2013 Old Farts v Whippersnappers Venue Poll

[RichardC]

How about a forum team, in Turkey next May?
Any interest? I AM SERIOUS!!!!!!

BTW
Brocket Hall

Sounds interesting.
I have had to cancel my trip there this year, so may be up for this next year.

 

[full_throttle]

I've voted in the hope that there is room for me next year.

 

[Crow]

What format are we looking at?

I saw talk of two nights and three rounds, this gets a bit too expensive for me and I'd prefer one night and two rounds.

 

[Crow]

I know it's a late entry but what about Forest of Arden?

One so-so course, one excellent course and very centrally located.

 

[connor]

I've gone for St. Mellion as it looks stunning and the facilities look 1st class - but I'm good with Brocket too, but it wouldn't let me select two

I'm playin there for a weekend in a month today on both course so will write a review for you.

I picked st mellion as its nice to have one close to home for a change lol

I've voted in the hope that there is room for me next year.

There will be room for everybody, no limit on numbers. The only proviso is that we have even numbers so that we can make up fourball matches. I don't care if it's 32, 36, 40 or 44!!
:whoo:

If we go to Brocket Hall it will be one night, two rounds as per this year Nick.
But there will be an option to play the day before for those that want it. Either at Brocket Hall (if the rate is not too high) or maybe somewhere else locally to keep the price down.
But the actual event will be one night two rounds mate.

Voted for Brocket Hall.

And yes to either Turkey or Portugal - would prefer Portugal coz my arms ache when I fly further afield.

 

[PNWokingham]

I would say St Mellion as never been there but happy to play Brocket - only been once a few years ago (although we have a club match now that I have not played) and they are two really nice courses

 

[MadAdey]

LOL. I was in the middle of doing some paperwork at work that had to be done in CAPITALS. must have forgot to take the caps lock off....

 

[pokerjoke]

Im in, Brocket or St Mellion

 

[Deleted member 1418]

Hang on... are you now going to be considered an Old Fart next year?

What was coming out my 'arris Saturday evening certainly could be described as an old fart, so yes I probably am!!

 

[Essex_Stu]

Heard great things about St Mellion but Brocket Hall looks good and is a better location for most.

 

[Deleted member 1418]

LOL. I was in the middle of doing some paperwork at work that had to be done in CRAYONS.

Amended that for you mate........ :whoo:

 

[rickg]

Had to go with Brocket Hall as it is approx 2 miles from my house.........:whoo:

Got two great courses........get to go on a ferry accross the lake for the 18th, and for James, there is a famous dogging spot just down the road..............apparently........

 

[Yerman]

[HomerJSimpson]

Brocket for me. Too early for a definitive committment but I'm definitely interested

 

[connor]

Looks like we're going south
:fore:

[Leftie]

Dave

Last year, I thought you were thinking about Turkey for this year :mmm:

 

[Smiffy]

Looks like we're going south

It certainly does!
And going by the reviews, it will be worth it.

The Palmerston course is quoted as being very much like the Marquess course at Woburn. If it's anywhere near as good I'll also give it a bash on the Friday as well!
And playing it in June we'll get the course at it's tree lined best!
