PANNAL Sun 14th April

Looking at some of my wifes' mates' photos of her w/end trip to Yorkshire,I'm starting to think game might be in danger of being cancelled. Snow drifts everywhere.

Has been extremely bad west of the A1, Nick... very deep snow drifts and deep snow in hollows and bunkers, most Leeds courses still closed because of this...... but it is steadily going despite continuing low temperatures. Have been in touch with them and there's little doubt that we'll be OK by 2 weeks time. Can't wait :fore:

Thats good to hear Dave. Looking forward to it. Got a lesson booked for toay at 5 to sort my drving out,so inconsistent.
 
Thought I'd bump this. Locally the majority of the snow has now just about gone so we should be ready for next weekend.

Will we be sorting tee times out on the day Dave or beforehand?

Really looking forward to this, although my house has chicken pox going round and I haven't had it yet!! Just my luck to get shingles by next sunday!!
 
Suggest those who want, can meet at 9am for Breakfast at the Spoons in Harrogate HG1 2RR. That will allow us plenty of time to get to Pannal for 10ish, just 3 miles.....where we've got some complimentary practice balls.
First Tee is 11.06, then 11.14, 11.22


HDIDo 2blue (Dave) PAID -12
Dave's mate Mark PAID - 9
HDIDo Wrighty1874 - Nick PAID - 11
HDIDo Silver (Steve) PAID - 11
HDIDo JulianT-B - PAID - 16
JT-B'sMate- Mark -PAID - 21


GM Marshy - Paul PAID - 25
GM Captainron -Roy PAID - 8
Captainron's mate Marc - 14
GM Birchy - Scott - PAID - 19
GM Hammer - Greg PAID - 18
Hammer's mate - DON - PAID - 22

There is interest in having HDIDo+mates v GM+mates as well as a Singles Stableford. Would welcome ideas on how we score team game........Full aggregate (or best 4 or so) StableFord scores for each side?
Prize for Overall Singles.... 3 places, £30, £20, £10 + Nearest the Pin (I have a Prize)....
Also how do we want to do the pairings.... 2 GM with 2 HDIDo would seem to make sense, partners to be sorted out by team leaders (as Lowest H/Cap, have asked Roy to do GM pairings)
Will post Pairings & times here when sorted.

Sounds good to me Dave , i will be at the spoons at 9am :thup:

Full aggregate for the team scores will probably be easiest to sort out at the end mate i reckon.
 
Silver has suggested we just have a surprise card draw on the day for partners and opponents. I like this!!
Then for the team event it would probably make sense to either add everyone's scores up and whoever has the most wins OR each pairs scores are added up and compared against the other pairs total to take the match.
I like the last one as each 4 Ball can work out their match and report back.... simples
What do folks think??

Suprise draw is fine by me. Depends if people on the GM team want to play with their mate that they are bringing? If that makes sense? Like Hammer and Captainron might wanna have their mate as partner? Thats fine by me if so.

We could do betterball matchplay for the GM vs HDID? Bit like Ryder cup on a small scale :). Tie breaker for a draw could be stableford total points?

Yeah.... we'll see what they want to do with their mates. They can let us know here, perhaps. :-)
Betterball matchplay is a good format but might be a bit difficult to play along side Individual Stableford

Shouldnt be that hard, All 4 players in each group will be marking singles stableford anyway wont they? Unless we just have 5 singles stableford matchplay matches instead? That would probably be even easier still, 2 matches within each fourball :)

I think I understand what you mean...... what does everyone else think, if you're looking in?? :D
 
HG1 2WH. ....is another possibility. The RR one must be very new
There's a map here. http://http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-winter-gardens
Other wise just follow the bacon smell :cheers:
The spoons site gives HG1 2RR and it's not liking that code. Will try the other but I don't want to spend too long looking for my scran. I'll be leaving at the crack of dawn, not wanting to get up earlier than neccessary , just to go kerb crawling looking for mt breakfast!!
