Cheers Bri.

Just for clarity, those that have entered the K of K must have an official handicap to be eligible as per the rules posted before sign up.

 

[Cherry13]

Mine is 24 (23.5)

 

[Heavy-grebo]

Well if it's official then I'm off 14.4 (14)

[Kellfire]

Official is 14.7 for me.

Just had an email from the course to say that due to the last few weeks of dry weather, they have lifted the trolley ban for those without winter wheels, therefore your ok to use your normal trolleys. I think its still winter rules but Moogster will confirm that on the day.

 

[Wayman]

Good stuff

Guys

I've just had the following email off the booking team this morning at Rockliffe. Personally, I don't think its on to be honest when the booking has been in their system for nearly three months now. Moving it back nearly an hour and then changing the slots to 8 mins suggests slow play and congestion to me. I've moaned to her but not sure what difference it will make.

Any comments/problems with it?

Dear Nick

I do hope you are well.

Due to Sunday being extremely busy we have had to move your tee time from 9.50am to 10.40am.

We have had to allocate more members tee times .

Not all members tee times may be taken so your tee time may move forward.

Also we are going to have 8 minute tees for the day so that you will all be able to tee off quicker.

I do hope this does not cause you any inconvenience we just have to manage the day accordingly.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards

What a joke, I guess that its going to be mega busy and will be very slow as 8 mins apart will just make the course congested. To change a booking from 3 months ago a few days before is just poor form from Rockcliffe, On the other hand my missus will be pleased as she can now have a lie in before dropping me off.

They're a right bunch. We played in a charity tournament there last year, shotgun start. We kicked off as the only four on a long par 5 with four guys in buggies behind us on a par 3. Obviously, when we'd putted out on the par 5 we were a long way behind the match in front, who had played two shots to the green against our three (or more!). After we'd played 2 holes the Marshall drives up & tells us we've lost ground & the match behind is up our backsides and it was going to be a five hour round! I thought my mate was going to chin him. We got round in about 4 hours, right behind the match in front.

Nicky, would it cause you any issues if certain people didn't want to play not and wanted a refund?

I'm thinking same CBa with that bull

Rather go to goswick or something

 

[MGL]

I've got a bit of an email war going on with them at the moment!

She just contradicts herself - saying its very busy and they need more members to play first but then says not all of the extra slots have been taken!! So why allocate so many extra slots to members then you div!!!

Anyway, they've offered other dates and free buggies so I've threatened to cancel to see if I can get some money back!

Stay tuned!

 

[MGL]

Not sure yet - let me see what they say over the next hour or so.

 

[Wayman]

If possible just get a refund. Don't even want to give them my money now

Ran by morons!!!

You tell them Craig!!! Let's show them and play somewhere else, they obviously don't know who they're messing with.

The Maccem Massive giving it large :sbox:

 

[moogie]

Well surely
They couldn't refuse a full refund...??
Nobody here has cancelled
They have in actual fact cancelled our "original" booking
Albeit to a new time
Nonetheless it's been altered/cancelled

I feel there is a principle at stake here

They probs took a booking from a group of wealthy golfers who dont wanna play behind a "society" group
They don't wanna upset them
So moved us instead

The whole thing stinks.......!!

 

[Hobbit]

Was gonna try and sneak in as a late entrant but...

By the looks of it whoever has took the booking has messed up, usually on a weekend members do get priority on tee times before 12, so they have took the booking on hoping it won't be busy with members but now it is.

I know the members aren't happy there with the course being busy with visitors over the winter playing for £30 and get getting food when they are forking out over £2,000 for membership.

I'd mention it to them that that this has been organised on the GM forum for months now and doesn't reflect well on them changing this at such short notice.

Oh and judging by the forecast it's going to frosty overnight here on Saturday/Sunday so that could push the tee times back even further as they won't open the course until the frost clears of the greens.
