Formby/Hoylake double header results & banter

[Qwerty]

Why not try the Hirsel. We might be able to get a good rate. I believe a forum regular might be involved up there.

I only just saw your mention of Saunton earlier Danny, Good call mate, certainly something I'd be happy to help organise if we got the numbers.
Think we'll have to get our heads together to discuss.

Think we need a marketing Strategy "Flat cap end of season bash" or something along those lines...

As if I would

sounds like a plan mate. As soon as I get back from Ireland we'll get together for a knock and work out some details. Would love to do both Saunton courses coupled with RND but that might get a bit expensive. Maybe 1 Saunton and RND or both Saunton. Couple of nights locally and a boat load of Cider.

Saunton and St. Mellion are both good, but I've played both so may have an advantage. Isn't burnham and berrow down that way.

OR

Celtic manor?????

East & West Saunton are excellent, played both last March. Stayed in centre of Barnstaple which was also very good and friendly and less than 10 minutes drive to the course.

Burnham and berrow is pretty accessible, I've always liked the look of it.
One place where you can always get a great deal is Trevose,it's a great set up they've got there and you can always team it up with St Enodoc.. Id be up for that but I can't see many making the trek down there.

 

[full_throttle]

North Berwick has had plenty of praise, so would be naughty not to try that one too

 

[gjbike]

Ive had a look at a few options today, Summer green fees in the north west for any decent course are just crazy.
Trying to tie something into a weekend also not easy. I'll keep looking..

Maybe play at the very end of the season when they change to winter rates

Good to see Valentino (Martin) sporting his new Rylan Clark look

View attachment 5262

didn't know you were a fan mate

Rylan is slim!

Instead of discussing poor courses just all get your backsides up to Machrihanish and play proper links golf.

 

[Birchy]

Huge thanks to LB and Birchy for organising the last two days, Great job pulling all this together on what I thought were two Stunning courses. Really enjoyed it Fellas...

Thanks again to Junior, Fat Tiger, & Birchy for the great company today and Well done Junior on sealing the deal, Stunning golf on the front 9 mate (24pts) :thup:

Good to see everyone again. See you all soon .

Edit-Birchy, If I can sort my act out, I'll be fancying our chances in that Pleasington Open after watching you play today mate, I can see that handicap of yours tumbling this year :thup:

Yeah i fancy our chances of being competitive at least mate . Cheers for the positive comments :thup: Certainly hoping to put a big dent in it this season.

Have a gander at this mate. I've fancied playing here for a while maybe put it together with Ganton or somewhere nearby. Would be a grand jolly boys outing (and girl Louise, before you have a go )

I also fancy this too Danny, im sure Dodger could sort us out if we had enough bodies keen.

Oh, you'll be competitive Birchy, if what I saw in Scotland was anything to go by.
Just need to get over that mental block of playing worse at your home course that we talked about - hcap will tumble I reckon.

Couple of ideas I'll throw in for future "doos".

Very top end courses are eye-wateringly expensive in summer - as noted.
Just checked out 2 local to us.
St Annes Old Links :- a day ticket is £85,a round is £55 (am) and £50 (pm). They do some packages for a minimum of 12 too.
Eg, £65 a round with food before and after, £92 full day with brekkie lunch and dinner.

Fairhaven do something similar with prices roughly the same.
I've played both and they are both great tracks.

Be great to play some top courses in summer but I think we'd be best setting some kind of limit on price.
(Also be great if I wasn't working for a change )

Ive just had a chat with the secretary at St annes old links.
They have availability for up to 5 four balls on Sunday July 21st for £65 golf only, 11:00am-12:00.
This could possibly be paired up with a Monday at Fairhaven if there was enough interest. And also a sunday night out locally(theres plenty of cheap accommodation) again if there was enough interest.

Ill have a chat with Bluewolf when he's back from Ireland as we also mentioned Saunton and The Hirsel last night, and I got carried away mentioning Trevose( had a few beers). And hopefully we can sort something that suits.

He's got numbers in his contacts split into areas he plays golf at.
