I will travel anywhere within reason, was even tempted by the flat cap lot as its in my neck of the woods. It is normally just a case of wrong time/place.

Quinn I am sure next year will be a belter, maybe we should strike up some sort of bi-annual thing with courses etc in advance and get a decent team together just to shut them hdid lot up

Hope so gibbo.i think it was gm that donated the trophy so it would be good to tryand win it back..i think I upset a few people so probably best if somebody else tries organising it.my first go at arrange a game was probably my last .to be honest I only asked if we we're playing it again this year.i didn't expect to have to get a team together.

I'd like to recommend another hidden gem, Walsall GC, just 5 minutes off J7 of the M6(North), or 10 minutes from J9 M6 (South), http://www.walsallgolfclub.co.uk

I'm sure a meal deal could be arranged, I played in a Rotary Club charity day and could not have been looked after any better

Walsall is very nice but I think there are far better tracks in the area like Ladbrook Park, Maxstoke, Kings Norton to name just 3. We are blessed with a lot of good courses in the Midlands area so coming to the Coventry area again I don't think is an issue, personally.

Do not take it personal Quinn and I am sure with a better geographical location, higher standard of course and date you would have had more interest. Last year was a success as 2 of the 3 criteria was met in choosing a good date and geographical location.

One thing I have noticed on here is that people will travel any day, anywhere, for the right golf course at a good price. But when you are asking people to travel long distances on a Friday round some of the busiest roads in England, to a course that is only ranked 8th in Worcestershire, then it is not going to wet many appetites.

Luffenham Heath is not a bad option either, top 100 course in England. Just off the A1 and A47 makes it easy access for most to get to.

Closer for me but adds an hour to anyone Liverpool/Manchester side but, as you say, if its a top track, then they'll come. What you may lose from the North, you gain in the south as it's such an easy corridor from the Capital and home counties.

Can't please them all can you Robin. But you must try and please as many as possible if you want a good turn out. At least a location like that means that people from up the north East of the country can make it easy enough, along with the home counties boys and London boys.

Would be nice to see some North East boys at a meet. M1/A1 corridor with links from the M69, M42, A14 isn't a bad shout. Its a dead 3hr run from Geordie land.

Nothing to do with being closer to you though

What you trying to say Robin?

 

[fundy]

Looks a decent option Adey, if it doesnt suit for this then you can organise a mini meet there

Ranked 8th???? its 7th and having play the others imo it could should be 3rd or 4th.
And have noticed your course isnt even in the top ten in your county so dont go on about quality
of courses. the only decent courses you play is when you play away from your track!!!

Sour grapes on here if you ask me. its clear you dont like the white wash you keep getting.

Rant over.

Keep getting? Hmmm, better go do some homework then.

Several major count events get held at my place every year so it can't be that bad. But to be honest your opinion really is not of that much interest to me, so go back to HDID and tell them all about it.

I just can't figure out why so many people are not rushing to play golf with the lads from HDID :mmm:

I do wonder if all the rubbish that was spouted on here last time has also put people off this event. It certainly has for me. I've not seen much since that would convince me to do it again.

I have travelled a long way to many meets, the furthest away being goswick at 6 hours so it's not the travelling putting me off!

That's the reason I have no interest.
