Cheap and cheerful of Sussex

TBH I don't see why we can't have any number - it's only a social game, with a couple of quid on a stableford, or whatever.

I don't mind how many come along Clive, the only problem is if we got more than 8 it may be difficult getting on to Copthorne at "sensible" money.
James, as a member, can sign 3 in. I know Joe (the pro) well enough to most probably wangle 4 more in on the basis that we have "left our County Cards at home"...a nod and a wink normally works.
That leaves whoever is left to have to pay full whack for their green fees.
Chartham Park would see no such problems but it is more likely to be more expensive there anyway. I'll phone them over the next few days to see if they are doing any deals.

I like the way you're thinking, young man. I assumed they'd be happy to have a couple more 'paying guests'.

It's a good thing I put you in charge. Otherwise it'd be anarchy round here.

:cool:

I'm out all day today and tomorrow but will contact Chartham Park on Friday to see what sort of deal (if any) they could offer us. Looking at their website I think the greenfee is likely to be around the £25.00 mark. Copthornes mid-week rate (with a member) is £20.00 and the County Card rate is £25.00 (as long as I can convince Joe that we have left our County Cards at home!!). If he won't wear that, then the mid-week green fee as a visitor is £40.00 which will rule it out for some people.
Will let you know how I get on once I have spoken to Chartham Park. I don't mind which course we play to be honest, both are a good test of golf. Having said that, James is more likely to come unstuck around Chartham Park so that's a little more tempting.... :D :D :D :D :D
 
OK, I'm in........ I've applied for the day off from work.

I'm happy with £20/25 a round, but, I'm happy to sort something out around my place if required. It's £50 a round but, they accept 2 fore 1 vouchers which brings it down to £25. I've got a couple of these knocking around plus GM gave one away with last months issue.

Plus, if we get enough then I might be able to have a word and get it reduced further (can't promise that though).

Let me know your thoughts........
 
Is your gaff hilly Auburn?

Just a question as obviously I am on the way back from injury and may well be carrying!

Yeah mate, it is. The 14th in particular is a bit of a beast. You drive down into the valley and then play up to the green. I'm normally struggling when i get to the green.

I'd recommend a trolley if we play at mine....

I will give Chartham Park a call this morning and find out what kind of deal they could do if we got 12 of us. Failing that, I'll have a word with James to find out the possibility of getting 12 on at Copthorne, but I think it would be a bit tricky and the green fee is likely to be more.
Chartham Park is easy walking, ideal for Johns "comeback"..only one bit that's a little leggy and that's not that bad. The walk up to the 6th tee from the 5th green is uphill but it's short(ish). The actual holes are relatively flat (but not boring).
So far then we have........
1 SMIFFY
2 CRAPHACKER
3 MEDWAYJOHN
4 JUSTONE
5 LEFTIE
6 RICHARDC
7 BRATTY
8 PIEMAN
9 AUBURNWARRIOR
