Me and Qwerty are going to try to get a knock in, possibly down the southport/lancs coast in the first two weeks in December. So we don't get the worst of the weather we will just take off an afternoon, possibly with only a day or two's notice.

I'll look into options in the next week, but anyone got a 1/2 day or day's holiday left, self-employed or free who might want to make up a fourball, let us know, we'll try to get a fourball deal.
 
No worries, let me know which Monday if you're still after a 4th and I'll see what I can do.

Sick of playing on my boggy parkland course!

I was only joshing with you over the Monday.

I should tie down in a few days when I'm going on business to Wales, but I may ideally go for a Friday(as I can finish earlier).

Ok, for now it's

Reserve
Bluewolf

That said, I'm sure they are desperate for money so will try to get us all sorted, it's just some of the "premium" courses are offering fourball deals, and aren't always flexible.

I'll check with Wallasey, West Lancs, Formby ladies in the next few days.
 
Yeah, put me down as a reserve, date dependent.
Played West Lancs a couple of weeks ago - niiiiice :thup:

Pedro put me down as a possible la, I've got a job interview on Monday 4th but other than that I should be able to shot off around dinnertime. Ta la
 
Evening all.
I had a brief phone round a few clubs this afternoon. The best offer seemed to be S&A at £50 pp with a £5 catering voucher for the clubhouse.
Formby and West Lancs both £200 per 4 ball. Wallasey sounded promising at £40 pp until they told me that 6 holes were drop in the semi and likely to be on temps.
St Annes is £180 per 4 ball plus breakfast.

To be honest I'm easy so long as there's no Temps and were playing of fairways. I'd happily go back to Caldy, and Delamere could be an option if they're playing off fairways, I'm not sure on the prices though.

Whaddaya think?

I'm going to have to duck out of this sadly guys.

Having a nightmare at work that is likely to continue until Christmas at least.

With the reserves shouldn't be a problem, just disappointed not to be playing :(

Well done Qwerty. I've been struggling, until I know when I'm doing my visit to Wales, but hopefully one of the next two Fridays, and subject to weather.

I'll only be able to play an afternoon game, as I will use a half day, and it will probably have to be within 30 -40 miles of Runcorn, as I hope to leave work at 11.00 for a 12.00 tee time.

St.annes may be a possibility, subject to time.

I was checking out www.teeofftimes.co.uk or www.teetimes.co.uk and I think they had West lancs as cheap as £36, from memory, but maybe only select days. I should have more of an idea by next tuesday, so will see from there, but keep checking the options at the moment. Well done, fella.

Unlucky,NWJocko, maybe next time.
 
I've just spoken to Delamere - Full course playable, great condition (once it thaws) £46.
He mentioned that on the day there may be 1 hole taken out of play due to maintenance and if that's the case then the price should be less.
It could be an option if its still cold or windy with it not being as exposed as the other links.

Also it's not far from Runcorn:thup:

I didn't have much time today, but I checked out Heswall (Wirral) which is similar to Caldy.

Only £25 inc all day breakfast. A fella I work with is a member, he'll give me the heads up on Monday on the current state of the course.
 
The other one is Formby ladies at £140 per fourball (£35 each).

I wouldn't mind going somewhere new, another one is Ormskirk, but it's a parkland and not sure on prices, and state of the course.

I'm thinking Friday 14th at the mo, anyone got problems with that date - again subject to weather.
