St Mellion two night break

[Smiffy]

Have enquired on the price of a two night break next May/June, playing the Kernow and the Nicklaus a couple of times each.
Wondered if anybody else might be interested.
Long(ish) jaunt, but worth it.
Tough as old boots (the Nicklaus course is anyway!!).

 

[IanM]

I'd do it again....even if you played it once each, you could nip up to Launceston or Tavistock for an alternative!

 

[Dando]

i'd be up for this mate - it could replace the Old fart as there's not that much interest in it

 

[Smiffy]

Thanks lads. I will update you with any details, pricing etc. as soon as I hear back from them. I have never finished the par 5 twelfth on the Nicklaus course so I have an old score to settle. Unfinished business you might say ???

400 odd miles for me so I'd have to make it a loooong weekend ?

Pay on the day OK Rob?

Joking aside, I'm interested depending on dates/prices

Lol! I'll be asking for a reasonable deposit mate.... Not too much, maybe fifty squids.
???

If the timing fitted and I can confirm that taxis will run that far from Plymouth, I'd be up for this.

Personally, I'd be looking at option 2. The Kernow is okay but the Nicklaus is the one that makes it worth the journey

 

[IanM]

Not sure these old legs could walk round their terrain twice in a day!

Advice... go for June... in case Spring arrives late!! I remember seeing players wearing Bobble Hats at the B&H

Anyway...I'd go, subject to dates. Only two and a half house from here!

 

[Dando]

looks good to me Smiffy

 

[Smiffy]

Not sure these old legs could walk round their terrain twice in a day!

I'd most probably split the golf over three days.
Maybe play the Kernow on day of arrival afternoon one, Nicklaus once on day two, and again on the morning of day three then either head home or to Bodmin Royal Infirmary. ????

 

[IanM]

Sounds like a plan. Or buggies!

 

[Twire]

I'd be interested Rob depending on dates.

I don't recommend buggies around the Nicklaus course.
You have to keep to the cart paths, and because of the terrain, some of them are miles away from the fairways, let alone your ball!! As much as I enjoy buggy play on big courses, St Mellion is the one place they are a hindrance.

I think what we've got to ascertain first is whether people would prefer the midweek option or the weekend? I'm not fussed to be perfectly honest but I'm not the only one interested ???

Also, there is a four day bank holiday to be taken into account early June ???

 

[IanM]

People? Na, organiser gets first dibs.... when do you want it? Stick a date down and see who sends you £50!

I can do whatever (a the moment!) Although, might need to avoid around 16th June.

Personally would prefer midweek, but would go with the flow.

I don’t mind when it is mate
