Saturday 24th March Stoke Rochford and Belton Park

[GB72]

During March I have the luxury of being the member of 2 clubs so Viscount17 and I are looking to play both of them on Saturday 24th March as they are only a few miles from each other. The invitation is open to anyone who wants to make the group up to a 4 ball.

There is no need to book tee times at either but to ensure we get round in daylight I was looking at a start at Stoke at around 8.30.

The cost for each round will be less than £20 as you will be signed in as a member guest so you are looking at 36 holes on 2 great courses for less than £40.00. First come first served for those who are interested and available.

Its on your way to Leeds if you fancied a stop over.

 

[Aztecs27]

I'll have HID in tow, so can't unfortunately.

Only an idea..
I fancy this. You could go past Aztec, get your misses to drop you off, she could carry on upto leeds and then I could drop you off back in leeds after we've played..

This *might* work, but I'm not sure if we're going up Friday night or Sat morning yet as she's arranging to do stuff with her old mates from School. Even if I can't make it, you definitely should do it! Two great courses that are worth the trip

Thought I would give this a bump to see if anyone is interested. Would look to tee off at Stoke around 8.30 which will allow time to get to Belton and have a bite to eat and get round in daylight.

Pity I'm teaching. Weekends are always tricky for me.
Sounds as if you've settled in to BP ok

To be honest I have been mixing it up between there and Stoke as had a few pre-existing commitments their. My efforts to integrate at Belton start in earnest at the new members comp on 25th March.

may well be up for this. straight up the A1 aswell. Would mean an early start & late finish, a good warm up for Woburn on the Thursday

will let you know for definite by tomorrow

i'll have a little chat with HID, would rather play these courses than a scramble at my place, although I'm scheduled to play the Shropshire the day before

Lump drives like Senna - take your heart medication!

Not looking certain that I'm going to Leeds now, so this is probably off the cards anyway

I'm in if there is still space

Can everyone confirm that they are OK with this. Suggest meet at Stoke Rochford at 8ish, 18 holes there then head for Belton. Will just confirm at the weekend that there is nothing booked at either course.

I'm still game. Only a hour and bit down the road. I love lincolnshire, I wished I lived down there.

You're in for a treat with the two courses lined up too. Not played Stoke for years, but it's a great track. Belton Park is one of my favourite courses and should be in really good condition by next weekend.

GB, i'll leave Coventry around 6 and stop for eats on the way, can you pm me the location as I believe you have previously posted it's not the easiest to find

cheers

Directions are easy you just need to know what you are looking for. It is on the Northbound carriageway of the A1. Now these are directions you will not hear very often but it is behind a BP petrol Station and opposite a sex shop on the other carriageway. If you are coming from the South then just turn into the BP Station about 3 miles before Grantham and drive past the shop you will see the barrier in to the golf club. If you are coming from the North, go past the sex shop then take the next exit, you can then turn right, come over the flyover and back down the other carriageway to the BP garage. You can just hang a u turn but that takes a bit of guts and blind faith to get accross.

are we still set for an 830 tee time?
