I would be up for this but its the day before our 36 hole championship, so don't fancy 2 and a half hour drive getting home late at night then having to be up very early next morning for 36 holes.

A bit of a trek. Also, playing at my company annual golf event on 15th July at West Hill. Will be difficult to take 2 days off that week..
For that reason, I am out..

1500 views = 2 players.dont be shy get your names down.Its an open invite to anybody.your all welcome to play.we played last year and want this to be a annual event.Would be a shame to have to cancel it due to not being able to get a team out.

You forget that it is during the school holidays and people have probably already got those dates booked off. I know with my bosses, they are not keen on letting people have the odd day off during those peak holiday periods.
They can be as "not keen" as they like, holiday day/s are an entitlement and as long as sufficient notice is given, its tough. I had a lad work for me who took a run of Fridays & Mondays off over a 2 month period, bloody nightmare it was and I couldn't do jack about, even cost me £120 to take professional advice.

They are 'weekend warriors' as you like to call them, as they find it difficult to play during the week. I think there are several reasons that it is difficult to find a team:
1: Trying to get days off in peak holiday season at this short notice.
2: People are not keen on tackling the M6 on a Friday afternoon.
3: That course is best part of 2 1/2 to 3 hours away from Woking, Leeds, Manchester, Peterborough, Luton and that is not taking into account the Friday traff
4: Not sure how fantastic the course is, but it is not a course that excites me enough to make the long trip.
5: For me to play a 1pm tee off down there I will need to leave at about 8:30am to allow for any traffic and to get some lunch on arrival. By the time we have finished and I get away it is going to be gone 9pm when I get home. I am sure others are in this position.[/QUOTE
So you not up for it then adey? thought you might wana get revenge on the little fella they call BOO))
And just for the record it is a fine course and well worth making the effort mate, you wouldnt be disapointed.

Fair point mate.but we did it in august last year.can understand why lads from last year dont fancy it, but surely we can get twelve from a forum with so many members.its only a friendly knock.

If it wasn't for my holiday, and the fact 19th July is my wedding anniversary I'd be up for this, just bad timing for me.

I think that the location is not really helping either. Taking it all the way over the West side of the M5 looks to be putting a lot of people off. I do not want to stick my nose in too much Quinn, as I have said I am not interested in playing. Have you thought of seeing if people would be more interested if you moved it across the country a bit more.

To be honest its not the location.hdid have got lads coming from scotland to play . Thought we'd easily get twelve of us to play. I'll be playing anyway and I think bigfoot is still keen.popped into the course today to have a look and for £25 its a bargain.cracking course.and they have carling

the joys of being a number in a big corperation lol. I hope you do get a team and honestly thought there would be a bigger uptake.
