St. Mellion... Gauging Interest.

[Region3]

After playing there last year and loving it, I'm desperate to go back and play there again, so I was wondering how much interest there'd be on here if I organised a meet there?

Turn up, play golf, stay overnight, play golf, bugger off.

I won't harp on about it too much because I'll feel stupid when someone says "I played it, didn't think it was that great", but it's easily my favourite course that I've played which admittedly isn't many, but includes Beau Desert and Bearwood Lakes.

Since we have Beau in May and Blackmoor in June, I was thinking late-ish Summer, July or August.

So dependant on price and date being ok, who'd be up for it?

 

[Swinger]

If the price and date fitter I'd be interested.

I like the course so would like an excuse to play it again.

 

[Smiffy]

Super course Gary. I'd love to go but with Woodhall Spa, Blackmoor, Beau, Cooden and Scotland lined up in September my Missus would slice my jacobs off if I put my name down for anything else.
Hope you get some interest mate.

300 miles each way.
Too far for me

 

[Smiffy]

300 miles each way.
Too far for me

251.3 each way for me too

 

[Twire]

I'd be up for it, depending on price and dates.

 

[Redwood]

Gary, I'd be up for this.

Should be a nice time for me after the hectic months of second child arriving!!

Unfortunately similar excuse to Smiffy - too many other meets already penicilled in and also getting on for my summer hols with the family. Plus a long slog for me too. Hopefully you'll get a fair bit of interest from our forumer friends in the south west though.

Would love to play there sometime, but not next summer, due to other Meets and trip to St Andrews. Hope you get some interest.

 

[moonraker]

It's about an hours drive for me, so maybe, assuming the let non-handicap holders on (I doubt I'll have sorted out membership anywhere by then...).

That's assuming I still have a job by then as well, my contract runs out at the end of June...

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Having to be careful with money with the job axe hanging over my department at present so I'll say no. A shame because I like the Nicklaus and what use to be called the Old (think its been renamed now) as well

Couple of reservations but it's one of my 'courses I want to play'. If I can I will - usual proviso when & how much - 300 miles for me too, so I'd definitely be stopping at least one, maybe two nights more.

I'd be happier with even later, September maybe. I used to live in Cornwall and it was swamped with tourists in July/August and prices went up accordingly.

Don't know if Neil remembers but when we cornered Mike at Castle Stuart there was some idea of a GM West Country meet - don't know if that's still a runner.

 

[Region3]

The when and how much is going to be important to everyone I imagine, me included.

I was just hoping to get a rough idea of possible numbers because they do loads of different packages and I wanted to narrow it down a bit more so they don't send me the electronic equivalent of a tree.

I'm sure they do 1, 2, or 3 night breaks, with either B&B, or B&B + evening meal.

You can also choose which course(s) you play. A supplement applies if you change a Kernow round to the Nicklaus, but it's only something like a tenner.

 

[Redwood]

For guys travelling a bit further a field and may want to stick around for a day or two, as Smithy will testify, there are some cracking courses in the area.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Having spoken to HID she might be up for going down for a long weekend and letting me off the leash on a Thursday and Friday to play as long as I meet up for dinner each evening and spend the rest of the time playing dutiful husband. I might need to think of a scheme to squirrel sufficient funds away but it could be a goer.

They do Spa Breaks as well as Golf breaks if that helps?

 

[feary]

I would be up for it if i'm not at college. Depends when

She's not really a spa person but give her an antique fair or a seaside town to wander around and I'd be good for 27 holes, food and some beers. Mentioned it again tonight and the early signs are good.
