Royal Porthcawl Tuesday 21st Feb 2017

Ok. We're booked in to go off from 6th tee.

Can Team B PM me real names & CDH numbers please so I can complete the registration?

Thanks,

Craig

Cheers mate, PM sent.

The 6th looks a reasonable opener, no OB and I get a shot, what can go wrong?

They usually tuck the flag behind the front left bunker

It's an index 2 for a reason 😜 A Tough right to left dogleg, slight uphill if I remember rightly, not only a decent and accurate drive is required but it needs a good 2nd club to cut the corner rough and go for the green, I went through the back last time with my 4w into a pot bunker, and stayed there 😳😞⛳️

It'll have been an achievement if I can reach said bunker before I've picked up.

Likewise, quite exciting booking it in this afternoon!

Need to figure logistics for the Monday / figure if I can get down to Cardiff early enough to get a game in :thup:

Who is staying over on the Monday night and where? Options are Ibis in Newport (35 min drive in the morning) or there are places in Bridgend. I'm happy with either but need to know so we can all book the same place.

If we're playing on Monday then I'll be stopping over, don't know the area at all so will go with the decision of those in the know.

 

[SaintHacker]

I'll have to drive up on the day unfortunately

 

[huds1475]

I think I'll be staying overnight on Monday but think a game of golf might be stretching it

Assuming 4hrs best time Manchester to Cardiff, mix in Monday madness on m6 / m5 and limited daylight and it feels like a bit of a gamble?

If that's the case will be @ Porthcawl early for a practice and to make the most of the day.

To me the premier inns looked a decent bet for a decent bed and food within easy reach. Don't fancy too much logistical effort after a 4 hour + drive.

Will also be taking also single room. Am a fitful sleeper away from home so this option usually best for all concerned!

 

[Matty6]

Yeah, it could be a bit stretched for you to squeeze in a game on Monday. The offer is still there for a knock at Radyr if anyone has time. Sunset will be around 5.30pm at that time of year.

Like you Craig, I'll be getting to Porthcawl early for a good warm up/practice :fore:

Still fancy Radyr Matt, just need to work through the permutations :mmm:

 

[Crow]

Bump.

How are we all managing re getting a game in on the Monday?

I'm keen to play and the sooner I can get the holiday booked the better.
If we're not playing Monday then I'll probably travel down on the day.

Assuming we do play Monday, have we decided on accommodation?

Questions, questions!

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Hi Nick, I won't be playing on the monday but plan to travel down straight after work so should get there around 7pm for a beer and curry (depending on where we stay). Options are Newport or Bridgend I think.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

My Old Man is talking about coming down with me, to see some friends in the Swansea/Llanelli area.
We'll probably come down on the Monday, play RP on the Tuesday and look for a knock on Wednesday - was going to look at Pennard or Pyle & Kenfig if anyone else fancies similar.

 

[huds1475]

Things are a bit fluid at work right now, but should be able to lock in early next year.

Will definitely be staying over Monday night. Likely Bridgend.

Decisions about programme dates will dictate if I can play Monday or Wednesday (one only though) too.

 

[Twire]

Stick me down as a reserve for this. I could fill in at fairly short notice.

 

[IanM]

I could show up anywhere in South Wales on the Monday or Wednesday..
