Of course it wouldn't.
I can get on any private course down here on a week-end if I'm prepared to pay a green fee.
And we're not just talking the £100.00 a round ones.
Some couses dont let visitors play at all at weekends unless signed in by a member.
Plus, you need quite a few tee times booked on a Sat and Sun.
How many good courses have summer weekends where they have no comps on at all. I hate to seem pessimistic but I forsee problems.
Gary, I'd imagine you'd pay a daily green fee so the afternoon foursomes wouldn't be that much extra.

It could always be held "down south". Why travel all that way just for rain/sleet and midges
I think the idea is a sound one. If some Scottish lads fancied coming "down South" to play a Ryder Cup type of event, I certainly wouldn't mind putting a couple of them up at my house to keep the costs down.
Jesus. There are enough members down this way that could do the same and we could choose venues around this way that are in between so to speak.
Let's not diss the idea straight away.
With a bit of organisation this could work. It would be a laugh.

keep away from August, 3 dayer, foresome & foreball each day and singles third day.
I'd be up for that. Coastal course, bit of nightlife or how about Woodhall spa.
Got to be cheaper for day golf x 2 rounds than paying for individual rounds

Does that mean I have to drive all the way to Woodhall Spa???

Woodhall Spa do good package prices, I'd certainly have no qualms about playing there. But there are plenty of other places that "do deals" at weekends.
We've just come back from Forest Pines, 2 nights accommodation, 4 rounds of golf and all food for £235.00 all in. That included a Saturday and Sunday
You could have foursomes on Friday afternoon, foursomes again on Saturday morning, fourball betterball on Saturday afternoon and singles on Sunday morning!
There's loads of time to sort this out, we are talking about NEXT year. All we need is a little organisation and it's a "goer"

Thetre don't seem to be many Scottish replies, which makes it a bit of a no.

Is Slaley Hall close enough (and good enough?) to coax a few Picts south?

p.s. It's probably the only way we would win though.... hang on, we could play some parkland courses, those that have trees, that would fool them
