ive two outfits to choose from, depends if I can get away with it though

One for Saturday, one for the Sunday then, where's the dilemma?

I have a couple of pairs in the wardrop ready to be unleashed Saturday & Sunday.
 
Pleased to report that dapper trousers have arrived! Dare say they'll have an outing this weekend, not saving them for the mac!

You need to start taking this seriously young lady!!!

First you go and chop your handicap, now your wearing pre aired trousers on Dapper Trouser Sunday!

My "Sunday" trousers are at the tailors for shortening!


17 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:whoo:
 
Just got an email from Dunaverty the price for the round on the Friday has increased. I told them that I would have to put it to the troops as its a substantial amount.

The cost has risen from £25 to a whopping £25.20! WTF!


Anyway its £28 for the golf. We qualify for a 10% discount meaning a deduction of £2.80 therefore £25.20! This equates to an extra £3 income. LOL.


If anyone wishes to pull out let me know!


:rofl::rofl::rofl:

As per my email Davie (bigslice) is raising money for Liver Research which is a charity which is close to his heart. Having discussed it with him we've decided on a fine system with all fines going to his charity.

The team which loses the YELLOW BALL first will be fined £10 (£2.50 per head).
The team which comes last in the Texas Scramble will be fined £10 (£2.50 per head)
2nd last = £6 fine (£1.50 per head)
3rd last = £4 fine (£1 per head)

Any team 3 putting during the Texas Scramble will also be fined £10 as that just shouldn't happen!!!!!


The Sunday will see the following fines applied.

Lost ball £0.50
3 putt £0.20
Fail to get out of a bunker £0.20 (per shot)
Club chucking (for me and Neil Rattray) £1!
Fabian wearing green £1 per item of clothing!

If anyone has any other ideas please post them.
 
Right, spoke with the Dunes today. There will be a wee bit of jiggery pokery with the rooming arrangements which I'll sort next week. Four people will be moved into the hotel. Any volunteers before I pick a cottage to go?

Also I've arranged for a burger and a beer lunch on Sunday at the course for a £10 spot each. That's a decent deal before the prize giving.

Keep your peepers open.
