AVF Golf Day "Fore" - Friday 3rd August 2007

Ultima · 23-05-2007, 11:02 AM

AVF Golf Day "Fore" has been scheduled for Friday 3rd August 2007. I am proposing a visit to this wonderful golf course that I played a few years ago.

Bridlington Links

Need a MINIMUM of 12 people and the day will consist of the following

* Coffee & Bacon Sandwich
* 9/18 Holes
* Light Lunch
* 18 Holes
* Three Course Dinner

All for the reasonable sum of £37.50. Deposits will be £10 per person. The course is available at the moment and I'll need to book it ASAP.

Please ask any questions on this thread and confirm attendance ASAP.

This will be a superb day/night out and hopefully more members will attend. I'll be donating £100 towards prizes and the winner of the day will have there name put on the coveted AVF Golf Day Trophy kindly donated by Signs.

Finally as the organsier of this wonderful day, I'd just like to thank Woodywizz for the superb job he did organising the last event.

I would love to come to one if these days but they are allways too far away if you ever do one in scotland(the home of golf) let me know, st andrews would be good.

domtheone · 23-05-2007, 12:50 PM

Count me in Martin

Send me a PM with details where and whom I should send deposit too, etc etc.

Links course eh.....I'll make sure I bring my diving gear

I'm sure we will travel to Scotland in due course. W're gradually working our way North anyway

I think the aim is to do 2/3 days per year. Not sure if we'll get another 1 in this year. If not, i'll strongly recommend to the board that Scotland is given the highest consideration for 2008

C225 - no excuses mate

Get a plane! I did for the last one and it was a top day out (hmmm, just thinking about the evening spectacle makes me go all .. err... I'll shut up now)

As a side note I am 99% certain to be in Spain that weekend but should that fall through I'll be there. Curious to see what Martin's manor has to offer in regard to the nightlife!!

That's right.

I thought 3rd Aug was ok for everyone since nobody voted it not an option

Ultima · 23-05-2007, 12:58 PM

Dom, I'll PM you later with details mate.

Shandy, be disappointing not to see you there mate but there's always the next time.

"Is that fruit salad"

kills me that does.

C225, it's not far mate, be good to see you there

You know you want to. Oh and Scotland sounds fine to me especially St Andrews, fancy organising the next one?????

Martin

C225 · 23-05-2007, 1:04 PM

The cost to get there would be more than day itself and i dont even know where bridlington is other than in yorkshire.

As i said if there is one in scotland you can garuntee i will be there but i would advise against the old course it's over £100 a round each

the other courses are quite cheap though.

shandypants · 23-05-2007, 1:08 PM

Cheers!

I'm not ruling it out but I am currently scheduled to be away that weekend and will know for sure in plenty enough time to still make AVFGD4 if not.

Incidentally I'm off to Scotland (for the first time) golfing this september - playing three courses on the coastline just north of Edinburgh (The Glen at North Berwick, Guillane no2 and Longniddry). They all look spectacular from the pics but we shall see!

Woodywizz · 23-05-2007, 4:57 PM

Many thanks for your compliments Martin on "Golf Day III".

Definitely count me in on this one

....thought we were playing at your course though

Very generous of you to offer £100 toward the prizes - you do not need to mate, as I'm sure we'll all agree.

Looking forward to it already.

PM me your address and I'll send the full amount straight away.

See my last post here

I gave him a bollocking, he should have told me they were planning the rule change.

Anyway, Bridlington Links is a superb course and I've been planning on returning there since I played it a few years ago. Nobody will be disappointed.

I'll see if I can find details of hotels/b&b's etc and post details soon.

PM Sent mate.

Martin

Woodywizz · 23-05-2007, 5:21 PM

No worries mate - just been on the Bridlington Links site and it does look very very good

The North Sea looks particularly inviting for golf balls

*The Dude* · 23-05-2007, 5:58 PM

You can count me in this time, deposit will be winging your way on Monday.

Bridlington is a really nice course

, if you can make it, you owe it to your clubs to be there.

Brid's a cracking night out too, not sure if they've got a Spearmint Rhino yet, but there are plenty of 'similar' establishments along the seafront..

Just remember, bring plenty of balls if you 'fade' it off the tee.

I thank you on Abbeygoo's behalf.

Being on the "seafront" though....don't they smell of fish?

Woodywizz · 23-05-2007, 6:12 PM

As the golf day/evening is in Yorkshire - then can we expect the evening's entertainment to look like this....

Abbeygoo · 23-05-2007, 6:24 PM

Count me in too.

Looking for a place to stay as we speak ..... come on the Bridlington birds!

That's the inherent beauty of Bridlington....... everyone smells of fish.

Ultima · 24-05-2007, 8:25 AM

Come on guys, we need a minimum of 12 for this superb day and night out.

Don't need to be great at golf, just be able to have a laugh and joke and enjoy the banter.

Everyone welcome.

Martin

Ultima · 24-05-2007, 4:19 PM

Woodywizz · 24-05-2007, 4:24 PM

Again - bit of a slow start, it will pick up Martin...we'll easily get 12.

I'll post something in GC.

**zAndy1** · 24-05-2007, 5:29 PM

Well this is in my neck of the woods (30 odd miles way) but when you say you don't need to be great at golf I assume you need to be a certain standard? I used to play a few years ago but frankly I was crap (so presumably I still am!). If it doesn't matter how much of a hacker you are and assuming I can get the day off work then I'd love to come along (so that's a definite maybe).

Great stuff, your more than welcome to come along mate, doesn't matter how good or bad you are as long as you can have a laugh and a bit of banter that's fine

Let us know as soon as possible so that I can let the club know the numbers.

Be good to see you there

Would be great to see yoiu there Andy

Don't worry about being crap - it's not stopped me attending all 3 golf days so far

**zAndy1** · 24-05-2007, 8:20 PM

I'll see if I can get the day off tomorrow and update this thread when I find out for sure.

**zAndy1** · 24-05-2007, 8:26 PM

By the way, I assume you need your own clubs? I've got some but they've been in the garage for about 7 years and I suspect they won't exactly be in tip top condition! I'll check what state they're in (and whether any are missing) tomorrow but if worse comes to worse can you hire clubs?

Yes Andy, you'll be able to hire them at the club.

**zAndy1** · 25-05-2007, 6:31 PM

Not going to know for sure until the week after next I'm afraid, I've asked but August is already very over subscribed for hols so it's in the lap of the gods I'm afraid. Will let you know as soon as I find out for sure

Cheers
Andy

Woodywizz · 25-05-2007, 6:58 PM

**zAndy1** · 26-05-2007, 12:18 AM

Yeah I'd love to make it but I forgot about the hols issue in August, now I remember a few weeks ago my boss said nobody else would get any August hols approved. I'll just have to hope they make an exception seeing as it's just one day and the people that usually cover for me are around that day anyway. Fingers crossed!
