That's a pity, S & A was a key course for me and top of my bucket list. Fairhaven will probably be the one I won't play then as I'm playing in their pairs open the end of September with Junior, unless it wows me I won't travel that far to play the same course a few weeks apart!

Didn't Wallasey get any votes?

Yeah im playing that too. Wallasey didn't get put in as with a couple of you joining I didn't think you would want to pay the dough to play it.

I will do a re-vote for the space that has opened if theres call for it? Ive not spoke to Fairhaven yet so nothing in place at the moment.

 

[bluewolf]

I'd definately put Wallasey way ahead of Fairhaven mate. Most of us are playing it in a few weeks anyway.. Rig the vote, contact Wallasey...... You know you want to.... Wallasey, Wallasey, Wallasey..... Bit of subliminal mind control there.. Did you see it?

 

[Qwerty]

Birchy, if you do contact wallasey ask them if the full course is usually open throughout winter. The only reason is that I contacted them about a game last winter and the pro mentioned something about having to play off mats on 6 of the holes, I'm sure he said Theres a part of the course that isn't as free draining as the rest.

Other than that it is a much better course than fairhaven :thup:

 

[Birchy]

Looks like a re-vote is on the cards then unless theres more overwhelming support for Wallasey to make it pointless having one.

Will give people until tomorrow lunchtime to give their views on what they wanna do :thup:

 

[Qwerty]

Im happy anywhere Scott as long as were on fairways n greens. Any combo of the original list will do :thup:

Im just slightly cautious of some of the premium courses in winter. I played Hillside last November and was told the full course was open, got out on the course to find 2 holes on temps and the yellow tees were all right up with the reds. I knew they were just trying to protect them for the summer but after paying £65 I was more than pissed off.

Shall we just play Caldy 4 times

 

[Liverbirdie]

I'm game for Wallasey, especially if our country member chaps don't mind getting us on cheap.

It might also give us a flexible option, as it can possibly be played anytime Fish and Val are free, if convenient for them.

 

[Odvan]

No that's completely fine mate don't wanna step on anyone's toes etc ill throw my name into a few ones I'm interested in then as I look towards getting a hcp
Thanks pal

Welcome back Karl, glad you got home safely. Haven't you joined GL&F? Easiest, cheapest and quickest way to get one would be chilli-dip, which I'm thinking about doin'.

That's what I was worried about. Paying top whack and then a few holes are on temps etc.

Right considering S&A aren't playing ball I think a re-vote for its replacement is the best thing to do.

Wallasey (£36 for society of 16+)
Fairhaven (£55)
Fleetwood (£15)

Ive been thinking too Too make it more flexible shall we put Silloth in as a fifth option to provide a bit more flexibility for folks? Therefore still have your first 3 from 4 counting as your scores for the overall but people can play all 5 if they wish.

That would mean people travelling could also get two in one go at Southerness & Silloth??

Thoughts??

 

[Fish]

Yes, adding Silloth is excellent, especially if they were back-to-back after Southerness.

Also my other vote goes to Wallasey to replace S&A

Wallasey out of those Birchy.

Cheers bud.

Dont bank on that date as a few people have said its their season start that weekend so theres a fair chance that may have to shift. Gonna get the two this side of xmas nailed in first then we can sort out the other two :thup:

 

[bluewolf]

Just seen the dates you've posted Coolio, have you got a copy of my rota? Every blinkin one is on a working weekend!! I only work 50% of the year and you've hit all of them...... Gonna take a good look at all the dates and try and work something out, you'll have to bear with me a while though. In the meantime, It's probably best if you and the other lads finalize the specific dates between you and I'll try and fit in...:thup:

Ps... Good work mate, you're a super dooper star...

Perfect :rofl:

Dates aren't final yet so you might get lucky on some. Im working on each one in chronological order so see how it goes.

If you can get in the Southerness one its likely you will get 2 in there though :thup:

 

[Liverbirdie]

When I was looking for a day out for the OOM, I asked if they were willing to do a special rate for say 16 of us, but over two different dates, as not all could do it one one day. Most (but not all) were receptive to this, as it was still an £ 500+ spend that they were receiving, even if over 2 different days.

May be worth a try - 99-er with sprinkles,a flake and raspberry cream.

This is what ive been hoping mate. If we can get 16 on the main dates then im sure it will be easy enough to get them to do the same price for an extra fourball or two for people on other dates who really want to play.

There seems plenty enough up for this to get it sorted.

Maybe ask them for 16 + overall, but minimum of 12 on the main day. That's what I went with.

I can't do the meet on October 20th at SAOL, but would be up for another weekend date for it., so put me down for ** other date option **.

Wallasey get my vote BTW, for the other thing.
