued to thrive in its sub tropical environment.

Enjoy the beauty of this golf course in the hinterland haven, 20 minutes from the beach. Come on out and enjoy the atmosphere then soak up the rustic charm of our licensed clubhouse built in 1902.


Hire clubs and pull or motorised buggies available.
Social groups discounts (16 or more players).



Length: Nine-hole course, 18 different tees. Men: 4750m (par 67); Women: 4338m (par 69).

Accessibility: Social play seven days a week. Motorised buggy hire. Licensed snack bar.

Overview: Lovely little nine-holer with an unusual local rule that applies a two-stroke penalty for hitting one of the many kangaroos on the course.

Pick of the bunch: 18th hole, one of the 3 par fives at 425m, bounded by a creek on one side a large lush trees on the other.

Plus there’s the 17th, a 146 metre par 3, elevated and bounded by pine trees on each side and a postage stamp sized green built into the side of a hill.

Location: 54A Springbrook Road, Mudgeeraba

Drive through Mudgeeraba, only a 20 minute trip inland from the coast, 5 km along the Springbrook Road turn right at the Boomerang Farm sign. You can't miss it!

Phone: 07 5530 5231

Boomerang Farm Golf Club is a semi-private golf course however limited opportunities exist for non-members to play.

9 hole golf course at Mudgeeraba just off Springbrook Road.

Open for bookings from visitors.

Children are not allowed on the course unless playing with their own set of clubs.

It is 100% confirmed for that date.

I would like to appoligise to all members whom where going to attand for the short notice.

Thank you.
Chris.

:mad:

I told the admin team at the time of my resignation that SOMEONE had to take control of this event. Seems my advice has not been adhered to.

Bottom line this event is CANCELLED - unless someone else wants to lead it.

i think there were alot of mabe's anyway Pete
Chris asked me about it friday night and i told him i was doubtful
as i had to many things to do , so as there was only 2 definates he decided it would be best to postpone
as it is now i probably would have made it , but 3 would not be a very good cruise

Hey all,

I have taken ownership of this event, and I have postponed it primarily because of the weather.

It will 100% go ahead on the 22nd and if the weather plays foul again, I will keep a contingency plan in place such as attending a driving range. Due to the time I had available to me to organise a contingency I had no alternative but to postpone.

I can promise you I did not want to postpone this event. I have been looking forward to it since it was posted up.

I will also be looking at making this event an ongoing event and from 2010, if participants are agreeable we might put some stakes up for a bit of fun and have a BCCC tournament that takes place over the whole year with a prize to the winner at the BCCC Charismas party in 2010.

I have given thought to how this could work and we would shear around the selection of course and dates. More than likely we would look at every 6 weeks and work it so as not to conflict the other BCCC events.
If anyone interested in this please let me know and also advise of a coarse that you would like to play on. Or if you like the above idea but have more to add please also let me know.

At the end of the day the Golf days will still be a group of friends out for a hit…but with a little incentive.

Maybe even look at a 6/12 pack at the end of each day to the winner.

I can either be PM'ed or contacted on 0400 520 232
Thanks
Chris.

Great concept Chris as it adds a bit of diversity to the club, and just a whack of fun. I would like to participate.

I broke my golf bag and buggy not long after the last Toowoomba hackers Day. Had it almost 40 years (since I was at school), same as most of the clubs I am using lol - so it has served it's time well. Time to see what is on the market relating to bags and buggy these days.
