Predictions for Woodhall Spa Pensioners v Athletes meet

If you're looking for an alternative venue, the Oxfordshire looks decent and comes in at a good price http://www.theoxfordshire.com/golf/golf-breaks but has only the 1 course. At the end of the day, I am happy with whatever is decided. Will assume that the Captains are remaining the same!!

Got to be honest, the Oxfordshire deal looks good value @ £169.00 during the Summer months. I don't mind playing the same course twice, and it beats the trek down to Cornwall. There is a 2 night, 3 round option for anybody who fancied going up there on the Friday. Bit dearer, but then it would be.
I wonder who might be up for that???
:whistle:
 
Brocket Hall would get my vote. Prefer to play two different courses rather than the same one twice. Unless it is the Hotchkin which doesn't seem an option.
 
Cant believe youre considering the Oxfordshire compared to some of the other venues you've mentioned, one of the most over rated courses around for me and not the most enjoyable especially if get any weather as it is so open to the elements.

Recently youve been able to get on there for £20 and £25 a man and theyve also been doing a sunday night deal for b&b + dinner + golf for £69, so if you fancy it id go that route personally
 
Could somebody start a new thread with a poll facility, I don't know how to do one!
I need to find out which is favoured between....

BROCKET HALL
ST MELLION
THE OXFORDSHIRE
FOREST PINES
WOODHALL SPA

I will then go with the majority

Like I said, Brocket Hall would be my 1st choice ;)

To be fair, I don't care where we play.

Have heard similar from a member at our club who came from the Oxfordshire. Think it is a marmite type of course.
 
Brocket Hall would be my choice, followed by Woodhall.

I'd like to do Cornwall again but more as a full week's tour, picking off some top courses enroute and back.

I think it will be tough wherever you decide to play this at smiffy. You need to get that fine balance between standard of course and location. As much as the course plays an important part, the actual meeting up with fellow forumers and being able to have a few beers is also part of it. If it is too far away, then less people are likely to put their names down for it and likewise if it is in a central location but at a crappy course . Good luck mate, i know you will do us proud whatever is decided.
 
Any of those dates would do me. just need to avoid school hols.

Don't mind the trek, allows for more golf cos I wouldn't travel 7hrs for one night, would make it a mini tour.

What about Stoke park or the like?

Ireland?
Turkey?
 
I'd be quite happy to go on the reserve list for this, bearing in mind my job situation hasn't changed, coupled with the fact that I wasn't at this years event due to being forced to "bomb out". Also, my rota for next year is up in the air due to oncoming redundancies. I don't want to attempt to take the place of someone who attended this years event.
 
June/July 2013 ???

I'm not even planning that far ahead to June/July this year. :eek:

I can understand your surprise Rog, but when you are talking about a popular venue with a large(ish) group of people and specific dates, you'll be surprised how quickly places fill up.
Leave it later in the year and you'll miss out!
