Sunningdale... (Thursday 29th March 2012)

Re: Sunningdale...

I could be up for this, so for the moment I'm in, if there's room. Always wanted to play Sunningdale, see what the fuss is all about.

I'll take your place Smiffy, as you probably won't hit your sales target anyway.
 
Re: Sunningdale...

I'm definitely, definitely in, Smiffy!

I've booked it off work even though they haven't released next year's holiday sheet! :D

Great work, mate!
 
Re: Sunningdale...

OK, latest situation.
Have heard back from David at Sunningdale, he has allocated me four teeing off times in total.
A food package is not available as they don't offer anything unless the party is a minimum of 24 in number, but we can order anything we want from the bar, and they also have a "very famous" halfway house.
The £55.00 deposit won't be due for some while yet, maybe as late as Oct/Nov so don't panic!
With the latest requests I have received to play, the start sheet is now looking like this....

RESERVES
REGION3

So we have the 16 required, but a reserve list will be kept just in case anyone has a change of heart.
As I say, the deposit is not required for a while yet, and the £100.00 balance will not be due until the end of February so there is plenty of time to save up!
For those that haven't contact me yet with FULL NAME AND CURRENT HANDICAP could you please do so.
For those that have, thanks very much

Re: Sunningdale...

PS.
Afternoon tee times run from 1.48 so we should have

1.48
1.56
2.04
and
2.12

I will try to mix it up a little in the afternoon so that we get to play with different people?
Maybe if we have a 2 round Stableford comp we could go out in "leaderboard order" for the afternoon round?
Just a thought.
 
Re: Sunningdale...

Stableford is fine with me, anybody travelling from the Manchester area or would like a lift on the way down just pm me, by the way i will be travelling down the day before going to book a b&b nearby.

Blooming hell, this is becoming a monster!
Vig contacted me yesterday to ask if I could book another tee time as he has some friends from his home golf club that would like to come along too.
So I have contacted David Bowles at Sunningdale to request 2 more tee times, making 6 in total, allowing us to accommodate 24 players.
So the attendees list is now looking like this....

RESERVE
REGION 3

Region 3 still wishes to stay on the "reserve list" as he cannot confirm his attendance yet, so that means I still have two spaces available for definite players.

Remember, I will be collecting the "odd" £55.00 of the green fee as a deposit, (will require this by the end of October) and the balance of £100.00 must be at the club 30 days prior to the meet.

I have received the official booking sheet from Sunningdale, we will be playing the New Course in the morning and the Old Course in the afternoon.
All play will be from the YELLOW tees, New Course is par 70, 6083 yds and the Old Course is 6063 yards, again to a par of 70. Par is 74 for the ladies on both courses, so I assume that there are going to be quite a few long par 4's!

Maximum handicap is 18, and handicap certificates must be produced when signing in

I don't intend to make this a two day trip by the way Stuart, this started out as a gentle fourball!!
;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
 
Re: Sunningdale...

No offence meant, but this sort of thing does get on my bits. £150 plus, and they want us to go off the yellows at 6k yards?

I'm still in, but they have plummeted in my opinion to not much better than lydd.

Appreciate what you are saying Murph and agree with you. But bear in mind it's still only going to be March, chances are the fairways are going to be softer than they are in the Summer so it's not like you'll be hitting wedges in to every hole.
But it's one of the things I always complain about...courses advertising their full yardages but then forcing you to play off the forward tees.
 
Re: Sunningdale...

Just to let the guys who may be going down the day before smiffy and I are booked in the travelodge at Bracknell central only cost £17.90 each inc breakfast so if some of you are comming down the day before may be meet up and go for a curry on wednesday night

Stuart C
more then welcome to travel down with me
 
Re: Sunningdale...

Rob - will we not qualify for the society rate and deal with 24?
Click to expand...

David Bowles contacted me via email this morning to confirm the additional tee slots and mentioned the same thing. Problem is, if we go onto the "society rate" it pushes the price up a bit and some people may not want to eat.
I'm leaving as it is until I get further details regarding price etc. and will then throw it open for discussion.
 
Re: Sunningdale...

Nice one for sorting me a spec smiffy you're a gent.
