Camberley 10th Dec

Having read this. - please do not associate your team with us, WE are the "official" GM team !! :smirk:

Perhaps hurling 4 bags of crisps in our general direction might see us all avoiding an unpleasant and somewhat grubby situation.

Its all a bit like when those (just about still alive) 70s pop group members go on the road with three 20-year old kids making up the missing spaces created by the former dead members, but yet insisting on calling themselves The Original Showwaddywady, Showwaddywaddy 2015 or Joe Bloggs' Memories of Showwaddywaddy.

I will consult my legal team and see just which of us has the right to claim "Official" GM Team status.

Either that or we could have a fiver a man on best score to decide it on the day. :)

I can see Mike Harris reading this and instructing his legal team to deny all knowledge of you!!

So, are we up for a bet with this team of rascals?
 
Don't want to worry my teammates unduly, but after a pretty good run of late my game yesterday was not in great shape - and more worryingly my email to Butch, requesting he comes over to give me a lesson before Thursday, is still to be answered. 👀
 
Johnny, you don't need Butch. Here is everything you need to know in one simple video :thup:

Ah...of course. I can see now where I was going wrong. After watching the video I think it can be summed up simply as: my angle of dangle was more of a rhomboid equilateral - rather than the required isosceles triangle.

:p Or something like that any way. :D
 
Well if all things go well we will miss the rain and only rain on Tuesday according to Countryfile weather albeit it will be very windy.

Anyone know how the course is fairing?
 
Can you please pass this onto your team.



We are looking forward to seeing your team next Thursday,



There will be Coffee and Bacon Rolls available in the Presidents bar from 8:30am. We will have a registration desk where you can pick up your scorecard and you can then go through and get your breakfast.



The men will be playing off the yellow tees and the ladies from the red tees. Your tee will be noted on your score card when you arrive. The shotgun start will begin at 10am.



The format for the day will be a stableford team competition with the best two scores counting on each hole. You will be playing off full handicaps which will be noted on your team card.



After the golf we will be having a two course Christmas Meal which will take place in the Windsor Room. If you or any of your team has any dietary requirements then please let me know at least 24 hours before the day. As this is a relaxed golf day please feel free to change for the meal but very happy for people to stay in their golf gear (no golf shoes).



If you have any questions then please let me know otherwise we look forward to seeing you next week.



Many thanks,

Played yesterday, course is OK. Greens are slower than summer but were not too bad. They are doing some work on holes 13 & 15 (replacing the bunkers). Not sure whether they will have both holes open for play on Thursday. Over the last few weeks they have been closing the hole they are working on. When this happens, they split hole 5 into a par 4 to a temporary green followed by a par 3 from a temporary tee to the real 5th green. I am sure it will all be explained on the day.

Was told today that all 18 holes will be open for play on Thursday. There will be areas of GUR where the bunkers are being worked on. (BTW, ALL areas of GUR at Camberley are play prohibited).

They will also set up a table outside for those that do not use plates :)

Is it likely that electric trolleys will be ok/banned?

For you Chris, they are always banned. You need the exercise :)

Seriously, due to there being a buggy path round the course, trolleys are not banned, just restricted to the buggy path if necessary. I think in the last 10 years there has only been one occasion when this was done.

When there is no trolley restriction, you are asked to not take trolleys on tees or near greens, to respect the red dashed lines near the greens.

If any of you want to use a buggy, the rule for the last week or so has been to restrict buggies to the path only. The rule(s) concerning buggy & trolley use for Thursday will be decided by the course manager on Thursday morning.
