Great news Greg. :thup:

Just a quick update for those attending who have a bit of money burning a hole in their pocket.

Tomorrow I should be taking delivery of a brand new, shiny set of Orka GS5 Tour SC irons. For those wanting a comparison to the more 'mainstream' brands, this is seen as a similar option to the Titleist AP2. The heads are forged and they are a lovely looking iron. Alex is making up a set for the day but has also added that he will do a proper fitting on the irons if required and change the shafts etc as necessary.

I will post pictures and start an auction thread once I have received them but, with the vagaries of couriers etc I do not want to start the ball rolling until they are in my hands.

These should raise a big chunk of cash and are a 'big ticket item' so I thought I would give as much advance notice as possible for those thinking of changing their irons.

after seeing Philthefraggers 13 point haul on the Dukes course Woburn last week I thought you may have one new and one used set to auction!

No, that is pretty normal, you should have seen his scores before he got decent clubs

 

[rickg]

Greg, does he still need the logos emailing to him?

No he is making up and sending the actual clubs rather then doing a voucher and has sent me an Orka flyer confirming that he will re-fit them as necessary so I have everything here and printed off.

He is also sending 6 Orka bag towels but he will not have the delivery in time as they are a new product. If you take the address of whoever wins them and pass them on Alex will send them direct.

Will these also be *clears throat* custom fit?

Thanks Kevin.....whats his handicap? Presume you want to play together?

 

[KevinC]

Thanks Kevin.....whats his handicap? Presume you want to play together?

Yes,sorry 17 is his handicap and we'll play together if that's OK

 

[rickg]

It's perfect....your group had dropped down to a 3 ball so your timing is perfect. :thup:

I'll think about publishing an initial draw later, but I'm really concerned I'll just end up rehashing it due to all the late pull outs..(around 2 a day for the last few days).

6 spaces still up for grabs if anyone can help out?

 

[Swingalot]

Rick,
Sorry if this has been asked already, but is the rate for late entries the same as before? Have a few I could ask, but want to ensure I get the figures right when I send out the email.

[Foxholer]

It is a top club, that is for sure.

Not sure it's one for the Scots though.

Boards all over the place!

Good man! :thup:

 

[full_throttle]

I doubt I will be sitting down for anything to eat, due to work I need to be home early, still waiting on a price for the golf only,

 

[Rooter]

Rick, don't worry about grouping me with my guests if it's a problem. We are all big boys and not intimidated by playing with knobs like smiffy! In fact last time I played with him, I nearly killed him with a shanked 9 iron!!!
