So as you can see, it is looking a definite "goer".

As for the numbers, I wouldn't worry too much at the moment. I can guarantee that once a venue and date are decided on you will start getting people pulling out so a natural balance will be found.
I still reckon 16 a side would be favourite, and the Golf Magic lads are definitely up for a "Ryder Cup" style event.

Three more players for the GolfMagic site expressed their interest this morning so.....

With regards the venue, Woodhall Spa has been mentioned by a lot of people, but I am open to all suggestions. It would be ideal though if we could find somewhere that either has, or is close to, reasonably priced accommodation as quite a few people (myself included) will be travelling quite some distance to make this meet.
From a personal viewpoint (and again taking the travelling distance into account) I would much rather pay a little extra and play a really nice, established course rather than a relatively unknown one just to try to keep the price down. One of the reasons for looking at this so far in advance is so that the players have a fair bit of time to book sufficient time off work and also to save up a few bob to pay for it! Hope that makes sense???

Date dependent I'm in

I would have thought that if players are coming from far and wide, somehere in the middle of britain would be preferable, say Derbyshire ish.
Handy for A1 M1
Has anyone played the Derby Golf Club?

Looks quite nice mate.

Have you ever played Breadsall Priory around that way Bob?
I've made a couple of visits over the last few years, quite a nice track with a good hotel, but don't know how expensive it is as they have both been "corporate days" so didn't have to pay.
Hotel is quite posh (which could rule it out price wise)

[bobmac]

Admittedely the site looks a little....plain.
Thats why I asked has anyone played the course.
Not wanting to judge the book by its cover and all that.
I'm sorry to say I haven't played Breadshall. looks a bit pricey again though

I know Bob.
I'm looking around, don't worry.
We'll find somewhere that
a) Has accommodation
b) Is reasonably priced
c) Won't run out of lemonade

 

[Billy]

b) Is reasonably priced

Subject to PGA schedule? whats gong on here then, am I going to have to call in reinforcements

 

[KeefG]

Anyone ever played Owston Hall near Doncaster?

That looks very reasonably priced on the website @ £110 for 2 rounds, dinner, bed & breakfast.

I dare say we'd be able to get a lower price than that too for the amounts going.
