Old Farts v Whippersnappers official booking thread.........

[Smiffy]

With Steve (Losttheplot's) blessing, I have gone and booked up the venue for the proposed "Old Farts v Whippersnappers" match.

Venue.....WOODHALL SPA
Date....Sat 28th/Sun 29th April 2012
Price...£139.00 (estimated)

Yes, I know it's early, but Woodhall are offering their winter package again next year until the end of April, and I wanted to get in as late as possible to hopefully get the chance of half decent weather. This date will be the first one picked by anybody else taking up the offer, so I had to be a bit nippy!!
The cost shown above will include two rounds of golf (one on the Bracken on Saturday afternoon with the other on the Hotchkin on the Sunday morning) together with 3 course evening meal, overnight accommodation (final choice of hotel still under negotiation) and full English breakfast on the Sunday morning.
I have booked up for 32 places, that's 16 a side. Average age will be calculated from the 32 players and anyone below will be a whippersnapper, Old Farts being made up from the ones above.
I have got to speak to the club on Wednesday of this week to discuss a few things and they will obviously require a deposit, but I will put off sending this until I really have to as I know quite a few of you have other commitments coming up.
Format hasn't been decided yet, but it could be a good old fashioned matchplay, or a team Stableford, whatever you want.
So who's up for it????

 

[Leftie]

A year ahead is a lot further than most of us "old farts" look, but I'll be there if I'm physically able to make it

 

[NWJocko]

A long way off but i'm definitely interested in it. Is 32 old fart or whippersnapper?!

 

[TXL]

Assuming all being well, I'll be there

 

[Smiffy]

A long way off but i'm definitely interested in it. Is 32 old fart or whippersnapper?!

Depends what the "average" age is
With Leftie and TXL signing up it's looking about 55


And as I say, I know it's early but those dates will be gone within the next month or so.

Young whippersnapper ready to kick old timers ass,unless of course i fall into the more mature team and then i will be putting youngsters in their place.Pen me in Smithers

 

[Aztecs27]

Yep. I'm in. My birthday on the friday, so this will be a nice treat.



As discussed, no Accomm required for me, I can walk to the golf course from my 'rents house! (Unless of course it's compulsory!)

 

[daymond]

Hell if I join in it will push the whippersnappers close to 50.

 

[Whereditgo]

Count me in














probably for the Old Farts

 

[PNWokingham]

count me in - I will get my bucket and spade!! Hopefully a whi[[ersnapper but it could go the other way - 41 by then!

 

[richart]

I'm in, just hope there are enough even older farts than me, so i can play for the whippersnappers.

 

[stef92]

I would love to have done this! Played Woodhall, nearly 2 years ago and loved both courses, but as of yet I still don't know where I stand with unis. If I get in I can't make it… But, will know by then of the week hopefully!

Only been waiting for 5 1/2 months… !!

 

[chrisd]

I hope that I can do it as it's a course that's on my wish list. As I am going to be an "old fart" wherever the cut comes I just hope that I remember posting this reply beyond this evening!

[Crow]

Put me down please.

I'm guessing I'll be on the coffin side of the dividing line.

 

[richart]

Just like to put on record that i don't mind playing as an old fart, but i am not sharing a room with another one.
