PING Pro-Am Challenge... the lucky 10 are

[Deleted member 1418]

I'm hoping to go with Matty and will stay the night before too

Was looking at this place. Less than a ten minute drive from the course apparently:

Looks ok but we wouldn't want breakfast as Ping are doing it. Sorry Paul I reckon you'd do 2 breakfasts!

Well breakfast is the most important meal of the day! :thup: May well just put the backseats down in the car then and crash in the golf club car park!!

I've been waiting to book as well. Hopefully by this weekend...

Guys, I live in Gainsborough now, you could try the Hickman Hill Hotel which I've heard good things about and is not far from the course.

Good luck fellas, sounds a great opportunity, look forward to the reports and pics:thup:

I was thinking about the Hickman Hill. I have stayed there before when seeing clients in the area. The owners (Rob & Michelle I think) are from Croydon so will remember me. It is very nice and so is the food.

Might just be a little over our price range but I will ask.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately family hospital appointment means I will have to travel down on the day so will hope to see you all at the club (better not make it the car park tho )

Gainsborough isn't over run with cheap accommodation unfortunately, the nearest motel type places would be travelodges in Scunthorpe, Lincoln or Doncaster, which are all only about a 30min drive away.

Guys, Just spoken to Rob at the Hickman Hill hotel. He is quoting £96 incl VAT each for single occupancy (no brekki) for 6. He said if there is a problem with that, let him know. Whos interested and what are you willing to pay?

If you could PM me confirming:
You are after overnight accom for Monday 30th
Your thoughts on the cost

Please respond by say Friday end. As I know the hotel owners, I would be happy to organise this for those that are OK with me doing so, but appreciate cost could be a factor.

Matty - thanks for looking into that, but £96 is too much for me, particularly when you add on petrol, a meal and a few beers the night before. Think I'll go for the pub at £50.

I think pretty much the same Matty, maybe a look at a Holiday Inn or the like even stopping somewhere on the way up

I've booked the Black Horse Inn. Route planner says it is 4 miles from the course.

This is the Black Horse inn, in Blyton? There's another between Gainsborough and Lincoln so just checking.

Its £50 incl brekki (I could force two down!).

Chris, is this OK with you? If there is a drink with the GM boys the night before at the club we can cab it. Otherwise we can have a pint in the pub.

Yes the one in Blyton. I think everywhere will be b&b. Could ask the pub for an evening meal instead of the brekkie? Worth a try.

Cheers PieMan, assuming Chris is OK with this I think we will join you.

It's fine by me Matty so long as I don't have to have an eating competition with Pieman - he's not called that for no reason!
