We have currently raised £897.56 towards my initial £750.00 target for The British Heart Foundation, and with £202.50 Gift Aid taken into consideration we are just over the £1,000.00 mark, and even taking a full 5% off for the JG costs, we should still finish with a comfortable 4 figure mark, especially with a few more fun challenges that will help raise a few more £££'s on the day :whoo:
So thank you to everyone who has donated, whether it be in conjunction with sponsoring a hole, a challenge or simply making a donation because of the day :thup:
All sponsorship/donations and anything raised on the day through the Raffle, Golf Darts, blackouts, Putting Comp & North Vs South will be going to the charity of the day which Karen (Rick's wife) has chosen, and is the British Heart Foundation.
All pledges/donations/sponsorships are to be paid directly to my Just Giving page HERE and is in my signature.
The 1st tee has been been sponsored again after being messed about and let down, thanks Brian & Mark :thup:

This is now CLOSED, tee times have been announced.
Unfortunately after contacting The Mid Amateur Tour some 3 months ago, I have endured 2 months of broken promises and assurances regarding the sponsorship for the 1st Tee and even the individuals green fee.
As such all links and acknowledgments previously given to The Mid Amateur Tour have now been removed and MR Jason Morris will no longer be attending.
Anyone with any doubts about not being able to attend PLEASE contact me ASAP, I cannot obtain any refunds now , but its not just the finances, it's more about having to rejig the tee groups which could cause minor issues for me.

Registration to collect cards and ask any questions regarding the day and to pay any balances, buy raffle tickets and take part in some pre-round challenges will be upstairs in the lounge area.
Bacon rolls & coffee will be available from 9am (possibly earlier) with breakfast if you want something a little more substantial ( an idea of numbers wanting more may be helpful).
With the 1st tee time of 11am we have plenty of practice facilities on site for you to warm up and keep occupied.
There is a small putting area in front of the well stocked Pro shop and 18th green where a pre-round challenge will be set up to win a prize.
We will have a large inflatable dart board on the balcony (weather permitting) to play golf darts to win 50% of the funds collected.
There is a chipping/putting area (between 2 x posts) to a green with 2 flags behind the laurels surrounding the 1st tee.
There is also a bunker to practice out of to the same green.
There is a pitching area approximately 150+ yards long that runs to the chipping green with multiple flags at varying distances.
There are 2 x net bays. Please be aware of players on the 8th fairway, there is a sign asking you to not hit into the net (noise) when players can be seen adjacent.
There is a long-game practice area that is between 190-230 yards, most of you will be able to use your driver as I rarely see these 'forum distances' at meets :smirk: This is over the 8th fairway behind the nets, you will see it to your right as you drive in. When crossing the 8th fairway look to your left and make sure nobody is teeing off before walking over.
There may be some range (used found from the course) practice balls to purchase to use on there which I am still working on. They'll be £1 (for BHF) for 15 balls so you can hit them and not worry about retrieving them.
Even though we have tee times from 11am - 12.40 currently, I would ask if EVERYONE can arrive well BEFORE the 1st tee time please so I can welcome you personally before going out myself. Ideally I'd like everyone on site before 10am if possible, I've worked hard on this day, please support me (and my helpers) as it's been a lot of work and arrangements on my own and I want to enjoy the day as much as you.
With 8 minute intervals there's a very good possibility we will get ahead of your tee-times anyway, unless too many knob their 1st drives to the pond in the trees on the right, if it goes down to that area, reload, its not guaranteed to be found if you haven't seen it drop in sight.
We are playing off the whites and playing a Stableford format, if you can't score, please pick up, if your looking for a ball and a group is waiting behind, please let them through.
Towels are provided in the shower room along with shampoo/body soap.
Smart casual with a collar (clean trainers & jeans allowed) afterwards for the meal & presentations.
Playing groups have now been announced.
Any questions ask me either on here or if personal PM me.
Thank you, I'll see you all next week :thup:

We should get ahead of those tee times as 8 minute intervals is our normal medal gaping.
Registration is from 09.00hrs, earlier if you want as I'll be there. Please arrive in plenty of time, ideally well before the first tee time so I have nothing to worry about and can enjoy the day myself.
There is plenty to do before you go out, there will be a fun Putting Competition and an inflatable Golf Darts competition, so please bring plenty of change (£1 coins) for these challenges to win more prizes, there is a raffle and some 'on course' fines plus plenty of practice area to warm up if you're feeling competitive.
So PLEASE arrive well before my tee time at 11am, I've put a lot into this, it's all I'm asking of you :thup:
Anything you want to bring along will be warmly appreciated, bottles of wine, beer, prizes & presents you don't want which can be passed on, anything to help boost the raffle table
Thank you.

Fish - I have just transferred you the £20 balance to your bank account - so I am now all paid up in full. Cheers.
Yes, we have a Junior championship teeing off at 2pm which he needs to be around with the lady captain for the start & finish. He also needs to present awards etc, unfortunately it potentially overlaps and he doesn't want to worry about timings.
He'll be around though Ben, I'll get you together.

Cool, :thup:
Just a note, if anyone is struggling to attend and is concerned, I do have 1 reserve who has come forward, but due to the distance and arrangements they'd have to make, the cutoff for notice is Wednesday.

Ryder Cup Winner
1-1 is the current score in the North vs South challenge that we've had at previous big meets, but this time they havent had the luxury of knowing the course first, as we have normally played it on their manor.......
I've asked Rob if we're okay to do it again, and he's fine with that.
Basically £10 in per player. All the proceeds go into one pot, the winning team take half out and drink beer in front of the estranged losing team. The charity received the other half. In essence if we had 12 players each = £240, £120 to the charity and £120 can be shandy tokens if the southerners win, or keg beer when the northerners win.
I'd ask for a captain/volunteer for the southern belles who will be arriving early enough to collect said £10's from their team and I'll collect ours, but suggest Bluewolf as our capitano........if he's happy to.:thup:
Dont give your monies to Robin, as he has enough on his plate.
So whose game? If one team is unbalanced, we can allocate you a team and previous addresses, accents, footy teams may be accepted as proof of one or the other. Please copy and paste, if your unsure of what team you may be in, put your biography in for selection purposes
EG
D4S - Living in the south for 30 years, but of Caledonian stock, so could play for either.
Mike Harris, southerner but went and contracted "Evertonitis", a malady affecting the brain, of which the Liverpool tropical school of medicine has stopped collecting funding for, as they have now given up.
Copy and paste to keep the list up-to-date, and put your handicap in, so we can allocate the batting for either sides fairly.
Northern Barons:-
Liverbirdie (h/cap 6) 8th Duke of mediocrity-on-sea
Southern Belles:-
Fat lads in goal (could be either team):-
We'll pick something like best 9 from 12 scores from each team (or similar), once we have a better idea of numbers.
Everyone is welcomeand if all partake, we would raise an extra £240 for the BHF.:thup:

If this is anything like lining up against the wall in the school playground waiting to be picked then it could be interesting. As far as the northerners are concerned, I'm definitely 'fat kid in goal' material as I am the most lightweight drinker ever to come out of Scotland.
However, I could be captain of the shandies team!
Support Southampton and Greenock Morton so pick the bones out of that one :mmm:

Lives in the land where they put the cream on the scones first, Welsh parents and lived in the far north (of the world) and far south, willing to cock it up for either side.

Could have a decent points tally to add to my team as I’ve covered every blade of grass, of all lengths 😳
It’s got to be sarf for me 😎
