  This would be a dream for me. How many hours in a plane fron Atlanta? Where do you fly into? How far from the airport are the courses? Are the courses together? Is Bill McBride signed up?

  Thanks,

  Anthony



Anthony, you'd have to get a flight from Atlanta to LA then it's a 15 hour flight, give or take, to Melbourne. From Melbourne you're looking at a very quick flight of less than an hour into Launceston. From there it's about a 90min drive to Barnbougle.

No worries, James. I'm having enough trouble getting you down to Deal! LOL. I am sure this will breed other events, any event will be better for having you in the field!

Cheers Scott, I'm working on a trip to Kent spring next year? And if I dont manage that then I'll probably never manage to head as far south as Aus? Mean time, we will need to get you to Burnham or the Midlands, perhaps a trip to the Peak District for your lovely lady?

Cheers,

James

ps Enjoy Baltray when you head to Ireland. Its a beauty!

Chris - that's too bad, sorry to hear it.

Eric - IMO, your wife is as welcome as any GCAer.

Trent - got your PM, cheers.

James - Burnham, Beau Desert and Woodhall Spa remain my three to play before the calendar hits 2010. Let's hope we can get one of them to come together, at least.

Some word now coming through on just how incredible The Lost Farm is likely to be:

Any more takers for this event?

Dates booked!!

The inaugural GCA BOOMERANG will be held at Barnbougle Dunes and The Lost Farm from Friday, March 4 - Sunday, March 6, 2011.

36 tee times for 90 holes over three days (Fri - 36, Sat - 36, Sun 18) and 18 double rooms for three nights (Thur, Fri, Sat) have been reserved for us by Barnbougle Dunes management without a deposit being required as yet. It is my plan to get depsoits rolling in early next year, but owing to Christmas being imminent, the current climate and length of time until this event, I was very grateful that we could lock this in without having to call for participants to pay any $$$ now.

Current prices plus 10% (to allow for any price increase) for three nights accommodation and five rounds of golf is:
Twin-share: AU$550
Quad-share: AU$450

A weekend main event allows for mid-week extra days at the other clubs people wish to see, which are mainly private and harder to access at weekends, when they run members' comps.


If you are keen and have not yet indicated that, please post here or PM me so you can be added to the list in the OP

16 months isn't enough notice?

Weather? Expect anything between mid-20s and low-40s.

Scott,
As I have said before, I am keen on making this trip, but I do have to jettison my 2010 US Open week long tickets to pay for it.

Would extend to NZ for ParaB, KC and KC.

I'd love to go, especially if other would join me for another another week or two on the mainland playing some of Australia's other "greats."

Count me in, pending developments over the next year and a half...

Kyle, there will be plenty of opportunities to see all the greats, and non-golf attractions aplenty (Uluru, Kakdu, the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Harbour...). Good to have you onboard.

Scott,
Thanks for confirming the date so early.  Airlines start taking reservations 330 days prior to travel date so I have a reminder on my calendar for April already.  Not sure how I'm going to do two weeks, but I plan to try.

Maybe Huckaby and I will finally get to play a round together.

Hi Scott,

I'm happy to try and get a NZ contingent over there so please mark me down.  Been to Barny twice now and just love the place.

Do you know if the accomodation will be at BD or LF?  My understanding is the operations are going to be separate...

Cheers,
Scott

Great news Scott, I'll add you.

At this stage the specifics of the TLF accommodation and dining are not known. They are expecting to have their own facilities by March 2011, but it's not set in stone. So we are booked at the BD accommodation for now, but the guy handling the bookings (who is aware of GCA and this thread, hi Gary!) is going to see what works best for us a bit closaer to the event.

Scott,

Still in...  You only live once and I'm not getting any younger.  Better spend it while I have it.

Where do we send the mula?

I'd like to pay now if at all possible.  At the rate the US dollar is freefalling ... I might have to exchange pesos for Aussie dollars.

Please advise.

Best,

Patrick

I'll play if Mayhugh comes the long way round and picks me up in the personnal jet, Laura will serve Kummel all the way if it swings the deal!!

As for Aussie beer their largest glass is a UK half and it drinks like their cricket team. Big fiesty pour, settles slowly with a touch of fizz, first sip is impressive, quickly goes flat and leaves an after taste!! xx.
