Welsh members match

[callawayjon]

Any interest in us Welsh forum members starting the ball rolling to arrange a match somewhere, sometime? I'd even accept some Cardiff fans turning up!!!!!

 

[KeefG]

Jon, dont mean to hijack but do you not fancy the inter forum match next May?

Swansea cant be any further of a trip than the boys from the south coast can it?

 

[HTL]

How about an ex Neath boy living in Surrey? Im back a few times a year visiting my parents so could kill two birds with one stone.

What course you got in mind? (Please dont be links)

 

[callawayjon]

Having a think about that one actually Keef! Can't commit just yet, got to sort out hols and H.I.D., know wot I mean! but its possible!

HTL: An ex- Neath boy will always be welcome fella!

Not sure about courses yet. Will depend on where the majority live/can get to I suppose? Parkland for me if poss!

 

[KeefG]

You want putting on the list anyway fella? You can always pull out if you cant make it.

 

[callawayjon]

Too soon yet Keef! Keep reminding me

 

[IanM]

Good idea - I am just south of Chepstow... but I guess Swansea folk say that's in England!

 

[The_Squire]

I could be up for that depending on the dates.

IanM, I'm not far from you here in Rogiet. Where do you play ?

Happy to join in, I can always have 3 guests at my place if anyone's interested in the meantime?

I've been in Shirenewton for 33 months (orig from Surrey)

I've joined Newport, as its near the office and I like the idea of an old members' club after 11 years at a place full of visitors with no Club Atmosphere (Bowood)
always happy to visit Celtic Manor tho' - due a game on the 2010 as I havent played it yet!

 

[The_Squire]

My Mrs works in Shirenewton Primary School.

The 2010 can bite you when you think your going well, I've played it twice and hit 93 ad 94 of the yellows with a 13 h/cap. HTL played it with me a few weeks ago, he started par, par, par and came in over 100

The Roman Road and The Montgomerie are both a good test, let me know if you ever fancy a knock.

John - just noticed you play at Southerndown - my parents live in Ogmore by Sea!

Like HTL, I and am living amongst the enemy in Wiltshire presently and would be up for a Taff match.

 

[callawayjon]

Well, there seems to be some interest so lets start with ideas then! Looks mostly to be south Walians so what about The Vale or Cotrell Park or even Southerndown as we have a man on the inside who could organise tees etc for us maybe???? )
As for when, what about a convenient date for everyone towards the end of June???
Feedback please!

Thought Neath natives were tough enough to handle anything!

You leave HTL alone johng, us Neath boys stick together mind!

4th July?

Southerndown looks "interesting"

4th July no good for Southerndown, course booked for a medal.

Happy to play anywhere locally (20-30 miles), I can play anyday - given enough notice.

If people want Southerndown I can only get 3 geust rates, the rest will be visitor rates. We can combine all costs and average among everyone to help out - though I suspect that for more than a 4 ball other courses will offer better deals.

as for the course being "interesting" it can be. It's not a true links course, but still plenty of tight lies, gorse and close enough to the sea for the wind to cause a challenge. No water, lots of pot bunkers and hard - fast fairways. Great stuff!! )

Is almost Wales close enough?

I can drive a Golf ball into Wales.....if it lands on the back of a lorry and takes the right road at the roundabout.

Good enough for me.

Whisper it quietly but I'm only 1/2 welsh anyway sshhh!

won't tell you what the other 1/2 is, I'm not entirely sure

Hi Guys!
Going to play Dewstow GC this week which could be an ideal venue for our get together as its only about 10 or 15 mins from the severn bridge! Within striking distance for all I thought? July 4th would be fine for me too HTL what about the rest of us?

 

[HTL]

Looks good to me.

 

[IanM]

Southerdown is one on my "need to play list!"

Would really appreciate being signed in!
