Kent winter meet up

[chrisd]

Good idea re the 27 holers needing to get out first.

Do we have any low handicaps?

Its probably a good idea to list playing handicaps

[mashleyR7]

ha ha I'm the highes so far.

 

[Dorian]

I will only be there for the 18 holes. As for handicap: haven't got one. Never played anything longer than a decent pitch 'n' putt, and my driving is ok-ish down the range. So I'll leave it up to the more experienced players to work out what to do with me

Hi Dorian,
I don't want you to take this the wrong way but if you've never played a full course is a windy wet links course the best place to start. I want you to enjoy your first proper round of golf. Id even think twice about this if I was playing badly recently.

 

[USER1999]

Princes is a proper test of golf.

Bring a lot of golf balls, and don't waste too much time looking for them, or it will be dark before we finish.

Last time out, I played with a 16 h/capper, who lost 14 balls.

This isn't your average golf course.

Well, if everyone else is ok with it I'm still happy to go ahead. Might be a bit slower than others but I love a challenge - and at least it can't get any worse on my next round!

ok we might have a problem Dorian - with a lot of clubs they ask for a handicap certificate when you check in. I will find out first thing in the morning. I guess its understandable being the weekend and everything - it's a busy, popular course both for members and visitors. Let's see. It'd be a shame as you're so enthusiastic. I also agree that Princes can be pretty extreme. You wouldn't want it to put you off golf forever would you!

 

[wookie]

27 holes for me please. Still off 20

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Unfortunately im going to have to pull out. went to the docs today and have been told i have a chest infection, and all the signs of glandular fever, third time this year!

Gutted, but im sure you will agree, a coastal course is no place for someone already ill.

if dorian or anyone else can fill my place then bonus, if not il happily pay whatever deposit has been paid for my spot.

sorry guys, was looking forward to it

Well, as I say, I'm game - all things permitting. If it's not to be then it's not to be.

My first experience of golf was being thrashed on a pretty long shore-side p-n-p course. That's what has driven me to practice and fall in love with the game. I have to start somewhere - not too fussed whether it's an extreme course. Been practicing my shot-shaping and low ball flight for this meet specifically!

Still!

What have you been doing man?

Well, I hit a high draw. What ever the conditions. It's too late to worry about it now. It is what it is.
