Beau Desert Opens

I'm up for August 26th not far for me to travel!
Barry

I couldn't, got my 2 day club championships on the Sat & Sun so wouldn't get away with Monday as well.

Hopefully some others might join you to make a team up? Have you checked availability?
 
We now have a GM Team in for July 23rd :thup:

1/ Fish
2/ Fundy
3/ Upsidedown
4/ MetalMickie

I hope you guys do better than us :o

We finished with 71pts and were 15th with around half the field in. It was VERY windy though.

On the plus side we were split on whether or not to enter the 2's sweep, but did, and had 3 of them including an eagle on the short par 4 9th! :)
The downside is that we might be picking them up this time next year :mad:
 
After yesterday I can do any wind, its force 10 gales I struggle with ;)

What format was that Gary, best 2 and was it with other forumers?

Yes, best 2 from 4. Was with my regular 4 ball. 3 of us would have had around 31pts playing alone but one guy really struggled and would've had about 18pts on his own.

Looking forward to it, only hear good things about the course but all say its quite tough also.

3 days ago they had a 36 hole amateur comp with lots of very low handicaps playing, 70+ entries.

The best (and only under par) round was 68. Next best 72. Par 70, SSS 72.

Only 67 from 144 rounds broke 80.

Round 1 CSS = 75
Round 2 CSS = 73

Nuff said.
 
I have some damaged goods in my team (Fundy 7) for Beau Desert on July 23rd so I'm looking for a straight or as close a replacement (handicap wise) as possible to keep a good spread of handicaps throughout the team.

Ideally I'm looking for up to a 10 handicapper to give a foundation along with Ben (Upsidedown) to the team.

1/ Fish (19)
2/ Upsidedown (6)
3/
4/ J Carlin (12)

Tee time is 11.20hrs

Please state your interest ASAP so I can contact the club and make the changes.
 
**Bump**

OK, I'll open this up a bit, please state your interest if you'd like to join me at Beau Desert for only £30.00 (owed to Fundy which I'll pass on).

Its best 2 scores from 4 so someone who's either pretty steady around what I'm told is quite a tough track or even better, playing below handicap currently ;)

I'm really up for this, if you haven't guessed already :whistle:

nb: handicap certs will be required
 
Been on to Beau Desert this morning after serious thunder storms & lightening throughout the night. Ground staff have cleared some standing water since 6am this morning and the weather is clearing all the time and they expect no further lightening or heavy storms, so, were still on :thup:

No delays and course fully playable :D
 
What a load of tosh I was told this morning! I think I must have been speaking to a cleaner because after a 80 mile round trip, £11.00 in toll fee's my nett result is, NO GOLF :(

I did everything possible this morning, rang the course information line, which did air on the side of caution but then 20 minutes later I rang the Beau Desert Pro shop (8am) and was assured the course was OK as per the above comments but 90 minutes later and on arrival, its closed :angry:

Went into the clubhouse, a barmaid informed the course was closed and the competition cancelled, you'd think someone in authority would come and see us and offer us a complimentary cup of tea or coffee before turning around, or am I looking for too much?

I hear so many good things about Beau Desert, obviously its only the course, communication and people skills are still work in progress :whistle:

That is shocking! For the pro shop to tell you its game on and then when you get there its closed is nothing short of a disgrace!
 
New rearranged date of 17th September has been announced, I think we keep the same tee time but I'll confirm that later.
