Oh they'll have us mate, no probs.
Was just hoping I could get a better deal.
If anyone can play midweek, we can do 2-4-1 so it'll be £20,just a shame they won't take it on Sunday.

Would a bank holiday Monday be an option for him? I know some have opens on them days, but with a bit of flexibility, he may be ok, as not a weekend, so may consider a deal for 3-4 tee times only. Tell him about all the free advertising , if he manages to get on the GMNWOOM open rota. I've just turned down Royal Portrush, they sounded soooo desperate1 :)

There are a few in April/May, but just a thought.

How about booking it as a society package?

Ok, spoke to secretary today and, to be honest, I'm not sure I can get us that good a deal.
2-4-1 is only accepted midweek, but no visiting parties after 4pm :( .
Can book up to 16 people on of a Sunday, but they'll only let me sign in 3 guests (@£15 each), then the green fee is £50 :eek:
Say they can knock a fiver off but, although it is a good course, not sure I want to be asking you lads to be paying that sort of brass out.
Obviously, we can do it piecemeal - I can take a few people every so often - but better I think to have more of a "gathering".
Hey, if you all like the look of the place http://www.prestongolfclub.com/ , we can do this, no probs.
If this is no good, we've got a load of cracking courses to do this on anyway.

If anyone fancies a knock up there in the meantime, just let me know, be glad to oblige.

Can I say the course looks decent from the limited pics on the website but the website is an example of a club not using all its tools to attract visitors because the website has limited info or visitors.

Midweek nights for me, once the spring is in obviously.

It was to help people who cant do any midweekers. Im assuming you can do midweekers? :). Unless you wanna pay 50 notes?

There is gonna have to be some flexibility in this because we dont have the run of our golf clubs. We aint gonna be able to please all of the people all of the time are we?

Unless we get 6 better options we may need Greg's offer no matter what.
 
I know I was being mardy :), I could play it midweek as a guest with Greg, its a good idea, opens are usually the cheapest way of playing courses.

Its not ideal because we should try and make it so everyone has a chance to do weekend or weekday if they wish but if we struggle for options we may need to do summat like that. Id rather we all had a big meet at every course but that might not work out.

Hopefully it all works out in the end :)
 
I'm going to phone Chorley tomorrow, I'll try but I don't think I'll get guest rates on more that 3 at weekends. £15.00 pp.
Personally I'm pretty flexible and can play whenever needed throughout the chosen month to get all the rounds played.

As mentioned above it could be a good idea to tie in an open each month at the chosen forumers course if possible, if its not possible maybe we could look at opens elsewhere, although this would involve everyone on the GMNWOOM playing on the day. Maybe a tall order.
 
If we struggle to get 6 that can offer mini meets we can always spread the ones out that can get a few more on together to get suitable dates. That way more people will be able to make them meets and do the other courses in splinter groups so to speak :).

I suppose when weve got a full list of players and courses we can offer between us we will have a better idea.

The GMNWOOM is genius as well :) we will be selling tickets next!
 
Haha you'd pass for a tart with that ginger wig you've got!!

I'm not sure about the name GMNWOOM. I've hastily come up with two apt names,as follows:-

North And Western Knobbers Society

Or

Tournament (for) Itinerant,Trophyless, West And North Kaptain's Stableford

I can't think of an acronym, though.......Any other ideas?

Birchy has a point, we may need to take certain opportunities as they become available, especially if it saves us £30 each to go in an open, but as long as they are not all mens opens, which will exclude Louise. If greg's course does get voted for, maybe we could book the late tee times, and if Greg could maybe get the first tee time after the open and play with Louise, it could solve the problem, if he is happy to do that.

Let's get all the offers and course details/descriptions in, do the vote and then we can get ahead of the game, if greg's course is voted in.

Looking at the thread i think theres 16 players up for it/interested. Weve had Lee park, Davyhulme, Bolton old links, Chorley, Preston, Lymm, Ellesemere and Morecambe offered so far iirc. Im not sure how many more other options can be offered from the people interested if any?
