My game's pretty much in tatters at the moment, but this sounds like too good an opportnity to miss, so if there are still places then I'm interested. I've booked the day off, and will let you know my dietary requirements, (there aren't any, I'll eat anything!), once it's confirmed there's room for me.

Tim.

(Note to self...learn how to hit a ball again!)
 
Sorry forgot to clarify it is smart casual afterwards. In essence what you are playing in unless it chucks it down and you are sopping wet when you'd be expected to wear something dry. Basically just pack a spare golf shirt and trousers in case but otherwise no golf shoes in the bar.

Don't worry Tim - you'll fit in just fine as you are!

Well as long as there's a booby prize, I'll have something to aim for. Last time I played I scored 14 stableford going out, (not so bad, two gross par/nett birdies in the first four holes!), but then only 4 coming back!! Perhaps I'll *use* my booby prize at Royal Ascot - some lovely, "Pink Lady 2" golf balls! ;)

Homer, cheers for the PM, I'll stick a cheque in the post today or tomorrow.

Tim.
 
Here is the latest list of those that have paid. Can any of those on the list that have registered an interest but not yet paid please let me know one way or another (ideally this week) whether they still want to come so I can give the club provisional numbers.

If anyone on the forum still wants to come then feel free to let me know. If you are a newbie it'll be a great chance to meet some of the real forum stalwarts and have a great day out. GM are going to send a couple along (no names yet but Mike and Jezz are at Royal Ashdown) and they won't be sending a photographer so if anyone fancies bringing a camera and taking some snaps that would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like the roast beef is the main course but if you haven't voted for dessert yet please do so (only if you're coming please). There was one person who said yes to special dietary requirements so if they could please PM me I'll make sure your needs are catered for.

I've ordered the trophies. There is 1st 2nd and 3rd, nearest the pin and longest drive. There will be other prizes to for most points on the par 3 and one for the lowest points total. GM have said they might provide a few additional prizes but I'm waiting on Mike to confirm that

...they won't be sending a photographer so if anyone fancies bringing a camera and taking some snaps that would be greatly appreciated.

I'll probably bring my DSLR, and if anyone wants their swing filmed in slow-motion I'll bring my high-speed camera too!

It can do this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGY3CsCcsxw

You need to learn how to use it first Tim!! :) That picture of the Anser from above needs the aperture closing down a bit!!! :D :p
 
Was it Pieman requesting a salad?
;)

[/QUOTE]

Was it that obvious? :D
 
Can I ask the following people who expressed an initial interest in playing on June 9th to confirm if they are definitely coming please so I can give the club and caterer an idea of numbers

Beck9965
Golfmmad
Harrymonk + Dad
Jahmoo
Justoneuk
Mattdeeks

If anyone including any newbies are interested then please let me know as soon as possible so I can send you payment details.
 
I'm definitely coming.... writing the cheque now...... if I can find a pen on this sh*thole that is my desk! :(

How did you get on at Pyrford.. Preford... Peryford or whatever it's called? :D
 
I played OK in patches. I started bidies, bogey par and was pretty good for the front nine (17pts and one blob). Fell away in dramatic fashion on the back nine and lost four balls in the last five holes. HTL didn't like it. Not sure if it was the course or not (I have an idea it was something else) but he wasn't really into it. He did make an eagle though by holing out his wedge on 15. Not that I saw it as I'd pushed my drive down a bank and was coming around after hitting my recovery. It's not a bad course but it was painfully slow. The greens were quick but the bunkers were poor. It was a decent day out though and free is always a good price to pay.
 
Homer:

sorry - not been paying much attention to the "arrange a game" section recently. I'll put a cheque in post. Was a good day last year so no reason to suppose not the same again this.

Will be good to see again those who turned out last year - and to meet for the first time those who didn't.
