GM London Regional Qualifier

Right we have 7 people possibly interested.

Two suggestions, Sandy Lodge and The Grove. Personally, I'd pay £60 to play the grove.

How about Friday 27th February at the Grove???? Thier website says maximum 2x4 balls per booking so we can cover this with just the 7 of us, or make multiple bookings under different names?

That would suit me. The Grove.

Think it would be £80 on a Friday.
 
Just another one to throw in the ring.
Orsett Golf Club???
http://www.orsettgolfclub.com/

I played in a seniors open here a couple of years ago, and it's a lovely track. Nice and tight (in places), very well manicured, really good greens and drains well.
Easy access from the M25, literally through the pipe, hang a right and you're there.
Could even get a spot of shopping in at Lakeside while you are in the area!!

They are advertising a winter fourball offer at £41.00 per person to include either a breakfast or light lunch.

Might even be tempted myself

The Shire looks good value for money but don't you think it might be a bit of a "slog" at the end of February??
Course reviews are mixed, a lot of walking between greens and tees, and if the weather turns it could be a right mare.
I'm not saying Orsett is the be all and end all, far from it. But it is a lovely tree lined course, and at least might offer some respite from the weather if the going got really tough. And it's yardages suggest it could be enjoyed by the average Joe (myself ;))
Just something to think about.
 
I don't mind where we play provided it isn't too pricey. The Grove will be in great condition at the end of February, as will the Shire.

My home club is Orsett if you fancy a knock around, built on sand so drains very well.

That's very nice of you Beck. I'd love to have a game around there again.
As I say, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I pulled into the car park and had a good look around before I tee'd off.
A bit disconcerting at the time as it was blowing a gale on the day and your course does have a lot of trees!
I just remember it was in lovely condition and the greens were really good. Lots of bunkers too.
Maybe we could get another couple of forumers to make up a fourball???

I could be interested depending on when, years since I've played there.

One more then and I'll get the ball rolling.
 
If we are talking midweek then a Wednesday is best for me. Weekends it would have to be a Sunday as I work every Saturday.

Weekdays are best for me too, weekends are a bit tight as there are quite a few big swindles that go out so it would be after 13:00 before we could get on the course, so how about a Wednesday in Dec or Jan?

As long as we avoid Wednesday 10th December as I am at royal cinque ports on the Monday of that week I'd personally be good to go.
