Really looking forward to it. I played it last year and was hoping to be blown away by the Hotchkin as I'd read so many glowing reviews of it, but I left feeling it wasn't as good as I'd expected it to be.
Maybe without the high expectations this year I will rate it as high as others do.
Hopefully this time round I'll hit at least one of my 1st tee shots more than 100yds.
Is the format for this settled yet? I also remember something about bringing the right coloured shirts, is that right?

Hi Gary
just to confirm....
Unlike last year when we played individual Stableford, this year it is a team event. The format will be matchplay. We have 16 a side so will be playing 8x4BB matches on the Saturday afternoon, on the Sunday morning we will be playing 16 singles matches. We will still be going out as fourballs on the Sunday morning, there will just be two singles matches going on within each group (if that makes sense) as we did at Forest Pines a couple of years ago. It seemed to work ok. I would have loved to have booked 16 individual tee times for Sunday morning but unfortunately, this option was not available.
The "shirts" thing was mentioned because it was hoped that if everybody bought say one red and one blue shirt with them each team could wear one or the other during a particular round to add a little "team spirit" to the proceedings. Most people somewhere in their shirt collection will have a blue and a red one as they seem to be the most popular colours on golf courses!
Paul (PN-Wokingham) is your team captain and I am playing with him on Wednesday of next week where we will discuss some of the finer details of the meet.
Just prior to the week-end, he and I will draw up our own order of play, (sandwich list if you like!), but won't reveal these until we get to Woodhall on the Saturday, so nobody (not even us) will know who is playing who until about half an hour before the off. The only "fix" in the draw will be that the two captains will play against each other on Sunday morning, but we still haven't decided whether we will go off first or last!
Hopefully, everybody going will take on board the shirts idea and make the effort to bring the right ones along. I know that I certainly have blue and red shirts in my collection, and will be bringing a couple of spares with me in case somebody forgets, or simply doesn't have the required colours.
The other alternative would have been to buy a job lot of cheap red and blue shirts and ask everybody to contribute, but this would have added more cost to the week-end which not everybody would have agreed to. Hope that makes sense?
Hopefully, your Captain will contact you during the couple of weeks leading up to the event to give you more information.

Will cerise and lilac do instead of red and blue?
Not for me I hasten to add, but just thinking of Murph and his predilection for pastel shades :mmm:

I wasn't sure if you were doing matchplay or team stableford. I think the matchplay worked well at FP so it should be good.
It would be nice if the old 'uns could keep it close until the Sunday though to make it interesting. :ears:
I have 1 shirt that is predominantly blue, and the same for red so that's fine by me. I hope the weather's nice enough to be able to see them!
Sad as I am, I've just been and had a look at my golf shirts and worrying the most common colour is grey, closely followed by white.
Leftie... good to hear from you again

Old 'uns should have to play in LIME GREEN... just so they have something they own that isn't beige!

What's wrong with beige, may I ask?

I'm thinking the old uns should play in something machine washable, so the dribble marks wash out. And dark trousers, for obvious reasons (so the dribble marks wash out?).

Lol.
Just got back from a weekend visiting the 'Rents and drove by the course (on the way to the driving range) this morning...looks in immaculate condition, even for mid-march...we should be in for a treat!

Lime green or beige crimplene never goes out of fashion, but I've got red and blue shirts now! :ears:

Crimplene is just so......
Actually, I can't comment as I have some trews that are soooooo similar to the fabled crimplene.

Hot news, whippersnappers Captain pulled a fetlock today, and is not a certain runner for Woodhall. They way he hobbled around the course, when not in his buggy, made him look more like an old fart. Get well soon Paul.
