Understand that Premier Inn are planning on opening a hotel in Gainsborough in the near future.
Will keep an eye on the situation and book the rabble in there if possible.
Got to be better than the place you stayed at this time.

A premier inn would be perfect. Was just reading that it will have 51 rooms, a restaurant and a bar. Means that Team Hotel can get a pint at 2145 on a Monday night :thup:
 
It wasn't a case of it bring that bad, my room was clean , bed comfortable just no beer available when we got back. Plus no where else in the village to drink after 21.30

What a great 3 days, our own Golfbeaks.com aka Smiffy certainly knows how to put a trip together. If he would only sort out the A1, Sandmagnet and I would have not wasted 2++ hours being routed round the houses on the way home!

I always enjoy meeting up with the "old faces" who I see and play with down here but I was lucky enough to have rounds with Midnight, Rosecott, Sandmagnet, Dahn and my own adopted little (?) boy Virtuocity and enjoyed each round, in fact, the only person I haven't played with is Wherediditgo and I hope to rectify that next year

The Ping site at Gainsborough is awesome and has 2 very different, but lovely, courses. The hospitality was spot on and the food and value fantastic.

All in all a great 3 days!

Cheers Smiffy!!

I did find a reasonable swing this break and playing decent golf was the icing on the cake and the "Scum" pipping the Ping boys only on the last round was the " hundreds and thousands" on top of the icing on the cake and comes with a full 12 months bragging right!! :whoo:
 
Rumours are that Team Ping have been offered jobs with a local drinks company after showing how well they can bottle things when the pressure is on....

Does anyone from the hotel remember the smug, toothy grins on evenings one and two when Smiffy, smiling like he had a coat hanger in his mouth, announced the team scores ?? They didn't realise that we were just toying with them like a cat does with a mouse!! :lol:
 
Those dates are clear and good for me so should anyone not be able to attend next year or commit in time, I'll put my name forward for first reserve now please :thup:

Pretty sure you're in with a good chance as I'm sure Smiffy has been taking note of some of the remarks from (temporary) members of the scum team.
 
We are (mostly) British and should have a proper and dignified attitude to winning and losing - the lucky b******s. Oops, shouldn't have said that.

We don't need to have a dignified attitude to losing as, well, mmmmmmm, we didn't lose! We were certainly dignified in winning, well we were after a fair few fist pumps!

I think that was being very restrained, I'd have ran around the green naked :eek:

I've had some good and bad news from Gainsborough.
The good news is that they have booked us in for the same package on Sunday 7th August next year.
2 rounds on the Park, 2 rounds on the Lakes.
The bad news?????
It's gone up in price.
I knew it would happen.
They couldn't keep the price at £150.00 for the 5th year on the trot.
It's gone up a whole £10.00
:D
So that's £160.00 for the guys staying in the apartments.
Price for the package for the "scum" remains the same though.
£125.00 for the 4 rounds of golf and the evening meals.
Form an orderly queue
:D
