The "definitive" Old Farts v Whippersnappers thread.......

[Smiffy]

Again, don't worry if you think we are going to be "over subscribed".....
If I get more deposits than the 24 booked places, I will look at increasing numbers, but will only do this if I can get multiples of 8 (so that we keep the numbers in the teams even).
Therefore, 32 is the next "magic" number.....

Once we get confirmed numbers we can work out the "average" age of all players to determine who are the old farts and who are the whippersnappers.
Idea is to play 4bb matchplay on the Sunday afternoon, with singles matchplay on the Monday morning.

With the travelling distance involved, (it's a long way for me to go for just one night away), I am looking at the possibility of staying the Monday night too and maybe getting another game on the Monday afternoon/evening and the Tuesday morning before driving home. Jury is out on that one at the moment, a lot depends on the costs involved.

I would definitely be interested in staying another night, especially if we could play the "other" course available. Assuming cost is ok.

Thanks Grumpyjock.

Are the bank details the same as before? When we were doing Scotland?

Single for me please Rob... no.. I'm not fussy, just considerate for those who may have had to share with me :smirk:

 

[grumpyjock]

Sent off deposit, played here over the last 6 years and every domination is different day by day.
Could see WDIGo for a game at Scunthorpe another good course.

 

[ScienceBoy]

How much is this without the room? I would prefer to stay local as all my family is in the area.

If I can do this I will put my deposit down now.

+1 please :thup: on the same criteria.

Sorry, by other course I meant Forest & Beeches. so that we end up playing each 9 twice over the 3 days

cheers

Deposit paid. Potential clash with next year's invitation day but hopefully it's moving. If there's a single left Smiffy I'll take it, avoid inflicting the snoring on anybody else. Thanks for organising. :thup:

Sorry.
At the moment the team places will go to people who are staying at the hotel mate.
If we get any that can't make it at the last minute I can draft you in on that basis.
Just all gets a bit confusing when you have some not staying.

Ah! Understood Ian.
I will leave it a while (don't want to confuse things) but will find out the additional cost of a further nights stay.
I don't think it's going to be as cheap though as we are on a special deal they call the "Sunday Driver".
Will keep you posted.

Totally makes sense, I'm a last choice anyway but I just can't go up that way without seeing my family.

If you need me you know where to find me

 

[Jimbop90]

I'm up for this, not fussed about a single room. Can you PM me details for deposit?

I will do it tonight as at work at the moment.

[PuttPuttSteve]

Hi Rob, Sounds like a cracking trip. I'd love to come, so if you can pm me bank details I'll pay a deposit just in case you get the extra 8. Not fussed about a single room provided I can share with a fellow non-snorer!
