Golf Monthly V Golf Days UK

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Well this is looking more and more like a damp squid Not even with the offer of splitting the days between 2 players has increased a single further player so as far as this venue is concerned, its a non-starter.

I specifically went for the more northern of the courses believing that it would get a decent reaction, especially when all you hear is "down sarf again" etc but unfortunately the uptake on this thought process has failed miserably.

I'm not sure if its still on for an 8 versus 8, Golfing Days will have to answer that but in case it is, can the 7 other names please confirm their availability still.

If their are further drop-outs from the 7 names already then possibly a change of venue, even at this late stage may yield 12 names? I don't know TBH but the furthest south course is The Oxfordshire but I feel I'm clutching at straws.

Opinions please or is this ready for room 101?

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

I think its looking a damp squid mate. Theres a lot of people on here who love golf and talk about it but theres not that many looking to go to meets etc unfortunately unless GM organise it imo.

Its not just this meet, everything on here is struggling to get decent numbers at the moment from what I can see.

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

allow me to clarify my position having had a say. This event takes place on my birthday and was problematic for me due to the time of having to set off then play a full 18. As I had said I wouldn't then be attending due to that fact, my wife organised something for me (what I don't know yet), this was before the concept of splitting the days was mooted and therefore, while a good idea and a welcome suggestion, came too late for me to then cancel on a surprise that the wife has organised.
While I love my golf, there are certain things on my person that I love even more and would much like them to remain on my person.

Have to say I agree with this totally, maybe it's the Monday thats the issue more than anything else

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Had I not been away with work on the dates concerned, I'd have definitely registered an interest at least.

Sorry.

TBH I don't think GM has got over both the whoopings they received both North & south of the border from the "Golfers" over on HDID both matches were a whitewash and not even a single, sorry half point was obtained for Team GM. This must have a bearing on any other team matches that GM consider playing in and hence the reason you can't get a team together Robin. It's a shame really if you ask me

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

To be honest, I didn't think it was north enough to catch the interest of any Scottish members so thank you for your comments but I did think it would get some interest from the general North (Heartlands), North Midlands and possible North East areas but hey ho.

You really should sell your clubs and buy the latest exploits of J. R Hartleys Fly fishing adventures.

Further more, the English silverware is currently sitting in the home of a GM member but not much of that was aired on HDID although if the roles were reversed, I'm sure it would have been mentioned at every opportunity everywhere unlike the gracious way the winning pair have conducted themselves on here.

Your the noisy neighbours when it suits you but your 1 trophy short currently and the time will come when the GM Scottish contingent will have that also

Hey... good on yer.... surely you can get someone to share that longish journey South??

Re: Team Golf against Golf Days UK

Right - I might be able to make this - will discuss with HID tonight.

P.S - I had to get to the bottom of the thread to confirm the dates etc. Could explain why the uptake is bad - might be an idea to put the Dates for this meet in the title

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

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

Alas - the lady hath spoken. After some debate this looked like a go-er but its a bit too far north to be a halfway house for us on our way to holyhead. She also not keen on 2 straight days of golf as I plan to play golf when I get to Dublin!

She did suggest bringing the mother in law - which ended the discussion completely

good luck Gents
