Royal St Georges - Tuesday 28th February 2017

[Fish]

Conveniently free in Feb/March/April next year...bring it on! :thup:

Played this wonderful course last year with Mid-Am guys www.northforeland.co.uk Well worth a look.

As much as I enjoyed Littlestone an hour drive to the hotel was more than I expected and I'm waiting for the postman to bring something nasty due to all those cameras!

That does look ok and is much nearer (20mins) to the central point of the hotel in Deal.

You could also do Princes, and stay at the lodge (its boss). Very good food, a late bar(if required), sky sports and a smallish snooker table.

2 nights, (2 optional rounds of golf on their 27 holes of golf), 2 brekkies, 2 evening meals can be had for £150......if you got a load, maybe even less.

We played dunes and shore on the Sunday, we were going to play Himalayas as a warm up before playing RCP, but due to the bad weather sacked it.

North Foreland is a decent course and very close to the sea, it isn't a links course though.

Simon,

Are you limited on numbers for RSG.

It would be nice to play RSG then Turnberrry a few weeks later.

2 open rota courses in a month. Quality.

We had 36 this year and Im pretty sure the society after us were booked from 940 onwards so the only way to increase would be to see if we could get a few out earlier than 8

RSG for 2017 booked in the domestic diary.

I have driven past North Foreland a few times and it does look like a decent course

James my old buddy, do you mean 2018. I am good for this in 2018

James my old buddy, do you mean 2018. I am good for this in 2018

yes, i mean 2018 for the forum meet, although i might be tempted to have another go later this year.

Wookie, thanks for organising.
Jerry, Mark and Lee, thoroughly enjoyed your company on a terrific day on a superb golf course.
What a place, very playable but very testing course at the same time.
I only hit my ball into deep rough twice all day (1 topped on the tee) and unsurprisingly lost my ball on both occasions! I'm sure it's a brute in the summer. Hopefully I'll make it back next year too.
Few pics here for those that are interested.. https://goo.gl/photos/JzpW9re6xSXZmGTc6

cheers Robin :thup:

just to think, I had a 3 off the tee blob, and pushed a 5i off the course. The winning margin could've been so much bigger :rofl:

We also had an accumulative score prize over the 3 courses for those that played them :smirk:

Hooker: 36-32-32 = 100
Fish: 28-35-31 = 94
MJC: 30-25-30 = 85
Trojan615: 21-31-32 = 84

If & buts mate, I was scoring well on the front 9 only to blob the 9th and turn on 16 points, then I scrambled it back to 1 under handicap walking off the 13th only to blob the 14th & 16th but finished with a nice par on 18, non-scoring holes are a killer and just 1 point on each of my 3 blobs would have put me in 2nd and the prizes but more importantly, I'd have got my own back on Peter :smirk:
