Not going to happen unfortunately.
Playing from the yellow tees is in their terms and conditions.
Some independent reviews of the courses...(hope the link works). They sound a bit special

Re: Sunningdale...
Playing off the whites would be good, however, you will still really enjoy it off the yellows. It will still test your golfing abilities
IIRC, the whites were not even out the last couple of times I have played there.

Don't you fancy joining us Anthony????
I thought this venue would be right up your street.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I've always admired and respected everything you've done in organising all these events, but is it fair where numbers are so limited (unless we go to society rates and pay more) to allow so many guests when there may be other forum members still undecided. Not trying to be overly controversial but just an observation

Re: Sunningdale...
No problem Homer.
Dave (Vig) contacted me to let me know that he had 3 guys he played regularly with who would like to come along. He asked if it would be possible for me to book one extra tee time for them, which I did. I didn't see that as a problem.
He then asked if there were any more spaces available, and I booked yet another tee time to make up the "final" group with Eejit and StuartC.
It was then that David Bowles contacted me to tell me about the "society" status as our numbers had grown to 24 and advised me about the extra costs involved with providing food. If it was only a fiver, or a tenner more then I think everybody would have agreed to go for it. But it's not. It's quite a bit extra, and I for one don't want to have to pay it.
David is contacting me today or tomorrow to confirm the "society" status of our group. I do not want to be classed as a society and be forced to take a food package that will increase the costs of an already expensive day. I just want this to be looked on as a large booking for 36 holes and people to have the choice whether they eat or not. If it turns out that we have no choice, I will put it out to the forum (as I said in an earlier post). One option would be to reduce the total number back down to 20 to avoid this. I am sure Vig will understand. Some of his mates could go on the reserve list if they wanted to.
But let's not worry about it too much until I hear from David.

Re: Sunningdale...
Thanks Smiffy. As I said wasn't looking to be difficult but given the great deal you had negotitated thought it might be wise to give forummers first dibs. Like you say though no point worrying until the guy comes back. Thanks for the answer

Re: Sunningdale...
Can I please request to switch to the same tee time as swinger.
I know it's March but with his pasty complexion I want to see the looks he gets as he wanders round the course with his cowboy hat, sunshade and suncream on
I know it's ages away and it's going to cost an arm and a leg, but I'm excited already.

Re: Sunningdale...
Duly noted. See below......I've put you as "Ist reserve" as Gary (Region 3) is only a tentative reserve at the moment ok???
The tee times above aren't set in stone. Just keeping a track on who's coming and in which order they said they were coming.
Plenty of time to sort it all out.

Re: Sunningdale...
i feel highly insulted that Aztecs doesnt want to play with me , Homer and Rob
i feel he should be blackballed to the end of the reserve list if our company and play is not good enough

Re: Sunningdale...
Haha!!
I'd be more than happy with this arrangement so long as you don't mind being taken to school by a cigarette smoking, cowboy hat wearin, suncream sportin, pasty son of a gun!
If the sun is out the chances are the brolly will be too!
Is your Handicap Kosher yet??

Hang on! I never said your's and rob's company wasn't worthy sev, on the contrary, its quite the opposite. Homer, however is a different story....
Steve, don't worry, there's plenty of time.

Re: Sunningdale...
Smiffy, haven't been following this thread for a while and didn't realise this had now grown to a bigger event.
As it's just down the road from me and I've never played either course could you stick me on the reserve list?
Cheers

Re: Sunningdale...
Translation = Smiffy, when I thought it was just you going I was not at all interested. The thought of spending 4 hours in your company made me feel sick. Now there are some decent people attending the thought of being in your proximity is vaguely bearable.
Hope that helps
