But with a huge smile on your face Rob!

A huge something Chris..... I'm still thinking of that Peruvian receptionist

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

Awesome - looks good. Also as 5 x 4’s we are more likely to finish closer together! More social.....

I’ll share that with you 👍

As a first timer I've a couple of questions :

1) Anywhere we can charge trolley batteries over lunch ?
2) Smart trainers allowed in the clubhouse and do we need to change for the evening BBQ ?

Which trolley have you got?
Trainers allowed and smart casual for barbecue... Clean shirt????

 

[spongebob59]

Go kart

 

[chrisd]

I've got a lithium battery I'd probably like to charge too Rob or maybe use a buggy for one 18 round

 

[Golfmmad]

Sounds like we have the same issue, aimpoint buddy !

 

[Fish]

I’ve always brought my battery into the club and plugged it in whilst eating just to give it a top up, it’s always got me round there for 2 rounds.

 

[Leftie]

Go Kart Lithium 18 hole battery should do 36 at Cooden - mine did it last year with bags of ooomph to spare. It's pretty flat most of the time so if you are worried, you could always push a bit occasionally to help it out.

 

[Smiffy]

Go kart

I've got a "normal" Go Kart battery you could borrow for the 2nd 18 if it will fit.
Let me know, 'cos it will need charging after Old Pines.

 

[spongebob59]

Thanks for the offer, but will bring charger and try and top up over lunch.

 

[Fish]

I’m all packed and will be on the road at 6am tomorrow morning.

Should be clear of Poole by around 9.30 - 10.00 then driving across to Bexhill on Sea where I should arrive about 12.00 - 12.30, then I’ll be perched at the bar in The Harp 🍺🍻🍺

For those coming the day before feel free to join me for beers and a curry 🍺🍽😎

 

[full_throttle]

all set here, 10am start tomorro with a stop at Crownorough Beacon on the way down.


Safe journey folks
