[Tin Pot]

I'm definitely interested, but do you need a hard and fast commitment? (You know what I'm like)

[3puttwizard]

i need a "yes I'll be there" unless you get run over etc etc

[Gogs Guy]

I hope to be available but its a long time in the future to be sure.

[3puttwizard]

Ok putting you lot down if I get 20 probables thats fine...

Getting on here is like nailing blamanche to the ceiling so we dont want to lose this spot.

[AndrewPI]

Put me down for this one.

[Stu-Pid]

I'll definitely be there unless:

1. My girlfriend says that I can't play
2. Work says that I can't play
3. Global warming has destroyed the Earth
4. You put me in the same group as You and TP (I hate being a gooseberry)

So I'd say I was a probable. :yes:

Seriously though, I wouldn't have thought getting 20 would be even slightly difficult.

[Chip_Unsure]

don't see why not.

[stanster30]

Sorry can't commit this far out, best to let you know this.

[Vince Baby]

Should be OK for me.

I'm surprised there hasn't comment on 36 holes in 1 day though:confused:

[Stu-Pid]

I'm surprised there hasn't comment on 36 holes in 1 day though:confused:

I know that we can't do a scramble so how about playing alternate shots in the afternoon? Would definitely allow 18 to be finished and would be less tiring for the more elderly among us. Would also be evil.... :yes:

Shhhh, theres a sweepstake running as to when Tin Pot will notice this ;)

[Tin Pot]

There's 36 holes?! :confused: :eek:


About feckin' time! For genuinely mature, no disrespect, but the rest of you? You're all a bunch of geriatric twenty/thirty-somethings!


Is there any reason strokeplay is never on the menu?

Says the thirty-something with the receding hairline.........

[Lowho]

Robin just put me down for all the events :yes:

[Tin Pot]

Maybe you should stop trying to use your haircut to carry your clubs...? :confused:

I'll play 36 holes and laugh in the face of fatigue.




...I may only carry a half set though :mask:

[Tin Pot]

Barring a proper reason for not showing, I'll be there.

[3puttwizard]

Alternate shots could be counted as a scramble.

Its not a hilly course FFS...

already sorted out format....

Its flatter than ours....stop being a wimp.....alternatively buy a powakaddy before next September...

[stanster30]

Maybe ?
Its two weeks before I'm meant to get married.
Lets hope she doesn't see this thread !

Cos with wide ranging 'caps it rules out most of the field!

I don't want to analyse the whole handicapping system again, but are you saying Stableford is fairer than Strokeplay in this case?

[Fieldsy]

I don't want to analyse the whole handicapping system again, but are you saying Stableford is fairer than Strokeplay in this case?

TP.....a lot of places explicitly say that societies CANNOT play medal, must be stableford. For speed of play I assume where hanicaps of the players are unknown.

Oh really? Fair enough.

[Foxholer]

Yep,

Handicap is Stableford anyway (the Stableford Adjustment)

'Scratch' means only the low guys are really in it (what my reply was actually talking about).

'Strokeplay Gross minus Handicap' means that High cappers 'suffer' from the 1 or 2 blowouts they tend to have.

And any 'banditry' from the 'improvers' in the group (Chris, Ian for example) is probably countered by not having blowouts - just nett Doubles.

PM to discuss further. Don't want to threadjack - and too lazy to start another one.

Ross

[3puttwizard]

People.....

Stableford is the best on these type of courses. When I played Hankley with work it was a case of if+when you drive into the heather, reload on the tee with a provisional then look for your ball. If you find it then happy days if not carry on with the provisional.

If you cant score pick up. Golfers with all abilities were in the heather and playing out the hole for a 9 is a waste of time and slows everyone down.

[Foxholer]

This course is on my 'must play' list, so would be keen.

But too far out to commit!

Is deposit required?

I'm sure there'd be no problem getting 20 to play there.

No money needed till spring/summer next year then you can drip feed it to me.
Just gauging interest as its more expensive than the other events...:cool:

[Shankboy]

Ill be in init!!!

