Formby/Hoylake double header results & banter

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.

I think St annes do a day ticket for £75 quid on mondays dont they? Maybe if we did the other course on the Sunday maybe it could work out cheaper and we would get St annes all day on the monday :).

Fairhaven don't take visitors on a Sunday Scott, And SAOL just have the 1 hour slots 11:00-12:00.

Sounds good to me seeing as I can stagger back to my own house after beers :)

Definitely interested in this, will keep my eye out

£65 for 1 hours golf - tell him to shove it. :)
 
If this goes ahead on the date suggested I will being ducking it, its the 36 hole club championships the day before, I will be shattered.

I played SAOL for £15 last year in their open.
 
SAOL and Fairhaven sound good to me although Saunton does also. I'll go with the majority !

Tbh Andy I also fancy Saunton, or even some where like St Andrews new course and Ladybank. I was hoping to get as many of the Usual suspects on board (as well as any other forummers)to do this i kinda thought the best option would be to keep it local.
I just thought I'd gauge opinion initially with a few ideas.( hence not starting a new thread)

I suppose the question is, Would the Flatcappers be happy with a road trip, if we could get a reasonable price together?

I will go anywhere mate as long as its decent golf & our daft bunch are up for it :). We can sort travel out between us all to keep costs down if need be. Some top courses that have a few together have some brilliant looking deals on from what ive seen looking around.

Our club goes to Saunton twice a year on 3 day trips so I might be able to get more details to the discounts available based on some numbers as we have some distance members at my club for Saunton. I'll see and ask them them Saturday, 24 of them just returned yesterday.

I think a good number would travel for 2-3 hours generally, but for every hour over that, I think people would drop away. Cornwall is a hell of a drive for a 3 day trip, not bad if your going away for a week, but hard over 3 days. Just my tuppennorthworth.

What about them 3 ryder cup ones in Yorkshire/Notts (or even just two of them)? All within 2 hours of the north west and 3 1/2 hours including Glasgow, midlands and north east.
 
I think we should do a few options and have a vote between the group. There seems to be a few good options and its not gonna be easy for anybody to decide :rofl:
