I'll collate the people who've said yes so far, and get a list going tomorrow night, as still on hols.

Anyone else waiting in the wings, its all in a good cause and a chance to have a beer on the other team, although it is optional.:thup:

For clarification:-

Scouse mam, Scouse dad, Scouse born and bred. Irish ancestry deffo on my dad's side.

If any further proof is needed last night in a "Boss" Findon restaurant I asked for whippet tails cooked in Lard served within a tabernacle of Ken Dodd's teeth and Hilda Ogden's best lumpy mash and mushy peas on the side.

For starter I also eat Kes, after our Judd killed him and which was served on a wheel rim of a Ford Capri (1982 vintage).

BTW It was tea not dinner.:thup:

Thank you for all the extra payments :thup:

If at any time you want to pay the balance (£20) to the same account you did for the deposit, please feel free to do so. It would help to save time on the day not having to collect any cash when you register your arrival from 9am, but if you still want to do that, it's not a problem, just an option, I have highlighted those with balances to pay, just as a friendly reminder and to ensure my admin is correct ;)

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.

Thank you.

We should get ahead of those tee times, but 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 on the balcony, 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 lots 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 you don't want that you think were naff and don't want etc, anything to help boost the raffle table :cool:

Thank you.

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 from 9am, although I will be there much earlier.

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 and some fun challenges 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 prizes.

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 I've put together 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, 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 towards 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 above.

Any questions ask me either on here or if personal PM me.

Thank you, I'll see you all on Friday :thup:

Robin I'm not sure about getting ahead of our tee times if we are playing 4 balls at 8 minute intervals. We use 10 minute intervals for 3 balls in our medals and the course flows much better when spaced out a bit more. I would suggest that if at all possible the times are increased to 10 minute gaps :thup:
