The annual December southerns links get together?

[masterosouffle]

Sounds good to me, just need to confirm on the date as start a new job next week.

Accommodation wise, you have the lodge at princes, could get a good deal if you wanted to play it on Sunday. The Bell hotel in Sandwich is very nice and only 10mins, budget options are a to be found at Minster, there is a holiday inn express and a premier inn, these would be an easy 20 mins away. Lots of other options locally, shout if you want any info on area, places to stay/eat or local courses etc

Cheers

Having played RCP before, I'm very tempted Chris. Good price you've negotiated there.
A "possible" for me as I could maybe stay at the in-laws the night before, they only live 15 miles away in Herne Bay.
Will let you know mate.

The date of Monday 8th December seems ok by everyone, or the majority anyway. On Monday I will try and get us penciled in and we can firm up on the actual names etc later on. I would suggest we try for somewhere around 9.30 tee off to allow for anyone travelling on the day

Any comments just let me know

Think the 8th Dec is going to be a problem with work for me

After the H4H day I'd definitely be up for joining some other meets, seeing SaintHacker's post though I'm a little unsure as to whether being newly off 25.6 (obviously I hope to keep the momentum going down but unsure if it will) it may be a little out of my reach. What would you say?

I wont be offended at all if it's thought to be out of my league for now. There will always be a next meet.

As I said to Saint, it's a very tough course, in mid winter the long, lush and deep grass has largely gone and often you will find a ball where in mid summer it's a goner. If it's windy it's also hard work, but, a links course like RCP has lovely fairways and greens, rarely freeze up and if the weather is benign it's fun to play. It hosted The Open in 1909 and 1920 so it has a place in history.

It's your choice though

Can I put myself as a definite maybe then? Depending on date mostly. I will be working hard over the next few weeks to secure a further cut so fingers crossed!

Fine by me, we'll be looking for definite commitment soon with deposits but I'm sure numbers will fluctuate up to a few days before

I will be looking for somewhere to stay as near to the course as possible. Cheap, clean and cheerful will do me, oh and near a bar.:thup:

Rich, I'm happy to share a twin if you keep your farting to a minimum. :thup:

I have put holiday in for this so hopefully can be able to play now

8th is a green light this end, can you pencil a plus one for me please.

Sounds like a plan Gordon, but no promises.

Let me know where you're planning on staying and I'll book the same. The Kings Head looks good.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Same here guys - will look to book somewhere for sunday night

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

No problem chaps, I'll have a look around. No point leaving it to Rich, he is the ultimate technophobe

Let's all get somewhere together if we can or at least in the same area. Kings Head does look good Paul.

Just had a quick search, there is a Ramada (4*) in Dover that is coming up at £50 a night for a twin room with single beds or £67 for twin room with double beds. Loads of other places in town as well, few pubs and restaurants for a get together as well. Only 20 mins from the RCP.

I don't want to rain on your parade but last time I was in Dover it was a hole. Full of knocking shops and illegal immigrants.

I'm sure you distinguished gents would be more at home in Canterbury or even deal itself.................on second thoughts maybe not
