Ah yes.... the one the Leeds Massive call 'Pussy-cat Costa' :rofl: Will try not to sneeze while he's about
Cleveland Golf Club, Sunday 29th January
- Thread starter Hobbit
- Start date
Important message!
Between provisionally booking for 20 people and me advising Cleveland we have 28 people, Cleveland have taken another booking, and I've only just seen their email today. They have given us another tee time at 10:52, impacting on their own comp, but the best they can accommodate is 24 players.
If anyone is unsure or having second thoughts please let me know. Failing that I'll have to ballot out 4 players, which I'll do late Thursday evening if I have to - obviously rather not!!
If I do have to cut anyone it will be the non-forum members/+1's first. Even then I will try and balance this so that those who have encouraged someone to join us, and they are their travelling companions, will be those I'll try and keep in.
Not ideal but its the best I can do. Those of you that have phone numbers for any forumites, please let them know the situation we are dealing with.
I will revisit this issue on Thursday evening, if there hasn't been four volunteers, and make the cut then.

Would be gutted to miss out mate, but with living close I'm happy to stand aside if you have any issues balloting out people.

Bri,
Just withdraw me , Richy , Ronnie
Me and Richy have played there 2 or 3 times
Rather others that haven't been before, could then play, rather than disappoint those travelling from further afield
Our 3 can get a game at another local track, so no real issues
I'd rather it didn't come to drawing lots, as feel that's unfair
I'd also prefer not to wait til Thursday as suggested, as this then gives us time to find another tee time at an earlier opportunity
It's an awful situation you find yourself in Bri, so I hope this makes it all a lot easier
:thup:

The problem with that is your all NE and then that leaves 2 pairs or yorkies without any opposition. As hard and tough a decision it is, I'd think it's got to be 2 from each so it still leaves an equal comp?

Yes
But my mate was last in, just to make the numbers up and even up the sides
So prob should be 1st out
After promising him a game, I couldn't go back with this info, tell him he's out then still play myself
Wouldn't sit right with me that, not at all
So I'd have to withdraw
As for richy
On the basis that he's no transport and I'm picking him up
He'd pull out too, and we'd just have a game elsewhere ourselves
Richy has played Cleveland 2-3 times too, and feels the same way, so we're all fine about it

Cheers Moogie, Bri put me back in
Just kidding mate.
I'm just trying to make hobbits job easy
As this is a mare really
Don't envy him if has to pick people
So rather it didn't get to that stage
That's all

The teams are easy levelled out
No matter if it was 3 from same team
That's the least of the worries of this current dilemma

Would be gutted to miss out, but if balloted out so be it.
If out, i'm staying in Newcastle Sunday/Monday anyway, so would be happy to play elsewhere (preferably a links or sandy track, Seaton, Hartlepool, how far is Goswick?) with the other 3

Goswick miles away. Silloth?

I can volunteer to drop out if needed fellas.
Gutted to miss this one but I have a dodgy knee at the minute and didn't want to drop out to mess the numbers or let anyone down after committing to play.

If you're staying newcastle , and think Goswick is miles away, then I assure you silloth is a lot further away mate.
See how this all pans out, sure worst case scenario something will come up
But I don't think guys like yourself committing to come from afar should be ballotted out
It's easier for us locals, less disruption that way

Huds I think you were thinking Seaton Carew that is over the estuary.

Seaton and Hartlepool nearest links for sure.
Goswick a lot further from Manchester than Silloth.
All could be done. Not played Goswick or Hartlepool before.

I agree Moogie.... the teams can be easily sorted, whatever.....for the 'drop-outs' its whoever feels comfortable with it...... am very impressed with the offers so far.... lots of support for Hobbit showing...., respect!!

Well, I'd rather it was sorted ASAP, with least disruption as possible, and with volunteers rather than others being "forced" to withdraw with no say.
Incidentally Dave, what was the reaction of your +1, and +2, when you made them aware of this situations??

I'll pull out since I was last in
