[patricks148]

Patrick out 1st his mate out last... that way he's not waiting about for you... problem solved

all well and good but that won't get us back up the road any sooner will it!

are we still having a wager on this meet? if we have 4 balls we can playey betterball betwwen pairs and team stableford?

 

[Deke]

Ok, how are these for groups? Group 1:Me,Five&one,DelB,NeilBro. Group 2:Greig,Greig's Mate,Patrick,Patrick's mate. Group 3:Grumps,Smokey,Jungle,Jungle's mate. All good lads? Have I missed anything/anybody out? I still don't have an official handicap so will be playing off 18 on the day, I hope this is ok with you all? Del and Greig played with me at another meet and they can attest that I need every one of those shots! For the same reason I will not be part of any wagers of comps to avoid accusations of banditry, but feel free to sort something out between yourselves! Any questions?

No No no, if you don't have a handicap that means you play off scratch, simples.

Everybody at the previous meet was fine with 3/4 of 18? I will play off scratch if that is what the rest of you decide? Does it really make that much of a difference when it's for a friendly knock?

 

[Deke]

In fact I really don't mind playing off nada, it's a fun day out for free after all! Maybe as a gesture of solidarity you should all join me and play off scratch too my good fellows? It will be nice to see the new range and teaching facilities they are opening on the day and I think they are offering free lessons too? I might end up staying for a while! Me and my good wife were planning to go for a meal after if any of you fancy it?

He most Certainly will

 

[Deke]

Cheers Bomber! Nice one Patrick! Even though a few of you going are higher handicap players are you up for playing of scratch for a day? Your comments please good meet muckers?

 

[Bomber69]

He most Certainly will

And your mate would he be up for this also....

 

[Deke]

I have a strange feeling he will too!

 

[Bomber69]

Well as the saying goes Deke, it's your ball so you make the rules. I am sure all the guys will be up for this given that it's not costing them nowt.

Have a great day and remember to post the scores:thup:

I sure will bud, hopefully Tiger will be up for some pics and a write up if we are are lucky!

 

[Deke]

In fact, how does a better ball matchplay format off scratch sound? That would be a right laugh!

I deffo like your way of thinking, will be a good day out no matter what way you decided to go but like I have said if you have offered to play off scratch I am sure the rest will follow your lead, be very surprised if anybody say no......

We shall see! What say you laddies? I am off out now for a much needed round and practice session and I will be back in the evening, I hope you are all up for this? Cheers!

 

[GreiginFife]

I'm happy aff bare feet.

Deke, in the interests of time being a factor would Patrick & his mate not be best off in the first group. Me and my mate are happy to play in any group/time.

Just a thought.

Aha, those were just the groups in no particular order mate, more than happy to let Patrick out first!

 

[Five&One]

Happy to play off scratch for a free knock. Obviously wont be entering score based sweeps on that basis as I play off 26 but happy to go with the flow and learn a bit off the low boys.

By the way. I have hired a buggy which anyone in my group would be welcome to hitch a free ride on. First come first served obviously.

Deke. I notice you have 3 x 4 balls but we have 4 tee times. They might appreciate having the unused tee time back for someone else to use. Pretty sure it will be busy since its free.

Anyone need a lift ? I am leaving Edinburgh at 7.15 am Must be back by 5pm. Got space for one if needed and don't mind a small detour.

 

[patricks148]

We are happy to play 2nd group, just its better if we fin the same time as dave will want to get back up the road sharp.

 

[Jungle]

Looking forward to this trip guys. My mate is definetly in for this as well.

Just a few thoughts though. Given that its a free round I'm more than happy to throw some money into a sweep but given that the scope of handicaps might be varied is it worth while having a scratch sweep alongside a handicap sweep. if everyone puts in a fiver there will be £60 in the pot that could be split across the two sweeps it would at least give the high handicappers a chance to bag some cash.

Five&one - If you are riding solo you can jump in with me an my mate at Dunfermline if you wish? We will be playing then having a bite in the clubhouse so should have you home by 17:00.

Is it too late for 3 balls :mmm:
