Re: Machrihanish Trip 2011 March 26th &27th

All money now in bar the Dundee squad who are probably out breaking into cars as we speak to raise the dosh.

I'm sure I can rely on Steve to get me the £30 so the deposit will be payed on Thursday.

Thanks guys and I will be in touch shortly.

Prize wise I have 3 X bottles of whisky, sorry Fabian, 2 bottles of whisky and a bottle of Whiskey! If anyone is feeling generous enough to donate anything to the prize list please drop me a PM. It would be good to at least cover the 4 par 3's for nearest the pin prizes and a longest drive if possible like last year.

We also have 2 dozen golf balls donated, and a lesson with a PGA Professional.

Chears,


Crawford.
 
Re: Machrihanish Trip 2011 March 26th &27th

Gentlemen,

We now have confirmation from Machrihanish Golf Club for Sunday 27th March 2011. First tee time is 0930hrs last goes out at 1018hrs.

I will get the catering organised later as Ian is on holiday until the 20th of the month.

There is a slight increase in price this year as its £30 per round, however this is still fantastic value. I would imagine the food price will be about £20 max on top of this.

Total will be :-

Machrihanish Dunes food & golf £50
Machrihanish food & golf £50
Hotel B&B £30
Prize Fund £15(Everyone will get a starter pack of goodies!)

Total if my arithmetic is correct is £145, leaving a balance of £135 left to pay, I'll be looking for prize money roughly at the end of November so I can shop for bargains in the sales.

I have bought a few things so far and have nearest the pin prizes for the 3, par 3's at Machrihanish Dunes.

Donated so far,

Bottle of Malt : Thecraw
Bottle of Malt : Bunkers
Bottle or Irish Whiskey : Fabian
Bottle of Vodka : Stevek1969

(That covers the nearest the pin prizes at Machrihanish on the Sunday, would anyone be willing to put up a longest drive bottle?)

Also donated so far,

Lesson with a PGA Professional : Andy McIntyre
Shoe Bag : Shooter
Dozen golf balls : Algar5
Dozen golf balls : Stevek1969
Fourball voucher at a golf course (still to be confirmed!): Thecraw


If I have missed anyone out I apologise, please PM me or email me and I'll update. Also if you would still like to donate to the prize fund/prize list which will soon rival The Race to Dubai, please feel free, just PM or email me and I'll gladly put your name and generosity in lights for all to see.

Its only 24 weeks away! :D

Wales play England on the 26th. I so hope it will be an evening kickoff. Now that would make it a good evenings viewing...watching the sheep worriers take on the invaders....

What a wonderfully random post in my Machrihanish thread. Thanks for that Fabian!

If only there was a prize for the most random post that would certainly be a contender! :D

Dodger, your a star, the lads who went through to Newbattle enjoyed it saying the greens were magnificent.

Cheers mate.

Re: Machrihanish Trip 2011 March 26th &27th

I have bought a few things so far and have golf umbrellas for nearest the pin prizes for the 3, par 3's at Machrihanish Dunes.

Donated so far,

Bottle of Malt : Thecraw
Bottle of Malt : Bunkers
Bottle or Irish Whiskey : Fabian
Bottle of Vodka : Stevek1969
Bottle of Southern Comfort : Grumps

That covers the nearest the pin prizes at Machrihanish on the Sunday and the longest drive. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this. I believe that par 3 nearest the pin prizes are a huge part of a good trip as everyone has a chance of a prize, from a "lucky" shot to a well executed shot, it adds a bit of excitment.

Also donated so far,

Lesson with a PGA Professional : Andy McIntyre
Shoe Bag : Shooter
Dozen golf balls : Algar5
Dozen golf balls : Stevek1969
Fourball voucher at a golf course (still to be confirmed!): Thecraw
Fourball Voucher (I think???) Dodger
Tickets to Barclays Scottish Open (Colint) (I Still feel guilty!)
Booby prize (Smiffy) God only knows and the mind boggles!!

Re: Machrihanish Trip 2011 March 26th &27th

We have increased again, Colint's commitment has now been overshadowed by Sammmabee who is travelling from even further down south, somewhere near a Queen if he's to be believed!

Golfcitydweller, has also joined the merry gang, and for those who like a little flutter, surely this "king of the links" must be a strong favourite!! (2 handicap at St Andrews!) No pressure now Euan! :D

Also now committed is Andy Buttar, scratch player by default since he's a PGA professional!

I have a few feelers out for a 4th to take us up to 28! If you would like to be considered for a potential further increase in the field please PM me through the forum..

Thecraw.

Mike,

Played Machrihanish with young Andy McIntyre (also a PGA Pro and going next year) and was given a real golfing lesson. Certainly put my game into perspective.
