North west region winter links challenge

[Birchy]

Looking at doing 4 meets over winter one each in October, November, February, March.

Competition format of best 3 scores out of the 4 meets, singles stableford.

Everybody is welcome and if people just want to play one of the meets as a day out that is fine. There will be a sweep at each individual meet anyway.

Meets will be Sat/sun.

Can people interested in playing just pick the courses they want in the four. Ive put the advertised single green fee price for each course although it could end up being cheaper after numbers have been put in and some sweet talk

St Annes Old Links £48
Fairhaven £55
Caldy £25 (price we had last time)
Fleetwood £15 (open comp)
Silloth £42
Hesketh £40
Southerness £38
S & A £60-£75

 

[Birchy]

Voting and players interested so far :-

Southerness 8
Caldy 6
St annes old links 5
Fairhaven 5
S & A 4
Fleetwood 2
Hesketh 3 (might be worth taking this out though as its poor in winter apparantly)
Silloth 0

I really fancy Silloth, but doesn't it get soaked in the Winter???

Should be fine but could be a plan for a friendly knock there too anyway. :thup:

Fairhaven, ain't no links! Though it does have some holes that have a 'linksy feel'

Very nice course though.

A few trips up to bonny Scotland, where they don't, normally, have trees, required then! I can recommend the Gullane area! Ayrshire has a but of a reputation too, but only played Dundonald. Western Gailes, the other side of the railway, looked stunning too!

He's been up, he played North Berwick and Muirfield so he got a good taste of it.

It is a cracking place for golf, its just wall to wall

I'm in, where do we vote for the courses?

 

[Fish]

I'd be interested as I missed out on St Annes Old Links with my back and a club comp, S&A is on my bucket list so that's a go. I really fancy Southerness, heard nothing but excellent reviews but would want to play a couple of courses with that journey so dependent if that was on a Saturday or Sunday I'd like to get another course up their in to justify an overnight stop.

For Southerness i reckon it could be a stay over and another knock at Silloth as its close by. Obviously people dont have to stay over etc but i think a few might do :thup:

Birchy, any clues as to the dates in each month yet?
