North Kent meet - deposits required.

AW,

My uncle has checked and he cannot make this event so as we were I believe. Really looking forward to this and hoping to have my Upro GPS in time for it too.

Thanks,

OK, no worries.

I've got a uPro GPS and you can get Redlibbets on it and it's excellent! :eek:

Dave, just a query

I will need to use an electric trolley for both rounds and I only have one battery, does the pro shop hire Hillbilly batteries out?


Thanks


Chris

Chris, our pro shop hires out GoKarts, I believe. I'll check for you.

I've only got one battery so I'm hoping it'll last for 36 holes..... :)
 
I think I may use my first free pro mode on redlibbets and use it on the day, even though I'm not likely to play there again any time soon.

Out of interest are we going to review the day and try and get it in the magazine with pics? Seen a post on this before and thought it would be a good idea?

If the day's a success then I'll probably organise another one later in the year...... :rolleyes:

I'll certainly bring a camera - if others bring theirs then we can have loads of photos of the day. Plus, if a few reviews are done then maybe it'll feature in GM. :o
 
To be fair, the greenkeeping staff have done wonders given the terrible winter we've had. The course is closed next week (28th March to 1st April) to allow the greenkeepers unrestricted access to each and every hole so we should reap the benefits of the closure on the 8th.
 
Ours have been pencil tined etc this week but they don't close the course - there would be a riot! Goodness, imagine all those unhappy veterans!Doesn't bear thinking about!

Funnily enough, the vets asked for a refund on their yearly subscription! :D I worked it out as a £15 refund. They play so much golf, it works out that they pay £2 a round..... :p

To put your minds at rest, the work isn't green related, i.e hollow tining, sanding, etc - it's to get the work done that they can't get done during a normal working week - stuff like divot replacing on some of the fairways that take a bit of a hammering (the 14th springs to mind), a bit of bunker work and tee box work.

Also, answers to a couple of questions I've had:

1) Unfortunately, our pro shop do not hire out HillBilly electric trollies/batteries.

2) The clubhouse will be open from 7:30am with the baguettes served from 8.

Any other questions then please feel free to ask.

Thanks

If baguettes are being served from 8 what is the first tee off time? I'm really looking forward to this now, will be nice to play a different course with different people.

8:30 is the first tee off time so a fairly quick breakfast for those out first.
 
Fair enough. Think I have got to leave mine about 6am to get there. Would only be about an hour journey but got to accomodate the QEII in rush hour. Hopefully will be there on time.
 
I do apologise for not responding - this damn website isn't working properly and it's not alerted me to the new postings!! :mad:

OK, there's 19 runners and riders confirmed. So, one 3 ball and four 4 balls.

PS - whoever ends up with JustOne gets a free drink - from Leftie.. :o

The meet is still open to other forummers if anyone fancies it.

I'll be doing the draw for the tee times either Monday or Tuesday night so that everyone knows, in advance, when they are out. I'll be using set of balls number 2 and the machine 'Arthur'.. :)

As I said previously, I'll put the forummers who have played the course out seperately so that each grouping has a bit of local knowledge/course direction.

I'm really looking forward to the day.. :D
 
Guys, I played the course today - it was closed all last week for the greenkeeping staff to do their magic and...

the greens have been hollow tined (sp?) and sanded!!! :mad:

I just thought I'd warn you before Friday.
