East Brighton again????

Have just phoned the golf club, the earliest tee times I could get were from 12.45. I hope that this doesn't cause problems for anybody? I've booked 5 tee off slots, we should get round with no problem at all as it won't be getting dark until at least 5.30. Please let me know if this is going to mess things up for you. Rob
 
Perfect timing for me Rob as I'll be doing the school run before driving down. I know that we're going to be drawing playing partners, but could I possibly put in a request to go out in one of the first groups off please as I'll unfortunately need to get away quite sharpish to get home to look after the kids. Hope that's ok with everyone.
 
Missus wont be happy as I said that I would be home for 5.30 , the time that she leaves for work.

I'm sure that I will still be playing I think that I will probably need to be in the first group and then leave straight after. It might all change if I can get someone to mind the kids till I get back.

Will keep you posted. BTW I have a 2 for 1 and dont forget to bring along those dodgy herbal tablets for tennis elbow Smiffy.

(See what I did there? getting my excuse for playing crap in early) ;)

Make sure you leave your £5'er behind for the winner! ;)

A fiver, no one mentioned a fiver. :( :( :( :(

Will have to put it down as a business expense along with my mileage. ;) ;)

:ooops I missed the bit about drawing partners.

So its the best stableford points from each hole or combined total from each hole?
 
Smiffy have you done the draw for this yet and what's the format?

Format will be individual Stableford as it was last time. A draw for groups won't be made until the day, the two lads concerned were just asking if the draw could be "massaged" in any way to give them a place in the first group as they need to get away smartish.
;)
 
Yes that would me , I need to get away straight afterwards coz the other half is working. Can I be in the first group please?

It looks like we have 17 at the moment, (unless anyone pulls out at the last minute), so we are going to have to play as 3x3 balls and 2x4 balls. I certainly have no problem whatsoever in putting yourself and Pieman in the first group out as you have both said you need to get away promptly. I want to try to "mix it up a bit" as there are a few guys that I have not played with yet, and Leftie has said the same thing. So rather than a random draw for partners it may well be better to select who plays with who to avoid repetition.
Having said that, Ray, Khalid, Alan and Greg are four friends of mine who are not members of the site so it may well be best to let them all play as a fourball (which they tend to do most of the time anyway) to allow a better mix of forum members.
I am going to get to the club about 11.00am for a bite to eat and a coffee/chinwag etc. so I will pick the scorecards up from the pro shop in advance and try to sort out some kind of order once I know for sure how many are definitely coming.
Just to confirm that the green fee will be £15.00. It would really be appreciated if you could bring cash (rather than cards) to pay as I can collect all the monies in one hit and sort it out with the pro shop prior to teeing off. They prefer this, rather than confuse the issue by all going in the pro shop at once!
And don't forget your 2fore1 vouchers if you have them!!
Weather forecast is looking better the closer we get

;) ;) ;)
 
Will aim to get there by 11.30 to soak up the big match atmosphere. :D Hope the bacon rolls are up to standard, and the tea is strong.

I have to be totally honest Richard. No other course I have visited has served up bacon sandwiches like your gaff.
They were absolutely fantastic. The bacon was soooo lean and tender I didn't even have to take my teeth out*.











*I do have to whip 'em out at East Brighton
 
Just to let you know "officially".

Roger Oliver (Leftie) has suggested a way of mixing things up a little on the day and has kindly volunteered to put this into practice on the day.
It's not often that people step forward with offers of help, and for this I am deeply indebted to him.
Roger will also be in charge of collecting the money off of everybody and for sorting it out in the pro shop. I will contact the club tomorrow to notify them that the booking has changed from "Smith party" to "Mr Olivers group"
Thanks from the bottom of my heart Roger.
Way to go

:D :D :D :D :D :D
