[Swingalot]

Sorry Rob for the delay. I'm in mate, got to defend my Cooden title.................as its the only thing I've won for ages !

1 Smiffy
2 Fish
3 AndyN
4 Chrisd
5 Norrin Radd
6 Lurch
7 Heronsghyll
8 Robin
9 Guy
10 Midnight
11 Spongebob59
12 94tegsi
13 BlueinMunich
14 Leftie
15 Dhan
16 Chisteve
17 Golfmmad
18 Swingalot
19 Paperboy
20 FullThrottle

Now confirmed at 20. Could really do with one more player so that we have a perfect number for the 3 ball competition.......
Any last minute "takers?"

 

[Smiffy]

Unless anybody has any other ideas I might have to change things this year to have two separate individual competitions morning and afternoon.
I like the idea of the team event in the morning, but with the odd number that we have, it means having a twoball leading off, and I don't think there is any way to incorporate that into the competition.
The team event was going to be.... best score of three on holes 1-6, best two scores on holes 7-12 and all three on the last 6 holes.
Anybody got any ideas?????
Rob

 

[Paperboy]

Can't we go off in four balls?

 

[spongebob59]

You can do that with fireballs :

Best 2,1-6
Best 3, 7-12
All 4 13-18.

Or switch around so a bit more pressure on the final stretch ?

 

[Smiffy]

Can't we go off in four balls?

I'll check but I don't think we're allowed.

 

[Smiffy]

Can't we go off in four balls?

I have emailed the Secretary to find out if we can go out as fours in the morning, reverting back to three's in the afternoon. Hopefully he'll "play ball" so I will let you know what they say.
This will allow us to still hold our team competition.
The afternoon round, as usual, will be an individual comp.

 

[Smiffy]

We will be playing in 4 balls in the morning but reverting back to 3's in the afternoon. So we can still have our team event lads. Will sort some kind of batting order out over the next couple of days and post.

Rob, do you need help with anything on the day?

I should be there early enough to help polish off a few bacon rolls :ears:

If you could collect the cash for the prize fund Rob that would be great. Fiver off of everybody?

Sophie has sent through the "menu" for the evening barbecue.....

I can confirm the BBQ menu for next week as well it will be:
5oz Beef Burger
Pork & Leek Sausages
Chicken Kebab With Pitta Bread
Potato Salad
Green Salad
Burger Buns & Crusty Bread
Strawberry Cheesecake
Or Strawberry Pavlova.
£12 Per Person
Regards
Sophie

 

[Smiffy]

Just another reminder.....

Please could you make sure that you either bring "cash" or cheque for payment on the day.
I have to go up and pay the secretary during the break for lunch, and I don't really want to be messing around with various debit/credit cards.
As far as I can recall, the cost will be £70.00 per person but I will confirm this within the next few days. This price includes everything (inc. the barbecue).

Rob,

Any chance you could join our 3 x ball to make up the 4 in the morning?

It would be great to play with you again. It’s been a long time.....

Cheers,

Dave

Hi all what time are you planning to arrive there

 

[heronsghyll]

Hi all what time are you planning to arrive there

Normally the first tee is around 9.30.

Most people arrive between 8am and 9am for the coffee, bacon rolls and the start of the banter! That will give you time for a practice Putt etc

 

[full_throttle]

Don't be shy, I'll be wondering around asking for £5 to go into the prize fund,


as a side note, Rob, can you split me and my mate up as we are playing the day before and on the Sunday together.

Do you think you will have fallen out by then? 😂😂🏌️🏌️😂😂

 

[Smiffy]

Based on requests, I have come up with the following order of play for the morning rounds...

1 Robin, Guy, Heronsghyll, Smiffy
2 Paperboy, Swingalot, Chrisd, BlueinMunich
3 Leftie, Dhan, AndyN, Lurch
4 Golfmmad, Full Throttle, Fish, Norrin Radd
5 94tegsi, Midnight, Chisteve, Spongebob59

That’s got to be smallest turnout I’ve seen for years 🤔

Not the best Robin, but we normally have 24 or so, so only one group short.
I think the most we've ever had was about 28 when I first started it.
Ray Taylor (normally a "regular) can't make it this year, and LIG (another) has disappeared from the radar.
Never mind.
