Kent or South East mini meet?

[mashleyR7]

Would anyone be up for a mini meet in Kent or the South East?

I've seen adverts for the London club for £75 with breakfast, 18 holes, main meal, free gift and inclusive range balls?
Or The Shire for for a similar deal for £40 each if we get 12 people.

We could go to Princes again? or any other suggestions?

The London Club could be good so long as we do it after a dry spell as it is inclined to stay wet and be closed

 

[Oddsocks]

Could be up for it as I have loads of leave left to be used

 

[mashleyR7]

I'm happy to arrange and sort out if people are up for it.

 

[Oddsocks]

I've heard London club can be sketchy in the winter......

You would probably be better off nearer the coast as a lot of courses north of the Downs, including places like East Sussex National, suffer in the wet weather.

We played London club last march and to be honest I've never seen a course with so much water on it. As we walked along the trollies were creating waves on the fairways. I know the weather isn't their fault but it was a total waste of money. We couldn't believe it was open. I think you can get on Royal St George's in February for about the same money.

I'll be up for it... Wednesdays are best for me if it's midweek.

i might be up for this depending on the date. id ideally like to do it on a wwekend though

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

I could be interested depending on venue.

+1.

 

[Linnets]

Subject to date I would be interested

 

[sawtooth]

Might work for me also depending on where it is.

 

[JustOne]

I would be interested but don't really want to spend £50 (+ petrol) to play in the rain or on a boggy course.

+1. For me it would have to be links as I don't want to take a day off to slop around in the mud. RSG/Cinque ports?

Ok so look like we have good interest in a winter links meet, or at least a club that isn't going to be a muddy field.

I've had a quick look and St Georges is from £95 for their winter society package and Cinque Ports is £65 for a winter green fee. There is also Princes and you can get a nights stay, 2 rounds, diner and breakfast for £110 at the moment.

If the general feeling is that it'll be one of these courses I can look into it further?

 

[richart]

Littlestone do a winter fourball rate of £160, includes soup and a roll. £50 normal winter rate. Never played the course but heard good things.

 

[mashleyR7]

Yes it's a nice course, but no where the standard of Princes, let alone RSG or RCP. I'd be happy to play there again though if the lower price meant more of turnout. The course to get onto would be Rye but it's members invite only.

 

[beck9965]

I would be interested in this as well, weekday or weekend.

Could potentially get my arm twisted for this one depending on where it is, got holidays to use up before 31st Dec so not worried weekend or weekday!
