Hey M,
I’m in for the 1-6. Looking forward to it.1 user liked this post.
Good thing is that I can cancel at any time if great bargains pop up
It’s also possible that if the shackles come off in Oz but international travel remains risky that people will flood out for holidays locally and prices will head up so we will see
Easy to cancel if I need to
I think we are still adjusting to the new “norm” and live will continue on. Air travel is still relatively safe, though depends on who you sit next too. Take a window seat is the safest sport but dont lick the glass!
People will want to get out as safe as possible and will travel locally.
There’s a lot of economic and financial disruption spreading … I doubt the majority of people will have $$$ to afford to travel.
SO many businesses telling staff they’ll be off on unpaid leave once any annual leave us used up. I’ve know of:
– mid size Accounting firm in Brisbane closing at end of this week until 30 June.
– private school told teachers yesterday they only have money for two more pay periods because people have stopped paying school fees.
– several large construction companies looking at appointment of administrator, not paying sunnies because developer has not paid them.
– retail businesses looking to close up. Trading was already tough and they are behind on rent. Landlords sending default notices, so shops looking to close up and walk away.
– cafe’s, restaurants and clubs with big drops in customers even before the new 100 person limits. Staff hours being slashed and or people just not getting shifts.
– couple of events hire businesses and catering businesses in big trouble after events cancelled. Being sued by suppliers but event not paying them because it was cancelled.
If you saw the health management charts to flatten the curve, you’ll see they have peak in August. We got a long way to go and a lot of people, businesses, just don’t have the cash to trade through.
Don’t mean to be doom and gloom, but, reality is hitting bloody hard out there. That’s before the impact of the health crisis even hits us.
By the time you realise this part of my signature doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Totally appreciate what is happening and it will get worse before better. It’s too early for us to pull the pin on this event and add to the above issues continuing. There are employees at teh venues we are playing taht if all events pulled out now- will be impacted.
We need to keep things as ‘normal’ as possible for the time being, let people having something positive to look forward to (hopefully not positive for the virus!) and the committee will review status as we get closer or for when people would need to commit. I would say this is the July timeframe at earliest but we are monitoring status each day and will decide when time is right. Airlines may be shut by then or lack flights etc.
If circumstances are still volatile and group gatherings still a no go or the group members decide they dont want to attend we will have no choice on the decision.
Outside of some paying for flights already there are no other payment commitments before 31 July ie Early Bird
PS I used to have a clause in the T/C’s on the former site that anyone that is not registered to play in this event cant comment about the event. I may need to reimpose that!;)

So, I can put my name down, comment away and then pull out (blaming the corona-virus recession)?

What’s your usual excuse for pulling out?
Put me down for days 3 – 6 at this stage. Hopefully a lot of things will be sorted by then.

Sure you can, but also remember that we get bombarded by the media every day with what is going on and their spin is generally a little more vociferous otherwise what they have to tell us is mundane. Even though you say you don’t wish to express Doom & Gloom, unfortunately that is exactly what is perceived. Although there are not many positives with this thing it is better to hear about them rather than the constant negatives, we get enough of that already. I would rather hear that you and the caddie are doing fine rather than the sky is going to fall if things don’t change.
Nah mate, just a struggling lefty from QLD. Looking forward to this trip though.
Struggling lefty…that will do me. If you are struggling I may as well not go.
I’m never satisfied with my golf, come on single figures god dammit
