GM Ryder Cup Scotland v England 2011

[Dodger]

That was my thought. Room for a couple more if anyone is travelling up on the Thusday and fancies a round to break up the trip. Stoke Rochford is actually on the A1 North so will not involve any diversion. In fact the SatNav route from there to Berwick is 'Turn left on to the A1 and follow the road for 5 hours'

Had another idea for an en route game. a mate who has played there recommended Flaxby Park. It's about an hour and a half from Grantham, easy access off the A1. Being that bit further north opens it up to other travellers. It is a pretty new course with mounded fairways that add a bit of mystery. I think it has the added advantage that it takes Greenfree (and 2-for-1) - and I have one to use (I've sent an email to check with the course).

If you need any more 241 vouchers for the trip let me know and I will send you what you need down to you Steve.

Cheers, dodger

I would be up for that. To be honest some where a bit further north would be better for me as breaks the journey up

Marked my first card for Goswick handicap purposes today. 14. Not too bad considering the swing changes and terrible greens!

Will have another marked wednesday.

You can have a knock at my track if you want. It is at the side of A1, Tony mentioned it but I thought he might fancy somewhere different

Dave, That could work too - but where is it? I had you over the to the west

 

[GB72]

If it is the same place as I played the NE v NW match then it is about an hour from Grantham straight up the A1.

If you really wanted to break up the journey Steve you are welcome to stop off at mine for a cofee on the way then we could head for Yorkshire in convoy

vmt - though I'm already stopping in Melton for the cheese.

see what comes up - not heard back from Flaxby yet

I'm more than happy to play your place Dave, I enjoy it.. and its been a while. Even better if we can get a couple of forummers to join us.

I would be intersted. If Steve is in we have a 4 ball

Over to you Steve?

The detour from the direct route is all of 400yds

That could feel like more to some of us

Good news. Any thoughts on a time. I know it is a few weeks away but I am off on holiday at the weekend and not back until the day before.

still don't know where!

What is it from your place to Berwick, Dave? 2 - 2.5 hours? I'd suggest teeing off before midday, maybe 11'ish if we can all make it. It gets us to Berwick for pie and a pint.

 

[GB72]

If I remember rightly it is the Mid Yorkshire Golf Club. Probably looking another 3 hours plus to Berwick but I am just guessing.
