Old Farts v Whippersnappers itinerary.....(last thread on the subject!).

[Smiffy]

Have had a few PM's asking for final details for the event, these are listed below.

Details of the venue... http://www.woodhallspagolf.com/

First tee is booked on the Bracken course from 1.30pm on Saturday 28th.
Format will be 4BB (matchplay) from the Yellow tees, 3/4's handicap difference.
Sunday morning sees the singles matches take place on the Hotchkin course from the Yellow tees, full handicap difference. The first tee is booked from 9.30am.


We are staying overnight at the Petwood Hotel which is literally a few hundred yards from the course itself. Details of the hotel are shown here...

We have a 3 course evening meal booked, and full English breakfast on Sunday morning.

Team "colours" have been decided. Old farts to wear BLUE shirts on the Saturday afternoon, RED shirts on Sunday morning.
Whippersnappers to wear WHITE shirts on Saturday afternoon, BLUE shirts on Sunday morning.
Please do your best to bring the relevant coloured shirts with you. If you have a problem with this please let me know via PM as I have some "spares" that I could bring with me if necessary.

It would be appreciated if all players could try to arrive at the club by Mid-day on the Saturday as we need to sort out order of play, pairings etc.

One other important thing to bear in mind: Woodhall Spa are hot on handicap certificates. You WILL be asked to produce one in the pro shop prior to venturing out on the course. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING ONE WITH YOU.


Any questions, please ask.

Is there anyone coming from The Leeds/Yorkshire area that want to organise a car pool?

I know that Vig is travelling down from "Up North" but I don't know how close he is to Leeds/Yorkshire mate.

Now you tell me.

4BB is always 3/4's Bob. It's singles that are full. Now get off the thread 'cos you're not coming

 

[MadAdey]

Are you going to try and pair people off against similar handicaps where possible? Try and make the games as close to one on one without lots of shots as possible on the Sunday.

Anyone (whippersnappers only, obviously ) arriving earlier on the saturday morning is welcome to join me for a brew at my 'rents place - www.dowerhousehotel.co.uk - which is a stone's throw from the golf course. I'll be there all weekend so if you need any help with anything Rob, just let me know.

Oh and for anyone who's not played there, you might want to arrive a bit early to warm up on the range - it's fantastic and I was there yesterday afternoon, they've just replaced the majority of their balls and are now using Titleist Velocity's. So their balls now consist of Velocity's and NXT's. :thup:

Not overly expensive either. £4 will get you 80 balls and £5 will get you 100 which considering the balls they use, is very good value IMO.

Eerrrrrr.......I will have a sandwich list. As will the knob known as the Whippersnappers captain. I may send my big guns out first, I may send my big guns out last. Haven't decided yet. But isn't that the fun of matchplay??????

I am going to be up at my place on the Friday playing, about 30 mins from Woodhall. If you fancy a game on the Friday afternoon? Anyone else who may be in the area fancying a game on a tight tree lined course to get you ready for Woodhall is more than welcome.

I would love to take you up on the offer Adey but unfortunately work dictates that I will have to travel up on the day. I might just venture down to the practice ground though. Or I might have an extra bacon sandwich and cuppa tea followed by a fag. I don't want to exert myself too much.

You see what we are up against Adey - I will not be trying to sort out matches with them - just for ourselves - 10 minutes in the bar beforehand should do it - won't really matter what order or pairs to beat these geriatric dribbling old codgers!!

 

[Crow]

I'll be travelling up from South Leicestershire, anybody fancy car sharing?
I should be able to fit two passengers and gear in the car.

Region, I'll be passing not too far from you if you're interested.
Sweatysocks, I'm just off the A5 and you'd be welcome to leave your car on my front over the wekend, or we can all go in yours if you prefer.

It will most definitely be an extra bacon sandwich for me. HID has me on a diet of lettuce leaves and bran... down 2st in 2 months but I'd kill for sausage, egg and chips. Be there about 12-ish.

Anyone travelling down from Middlesbrough area I've got room in the car for 2 more.

Smiffy you sound like my kind of golfer. Bacon buttie, cup of tea and a fag, my perfect lunch.

I think you are what's known in the trade as a "J. Arthur" mate.

I think Smiffy uses the term "fag" in the American vernacular........
