[daveyc2k2]

Thanks Tiger. Hope the weather is better than today although played quite well today. Really looking forward to this now.

 

[bobmac]

Looking forward to it.
I hope it's a dry day

 

[Tiger]

Weather is looking ominous

 

[viscount17]

over a week to go, they can rarely get the forecast right for the next day - don't sweat it

 

[SwingSlow]

Probably a stupid question: do we need handicap certs with us?

 

[jammydodger]

Probably a stupid question: do we need handicap certs with us?

They always say you will need one but i've never once been asked to produce one in all my years of golf. After all they want your money dont they

 

[daveyc2k2]

I hope we don't as I don't have an official handicap. Mine is calculated through an online calculator (golfshake.com). I can print a cert of sorts out tho. Should I do this just in case?

 

[CallawayKid]

No, certs aren't required as Tiger will have filled out the form initially. They take this as a handicap check as the organiser will have checked them...

Looking forward to it, only a week to go and as usual, I'll be duty tail gunner! My chance to romp in with a great score I guess...!!!

Hi Guys, Yes apologies Dave no handicap certs required as I sent them through and it's my responsibility if any of the players turn out to be complete choppers who clearly haven't got a handicap errr....I'l just be spectating then

We do have a slight potential tweak on the draw though. Flarkey can get the time off BUT his missus might go into labour. As the dutiful expectant dad he is aiming to play with us.

As a result he has asked to be included, which means we would revert to five three balls. As the draw was randomised I propose adding him onto the front (phew a local to lead the way) this would mean a change as follows:

Draw

1030 Flarkey (14), Tiger (27), Bobmac (-)
1038 SwingSlow (21), sJoe (23), teegirl (13)
1046 Les (13), Potor_36 (15), daveyc2k2 (17)
1054 viscount17 (20), jammydodger (4) , Plonko (16),
1102 CallawayKid (19), pontius69 (5), rob2 (15)

Is everyone happy with this?

 

[daveyc2k2]

No probs with me. Happy whoever I play with and less pressure on me to play well as I will be the highest handicapper in my group.

 

[SwingSlow]

Happy just to play - so no problems with the draw.

 

[sJoe]

Hi

[rob2]

Guys and gal I am getting excited. Not played many golf courses so really excited to plot my way around a new one, especially with the rave reviews Thetford has received. Should be a great craic.

bobmac and flarkey apologies for drawing the short straw of playing with me. Working hard this week to ensure I bring my A game!!!

Fingers and toes crossed for a glorious sunny day
