Woodhall Spa 23rd August Friday

[richart]

Anyone fancy a game at Woodhall Spa on Friday 23rd August, tee off 2.20 on the fabulous Hotchkin course?

We bought a round for four at the H4H day last year, but unfortunately have had two drop outs. The cost of a round on the Hotchkin in summer is normally £73, but just £45 will secure a round.

So looking for two players on a first come first served basis.

Hi Rich, I'd be well up for this please. I did some greenkeeper training there a few years ago so know where all the bunkers are as I used to rake them.

 

[richart]

Yes please Richard :thup:

Good man Robin you are in. Will be good to see the H4H's defending champions form at first hand. I can see a few charity side bets on the cards !!

You are definitely in with your local knowledge! I am aiming to get to the Club for about 1 ish, (four hour drive so can't be too accurate), for a bite to eat and a beer.

Played both the Hotchkin and the Bracken two weeks ago - both were in fantastic condition. Now that they've also had some rain on them they should be even better; enjoy.

Stayed in the newly refurbished 'The Inn' which was very, very nice and well worth a visit for a drink or a bite to eat. If you're staying over I can also recommend it, particularly the 617 bar which we had virtually to ourselves watching Sky Sports. I don't recommend consuming all 6 cocktails on the menu though, particularly after 8 pints of lager! If they've now got 'The Bomber' on the menu (the cocktail Blundell and I created!) please let me know, particularly what is actually in it as we have no idea!!!

Sounds good, do you want me to send the money or just give it to you on the day?

On the day will be fine.

I'll do the same, about 1-ish, light lunch and a swill to get the 2hr journey out of the system.

I'll have to spray a couple about to keep my odds high for West Hill although I might draw you in a team at Cooden yet, unless the playing groups are rigged

Ok great, see you there about 1ish then.

Guys if you want to get here any earlier, I will meet you and take you round the short par 3 course, Its in good nick at the minute and its a good laugh before you go out on the Hotchkin. Are any off you staying over if you are wanting a game on the bracken I can arrange that for you playing with me for £20 each.

The only 'ingredient' I can remember is Jameson's so seeing as that goes nicely with Guinness, you could be right!!

Very kind offer L Q but speaking for myself and my mate, we will have a long drive in the morning, and can't see us getting there much before 1.00 pm. We are going with the wives and they have made plans for us on the Saturday. Think it might be trip to Skeggy.


You are very welcome to join us for lunch on the Friday. Also any recommendations for places to see/go would be appreciated. Must admit apart from Lincoln there does not seem to be much around Woodhall.

Where are you staying for the night? Also there is a fair bit around but just depends on your interests. Skegvegas is OK but not my cup of tea.

Staying in Woodhall. Have been to Lincoln before, so looking for somewhere scenic, historic, decent pub etc. Skeggy would be more to re-live our youth !!!!

So your going to Butlins in a caravan, always guaranteed to be wet & windy

BBMF at Coningsby is supposed to be quite good. The tours last about an hour or two. Tattershall Castle is next door. Woodhall has some nice places to eat. Village limits has good reviews from everyone I know. Horncastle is busy for Antique shops.

 

[Wildrover]

BBMF - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in case you were wondering ;-)

 

[Wildrover]

Sorry guys, there's a good chance I won't be able to make it and I don't want to drop out the day before so I'll withdraw now please. I'm sure you won't have a problem drafting someone else in Rich.
