Dundonald Links 10th-18th October

It would be good to make this a HUGE Scottish annual meet for a chosen children's charity. Would be happy to help organise.

Will be looking at something similar to today again for next year around the same weekend. Maybe something bigger charity wise could be planned for summer months??? But I do like the idea of a mega children's charity day for Scotland.

Let's not forget the mini meets that make these bigger get togethers so good. Lots more of the Opens etc could be entered.

Sorry I missed the photo call, I was in the practice bunker and couldn't get out.

I thought you were standing at the back and we just couldn't see you...

Maybe have it earlier in the year to attract the guys from below the border ?

Didn't realise the border was only open in the summer. :rofl:

Of course not but there is a very big meet down sarf around now and people travel to that

So having one at the beginning of summer would expose it to everyone and the people might be willing to travel to make a week of it as opposed to thinking twice because of just coming off a big meet.

Especially if both are for charity - having maximum exposure to the whole forum etc can only be good for both charities

Phil it's about 3 times the price then.

I should add courses are better up in in the back end of the year than early summer. Maybe the other event could move to earlier in the summer to save the problems experienced with the weather and greens this year???

It's the first time the event has been effected by the weather and the date has been set in stone for a number of years now

It was just a suggestion to ensure to charity events aren't in direct competition with each other and therefore giving everyone a chance to attend both if they so wish - having two charity meets in direct competition with each doesn't really make sense and the only losers would be the charities - it would be disappointing to see

Seems that Pete is getting some very good prices in May for some top courses ?

Agreed William quality links course in Scotland are generally affordable in the off season, have an annual charity event is a great idea.
For the record I'd love to play the HFH events however they are always a stones throw from London, be nice if it went north of Birmingham once every couple of years :thup:

What a ridiculous twist on what was an excellent day. Bite your tongue folks.

Fair comment , but whoever organises an event can nominate his chosen charity , no likey no play simple.

Great course for a dayout, had some cracking outings there before, and saw Callum play one of the best bunker shots ever. He's a good lad for a short hitter

Its not about "liking" a charity ?!

I did edit my post but not quick enough.

I will however state that if I decide to organise a Scottish charity day it will be on a date that suits me and everyone will be welcome from wherever.

Keep an eye on the arrange a game thread and if the date suits and you are interested then great.

Played a couple of weeks ago with him and you would think for his size he would hit it a bit further.

Good luck - I apologies for attempting to finding a way or at least suggesting to maximising raising as much money as possible for charity as that would be the real focus in any charity day.

No need to apologise for that. Just apologise for your passive aggressive language and we're good to move on, skip.
