Formby (open qualifier,Formby) Sunday 8th March £55

[Liverbirdie]

I phoned Formby to see if they could do a 36 hole option in March incorporating the ladies and gents courses.

They are two separate clubs though, so couldn't sort. Also,I doubt any of us would get a full round in, even if we teed straight off afterwards, as sunset is 6.00. They also had only one weekend date left where we can get a few on, so I've provisionally booked all 16 places. Seeing as we had had meets there before, I managed to sweet talk her into allowing us not to pay until January.

Its £55 inc soup and sarnies and our tee times are 10.00-10.26.Again, the price is based on a fourball, so will have to fill up in fours, then pay them as we reach each four.

We have the following so far, and now opened up on GM:-

Liverbirdie
Val
HDID Kenny
Lincoln Quaker

Lanark golfer
StuC
Duffers
Junior

Qwerty
Odvan

Possible reserve:-

Fairway dodger

So, only 6 spaces available, so the first to ones to get their £55's to the bank of Birchy will be in.

If we fill it and once I know where everyone is from, we'll sort out the competition.

Ive played Formby the last 2 years in March and the course is in fine fettle, normally. The summer price is about £140, iirc.

Birchy, let me know when you have the first 12 payments in an we'll get that over to Formby.

We should have the other 4 in by the end of this month anyway.

If anyone wants to be kept as a reserve let me know, in case someone is struggling nearer the time.:thup:

I'm sure you'll like it Paul.

Merseyside has a micro-climate as well, but Formby is reasonably well sheltered due to the tall pine trees, and it being a good 1/2 mile inland. You only see the sea on one hole in the distance, but it has a different beauty to it than your normal links course.

A slow burner of a start, but from the 6th it really starts to get beautiful.
