Society Day at Cooden Beach Golf Club, East Sussex.

Just to add my two penneth. I like the idea of Murphs team comp in the morning and medal pm. Although I like Texas scramble, think over 18 holes is a bit much, fine for just 9 if on a 27 hole society with 18 hole medal or stableford in the afternoon.

I'm happy to go with the majority, and I'll do what the boss says! :D :D :D

net birdie, net birdie, blob - 3x3x0 = 0

Can strain some friendships, I'm told.

Hmmmmm, You and I make birdies and Smiffy blobs the hole for zero points.... is it a penalty shot for snapping someone else's new Pings?
 
Right. Decision time........

Morning round. 3 ball Stableford. Best 2 scores on each individual hole to be counted. That way, anybody who is having a 'mare can still contribute with a 3 pointer on the last hole even if they have blobbed the previous 17 (are you listening James? ;))

Afternoon round. 3 balls. The cut and thrust of medal. No gimmes, no N/R's (it doesn't get dark until about 9.00pm at that time of year).

If we round the entry fee up to £65.00 and we can get 21 players (7x3) then that will give us £84.00 spare for me to get some trophies made up for the team event, the medal winner and possible nearest the pin and longest drive prizes. How does that sound?
To help me organise it, please could you let me know your official handicaps???

I might even stay over and play Hollingbury on the Saturday - I know it's not the greatest but I grew up across the road from it.

I might be up for a game at Hollingbury, if I can swing it with HID after playing all day Friday. :cool:

Quite like it there, and it's only down the road from me - played there last year, once on a society day and then another friendly round.

If that's ok Viscount, and will confirm nearer the time.

I'd be interested Golfmmad, but I'm similar to James in that I wouldn't be able to give 100% on it just yet; it will probably just be dependent on staying at my mates house down the road.

Smiffy, regarding handicap; the last official handicap I had was from about a year ago (24)

I played off 18 with friends just before I had my knee op though, probably because it was easy to add up

I'll have to see how much golf I can get in before Cooden before I let you know how terrible I am ;) x
 
Good man Sneds, and as James, will put you down to make up 4 ball.
So provisionally:

GOLFMMAD
VISCOUNT17
JUST-ONE-UK
SNEDS

Anybody else welcome, just let us know.

So as not to confuse things, this for a game at Hollingbury Park Golf Club, on the Saturday following the day at Cooden Beach.

Hi Sneds
Don't worry about it too much at the moment mate, as Murph says we have got plenty of time to sort it all out before the day. See how you get on over the next 3 months or so and we'll go from there.
A few other things to sort out as well as handicaps and I will post up nearer the time asking for menu preferences for the evening meal that sort of thing.
Have received the booking confirmation back from the club already, they really are on the ball. Buggy is booked for RichardC and longest drive and nearest the pin holes have already been sorted (6th & 16th) for the afternoon round.
Secretary asked which brand of clubs I played. When I told her Ping she said "that's great Mr Smith, we give a 25% discount to the elderly"..so I've managed to get on for £46.00....
;) ;) ;)

So I get a discount as well ??? That's nice :) :)

By the way, I've checked with my son in law and he is a definite, probably..

Plays off about 14. Only played golf with him twice and let him beat me both times - that's before he proposed :D :D
 
He did ask me if he could marry my daughter, 2 days before he asked her. Old fashioned or what?

I asked him if he was sure - like mother, like daughter etc.. he said yes so I said go for it. Don't really think that he appreciated what he was letting himself in for. :D :D
