Saturday 24th March Stoke Rochford and Belton Park

[GB72]

Looks Like it. Viscount is the only one not to confirm yet but will text him tomorrow. No need to book tee times at either so we can head out as soon as we are all there and ready. Going to be knackered by Monday with 36 holes Saturday and,a comp on Sunday.

18 today, 18 friday 36 saturday and 18 sunday is my schedule this week

Just the 36 sat and 18 sunday for me. Looking forward to meeting some more GM'rs.

 

[GB72]

Looking forward to it. As I have a massive £27 in the pro shop that I need to use before the end of next week, I may even put up an overall prize (depends on whether they finally get any Titleist Velocity balls in because if they do I am having a dozen of them).

 

[GB72]

Viscount17 has confirmed that he will be there so the 4 ball is complete. Here's hoping the weather is like it is today.

See you all Saturday morning, I will be there from 8.00 having coffee in the bar. We can set off as soon as the pro shop opens and I can sign you in (meant to be 8 but often nearer half past).

I'd be happy to throw £5 in the prize fund, if we all did this you could use your pro shop voucher in exchange for the cash.

 

[GB72]

Do not worry about that. You lot have to pay a little for the golf, I am covered so happy to chuck in my £27 if there is no Velocity balls in.

 

[Lump]

No prizes needed my friend.
If anything we can play £1 per 9 holes and £1 for the winner is always enough.

May need to at least bring a wooden spoon so as Viscount17 has something to compete for

Not true, you beat me by one shot around Wyboston Lakes. We both shot gross 84s but your handicap was 1 higher than mine.

I am hoping it will be open what with the new members comp on Sunday. Those bunkers look lethal.

Are we going to grab some food before the second round or grab a sandwich en route to Belton park?

I would suggest getting to Belton Park and having some food there before you tee off. The food is excellent, as is the beer (Black Sheep on tap, winner).

I can highly recommend the Chicken Caesar Wholemeal Hoagie with chips.

 

[GB72]

Either club is good for food plus I will be stopping for a Bacon roll at the half way hut at stoke. Cheap and very good

Thanks GB72, lump and viscount17 for your company, really enjoyed the day.

 

[GB72]

A big thanks to all 3 of you for turning up and, more to the point, waiting for 2 hours for the fog to clear. Pity we had to miss a couple of holes at Belton but I hope you all still got value for money out of the two rounds. Next time it will have to be 27 holes at Belton and would be good to see you all back in the Summer when the course is at its finest.
