Do they do them in white? or are they black only?

Black only as far as I know.

I got mine off ebay for around £20 inc postage. It pays to think ahead :)
I've even bought a really silly hat, but if it pees it down constantly it'll be worth it.

Let me know by around 10pm this evening if you can Jon and if you still need some picking up I'll go on my way tomorrow.
I've just spoken to the pro shop and they have a summer pair (mesh on the back) in small sitting on the shelf. I only asked if he had them in small and he went on to tell me how amazing they are.

Is the only difference between the summer/winter ones the meshing on the back (presumably to keep hands cool rather than warm?)?? If so, that will probably be fine. I know the weather is forecast to be colder this weekend, but I don't play a lot in the cold cold weather so summer ones would probably suit. especially if they're as good as he says they are :)

If so, and I can't get any sorted, I'll take them. Will let you know by tonight if I can - PM me your mobile number and I'll text you later. Much appreciated.

From what I can tell, the winter ones are all solid material and have a bit longer cuffs but I could be wrong as I've only looked at pictures. I went for the mesh ones.

PM sent.

I really should have ordered some MacWets :( Trip to Lincoln first thing?

Anyone who's going to a golf shop between now and tomorrow, would they be able to pick a pair up, just in case? Size small (no jokes please :().

Thanks!
Thought you would want gardening gloves for when you fill in those divots :)

At last, just finished work, got to pick up my h/c cert from the club, have a few cheeky beers then HID is cooking dinner one of those special dinners for before you go away.

Tomorrow all roads lead to Woodhall Spa.

See you tomorrow fellas.

I forgot as well.

I have a 2 month old one that I never got asked for at Porthcawl, plus I have an EGU card, so should be ok with that I'd imagine.

I was going to wait until tomorrow but I have just had a rush of inspiration and it all fell into place - Saturday's team is in place - and what a strong team - you old boys should start sweating more than you already are!:lol:

Just back from the range, practising shots into the wind, it's going to be howling come Sunday....

Was hoping to do some bunker practice but as only the range is covered I didn't bother.

Clubs washed, handicap certificate found (almost a year old but I assume all they want is proof of being able to hit the ball with some consistency), MacWets packed (had these for Christmas and have had no cause to wear them unitl now, bloody weather), shoes waxed and waterproofs packed.


In a perverse sort of way I'm looking forward to battling the elements, at least they should give us more of a challenge than that ragtag bunch of "golfers" making up the Whippersnappers team. :D
