Princes Golf Club, Sunday 25th February 2018

[mashleyR7]

The Himalayas loop is brand new, holes have been changed and a new par 3 built so could be an interesting option. It has been open literally a few week so brand brand new!

Thanks for your hard work, Richard, to keep the show on the road :thup::thup:

 

[Hooker]

Thanks Richard, appreciate everything you are doing.

 

[Matty6]

Thanks for organising this Richard. Looking forward to meeting everyone and playing a fantastic course!

Quite happy to travel down and play if not on temps, bit of cold and wind that's what I call playing in fun conditions.

Joanne on the other hand said flipping heck, she is going to wear some tights, two pairs of trousers, four tee shirts, eight jumpers, nineteen coats and sixty seven pairs of gloves, as she hates the cold and she said no she does not wish to play another nine holes when I casually mentioned we could.:rofl:

Thanks for your the efforts BIM, ChrisD and wookle, greatly appreciated.

Cant wait to play with ChrisD and Radbourne, never played with them before, quite excited with the chance, thanks :whoo:

As you are bringing Joanne I had to find a couple of forummers who were vaguely house trained.... 😋

Ooooh..... what course has Radbourne been on then??:rofl:

None! He's cancelled out of the trip I believe

Only RSG I thought Chris, I believe Mark is still doing Sunday and Monday then leaving from RCP.

Do we need a clean thread to confirm attendance and for which days? If so any chance you could do the honours as posting from my phone is doing my head in. 🙃

BIM is right Chris, Mark is still doing Sunday and Monday and then heading home, in case Tuesday at RSG is a no go

Thanks for clarification of that

Cheeky sod! You're not getting away with it that easily Chris. I may mention Hankley Common once or twice on way round Princes...

Staying in Kings Head on Sunday to watch MOTD highlights of Spurs rolling over the Croydon massive COYS!

None! He's cancelled out of the trip I believe

Looking forward to meeting you & Joanne on Sunday. I've packed my hip flask(s). Bovril for Chris & Sloe Gin for us three...:cheers:

Great work Richard! See you at breakfast on Sunday :thup:

Right lady & gents, the groups are as follows;

12.00. mikejohnchapman, paddyc, Lincoln Quaker, Blue in Munich.

12.10. Badger, Dando, 94tegsi, Matty6.

12.20. Fish, 2blue, Hooker, Captainron.

12.30. Joanne Williams, Darren Williams, chrisd, Radbourne2010.

Don't think I've given anyone the same partner 2 days running but if I have let me know and I'll have a little shuffle around.

Breakfast at 11, see you all there. I'm hoping to be there from about 10 ish. As there is a lot of new blood to both a forum meet and links golf, I wasn't intending to make this a compulsory card, more a warm up for the main events, but for those that want to I'll collect £5 on the day and once we know how many want in I'll decide a split & announce it before we tee off.

I had an enquiry about extra holes after the booked 18, if anybody wants to it's £15 for an extra 9 payable in the shop on the day. Personally I'll be investing that in the coffee machine looking at the weather.

Darren & Joanne, I'll bring the paperwork so you can claim the Carer's Allowance for looking after chrisd, at least he won't dribble as much as it's cold...........

Usual form afterwards is to wander back into Deal, book into the various hotels and then assemble in the King's Head where we then decide where we will be off to eat over a few bevvies.

Any other queries respond in this thread, but you'll get no sense out of me this evening as I'm just off to watch Chelsea give Barcelona a lesson......... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Thinned a couple of 3 irons at the range today.....my hands are still shuddering!!!! Best I leave the 3 iron home for tomorrow! 😂

Has anything been booked for the Sunday evening curry?

My last experience was in Skegness on a Sunday last year. A crowd of us, having played Seacroft, wanted a curry. With some effort we found a curry house which would cater for our numbers. The next problem was finding taxis. The received wisdom was that you were wasting your time looking for a taxi in Skegness on a Sunday out of season. We did manage it but is Deal in February comparable to Skegness any time apart from July and August?

The curry house is walking distance from the accommodation.

Might just be able to walk there, but coming back may be an issue.
