The tee times for this qualifier will be 10.00, 10.08 & 10.16, if we get any more players looking to join us the next tee time be earlier (09.52) not later due to a competition being held now from lunchtime.

I shall make a draw for the current 3 x 4-balls over the next day or 2.
 
When doing the draw Robin, I'd appreciate the latest tee we have. It's a couple of hours from me if I don't decide to stay over the night before.

Ta la :)

The draw will be to determine the 4-balls, not for the times, who ever gets drawn with me will be going out first, but I will leave you out and add you to the last group as your travelling the furthest, I'm nice like that :smirk:
 
**Announcement**

My existing and soon to be old club have served me with a curve ball this morning via email stating that the B-team competition & dinner that was cancelled last year due to a lack of participants and was rearranged a couple of weeks ago for our same day (March 27th) but with a start time of 12.45, is now a shotgun start and as such they require the "course" to be cleared by 12.45 :angry:

This means we cannot play at North Warwickshire, BUT, Coventry Golf Club to which I joined 2 weeks ago has stepped in and have done me a great deal :thup:

As far as you guys are concerned its just a change of venue in the same area but at a far more superior course, clubhouse and overall set-up. I will be personally subsidising the difference between what I announced the green fee was at NWGC and that of Coventry Golf Club, so I hope you all look at this and accept this as simply just a great free upgrade :thup:

I truly can't imagine anyone would want or need to drop out because of this as the course is by far the best in our area IMO.

I will be sending you all some payment details so if you could deal with those ASAP it would be really appreciated as I need to pay CGC cash shortly.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience caused but this was totally out of my control and I didn't see it coming as everything had been agreed in principle.

Robin
 
How much is the extra Robin? I personally have no issue with paying more for a better course, and I don't think it's right you should be footing the bill :thup:
 
Are we still teeing off around the same time and if so is there chance to get bacon buttie and coffee before the off ?

Same tee times, I'll find out what time the kitchen opens, I'm not sure at the moment, not been to the club that early before, but we have a coffee machine in the Pro shop.
 
In light of this latest change any chance I could dub in? Fancied playing the Coventry for a while.

Sorry, due to the circumstances I only asked for and got the 12 confirmed places (3 x tee times), they don't have or allow society's on Fridays normally, we have specific days only for them, this was a huge favour the secretary & Pro did for me/us.

Robin

I'm not playing but kudos to Fish for this :thup:

Thanks anyway Dave but as I've said to others who have also offered in PM's, it is what it is and I'm not moving the goal posts or putting others in an uncomfortable position that they would feel they'd have to pay more also because others have.

You can buy me a pint afterwards :cheers:
 
Brilliant work at short notice Robin!

Course looks great and it puts an end to the tricky decision of what club to take on the second tee at NWGC. :)

You'll have a few more testing decisions to make at Coventry :smirk:
 
I'd better start looking at the course layout then, do you know if we'll be playing from the yellow or the white tees?

If Robin can sweet talk Sutty, then hopefully the whites.

Due to the current conditions the yellows and white blocks are in a kind of midway position together, however, hopefully by the end of next month there will be a clearer distinction.

Although the whites are further back by 393yds overall the yellows can be tougher as the indexes are considerably different! Take the 1st, it can be a tough 457yd par 4 index 6 off the yellows but off the whites its a 482yd comfortable par 5 index 12, an extra shot for only 25yds! In the main the difference between the 2 blocks is only around 10-15yds, other than the 10th which again is a par 4 upped to a par 5 but for a 55yd difference! The yellows are a par 71 and whites a par 73 so for me the whites suits the higher handicapper who's playing OK, so I'll see what I can do :smirk:

I'll ask the question but I'm not pushing my luck, they've already been excellent for me.
