April 29th Linconshire meet.

[ScienceBoy]

Really don't fancy Immingham, been there once and was a bit underwhelmed tbh!

It does have three or so very good holes but you are right, not an 18 I want to go to on my holiday as its not as good as other courses in the area. Both Grimsby and Rasen sound good choices!

If we go to Market Rasen we will drive by my old school!

what happened to my reply its vanished

 

[grumpyjock]

try for the third time
This looks like a firm date then
We shall do Grimsby in the morning and Normanby hall in the afternoon.
Change partners and have a second game.
All those in for it raise your hands and be counted

Science boy has been on to the pro and we are set for go.
"OK - spoke to the Grimsby club Pro and he will hold a couple of tee offs at 8.00 and 8.10 for us on the 29th April. I just need to confirm things to him a couple of weeks ahead of the day."

Prices - normally a member can only sign in 3 people but having explained the day to him he is going to let me sign in everyone and get the members guest rate of £16.50 each.

Just need the final numbers and times and we are sorted.

 

[viscount17]

looks like a 5.00 am start for me!

 

[grumpyjock]

well im setting off at 6 so i'll be up at 5.
makes a long day but worth it for the match.

 

[ScienceBoy]

HickoryShaft has been on to the pro and we are set for go.

Wrong one corrected for you, do all us grimsby lads look alike?

Wel am frum scaffa, dunobout hikory but ams bettin he is from nunnsforp

 

[HickoryShaft]

Scaffa boy here as well

 

[grumpyjock]

ko that was because changing from 1 thread to another confusses me.
just need phil to confirm Normanby hall
and we are all set.

 

[Whereditgo]

Have provisionally booked 14:00 and 14:08 at Normanby. The thoughts being that would give us time to get round Grimsby, travel to Normanby and grab some lunch.

The pro wasn't in today so I couldn't sort a deal on green fee's, I will have a chat with him on Friday, ditto the caterers

 

[GB72]

Count me in as a definite.

 

[viscount17]

+1

(HID's given me a free pass to golf all the May bank holiday weekend
So Friday fixed, Sat - tentative, Sun - probable, Monday - fixed)

 

[grumpyjock]

looks like is G for go then.
Sorry cant do the weekend looks like working is in the offing.
Have to wait and see what planning come up with.

 

[ScienceBoy]

I am already pondering what to hit off the tee on the 3rd at Grimsby...

 

[ScienceBoy]

Scaffa boy here as well

Really now! All Good! I played at the rugby club (rugby not golf) for a few years in my teens. Half my relatives live or lived in scartho an lots of cousins also played at the club.

 

[HickoryShaft]

I am already pondering what to hit off the tee on the 3rd at Grimsby...

They had a bunker marked out for consideration recently - full fairway width about 50 yards in front of the green. Doesn't look to have been adopted though.

So its a straight choice - big hit with a driver and dink onto the green if you dont make it all the way or a safe mid iron leaving a 8/9 iron in......thats the theory , in practice it is 'can I get it below that tree branch with my 2nd' - lol

 

[grumpyjock]

So far we have 2 3 ball groups.
h/c
Grumpyjock 24
Wherediditgo 18
Viscount17 22
GB72 ??
Scienceboy 15
HickoryShaft 24

groups can be low h/c out first at grimsby
and out 2nd at normanby hall.

looking forward to this one even though its 7 weeks off yet.

Its not a bad drive, both my sister and I went to Uni in liverpool so we drove that way many times.

Pop yourself on the M62 and follow it all the way until you take the turnoff for the M18, follow that south for a little bit then hop on the M180. Take this lovely scenic motorway past such great places like Goole and Scunthorpe but resist turning off for them.

Finally you laid out before you is the charming seaside metropolis of Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

Follow the M180 till you turn off for the charming rural side village of Great Coates, marvel at the lovely church on your right as you drive in. Once you have crossed over Wybers Way look out for Grimsby Golf club, it will be on your right as you drive along Great Coates Road.

Turn right at the roundabout, straight on takes you into town. Resist going in for a spot of shopping at Freshney Place or walking around the historic shopping area of Freeman Street (Hickory will know what I am talking about).

On your right now will be a hotel and then the Golf Club entrance itself... Enjoy!
