No one I play with can be bothered to go to Wales. However I think they are daft.


Teams of 4 (me + 3 more) £50 each to play Royal Porthcawl supposed to be a top course, scene of the 1995 (?) Walker Cup where Tiger got a gubbing.

Played Porthcawl and it is flipping fantastic. Unfortunately I can't make it down there for the event

I would echo that - only played once and it is a superb course - possibly my favourite links so far! Would love to play but can't commit

id def be up for this especially if your struggling for a 4th playing of 26 atm so wouldnt hold much faith on a links

 

[stef92]

I wish I could but I can't make it! Sorry… hope you get some people

I could possibly be interested if you can get enough for a team, especially if I can get a game the day before as well since it's a decent trek.

I've never played links though so I might be more of a liability than an asset!

right you're in !! never having played links golf won't be a problem in this team

Thats 2 maybe 3, all we need is one more !! (and hope that the entries are still open)

I would love to play this, I assume a current handicap cert is required.

Could well be interested in this if some of the above drop out.
Would you be staying a night or just a day trip??

If we play in it I'd like to play somewhere Monday as well and stay overnight.

Pyle & Kenfig looks very close and I've read good things about it.

Hey Swinger, I just pm'd Nick to say that I can't play in this now.
Enjoy, it should be great experience guys.

I just got a reply from the club, they currently have 2 spots left 4 or 5 hole start as it's a shotgun start.

If we want to do it I can fire off a cheque this weekend if we have 4 definites. Me. Gary, Steve & Saxmaster ??

I'd stay up near Bath so we could play somewhere around there on the Monday or as Gary suggests somewhere into Wales.

 

[saxmaster]

im def in, im in newport, and home course is st pierre. also if you guys are travelling im sure i could sort some accomodation deals in marriott

I have someone I could stay with in Swansea, but if everyone's stopping over and it's cheap enough I guess it would be nicer to all stay together somewhere.

I'm a definite. Can paypal or bank transfer to you if you're sending the entry off.

I don't know how many of us other than me are links virgins, but I'd definitely benefit from a links course on Monday just to get used to how different it is.

 

[Aztecs27]

Bah! Only just seen this. Could have been interested as it's not far for me from Gloucester.

 

[Region3]

Looking at the course I think the 5th would be better to start on than the 4th if you have the choice.

Just my opinion but I don't fancy a 200yd par 3 as a starter.

Do you know which tees it's played from?
