It\u2019s that time of year at The Brisbane Golf Club where there are Honour Board events aplenty going on, the days are getting shorter, the greens quicker, and to quote the great John Snow\u2026Winter is coming! However, there is a bright side\u2026the\u00a0NVP Shootout<\/strong>\u00a0is back and it is bigger than ever!<\/p>\n

A quick refresher on this event for those new to us, or those that didn\u2019t take much notice of it last year:<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the day we start with 19 players all teeing off the first hole. It is a bit like herding cats down the fairway\u2026they go everywhere and don\u2019t listen to instruction. When the first hole is finished, the 2 worst\u00a0nett<\/strong>\u00a0scores have an early shower\u2026or continue to follow and heckle\/help. Every hole sees 2 players drop out so on the 9th<\/sup>\u00a0and final hole you are left with 3 remaining on the tee. If we have a tie on any hole with more than 2 players, there is a putt off to decide who stays.<\/p>\n

So, now that you are familiar with the concept, let\u2019s be reminded that last year Brett Weick took home the chocolates\u2026as well as $675 on his house account! That is a fairly good day out.<\/p>\n

I promised that the 2023 version of the\u00a0NVP Shootout<\/strong>\u00a0would be bigger, and thanks to our Sponsor Peter Walker, the winner of this year\u2019s event will walk away with\u00a0$1,350<\/strong>\u2026you heard correctly,\u00a0$1,350<\/strong>\u2026that is the maximum an amateur can win!!! Even though the prize money for the winner has increased, the cost of entry is still only\u00a0$25<\/strong>. Brisbane Golf Club will also add to the prize pool but the more people that enter means a bigger prize pool, so that even the first losers will earn more than their entry fee.<\/p>\n

Qualifying rounds will happen throughout the year with dates below and the Final will be played on Sunday December 3rd:<\/p>\n
