Any interest in a forum meet at Alyth?

Everyone was told on the day, so whats with the catty comments, you don't know what you are talking about, so i suggest you get your fact right before coming on here and making out i ripped people off. Cheeky ...

If I might just pour a little cold water on the heat that's developing here. I was at Craigmillar Park and was asked for £5 'sweep money'. If it had been explained to everyone that it was money towards the prize fund, then no problem. As an aside, we were served soup and bread, not 'soup and sandwiches', but that's a whole other issue. :ears:

It's interesting to read that someone else must have thought it odd to have been asked for sweep money without it having then been paid back out.

Not causing trouble Richard, just stating a few facts.

I just thought a butter roll was a sandwich...you mean you can get other stuff on it aswell.

I was also thought the sky diver was for a sweep not that I had any chance of winning it.

Edit I am also checking availability for this one. Will confirm at weekend.

I never once asked for sweep money, i clearly told everyone i had bought prizes and it was towards them.

£18 for a round and soup and a roll, and your still not happy, are you having a laugh.

So why did no one mention anything at the time. Hmmmmmm

Maybe people were being too polite, strange that 2 confirm here that sweep money was asked for and others also have spoken about sweep money and only you seem to think sweep money means money for prizes.

I think you have to research what a sweep is.

I was at Craigmillar Park and I am sure I was in the winning team, I agree that it was slightly different to the norm but hey it was a good day, I was not bothered about winning anything I got the enjoyment of watching the three stoogies at the back hack their way round the golf course:rofl:

Deke, I would suggest that we all pay £5 per person and keep it to a sweep rather than a donation to pay for prizes. You can decide on an individual or a team format once you have the numbers confirmed.

Have to agree to disagree on this one I'm afraid. It was sweep money I was asked for and had no idea you bought prizes. I assumed (incorrectly) that the prizes were donated by pro as mentioned at start of the thread from day one.

Just a small misunderstanding and nothing to start throwing handbags at each other.

It was great days golf all round and I enjoyed it.

Spit it out Bomber, sweep money or money towards prizes asked for?

I reckon I probably know the answer :rofl:

Appreciate your work getting this together deke, hope your choice of date doesn't clash with my shifts fingers crossed pal.

Would anyone really object to chipping in a fiver to reimburse prizes I would be buying myself? Means better prizes no? Maybe an optional sweep and donation only prizes is the way to go? What can you spare then chaps?

Nae borra chief,we are long overdue a game! If you fancy a warm up next sun/mon give me a shout,I didn't get much gowf this last weekend as I was moving house !

 

[munro007]

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.
