It is a cracking course, that goes under the radar. Facilities are fantastic, and the food always great. We will get the course to ourselves.:thup:
I'm local so if you don't get too many takers I'd love a game there

Yeh it's nice enough, best thing is it's playable all year round so shouldn't be any problems in October. Ladies day is Thursday's as far as I'm aware so Tuesday should be fine.
We get a reduced rate at your place so I've been fortunate to play there a few times now, comes 2nd of the courses I've played only behind St. Georges Hill.

Just checked the diary Phil, ladies day is definitely Thursday, maybe they've changed it this year. Don't tend to play much midweek apart from the summer so I wouldn't know.

Yes, we have a reciprocal with you. Only played WB a couple of times with my golf society. For some reason they have stopped going, which is a shame as I like the course. Reminds me of North Hants in places.
If you fancy a game at Blackmoor let me know. We have similar drainage to you.
Let me know. Very keen on this

Just keep them away from Pennyhill Park.
Had to Google it first just to see what it was. If they see that then they will defo be up for staying there and more than likely relegate us to the Travelodge.

The charity website will go live around Apr/May. At this point, those that want to play will go on line and pay a deposit. This guarantees their place. There will be space for between 90-100 players.
Historically, all those that want to play have got a game and we usually end up having to scramble towards the end to make up the numbers.
We limit it initially to forum members only (plus any guest that have played previously). Then we open it up to guests and we usually give preference to anyone that has to travel a long way for petrol savings.
From my recollection, everyone that has wanted to play has always secured a place.
When I do create the charity page, I'll announce it in the evening to give most people an even chance to secure their place.
If history is to be repeated, there will be a mad flurry at the start to take us to around 50 players, then it will die off as people join in dribs and drabs.
Around August/September, we'll get another surge as we open it up to guests and HFH Fever sets in...
Then end of September, Rich and I start panicking as we will only have around 70 players and we'll get the usual comments to open it up to Twitter and Facebook to get more numbers.....(which we always resist)
This is also usually the time when people start to pull out for various reasons (mostly genuine):rofl: We'll see around 5-10 pull outs.
Around this time forummers will frantically bid to play with the GM staff and hopefully Rick and Pete again...
Then at the start/mid October it all comes together and those holding out come out of the woodwork to fill the final few slots.
On the day, despite being told to get there early as its a shotgun start and being warned about the M25 car park, there will be 3 or 4 that are late which means I will also be late to my groups tee as I wait for them and show them where to go...
Eventually we will all tee off, have a great time, raise a load of cash, have a giggle at Nasher buying his own stuff back at the auction, pig out on fabulous food, buy fabulous gifts and 4 ball vouchers at the auction, find out who the biggest bandit (sorry winner) was, listen intently my short speech,
Then some bright spark will ask when is next years event!!!
When do you get time to play golf?

We'd like to reciprocate for the hospitality you showed us in taking us to Liverpools "hottest" nightclub last year so we've booked this for the Sunday evening for you...
