Scottish Forum Grand Outing September 3rd

[Tommo21]

Thankfully Crail appear to be more flexible than you or Dunbar and have offered to reschedule the date to accommodate both trips if people so desire.

I went for the dates on here......the dates you and others wanted, you knew it was a one round deal...something you were happy about, as you mentioned in previous posts. As I said many times, I’m not trying to steal your thunder, just trying to get a good deal for everyone, a deal I never thought I would get.

To say Dunbar is being inflexible is outrageous with the price they have offered me, and I hope no one from my club is looking in.

To even suggest I’m being inflexible doesn’t look good on your part. I’ve used my members privilege and more to get this forum a deal, to save people money off the back of my membership and with the good will on Dubar's part. I PM you then contacted Dunbar in the off chance I could use my members day privilege and you say I’m being inflexible. You're out of order there.

What do you want me to do, what would you like. How more flexible do you want me to be. This is a steal, everyone knows that. If you wanted me to go to other dates then why didn't you say so in the first place. If you want 36 holes then don’t put out that your not bothered, then come in later with how far our going to travel as a reason.

Your last few post don’t look good. They dont look good to me and I dont think they'll look good to anyone else.

It's your gig, Crail it is.

"You can please all of the people half of the time, and half of the people all of the time" springs to mind!!

It's great when you get guys sticking their neck out to organise these types of days... all you can do is get solid numbers of interest and book where you want.

I'm torn between Crail and Dunbar, so it'll come down to what days they are on!!

 

[lobthewedge]

Are there still spaces at Hillside?

Just kidding.

Happy to play anywhere, just want a day away playing on a decent track. By the looks of it both venues could attract healthy numbers, so why not start separate threads and get the ball rolling for your respective courses?

 

[Val]

It won't please everyone but Craw set the ball rolling and it should be his call and if people dont go then so be it, Tommo got a great offer for Dunbar and I'm sure plenty of us would love to go but as I mentioned at the start I feel 36 holes gives more options on formats for the day and Crail is hardly an old cow field in comparison to Dunbar, its a great track.

Guys it's the weekend, let's get this on the road again.

Good shout, some may play in both.
I'm guessing there's no Ryder cup event happening at Goswick the back end this year??

 

[Iaing]

Deja vu

Wasn't there a proposal to hold a forum "Scottish open" a couple of years back which fizzled out due to folks inability to agree on a venue or date.

Democracy has its place. But not when organising a forum meet !!!

 

[thecraw]

As I said, Crail are prepared to honour the deal another time. I have asked them for availability in May and June and I'll update.

 

[bigslice]

this back and forth is a pain, keep it to PM, as far as im aware thecraw has started this and whatever he feels is the right deal for US i will follow. iang has said this has happened before so lets make a go of it. glad i never signed up for hillside doh!!!!!!

 

[Hickory_Hacker]

Hi Guys ... Any news on this one?

 

[DavidO]

I can't do the 3rd, but can make either 10th or 17th.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Hi guys,

Just back from a weekend away and a bit saddened reading through this thread.

FWIW it sounds to me like two guys going above and beyond to offer a great opportunity to their fellow forumers, just a shame wires seem to have got a bit crossed.

craw, tommo - thanks very much for all your organising efforts. Wouldn't blame either of you for backing off from the hassle. If not then, dates permitting, I'd love to take you up on either Crail or Dunbar or both!

 

[bigslice]

im sure there will an event, and it will announced once ALL the deals have been looked at

 

[Naybrains]

Hi guys,

Just back from a weekend away and a bit saddened reading through this thread.

Don't be sad about it, we're all fine. Whatever happens we'll get a game at either venue or both!
Agree, Craw & Tommo top effort so far chaps.

 

[Wayman]

If you's play Dunbar I'll be up for it depending on dates

 

[bluetoon]

Agree, to the above

Guys, group hug and lets try and make both venues.

 

[DCB]

Anything to report ?

 

[SS2]

Anything to report ?

Yes, this thread is tremendously entertaining !

Quite how a dummy came to be spat out beggars belief but unfortunately highlights the problem of trying to organise something like this using democratic means.

Why not just agree to have 2 outings? I reckon any more than 16 players gets tricky to handle for the organiser for all sorts of reasons.

 

[Dodger]

Anything to report ?

Yep,Tommo and Craw are currently kissing and making up on a weekend break away together at wait for it.............


Dalmahoy.:rofl:

 

[SS2]

Dalmahoy.:rofl:

Dodger, sometimes I think you are just trying to stir things up on this forum. Stop interfering in the Craw/Tommo reconciliation and please start posting some more Rangers jokes.

 

[thecraw]

No no Dodger that is all wrong.

Anyway I am working on a solution which I do hope (and believe) will offer the best compromise which will allow two meets to take place and solve the issue of the Edinburgh based forumers not wishing to travel further than one of their drives. (tongue firmly in cheek before they all start moaning.) (again)

Glasgow Gailes came back to me again yesterday and they are putting a proposal to they're council on Monday and I will hear back from them after that.

Basically we can split salt'n'vinigar and salt'n'sauce.

Gailes is also an Open qualifying course so people can take their pick. I will also arrange Crail for another date.
