Right guys - am expecting to be mega busy with work next week, so will post this now just to ensure that the opportunity to put this info up doesn't pass me by.
I'm proposing that we all meet at Muirfield for 8.45am on the morning of Tuesday 5th March and we'll have coffee/tea (£1 extra) before heading to the first tee for our allotted times of 9.30 and 9.40. The course is accessed off Duncur Road at the south end of Gullane (it is NOT signposted from the main road!!) and parking is in under-cover 'garage' type sheds off to the right hand side before you reach the driveway for the Greywalls Hotel. The contact details for the club are as follows:
The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers,
Duncur Road,
Muirfield,
Gullane,
East Lothian,
EH31-2EG.
Telephone: 01620 842123
Normal golf attire is OK in the clubhouse before 10am, but please bring a shirt, jacket and tie for lunch after the round. Lunch is an additional £24.00 per person and is payable on the day. It really is a feast, so will keep you going until at least bedtime!
Although we had to supply individual names in advance to the club for each fourball, I can't see any reason why we can't have a 'balls-in-the-air' on the morning of the event to decide who's going out with who. Does that sit OK with everyone?
Just to confirm, that those attending are:
DelB
Birchy
Gregbwfc
FairwayDodger
Valentino
SimonS
Neillbro
My mate Murray who's 40th birthday is 10 days after we play!
The booking for both times is held in my name, Derek Brien, just in case you are asked what group you are with when you arrive.
One last thing - pray for a dry day with not too much wind!! :whoo:

As a slight aside, I note that there are only three tee slots left (from the 10th tee on the morning of 26th February) for the winter rate of £110.00, before the summer rate of £195.00 kicks in in Mid March!

Excellent Derek - looking forward to this. Will do my best for a shirt/tie/jacket equivalent outfit! Although maybe I should just drag it up to avoid problems!

Just a small point, but one that's worthy of note all the same - Muirfield do not have an on-site Mars Bar seller, so please stock up with water, juice, Mars bars, bananas or whatever you eat/drink during a typical round BEFORE you arrive at the course. Also, Muirfield branded clothing etc is sold from the Gullane Pro-Shop at the other end of the village, for those who want to buy a wee memento of the day.

Glad I checked this Del, jacket and tie ?
I was just going to saunter into lunch in my waterproofs
.
S'pose I can make the effort.
Looking forward to this, better dust the bats off.
Big thanks again to Del for organising this.

Forecast for next Tuesday (which admittedly could change 20 times before then!!!) is dry, 9mph winds and 6 degrees, so all being well waterproofs can stay in the car. :thup:

I just hope i get that first tee shot away ok, i bet theres been some right nervy tee shots on that first tee
. I bet theyve got a starter and all that malarkey too, dont want him ushering me off after 1 shot!Do you know what tees we will be playing off? That scorecard on the website is a bit confusing! Its whites then half red half yellow then blue?
