Any interest in a forum meet at Alyth?

[Deke]

Deke don't waist your money dude. Don't do prizes. Also get money up front if you need to pay for the tee times.

I am starting to think prizes might be a bit too much hassle now! Will sort out the rest tomorrow,dinnae think cash up front necassary?

No one will have any gripes about a fiver a head sweep being paid out on the day. If people want to donate a prize for nearest the pin or longest drive then that should be good enough.

Your day, you call.

OK, sadly I won't make the 21st as I'm nightshift.


Craigmillar Park. Without stirring up a hornets nest I was under the impression that the prizes were donated by Scott Gourlay which is what it said in the thread.

In the car park you specifically said to me £5 for the sweep and I know you said that as I turned to Del and said that's a bit steep as I was expecting a couple of squid a head!

Now as you say you forked out for some prizes which you never once indicated on the thread. That is fine by me and I'm happy to reimburse you for that outlay. If you had explained that on the day it would have saved this rearing its head on a forum. I appreciate it may have been worded wrongly at the time but you did specify sweep.

Its hardly worth getting the handbags out over.


Hope everyone enjoys the day at Alyth. Deke if possible would you treat me to a game next season at Alyth as it looks lovely on your website and I've never had the pleasure.

My pleasure mate,sorry you cant make it! :-(

 

[Deke]

I am honestly not that bothered about a sweep guys,if one of you want to run one feel free,I think donations would be sound for prizes and I will see what my pro wants to chuck in.No need for an extra fiver this way,save it for pints! Who has some spare prizes then? ;-)

 

[Val]

Deke apologies for this buddy but i'll need to call off, im at an outing the day before at Kingsacre which invloves oodles of booze too. I initially tinkered with doing both and driving to Kingsacre but Ive committed to the bus and have a few mates I aint seen in 12 months going so Kingsacre wins im afraid.

Maybe next time buddy, all the best :thup:

 

[Deke]

Fair do mate,have a good time! Maybe you can join Craw when he comes for a visit? I will post a head count soon,any more takers? Still need some kind donations for prizes!

 

[DelB]

Deke, I know that I can't make it along on the day, but I'd like to put up a dozen Titleist Velocity balls as a prize. Not entirely sure how to get them to you before the 21st, though.

That is super nice of you bud,shall I will PM you my address? I will pay for any postage mate,you are a gem sir!

 

[DelB]

I will PM you my address?

That's what to do mate, or text me it?

Cheers.

 

[Deke]

Txt sent mate,thanks again!

If its the only offer i'll get for a game then that company might just have to do

 

[munro007]

Crawford its not about the money, i didn't mind spending it on the prizes, i thought it was a nice thing to do. Like organising the day for only £18 for the round and a soup and a roll, and people are still moaning about that. I will say something, i won't be doing it again. And for someone who wasn't even there to comment the way he has, is out of order. I am sure if you ask the other guys, they will say i did mention about me buying the prizes, and the £5 was to go to wards them. Hay ho lesson learnt, never again..... Enjoy your day Deke.

 

[Val]

Ok Richard, why is it that those who have chosen to post have all confirmed what I said as true? These guys needed no prompting and decided to set the record straight, you got it wrong and thats it but unfortunately only you seem to agree with your side of the story.

If it wasnt about money then why didnt you pay the "sweep money" (your words) out as per normal sweep's. If you'd asked from the outset for donations then this debate wouldnt be happening.

Personally I couldnt give a monkeys, all I asked was if Deke was asking for money for prizes or running a sweep unlike what you apeared to do or not do as it turned out and you have come on here all defensive with conflicting info from the others who were there on the day.

I know you said you wont be doing it again, no bad thing really

 

[Deke]

Anyway,does anybody else have anything to contribute towards the prize fund? I am very grateful to all who can offer owt,cheers!

 

[FairwayDodger]

Deke, sorry can't make the 21st. Bummer.

 

[Deke]

Och,that is a shame FairwayDodger.You are welcome anytime regardless.Right I feel a headcount is in order!

 

[Deke]
