NEW THREAD for Royal Cinque Ports on 8th December

[chrisd]

I emailed RCP today and thanked them and asked them to let me know of any good deals they they have in the future. I'm sure we'd all like to go back some time soon!

Keep going back Gordon and you'll fill it yourself - with golf balls!

Did you chip into the ditch ?

He chipped it into the ditch on the long side off the tee with an iron. Cracking shot that didn't deserve that fate.

I noticed that the course was on temporary greens today. I assume a heavy frost.

There was certainly a heavy frost in the wilderness that is Kent yesterday. I'm off to the Grove today and they had a delay until 10.50 yesterday, I don't think they will need to worry today!!

I'm just very glad that I laid up with my driver

Yep seem to recall 3 of us laid up with drivers........grip slightly down the club, 70% effort and a reduced turn etc.

If you take driver but just aim for the first cut rough then it slows the ball up perfectly. Doing that put me in a cracking spot ... to duff my second straight into the ditch

Anybody fancy going down there again before the end of the winter green fee offer of £65.00 (28th Feb).

Definitely would be interested mate but would have to be late Feb for me.

Late Feb would do for me too Paul.
I loved it down there.
Shall I start a new thread, get an idea on dates?
A Wednesday would be best for me but would be able to swap it around with enough notice

What did you think of it? I thought it was a nice enough course, but ther'es no way on earth I'd pay £160 to play it again!

But £65.00 to play Royal Cinque Ports?
Worth every penny.
I'd play it again for that at the drop of a hat

....... and that included the food!

I've been telling people at my place how good it was and we're only 45 mins away

....... and that included the food!
I've been telling people at my place how good a deal it was, and very much doubt that ANYBODY could negotiate it again.
But I'm willing to give it a try. What's the best dates for everybody?

Chris. You are an absolute diamond.

Late Feb, Wednesday (or Tuesday) would be good for my first visit, Rob.
