Did you try putting a plum in your mouth before you phoned them up?

E mail first, as has been done for all the other trips, although as Stuey will attest to, I can do a fine queens English when I try to (although sometimes throw to many "H"'s in.

Judging on past applications they'll drop us an email later in November. Watch this space :smirk:

Thanks Mark.... Application is in but don't know how many tickets I'll be entitle to? or when the ballot is made... Ah, seen it 4th Nov.... how'd we know it were a winner?

Mate, 7 hours sitting in the sun drinking beer & being right royally fed while a bunch of chaps in white clothing chase a red leather ball around probably isn't for you Stu :cheers: Best stick to Champagne & canapés watching thoroughbreds being whipped down the back straight :mmm:

Oi I'm well up with test match cricket, I couldnt take duffers or Davie Mac la to a test match now could I

The course we are hoping to announce is still awaiting answers from previous bookings to see if they can move them ok, and we should have a confirmation early this week.

If they cant accommodate us, we will have to try elsewhere, as no other "ideal" options are available,despite 10-15 being approached.Maybe they are a different breed down south, as the Scottish clubs on previous trips have been a pleasure to deal with, the ones we have approached, well....

No matter, the previous trippers have had enough time to confirm their spaces, so we'll start to go through the other names, after that.

If Sunningdale do give us the extra 12-16 spaces required, you'll all be fine. :thup:

If everyone prepares to have £100 to send by the end of this month, and we'll go from there.We only get the places at Sunningdale that we pay for now, so if you dont pay within the 2 weeks, you wont have a space.

Pete... you're doing a great job mate. Me dad said I'd find it 'strange' when I headed South some 50 years ago & that just seems to increase the further you go. You may find it easier sorting something through the EU. Good luck with the negotiations

Will this be for just 1 ticket?
May also need preparing for the cost shock.... How much is likely? .... Sorry...... Oooow much???

You want to come down in 'Uncle Dave's Bus'? :whoo: mind you I may go for some extra golf or a days cricket, so may not be straight forward

Not sure what will happen with travel. We can sort out nearer the time. There's a strong possibility that I will be in London already.

Re: Sunningdale + another top course Thursday July 27th/Friday 28th July 2017

Thought it was agreed you lot had been banned to give others a chance!

They tried but we were having none of it. Can't miss out on this!

They are all off scratch for Sunningdale along with Region 3's mates

We purposefully held ourselves back last year for everyone else's benefit. I am sure that this can be arrange again.

Re: Sunningdale + another top course Thursday July 27th/Friday 28th July 2017

Is right josh,do you and the lads fancy a day out at Ascot races on the Saturday?

Ai we could be interested in that. I will keep my eyes on the developments.

Re: Sunningdale + another top course Thursday July 27th/Friday 28th July 2017

Lambs to the slaughter......

Par 68, less than 6000 yards, pretty beyond belief, Veeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyy private (website has been under construction for years, a bit like Gaudi's cathedral), "Sui generis" in the words of the great golf writer Bernard Darwin, and who doesn't love a bit of Arthur Conan Doyle thrown into a heady mix (he used to be a member).

Akin to Loch Lomond and Swinley in terms of availability for very discerning golfers, or for respected societies only. £150 please for green fees only....normally. But who needs to talk about money, when in the presence of beauty, and especially not in polite society. I'm sure that we will be dusting down our old regimental ties, our MCC ribboned Panamas and our favourite Brook's brothers shirts. I think I'll also wear my beagling hat. Cigar, Richart? Be careful lighting it around that hair though mate, could have the whole county alight.

So, where are we heading then? Well its a top 100 course .....in England, although who knows with GM's lofty, well researched top 100 list coming up again soon. Maybe its gone even higher, pop-pickers. Its only 8 miles away from Stunningdale(sic), so the international bachelor's playground that is Woking is on the doorstep of both, for those who want to burn the candle at both ends.

Well chaps and chapesses, we have this for the un-princely sum of £90 and a bacon roll and I'm sure we'll all be having camomile tea with our little fingers raised, from bone china cups all thrown in.

Oh aye, a 3 course lunch afterwards as well is included for your taste bud's delight.

You can even have another 9 or 18, as all included, my dear friends - ok, after playing 36 the day before, doubt you will want to, but the option is there, if required. :thup:

Enjoy....... http://www.top100golfcourses.co.uk/golf-course/new-zealand

So all-in-all the final price for 2 rounds at Sunningdale and the same at New Zealand is £310, including food before and after at NZGC and food before, in the middle and afterwards at Sunningdale. These courses would normally charge in the region of £685 for the packages we have, so get it while you can.

We are waiting for the secretary to return at Sunningdale to advise if we can have the extra 12 spaces required, so as soon as she does we'll confirm, and if so, we'll be able to fit the current 72 players in. Be prepared to send the £100 deposit (which is the deposit for both courses) within the next 2 weeks.

We'll ask for another £125 in late February and a final balance of £100 in May, which will include an optional £15 entry fee into the comps also, so all will be paid 2-3 months before we go.

Please be patient with Birchy and dont all be asking if he has got your payment ok. He'll be updating the lists once every week or so, so please wait until then, when he will put it against your name.

This trip wouldn't have been anywhere near as attractive if our favourite son of the forum, and steptoe look-a-like, Glyn hadn't sorted the main trip for us, so thanks to him for being able to sort out the Sunningdale option.:cheers:

Re: Sunningdale + another top course Thursday July 27th/Friday 28th July 2017

Have just read the reviews & can see that Glyn will fit in well here....... was that the plan?? Great work anyway... sounds delightful :whoo:

Looks great, well done boys. 👍

Must say, I've never heard of it or ever heard anyone ever mention it ever before 🤔

Re: Sunningdale + another top course Thursday July 27th/Friday 28th July 2017

I play both courses (sunningdale & New zealand) every year in club matches.

Both very nice and probably my two favourite courses of the ones we play.

New Zealand is like going back in time and from the moment you get there you can feel the history.

Have a chat and see if you can play off the whites as it is a little short off the yellows.

And make sure you know the gate code before you leave or you wont get outoo:
