Wrong date for me as I hope to be playing Royal Aberdeen that day.

I think you need to mention the dress rules to people though as they are quite strict at Little Aston.

Hope you have a good one.

The dress code is given here :-

However Iain mentioned that we would probably be eating lunch in the casual bar, so no need to change clothes for lunch. (the other bits are just normal in my eyes or am I missing something?)

while i would love to come along, not having a club handicap certificate may cause issues

Hi By all means if you wish to add you name to the list, next time I speak to Iain then I will double confirm it isn't a problem.

To be honest he did mention handicap certificates to Joanne on the phone and then was like, normally you should have them but its not normally a problem (what I assumed he meant is that ensure that they are actually golf players and not complete hackers like my wife is(50 plus I hasten to add)! Have to say I have never been asked for a handicap cert when I have played at any clubs or my playing partners)

hope that helps.

Would have been all over this if it wasn't on my wedding anniversary

 

[Deleted member 21258]

Thanks for the replies, I think this sadly is a no goer due to the min no was 12 to book up in advance. Something isn't popular about it, not sure what?

Thanks again.

It is a shame - I think it could be a few reasons

1. Price
2. It's 36 holes
3. My name is down

 

[Fish]

I agree with the above but not in that order 😜

 

[huds1475]

Sorry to hear.

I fancied this but 36 holes, + travelling to/from Manchester, makes it too long a day when I have work the day after.

 

[Fish]

Darren, I'll be honest if I may, it's not a criticism so please don't take it that way.

Firstly, 36 holes will only appeal to a smaller amount of people, people will be interested but having to travel for 1 hour (or more) to play a decent course, it just becomes far too long a day for them, also you have those that 36 holes just becomes a bit hard work nowadays.

A deal is always nice to see, Little Aston's day ticket is £135, so that has left £15 for a bacon roll & tea on arrival with lunch, which for £15 is about right, a £5/£10 split, so at face value there isn't much of a deal on the table and £150 isn't a figure everyone can quickly pull out of their pocket towards the end of possibly a busy season and if travelling it becomes a £200 day!

I think if you readdressed it for 18 holes, don't bother with a bacon roll on arrival, people will buy a drink if they want one, just go for some sandwiches & chips afterwards, keep it simple and get it for around £95 (ticket price) or lower so the food is free, I think you'd see a substantial interest in people taking part.

Just my tuppence mate, obviously I can't comment on the 3rd point made above, but with more names on the list the more any potential personality clashes are diluted and then more people will commit

I think Little Aston will be pleased to earn a quick £1k based on only 12 players so don't be afraid to be cheeky, I'd be starting at £80-85 and then see how that's met and then go from there.
