Thurs 28th Sept 2017, Swinley Forest

[TXL]

Some of you attended the society day a friend of mine runs at Swinley Forest this year, Thurs 28th Sept 2017 is the date of the event next year .

Those of you that are interested in attending, reserve the date in your diaries now. I will post more details and a request for names next year when I know more.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Count me in Anthony :whoo:

 

[huds1475]

Count me in Anthony :whoo:

Haha.

I wanted to put my name down for his too but thought it a bit early.

 

[TXL]

Count me in Anthony :whoo:

Have I give Ian enough warning this time?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

You can try
But he is a notorious tightwad

Looks interesting, I'm down to play The Berkshire on the 29th…...

I now have the full details for the day which are as follows:

"Following last years very successful visit to Swinley Forest GC, we have been lucky enough to have this years golf day confirmed for Thursday, September 28th.
Due to the Queens 90th birthday celebrations, all Crown related activities have been pushed back one week, hence the sightly later date.
The one downside is that the cost has now increased to £160.00 for the day.
Format will as always be;

Bacon Roll, Tea / Coffee from 07.30am

18 holes of golf for our rubbish recycled trophy

The brilliant Swinley lunch

You then have the choice of playing as many holes as you like again in the afternoon, this can be be a full 18 or one of the loops I.e. 1,2,3,4,16,17,18 or 10,11,12,13,14, the choice is yours, or follow the example of many of the others and just sit on the terrace and enjoy the view and hospitality.
Afternoon tea is served on the terrace from approx. 4pm and is included in the cost of the day.

Please let me know if you would like to be included this year, I am allowed a maximum of 60 players on the day

In the unlikely case that a Swinley member may wish to play in the afternoon, the club have asked us to advise as to how many players will be playing additional holes."

I believe also that Neil, the organiser, has asked Adger Brown, a very good comedian to say a few words at the prize giving. See Adger's web page here

Neil has about 30 names signed up so far. I have the following names which I will add to Neil's list:

TXL

Don't know if it will make a difference, but, The Queen was 90 last year, she's 91 this year.

Maybe they are just a bit slow in sorting the party

 

[paulw4701]

I will probably see you out on the course as we normally have a few holes before our committee meeting

 

[USER1999]

Yep, i have put this in my diary. I really enjoyed it last year, despite playing like a plank.

 

[Deleted member 21258]

TXL, interested in this, how much of a definite do you need now ? (just need to think about work commitments I have and H4H 2 weeks before and would be 36 holes for sure, due to the how far I am travelling)

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

@TXL - I am guessing that this is the day that a mate of mine (Hartley Wintney member) has mentioned to me. I was going to speak to him about it on Saturday. I'll let you know if not.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Is there room for me?

 

[TXL]

I have the following names which I will add to Neil's list:

TXL
PhilTheFragger
huds1475
murphthemog
DarrenWilliams - maybe. Really depends on how fast it fills up. Obviously the sooner we know if you can make it the better.
SwingsitlikeHogan - maybe
HomerJSimpson

 

[mikejohnchapman]

I would love to play if slots are available.

 

[anotherdouble]

Yes please Anthony. This would cap a golden year of golf

Please add your name to this list if you wish to play, would also help if you can indicate whether you will want to play more than 18 holes.

 

[Fish]

Yes please Anthony 👍

Not sure if I'd do more than 18, that would depend on my tee time. Ideally a later tee time means I can travel on the morning, do 18 and then there's no hanging around to enjoy the afternoon tea at 4pm. I'd then stop over for a round somewhere else Friday morning before travelling back.

An early tee means travelling the night before, Possibly doing more than 18 to fill the time gap before tea and then driving back.