[3puttwizard]

To reclaim the table... :rolleyesw:

[Fieldsy]

I'll make this simple for you to understand guys. Rob has to commit to booking this event this week. That means he'll be in for a minimum of 20x£97. He also has to pay a deposit of a couple of hundred quid this week out of his own funds - this he'll be recouping next year when the main thread kicks in. What he's trying to do is make sure there is sufficient commitment from the forum to ensure he's not going to be out of pocket come next Autumn!

Hope thats clearer.......

[Shankboy]

To reclaim the table... :rolleyesw:


Quite possibly actually!!!

[Tin Pot]

....to ensure he's not going to be out of pocket come next Autumn!



He's moving house - they'll never find im' :wink:


I'll be good for my share of the deposit if it falls through - is that enough, or do you need me to vouch for the £97?

[Fieldsy]

In your case you should just give Robin the money now.

[Jahmoo]

Would hate to miss this, put me down:D

[Scott W]

I'm in

[MisterS3]

If numbers are short i'll come down for this one.

[Vince Baby]

Looking at the memberships section on the Hankley website, I see that maximum male handicap is 20, 29 for ladies.

Are you sure they'll let some of the rabble from Moongolfer on the course?:p

(BTW, I'm looking at no one in particular!)

Ok, I'll bring a book and my iPod just in case.

[stanster30]

My brother in law works in the print, so I'm sure he can knock some up :wink:

They didnt ask for any certificates when I was there. In fact max handicap was 28 with our lot and the guy I played with must have been off 36(minimum). He lost at least 12 balls in the morning, including every shot in the book.....shanks, tops,fats,thinks, air shots the whole shabang.... I started laughing at one point and couldnt stop.....

He got 8 points with a 4 pointer on his card....:laugh:

He went and bought another dozen balls for the afternoon 18 and promptly lost all those aswell....:D I ended up giving him balls I found in the heather while looking for his...

Fair do's to him though - he smiled all the way round...:)

[stanster30]

That sounds like my 'A' game. :tongue:

Will someone spot the opportunity and turn up with a supermarket trolley loaded with secondhand Top Flites?

[3puttwizard]

:laugh:

He was funny though couldn't help it....

He smashed his drives everywhere and said they went 300yds - where did it go?

I said yes miles into the heather....

When you play the 18th look for the shed on the other side of the trees on the right - he hit the roof of it...:D

I'll make a note of it in my diary for next September :rolleyesw:

[3puttwizard]

Anymore interest for this?

:rolleyes:

[Longshot]

Anymore interest for this?

:rolleyes:

Subject to final detail I can easily scare up 2 or 3 other players to make up the numbers.

[3puttwizard]

Ok, they can help look for your balls. :D

[Scott W]

I am in the process of trying to persuade a couple of buddies to sign up for the moon and at least one has expressed an interest in the 2008 venues so will chase them up

[3puttwizard]

Nice one Scott. We can find a reason to pink ball them for you at Hankley.... ;)

[Longshot]

Ok, they can help look for your balls. :D

At least I have some :D

[3puttwizard]

Wow.

Shame your footy team hasnt got any LMAO :D:D

[Longshot]

Wow.

No ? Let's wait and see. We've got at least two chances this year to sort this particular issue out :)

[Chris Stott]

Count me in.

[3puttwizard]

Done.

Watch you keep those trousers clean from the dusty heather...;)

[Chris Stott]

I'll be buying some new ones specially for the event ;)

[Mr2points]

I would love to attend

Mind you subject to confirmation nearer the time due to work and family commitments

[3puttwizard]

Put you down....just getting interest before I send the big boys round to squeeze the money out of you next year. :D;)

[Scott W]

Nice one Scott. We can find a reason to pink ball them for you at Hankley.... ;)

I think I will be adding to my pastel ball collection unless things improve, played like a c$ck at the weekend, beginning to wonder how i ever got to 20...think lessons are hindering not helping

[Stu-Pid]

I've just noticed that my name isn't on the list. I'll almost certainly be there.

But she said that I could go to this one as long as I'd done the washing up and taken the bins out before I left! :wink:

Yeah until 2 weeks before the event. Then she'll change her mind and you'll be grounded.

[Tin Pot]

But she said that I could go to this one as long as I'd done the washing up and taken the bins out before I left! :wink:

Tell her your spending the day with one of your other Gs because she's such a drag. That should spice things up a bit come home time.
