So he is promoting a charity event, which we are probably aware of already from last year, for a major charity, who do great work. He isn't selling anything. What's the issue?

 

[doc17]

Not got a problem with that at all... it's called humour mog, a bit like your golf from what i hear!!

I'm up for a local event (not prepared to travel miles, do 4 rounds and travel miles back again). If HTL is up for another one I'll join him and any other takers. We started at 4.20 am last year but the course we had the use of waived our green fees for the day and sent marshalls out in front of us to clear the way. We were done by 6.30pm but then again we were a 2 ball as two others let us down at the last minute

 

[level5s]

I did it 2 years ago around one course (Alford) as a four ball.
Last year we did it again but at 4 different courses (both Newmachar, Oldmeldrum and Meldrum House) again as a 4 ball.

This year we are taking a break, gets difficult asking the same people for sponsorship. Hope to get involved again in the coming years.

I would love to do it, but doubt my back will hold out for 72 holes

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I looked at trying different courses in close proximity. Depending on dates I think Royal Ascot, Birds Hill, Downshire and back to Royal Ascot is doable

 

[JT77]

I would love to do it, I asked at my club and they advised me to put it to the commitee, but I cant get 3 other players. I think I would find it very tough going, back issues etc, but if it were easy, sponsors would be harder to get!!

Good luck to anyone that does it!

Ah, that's what it is. I don't do humour.

I was thinking about doing this but getting a fourball together is the tricky part. I'm definately up for it if it's something local

Homer, HTL - depending on the date, I'd be up for joining you both.

I'm up for it if there's a space. Haven't met any of you guys yet so we might hate each other by the end but there's only one way to find out

 

[Deleted member 1418]

Hawkeye - we'll probably all be too tired to hate each other!!! Homer - am happy with your suggestion of different courses.

That's a fair point Different courses is good for me too if you guys are happy to have me on board?

Hywel - As hawkeye is local that makes 4. Do you want to try and find a date and course
