GM King Of Kings Competition 2014

[pbrown7582]

Sorry but not in Jan Feb or March. Not going to pay out fees and petrol money ( no courses chosen near this area ) to play on courses still getting over the winter.

We're all hoping you are you going to sign us in at Woburn for a fiver!

:lol:

Sorry missed that. Sorry I got a wedding to organise

But for good deals both Mentmore and Whittlebury are doing some good deals at the moment.

Think Whittlebury are doing a £30 quid 27 hole plus ham egg and chips during the week ( during the summer it's a BBQ )

Mentmore were doing £40 for 18 plus bacon and ham eggs etc after

 

[fundy]

Wedding more important than golf, surely not Can usually play whittlebury unlimited for £20 on a monday (assume the offer still exists), wouldnt be rushing to play mentmore this time of year as gets too wet, always deals about for there too

Yeah the Monday deal still exists but think it's the BBQ one during the summer with the extra tenner

Mentmore currently doing some good membership rates - think its a grand a year plus gym for one membership

The top course ( can never remember which one is which in terms of names ) usually drains ok - playing next Friday on some Xmas thing

The Bedford is very good during the winter

 

[mikee247]

Is there no regional being done in the South Central areas? So covering Berks, Surrey, Wilts and Hants etc? Seems a shame as that's a big area with quite a few members and some of the best courses in the UK I would imagine...... At the moment theres one in Taunton and another in London. approx 100 miles to each is a little to far on my push bike

I got offered what was effectively half price membership at Mentmore last yr and turned it down, courses just not quite good enough to justify the journey and its become overly corporate there for my tastes, a couple of the better players from our place took the deal up and looks as though both are looking to return in the spring.

Agree re the Bedford, tend to play in most of their winter pro-am series, next ones a few days before xmas which is always a good fun day weather permitting

There is one in Kenilworth and Lincoln

But agree there should be one in the central area

The problem I believe though is the timings because i think the central area will have the courses most hit with the weather.

I put out a shout for as many as regional co-ordinators and can only work with those who came forward to organise something. 100 miles really isn't THAT far for a game of golf with people as hilarious as forum members

I would hope that someone would be able to offer you a lift and share petrol money. Come on people, who lives near mikee!!!!!?

Totally agree about the corporate feeling there - it's a shame because it has the potential to be a wonderful club but it won't happen - too much politics

Yeah seen them advertised at the Bedford - we have some spring pro Ams in mid feb time £240 a team i think

Where do you play your golf ?

100 miles each way ?! No thanks - unless playing a course in its prime. That's 3/4 hours travelling plus petrol money

Well volunteered mike! When are we playing at Donnington grove?

You don't really think this do you? Why don't you tell us more about why you think it's a problem? You've never raised this point before on any thread, have you?

Excellent input

These are the current areas with organisers in England.



Personally think there could be two more put in where I've put the black spots but wouldn't want much more than that as numbers would drop at events already being arranged.

Better to have 20 people at 5 events that 10 at 10 events IMHO?

Am at Aylesbury Vale currently. Not the worlds greatest track but decent value and a good crowd of lads. Dads a member at Brocket Hall so tend to get down there a fair bit, including the winter pro-ams, them and the ones at the Bedford enough in winter for me

So people in the Home Counties and central areas need to travel to London or Kenilworth
