Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
Please add your interest to represent Golf Monthly against Golf Days UK at Mottram Hall (Cheshire) on Sunday 13th October - Monday 14th October 2013.
12 man team but please continue to state your interest, the more the merrier :thup:
Excellent value for this itinerary
Bacon Roll and drink on arrival
18 Holes on the championship course
Dinner
1 (one) night stay in a twin room at the De Vere Mottram Hall Golf Club
Breakfast
18 holes of golf on the championship course
Only £102.00pp
Format Sunday will be 4-ball Betterball with a tee time around 12noon followed by a Singles Matchplay on Monday with tee times around 08.30hrs. This is excellent timing as it allows those wishing to travel plenty of time, un-rushed, to get their and a comfortable time on the Monday morning to return home at a decent time.
I'm only hearing excellent things about this course and venue.
The De Vere Mottram Hall is a golfing paradise!
The facility boasts an 18 hole Championship, par 72 parkland/woodland course that opened in 1991. The layout was designed by former PGA Captain and Ryder Cup player Dave Thomas, the renowned architect of world famous layouts such as the Brabazon at The Belfry and Slaley Hall in Northumberland.
The golf course is well established and has matured fully since opening. The front nine is set in attractive parkland, whilst the back nine weaves its way through more demanding woodland, representing a challenge for all standards of golfer. Stretching to over 7,000 yards from the Championship tees, the golf course has staged a host of PGA professional events, and also the Kellogg’s Ladies British Masters in 2000 and 2001 – won by Solheim Cup stalwarts Trish Johnson and Paula Marti. The golf course is sand based and drains well.
Please continue to state your interest in representing Golf Monthly at this great event.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
Where are all the northern based golfers who complain about nothing in their area for them to get involved with? Great value at £102 for two days of competitive golf in your area and you aren't getting involved.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
Depends on what you class as "northern based". Manchester isn't exactly prime locale for someone based in the North North.
I said to Robin that this was a good idea but the tee time means an early set-off, long drive to then plat 18 holes. Just doesn't work.

Drive down the day before. Night in a cheap B+B for £20 per head. Even with the exchange rate between the Scottish pound and the English pound you're still only looking at £130 per person for a couple of cracking days of competitive golf.

Did it ever occur to you that the folk who have said they would play are from the north?
And as you suggest about travelling the night before, I don't see any southerners names there.
If your going to be smart, at least do your homework and be consistent.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
According to google maps its 3 hrs 57 from Colchester and the exact same from Edinburgh just as an example. Hardly fair to give northern UK golfers the bird without doing the same for people from the south. Its a bit unfair to bait anyone for not wanting to do a 4 hour maybe more trip each way for a golf do.
If people can come and find the trip appealing enough they will do, its that simple for any golf meet/gathering/trip etc.

I'm not sure how its looking for Golf Days UK but we have definitely stuttered. Come on peeps, lets have a few more, I have asked about golf only if you live on the doorstep but apparently its still a good deal as the food would still be available, so you don't have to stop-over if the wifey won't let you

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
I had assumed that most if not all of those with their names down were based in the north. My comment was a direct response to a previous post from someone in Scotland talking about travelling distances.
But I do accept your point. Come on southern golfers get your names down. Make a three day trip out of it and stop for a practice round somewhere around Birmingham/Nottingham on the way up on the Saturday, cheap B+B overnight and then on to Mottram Hall for the Sunday.

Notwithstanding that I have a family and a job... Can't all just disappear for what would be 3 days whenever we feel like it.

As well as all that..... it's tough up-Narth yer narse.... perhaps too tough for some to meet us half-ways.
Even though, of course, you are extremely welcome

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
Fish, Just a thought about sharing or does it have to be the same individuals on both days?
GreiginFife, If you were interested and wanted to the stay over how about I play the sunday and you drive down sunday afternoon (nice leisurely drive), stay the night, play Monday and then head home?
Fish, I may be able to wangle the Monday away from work however will not know closer to the time, but would certainly be happy to commit for the Sunday and then let someone drive down and use the accommodation offer along with playing on the Monday

Robin, it looks like this is dead in the water for twelve people, is this going ahead or are we knocking it on the head?

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
Yeah.... its not looking good for this one. In fact it seems to be getting increasingly difficult to get folk to commit to meets.... sign of the hard times perhaps. GM is a big forum but seems to still have only a relatively small band of 'active' guys.
Would it work if we had 'friends of' as well??

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK
I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem if someone played on the Sunday with another person taking their place on the Monday and split the costs accordingly to who stayed over etc.
If that's a bit more attractive then lets see a reaction
