Compulsory Xmas meal!

[Oddsocks]

I’m not sure my standing on this, but every year our club has it’s Christmas texus scramble and we have always had the option to opt out of the meal. £10 for the comp or £25 with 3course meal, but numbers needed to be confirmed the week prior for obvious reasons.

We have a new GM who has recently started and for the first time ever it’s a compulsory! Whether you choose to eat or not, it’s the same entry fee. It’s seen a split view with around 20% of entrants pulling out.

How would this sit with others?

 

[RangeMonkey]

I’d be pulling out.
Is the GM called Kim Jong Un?
Do they think it’s junior school?
It’s a place to go and hit golf balls.
Stuff ‘em.

Our Xmas scramble has food behind the hot counter, and partaking thereof is not compulsary
TBH, the scramble takes long enough as it is, so to make it a sit down meal after would put many off.

I think the option should be Xmas meal with optional golf not the other way round.

 

[patricks148]

Personally i would go for the meal... i love Turkey.

its a christmas bash so i would expect a meal and a piss up TBH, its only a once a year thing so it if bothers you don't go

 

[fundy]

Sounds great, just need to book the cab early

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Nope, not paying £25 for a scramble. I'm out. Should be optional all the way

We had a similar situation where we have team comps every so often and it was decided that the entry fee included breakfast - that didnt last too long!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Blimey, I thought a bar levy was unnecessary, this takes it even further ?. Yes, I'd be out.

 

[Oddsocks]

I get the inclusion of breakfast as this makes more sense and while some (including myself) see the social appeal to staying on for a meal after, 6 teams are now incomplete as players had late afternoon or early evening plans. This is a huge factor going into the festive season.

I’m not sure anything should ever be compulsory other manors and slow play etiquette

Different things suit different people

 

[bobmac]

I hope the new GM doesn't last long.
Idiot

 

[robinthehood]

Just pay with all those unused levys

 

[Oddsocks]

I hope the new GM doesn't last long.
Idiot

Could you be more specific ?

 

[SammmeBee]

1 course meal - £15/£17.50 with the competition and decent prizes.

Stay or bugger off.....

I’d be pulling out as well £25 to play a scramble round your own course and compulsory meal when thy time maybe better spent elsewhere at this time of year.

First line in the OP
Although that might be the cost for each team?

I'd be in for that but not the meal.
