Royal St Georges - Tuesday 24th February 2015

[wookie]

I did say that I'd do it on the Tuesday but couldn't if it were to be Sunday Wookie, I assumed that made me a bold

Apologies Chris I had indeed missed your post (no. 32) in the other thread where you confirmed for Tuesday so that makes you the 8th man.

So the 8 places are now taken

wookie
therod
richart
pieman
swingalot
blue in munich
murph
chrisd

Top of the flop is current reserve.

Happy to go with the flow, but casual would suit. We will need jacket and ties at RCP's though.

Still trying to sort out RCP at the moment Rich. They are proving to be very difficult to actually contact and arrange!
On the basis I am aiming for an 11am start there, would the food option still be viable?
Bearing in mind we were on the course for 5 hours last time round, it would mean we won't get in until around 4pm or thereabout.
Will they still serve food for a "society" at that time????

Tee is now booked at Royal Cinque Ports from 11.00am on Monday 23rd February.
5 tee slots in all, so enough room for 20 players.
Same deal as last time, £65.00 to include coffee/bacon rolls on arrival and a two course meal afterwards.
I will be asking for £30.00 deposit as Chris did for the last meet, but won't need this until just into the New Year.
So game on!!

Missed all these threads! Doh. RSG is great - but you MUST have the full meal - best golf lunch going.

Gentlemen
Enjoy your day. Some comments on stuff in this thread

I would be very surprised if you cannot organise an extra tee time or two at RSG if required. The course is seldom busy at that time of the year. If you have a problem, let me know.

You will be on the course for ever. Typical round on a Tuesday takes 41/2 - 5 hours. Of course you may get lucky!

Lunch at RCPGC is best avoided. Bar snacks are OK but if you want proper food I'd go into town!
RSG is. on the other hand, comfortably the best golf course lunch in the country. They (usually) charge by the course so you can pile the plate high for a single course for around £18 (IIRC)

Handicap limit is 18. Honestly you wont enjoy much it if you cant get round your home course in less than 90. Its manageable in February because the cut (most of) the rough down but it wont be much fun!

Anything else. let me know.

Chaps - unfortunately I am now out of this and RCP as I have to be in Brussels for work. I know where I'd rather be!

Apologies but I am sure my spot will be snapped up pretty quickly!

some thoughts on this trip.

RSG Worth making the effort for lunch. Definately the best GC lunch in the country. However, the 2 course snack bar linch is also pretty good. Beer is rubbish. If you have any beer drinkers ask for a pint from the main bar.

If you go to RCP, the bar snacks are fine but if you want proper lunch, I'd go into town.

18 handicap is a good idea. Most of the rough will be cut down but even so, if you struggle to play to 18, you may not enjoy it. There is a lot of very long grass - even after they have cut a lot of it down !

You will find the tees of the day quite far forward. RSG generally has no problems with visitors playing off any tees they like. So, if you are half-way competent I suggest you use the mens medal tees (small red wooden blocks about 6600) as opposed to tees of the day (Red wooden boxes)

If you want another tee time, I am sure they can oblige. Its usually not that busy in February

810 is a decent tee time (unless there is frost in which case you will have to cool your heels) 'cos you will be at the front of the field and can enjoy the lunch.

RCP is well worth a visit. Great golf course and probably harder than RSG (from medal tees). But see comments above about the lunch.

If you have any questions, just ask.

That bumps me up to first reserve, I believe, with about as much chance of a game as a snowball in... Oh well - back to my pit.

Are you a member at RCP's OR RSG's ?

Thanks for the tips. We played RCP's a few weeks back, and had a cracking lunch. Steak and kidney pud and apple crumble. Topped off a great day, and even Smiffy ate his, well apart from the kidney. Certainly try the food at RSG's.:thup:
