Smiffy
Grand Slam Winner
Just to confirm the final details.
I have notified Forest Pines of the rooming lists, please see the main thread about rooming arrangements elsewhere in the "Arrange a game" section if you are not sure who you are rooming with.
You can check in at anytime, (I am planning to get there around mid-day), but please note that your rooms will not be available until 3pm. Obviously we wil be out on the golf course at that time, but if I remember correctly the hotel have a large, sercure holding room where you can leave your luggage until you get back in after your round.
The 1st tee is booked from 14.16 for the 1st round. This will be over the Forest and Pines 9's. Format will be fourball betterball matchplay (90% allowance), and the matches will be made known to you a few days before the event. There is a little bit of flexibiity with pairings with the fourballs, so if you have any requests as to who you wish to be paired with, please can you let either me (if you are an Old Fart) or Kraxx68 know (if you are a Whippersnapper) with plenty of time.
Dinner will be served from 8.30pm in the main dining room, (casual dress perfectly acceptable ie jeans and t shirts etc), where the draw will be made for the singles matchplay the following morning. Always good for a laugh that is, (the draw, not the food!).
Breakfast will be available from 6.30 the next morning (for all you early risers!).
The 1st tee is booked again from 9.28 and this time we will be playing the Pines & Beeches 9's. Format is singles matchplay with full handicap allowance.
Due to the constraints placed on us by the hotel we will be playing in fours so there will be two matches being played within each group. It would be great if we could just have two's going out but this would obviously choke the tee up for too long and you can't expect that on a resort style course. Whilst a bit of gentle banter is to be expected between matches, obviously no assistance can be given to your team mate playing the other match alongside you!!
There are no hard and fast rules for the week-end, the main thing is just to have a laugh, a bit of banter and hopefully some reasonable (if not good) golf thrown in for good measure.
The only thing I would like you all to remember..................
PLEASE COULD YOU BRING ONE BLUE AND ONE RED SHIRT WITH YOU FOR THE MATCHES. I SUGGESTED THE WHIPPERSNAPPERS WEARING THEIR RED SHIRTS FOR ROUND ONE, BLUE FOR ROUND TWO WITH THE OLD FARTS OBVIOUSLY DOING THE OPPOSITE!! THIS IS A TEAM EVENT, SOME OF US ARE MEETING PEOPLE FOR THE 1st TIME SO THE SHIRT THING IS A HELPFUL IDENTIFIER!
YOUR PARTICIPATION OVER THIS POINT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
I don't think I have left anything out, but if you do have any other queries at all please contact me via pm.
Really looking forward to what should be a cracking week-end.
Cheers lads.
