About 3.45 from Kings X to Berwick...about 80/90 notes unless we can get the 4-ball saver which might make it cheaper....

Am going to have to practise my serious asslicking for SWMBO
(you know,small things like washing windows,ironing,dishes,painting-whole house-gardening,hoovering,skirting boards,hob,Why,OH WHY do I go through this........TO BE THERE AND PLAY(and yes have a few swallows..purely convivial of course)
Oh and I've got to buy SWMBO a huge diamond ring for Xmas!
Anyone else have this hassle for a weekend away???
Goswick is good for me as it's a really good track(played there before--really good,Dodger is right!)

The more I think of it, Goswick would be better for me as it has a direct train link down the east coast.
Toad could drive it.
"The Venga Train is coming and everyone ......sorry.

Err,seem to have some communication problems with SWMBO,
She does'nt seem to grasp the male bonding(drinking)concept?
She say's shell miss me<>?!
I think this is a cunning ploy on her part to come along and ruin my life(and yours as well!)
We cannot allow females!!(sorry AliB etc)Not personal!!

htl may well be a youngster whos licence doesn't allow him to drive some classes of vehicle that us more mature gents may well be able to drive.
My wife has had to drive the school minibus 'cause the PE teacher cant drive a 17 seater.

Right OK - dodger how many can you get on at Berwick on a Friday and/or a Saturday and how much it is?
Let see if we can actualy get on and then worry about the logistics......

It is in hand,should be no problems with numbers or indeed getting on but need to pop down to the club and see club Sec to iron out a deal.I will get a price for 18 friday and same Saturday based on say 16 of us.I think everything is still up in the air at the moment re what format/how many holes/rounds/days/dates/do we want food at club after round etc etc so bear with me as I will liase with JF and DCB and try and set up a price and programme ASAP.Also waiting to see if any GM Staff may come too.

Would be good to do the Saturday but not the friday if anyone needs transport I'm fairly central in Liverpool and can get 3 and clubs in my car.

I would say 8 a side is a maximum and a good number too....if it's feb then I doubt more than one round a day would be possible unless we break out the night balls.......

Craig also has a baby due at the start of March....
Picture the scene....
cm_qs: " Guess what, I'm going away for the weekend to play golf. Will you be okay looking after our two existing small children whilst 8 and a half months pregnant with number 3? Don't worry, if you should go into labour early just get a taxi to the hospital, with the kids, and text me! I'll pick up my messages when I come off the course. It'll be fine"
Mrs cm_qs : " I want a divorce.....and custody of the kids ....and the house.....and the pets.....and all your money ..... and your genitals on a plate. Have a nice time at the golf!"
On reflection......."I'm out"

Craig,
What...you mean your wife can't caddy for you when she's 8 months pregnant? Look at Fanny Sunneson. She does it all the time.
Seriously, congrats on the 3rd to be. You'll have the perfect fourball when you're in your dotage, sir.
Cheers
