Hi folks,

I don't want to detract from Patrick's event but for those who aren't able to travel as far as Nairn next April or for those wanting to take part in 2 regional qualifiers, I'd be happy to arrange a wee meet.

Again, as to not step on any toes, I'd propose to hold this in the middle of March (was thinking Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th).

There's two ways of going:

1. Dundonald links / West Kilbride / similar

Looking at around £50-£70 a pop which includes a round, coffee and roll. I have never played these courses and don't know about their winter restrictions so any advice would be great.

OR

2. Playsport links (East Kilbride)

This is a cheapo option (my home course) and is guaranteed to be on full greens and tees. I'd imagine I would be able to get a roll with a coffee, followed by 18 holes, with a burger/chips/beer afterwards for £20.

The first option may appeal to those interested in playing a different high-tariff course whilst the second would suit everyone's budget, leaving enough in the bank for a trip to Nairn a few weeks later.

The format will be up to D4S and the prices don't include the competition entry fee. If you've any questions about the competition, revert to him.

Who is interested? Any preferred option? Any other suggestions?
 
West Kilbride gets my vote and Willie Ps , buy we're really easy as you know.:whistle:
You might even get a couple of lapsed forum members from that area to come along for a game, or hopefully some new blood, if its the twilight deal you're after. . :lol:

Glasgow gailes (open qualifier) rates are £45/round up to the end of April, £140 for a fourball. Depending on numbers it may be worth enquiring about some discount or a deal for a group that's associated with golf monthly forum.

Wester Gailes quoted £90 per head for Sunday 29th of March :confused: . We are open to all suggestion re venues and dates. As long as we don't upset Patrick.:lol:

Google glasgow gailes and check green fees and offers on their website.

In terms of somewhere to play in Scotland it might not suit everyone but it'll definitely be in good condition and is a good test of golf. Need to be straight off the tee though, as the gorse won't give balls back easily!

I'm most likely interested in this one as well as the Nairn one.

Of course, it will depend on final dates and confirmation of rules regarding playing in more than one qualifier. :)

Western Gailes do a £200 4 ball for all residents of G, KA, PA, ML postcodes.

Dundonald, Glasgow or Western Gailes would get my vote of those mentioned. As good as West Kilbride is, it's not on the same page as these 3.

Worth also considering Barassie.

Its a very good course, tough as old boots if having a bad day off the tee.
 
Sometime in March would be ideal guys as I'm hoping to stage the final in April. Also, if anyone is still in contact with the guys who left the forum, pass on a message that they would be very welcome to play in this as far as I'm concerned :thup:

I'm jealous......I miss the Ayrshire links :(

Hi Val, when I enquired the price quoted was £90. If you can help in any way in getting a cheaper price and better venue ,that would be terrific the more heads the better.:thup:

Happy to help but don't want to overstep the mark, if you and Dave are fine for me to do it I'll do it.

This is much easier for me than Nairn, though I might see if I can get a pass to play in both...

I'll play anywhere that's good. Glasgow and Western Gailes are on my bucket list, so happy with either.

This is true for me too - I'm thinking of making a weekend trip for Nairn, playing somewhere else too , but would try to come west for another meet if it was somewhere good.

I have a Mum with a PA post code and a Greenock accent if that helps !
