ITINERARY FOR WOODHALL SPA 16th/17th APRIL.

I may be wrong,but if your club is affiliated to the EGU,you should have an I.D.number, if you do forget your certificate surely EGU can punch it up on computer to confirm??????? Looking forward to next week.
 
Is anyone passing nearby Hatfield, Hertfordshire that I can share a lift with? Obviously I'm willing to contribute towards petrol costs.
 
I can make a diversion - PM sent

What a star!! :D

Getting so excited about it....my game finally reappeared this weekend!!!!! Missed out on a board competition by 1 point yesterday with 38 points and we won our opening scratch match today and I had a nice little 2&1 win. I was 1 over gross on Friday night after work before a silly bogie/double bogie finish.

The game is in a happy place again! :D

Thought that this was the reason for the EGU handicap card.
It has your club and ID number on it.
 
After playing like a burk around AW's course on Friday, I had 35 points on Saturday in the swindle, and then buffered with a net 74 in yesterdays medal. (The first comp of the year off the full course, but had a few sillies, missing the ball completely when tapping in a 1/2" putt, and trebling the 125 yard par 3 ninth). Parachute before Woodhall perhaps?

Worrying thing is I might have put my back out again trying JustOnes 'Bubba' swing. Got 5 days to fix it (before I put it out again at the weekend, always something to look forward to).

Have got a print out of a h/cap certificate, but it isn't signed by any one. Hope that will do, or maybe I should invent a signature to put on it. Mr D. Duck Esq. General Manager.
 
I don't have a handicap cert, that said, I am sure it will be fine.

I've never been asked but I usually play with members. My mate tells me it depends who's in the pro shop when you check in. I'm sure you'll be fine though.

just becuase you can rifle a 2 iron into a par 5 at St Georges and drain the eagle putt and then go round the course nearly level par doesn't prove you can play golf.....for all they know you might be a right hacker!! :D :D

Probably best if you just come along and caddy for the real golfers :o :D :D

Looking forward to seeing you again mate! :D
 
The h/cap cert isn't just to show you can play a bit (24 h/cap limit on the Hotchkin I believe), but also to show that you are a member of a club who are members of the EGU. There is a discount in place for members of clubs who pay to be in the EGU. Without the h/cap cert, you may have to pay full whack, even as a 'scratch' golfer. That said, it only appears to be another £10 per round.

If you can get a cert, proably best to take one with you.
 
@Bobmac,

For those of us coming up from the South, up the A1, what is the best route to use off the A1?

I'm asking as my satnav will take me off down a bridle way, and we won't get there til Wednesday.

Most of the routes look to use piddly little lanes (not good in my hearse), but some must be bigger than others?

I know my name's not bob, but I feel I'm qualified to help!

-Come off the A1 at Colsterworth towards Ancaster (Sign posted Colsterworth/Ancaster B6403) just after the "Colsterworth Roundabout (with the Jubilee Service Station on your right hand side)

-Follow the B6403 (otherwise known as "High Dike") all the way to Ancaster.

-When you hit the crossroads at Ancaster (just after you pass a big effin' tank on your right hand side), go right towards Sleaford.

-You then want to follow signs to Skegness (A153) until you get to Tattershall Village. When you get to Tattershall, you'll see signs for Woodhall Spa, follow them. It's about a 5 minute drive from there.

Route Map Here

There is another route, which is slightly more direct which takes you past Old Bob's house in Cranwell, but there's ALOT more windy country roads involved and it's alot less straight forward...This way is just a quick if you don't know the roads.

Any questions, let me know. Happy to help!

As I was bored I phoned Woodhall Spa today about this. They assure me that if anyone forgets their certificate, or doesn't have one yet, provided they can prove they are members of a club then it will be no problem to play. So if you have bag tags, membership details, county card or a note from your club (i.e. 'Please sir, let little [name] play on your lovely course as he is a frightfully upstanding chap') then you'll be fine!
