Golf Monthly V Golf Days UK

[jchubs]

Hi all,

Before this gets shot down, I have permission from Mike H to post this:

As some if you know, we run three amateur tours - Norfolk, Essex and Surrey.
Recently, we had a Ryder cup style match against another amateur tour outfit, Golfing Days at De Vere Belton Woods - some may have seen the review posted on here a few weeks back!
Anyway, we want to arrange another team golf competition and would like to invite the forum to put together a team to take on Team GDUK!

This is a fantastic format of golf, fourballs on the Sunday and singles matchplay on the Monday, something us regular golfers don't often get the opportunity to play!

I am thinking of a date in late September and at a venue to be decided.

All we need at the moment is to see if there is sufficient interest from the forum and ideally someone to take the role of captain to gather your team of 12 together! We will then devise the package and venue for those interested to consider!

Look forward to your responses and whether a team from the forum would like to take on team Golf Days UK!

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Well there are still another 28 days in September to choose from and many more than 44 members who look in and contribute to the forum who can't can't attend Woburn for various reasons, so for those reasons, I'm in, if available on the day that gets chosen that is :thup:

If the organising is anything like how they run their Surrey Tour days, it will be an excellent event

I think the area you choose to hold it in will be critical to the response you'll get.

+1, comes down to actual day and where it is, until we know that it's hard to commit.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Hi Guys,

Thank you for posting so far which is good as it shows a bit of interest!

Having seen what is posted above, I think we are going to aim for the 6th/7th or 13th/14th October 2013. This is a Sunday/Monday deal and I will now start looking into a suitable venue.

The approximate cost will be around the £120pp mark to include two rounds, accommodation, dinner and breakfast, depending on the venue. We are a golf tour operator so I know we will secure a good deal for everyone. We will arrange a trophy to play for also!

When I put the package together, I will do two options, one with a Nike team shirt and one without - ideally team GM will all wear the team shirts to make it a real 'team' atmosphere! But this will be an option and you guys can decide what you want to do.

Some of you may have seen the review from before and Team GDUK is sponsored by Loudmouth Golf and as such we have some amazing outfits that will be on display in our team!

Here is a picture of our winning team at Belton Woods a few weeks back...

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Well the 6th/7th is out for me as I will be defending my trophy at West Hill for the Help for Heroes day.

The 13th/14th is good to go though, dependent on the area? :thup:

Are you putting yourself forward as GM team captain Fish!?

Probably looking at the following options:

The Oxfordshire
Forest of Arden
St Pierre
Carden Park
Mottram Hall
Abbotsley

These are potential and I will start to build the package and I think we will aim for the 13th/14th October depending on what is available.

I don't mind stepping up to the plate :thup:

Let me do some research on those courses, I know of most of them but I want to look at who's going where and when before the date as that could be a defining point in putting a decent team together. Personally I'm swayed towards Mottram Hall as I don't think many NW/NE guys (& gals) are attending Woburn or H4H's so that location could create more interest.

You can't be very confident if you're building yourself a replica!!

I'd have to win it 10 times to keep it, is that a reality :mmm:

Happy to have had my name on it first, if I can get it on there again, even better :thup:

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Mottram Hall on they dates interest me for sure, thought it would be Sat/Sun though?

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

OK, I'm going to start a running list of those interested in Mottram Hall as I think with everything that has been going on down sarf we should be able to get a good representation from the northern side of the country for this.

A fuller detailed package will be announced at a further time but for now the rough outline will be.

13th/14th October 2013

The approximate cost will be around the £120pp to include two (2) rounds of golf at Mottram Hall, overnight accommodation, dinner and breakfast.

There will also be a trophy to play for :thup:

Please show your interest even if you cannot full confirm 100% at this time, thank you.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

I fancy this Robin, I reckon it could be a good meet with all 12 staying onsite. I'll have to see how the land lies with the Missus though with it being a few weeks after the York trip. :thup:

A bit similar for me. No premiership matches that weekend so should be ok for both days, but I would travel over each day.

I understand if you give a priority to people staying over, but if you need someone to step in for one or even both days, defo interested at the mo,Cap'n.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

I agree Dave, with everyone on site its what makes a good meet.
