Royal Cinque Ports - Monday 22nd Feb 2016

[SaintHacker]

You Saints fans really are softies!

Considerably higher up the table than you softies!
Whens the draw taking place? Looking forward to finding out who I will be losing money to

 

[Smiffy]

Serious cold/flu at the moment. Feel like death warmed up, can hardly walk let alone anything else.
Hope it clears before next week...

 

[TopOfTheFlop]

Smiffy wasn't best please last year no and my brolley ended up somewhere in France by the end of the round!

It only hailed for one hole last time. oo: Still have memories of Topoftheflop chasing after his brolley which was heading out to sea. Smiffy didn't look very happy from memory.:mmm:

Mine has lasted two weeks so far Rob. Barking like a good un, which should come in handy when the opposition are putting.

Surely that's just generic to where you live and your age?

Right, here you are. Despite a strong push from Richart to be out in a group of 1, the draw is below. I don't have any pets so this one was all drawn by me, and as the RSG draw was done first I did tweak it slightly so that anyone playing both days has different playing partners on both days:

12:00

12:10

Dando

I've spoken to RCP this week and confirmed all of the details. Arrival before 11am please because food (full breakfast) is booked for 11:00 which gives us time to eat at a leisurely pace, change shoes and have a quick putt before going out. Clean & dry golf clothing is fine in the bar both before & after but it isn't a spike bar so no golf shoes (they do specify smart shoes). Nothing special in their dress code so Adizero away, if that's your choice of golf shoe, please do note though that "For gentlemen, shorts must be accompanied by the wearing of knee length socks."

Quite a few people have paid in full but for those that haven't, the second £32.50 is payable in cash on the day and try to have the £2.50 in change please. I'll learn from that one and make the deposits/final payments round numbers next time!

I suggest a small amount to add a competitive edge, how would people feel about £5 in, paying first, second, front & back? Too much, or OK? We could just do £/£/£ instead.

See you all on Monday! Looking forward to this one a lot, I loved this course last time. The various weather sites disagree about whether or not we'll get showers but they all agree it'll be relatively mild and a bit breezy. Layers are probably the answer, Fish will be along in a minute to recommend a well-known clothing firm .

 

[TopOfTheFlop]

Excited!
Smiffy try not to cough all over the tee box when we're there!!!

 

[Fish]

Well done Ben, I shall be sporting my various layering Galvin Green outfits, signed photos will be available 👍😎🏌⛳️

Good luck if he keels over, and you have to give mouth to mouth.

Any ideas on the best route M2 or M20 ? Seem about the same in time and distance, but not sure which will be busier on a Monday morning. SatNav tries to avoid M20 but it can't be trusted.

Good work

Me and therod playing together on both day

If I choose the M1/M25 it tells me the M2, if I choose M40/M25 it tells me the M20, both are the same time and mileage, I'd favour the M40 for me but like you, that last choice between the M2 or M20 could be s critical choice 🤔

 

[Dando]

I was thinking of picking up the m20 at sidcup and avoid going near canterbury

 

[Oxfordcomma]

Damn, sorry you two, I thought I'd caught all of those. Ah well, looks like a challenge match then?

 

[Deleted member 1418]

Cheers Ben; very happy with my playing partners :thup: Although if Dando isn't a Chelsea fan he's in for a long afternoon!!!

 

[richart]

I imagine he is out celebrating at the moment.

I'm liverpool fan I'm afraid

 

[richart]

I'm liverpool fan I'm afraid

Perhaps drop back and try and make a five ball with the group behind ?

 

[Oxfordcomma]

That'll work well then, you can all talk about next year's European campaigns ... oh.

From West use the m26, then m20 (so basically get off m25 ASAP), then cut across from m20 to m2 using the a249.

 

[SammmeBee]

M20 all the way to Dover....mind 40mph but for last 5 miles but it's way quicker to Deal. If going to Sandwich then maybe consider M2.......
