Sunningdale... (Thursday 29th March 2012)

Re: Sunningdale...

Right.
Going through the list of people who initially said "Yes" and others that have subsequently said they want to come, I have arrived at the following list.

Definites for the 1st two fourballs.

SMIFFY
RICKG
PN WOKINGHAM
RICHARDC

ROB2
HOMER
SEV112
AZTECS27

The following three players put their names down slightly later, but to quote Davids exact words from Sunningdale, "the more the merrier" so it's not a problem at all.
I will email him again asking for a 3rd tee slot to be allocated to accomodate twelve of us. We still need one more player to make up the third fourball lads.

HERONSGHYLL

Re: Sunningdale...

Are those the defined 4 balls or will be be drawing cards on the day? I don't think I can take another round of Homer's pre-shot routine? :D

This could turn out to be the most expensive forum meet ever!

Well, that's how people said "Aye" so it's only fair to keep the fourballs as they are I guess. We could mix it up a bit for the afternoon round so that we get to play with different people?

I'd be happy with that, means we all get to meet/verbally abuse more people and keeps things fresh, but I'm happy to go with the flow of how you're organising it mate and what other people have preference with.
 
Re: Sunningdale...

If there is one spot going I'd be up for it. As Aztecs said it's not often you get the chance to play Sunningdale.

If I can get 3 more players to make up 16 in total I will book another tee time.
If I can't then you'll be first reserve, is that ok?

Re: Sunningdale...

Cheers Smiffy, This has got the chance of snowballing. Will they block book the course for the day ?

80 forum members, all dressed the same in their pristine, Peruvian centenary get up.
 
Re: Sunningdale...

Aztec,

Better get to work on that handicap mate (either that or buy a bottle of Tippex :))

Maybe you could write a blog about your progress....... :D

:D

If I'm not below 18 by next march I'm giving up!

A blog sounds like an innovative idea though! I could take it one step further and document my progress to scratch. Pretty sure that's not been done before. :D
 
Re: Sunningdale...

Just to keep you updated.....

I have emailed David Bowles at Sunningdale to request a further two tee times to follow on from the original slots booked. This will allow up to 16 players to attend. I will not be exceeding this number but will start a reserve list "just in case".
I have also enquired about food packages as our numbers have now risen to what I would describe as a "society", and I will keep you posted on this. But if the majority are quite happy to just turn up and play the golf that will be fine.
If we get no increase in numbers we can play as 3x3's and 1x4.
The cost of the day (as it stands) will be £155.00.
At sometime in the future (won't be for a while yet) I will ask for an initial deposit of £55.00 from everybody, the £100.00 balance will become payable one month prior to playing (Sunningdales rules not mine).
I will need everybodys FULL NAMES AND CURRENT HANDICAPS so if you could let me know them then either post on here or PM me please?
Hope the above is all ok, and what it means is we still have three places available if you want to come along.
Rob

PS. Could a moderator possibly move this to the "Arrange a game" section please?

Done :)

Rob, regarding full names and h'caps, are you fine to stick me down at 18 for now and assuming we can produce h'cap certs on the day to confirm actual handicaps at the time of playing?

I worked out last night that we only have to save about £4 per week to make the £155 green fee. Easy! :)

Not a problem Geezer.
I'll put you down for 18, if it's still 19 on the day we'll just say you've had a few bad qualifiers.
I don't think they will bother too much as there are possibly 16 of us going and they'll be raking in nearly £2,500.00 in green fees, plus what we spend in the bar or at lunchtime.
If you were playing as a single I could see them getting funny about it.
Trust me
;) ;) ;)

Cheers mate.

Not overly concerned. Short game practice begins once I've returned from sunning myself in Spain next week, should get me a couple of shots cut between now and march!
 
Re: Sunningdale...

PM sent. That's fine re the deposit & balance , just let me know when you want it.

I know that you are fond of a cheque. I'll have to dust off my chequebook,I've not use it for about 5 years.
