[Smiffy]

Sorry chaps. I am now a no. I am required for 2 hours on a video conference with three Indian guys. Essential that I am there.


Sorry that I won't be able to join you.

Really sorry to hear that you won't be able to join us Snelly. I was looking forward to seeing you smack a ball around there again.
Now looks like this....

1 Smiffy
2 Ray Taylor
3 Greg Lindley
4 Alan Bannister
5 Richart
6 Dhan
7 JustOne
8 Leftie
9 TXL
10 RichardC

2 spaces still available.

Is the course fairly flat?

It's not flat exactly Chris, but it's not hard walking mate. I'm normally knackered after 18 holes but always feel fairly fresh when I come off the 18th there. The turf makes for easy walking. It's nice and springy.

Calvin.

I could do it, but only if I manage 18 holes tomorrow without ill effect as it's my first attempt at a full round since the op, I got round 9 on Wednesday and hit at the range today as well as went for a good walk without using a stick. I assume that they would be ok with an electric trolley?

I would suggest that you accept anyone who's a definite but if I feel good and there's a space I'd love to make up the numbers

Electric trolley would be fine Chris. I can guarantee that the course will be bone dry...well not bone dry as it will be come July/August but I can guarantee that your shoes won't get muddy and the greens will be superb.

How do you want to leave it Rob?

What, your trolley??? Just outside the clubhouse I guess

 

[Smiffy]

I am quite happy to hold the place until Monday morning for you Chris, just to see how you get on tomorrow. Would be good to meet up.

 

[chrisd]

You can either pencil me in and I will cancel if I have to or you can actively look for someone and I will play if someone drops out

I would be happy with that Rob

If I can play I could offer RichardC a lift if he wants

Chris. I can pencil you in for now and if anyone else wants to play they will be 1st reserve. All I ask is that you let me know as soon as you are aware if you don't feel that you can manage it. Don't worry mate.

 

[chrisd]

We cross posted Rob but you got the message

It would be great for Leftie too, just to have someone to discuss the winter fuel allowance with!

[richart]

Until Calvin came along I was the youngest player.:whoo:It will be like playing in a senior open.:ears:

 

[JustOne]

Chris/Smiffy, I don't want to put a spanner in the works but the course is on the top of the hills! flat doesn't really describe it, far from it in fact, knackering is probably a better description

To be fair if I'd just had a new hip I'd err on the side of giving it a miss.... or at least be prepared.

Not being funny James, I personally find Copthorne more tiring.....especially when I play it with you

I played 18 today in the frosty conditions. At the moment I feel that I have been kicked by a horse! I think that having read James' comments as well, it would be best for me to return to plan A.

So, if anyone wants the game then please go and play with my blessing. If there is a space late on that is available then I may well still ask to play.

I hope everyone will be happy with this suggestion


Chris
