East Yorkshire Knock

[HRC99]

I know there's a few of us on here but wondered if anyone fancied a knock somewhere in East Yorkshire before the weather turns really crap?

Flexible on dates, times, locations etc.

 

[grumpyjock]

Would like to go back to Ashby Decoy, it is a fine course.
Would need to be before Goswick, what Friday the 8th October?

 

[Kellfire]

If it was a weekend I could possibly make it down.

Never heard of it. What's it like?

 

[Whereditgo]

Count me in, pretty flexible on dates as long as there is a little bit of notice.

Ashby Decoy is over in Scunthorpe, shortish track, but fairly tight and nearly always in good nick.

 

[grumpyjock]

It just outside Scunthorp

We played 36 at the end of August.
nice course well worth a visit.

Teasingly close to FP

I'd be game for this with a bit of notice. (So I can book time off work if mid week)

Now there's a thought. They take 2 4 1s at FP.

I could be up for this

FP is always worth a visit, and Elsham was always a good track too, although I havent been for a few years.

Depending on numbers, my own course @ Brough might be a candidate too perhaps ?

 

[Whereditgo]

Elsham still has a decent reputation, though they had a clubhouse fire a little while back and I don't know if its recovered.

FP speaks for itself and Brough would also be ideal.

 

[HRC99]

I suppose it depends on whether we want an East Yorkshire day's golf or a Lincolnshire day's golf.

 

[Wildrover]

Elsham's clubhouse is back in business again, haven't been but told it's superb. I could be up for a game if on a w/e.

 

[Macster]

true !

One thing is for sure, we dont want a day like today :-(

Brough is ok at the mo', and always a tough test of golf. We have a few issues soon to be tackled hopefully by the new greenkeeper starting soon, - just a bit of tidying up and attention to detail etc, and the only real problem we have at the minute is the damage that Crows are doing looking for Crane Fly grubs. Hacking up sections of the course - its unbeleivable.

Selby is supposed to be a fabulous track too, but have never played it yet.

 

[teegirl]

Sorry if this is getting too much choice, but has anyone been to College Pines? is it in E. York's? I've heard good reports about it and it's not too dear either, also were doing 2 fore 1.

Count me in anywhere

 

[grumpyjock]

Are we going to go north or south of the river?

 

[HRC99]

Why don't we say north of the river then we can narrow down the candidates from there?

 

[grumpyjock]

Ok the course I was thinking of is Cottingham,
http://www.cottinghamparks.co.uk/pages.php?currPage=contact&googlemap=true
we played there last month.
Dont know if they do 2 for 1, courses that do are Hessle-Gansted and Beverly.
All within easy reach of the M62 and the Humber bridge.

 

[HRC99]

North of the River, the obvious options are:

Beverley
Bridlington
Brough
Burstwick
Cave Castle
Cherry Burton
Cottingham
Driffield
Flamborough
Ganstead
Ganton
Hainsworth Park
Hessle
Hornsea
Hull
Kilnwick Percy
Skidby Lakes

Of those, Ganton is expensive. I'm not a fan of Burstwick, Cherry Burton, Ganstead, Hainsworth Park & Skidby Lakes. Never played Driffield. Bridlington is ok, but nothing special.

2 Fore 1s definitely at Beverley, Cave Castle and Kilnwick Percy. Possibly others?

Chris is a member at Brough and I'm at Beverley so those two would be easy to arrange. But I'm happy with pretty much anywhere.

Any thoughts?

 

[grumpyjock]

never played beverly or brough so either for me.
Friday the 8th October 10'oclock tee time?
