AVForums Golf Day V: Edinburgh, Friday 11th April

[Woodywizz]

Well the dust has just settled on golf day 4 and a half. We did not count the last golf day as a proper one due to the short timescales involved and the fact that only 5 of us turned out - thanks everyone for attending. So far we have had golf days at the following places :

• Golf Day 1 : Chapel-en-le-Frith Golf Club, Derbyshire;
• Golf Day 2 : The Craythorne, Burton-on-Trent;
• Golf Day 3 : Whitefield Golf Club, Manchester;
• Golf Day 4 : The Bridlington Links, Yorkshire;
• Golf Day 4 1/2 : Denton Golf Club, Manchester;

So, we are now looking for a splendid turnout on Golf Day 5. I would suggest that we hold it in late March / April of next year. This time I think we should go darn sarf. So, who is up for it? recommendations as to courses/accomodation/dates are always welcome.


Given the number of members on here then we really should be getting a great turn-out. I have attended every single golf day and have made some good friends, so come on lads - what do you all think?

EDIT : Jan 14th 2008 :

The course is now "The Braids" in Edinburgh, the date is April 11th 2008.

Price is £30 for 9 holes in the morning and 18 in the afternoon on the No.1 course - voted 74th in the top 100 courses in the UK

Confirmed starters so far are :

Me : Paid in full
Abbeygoo

could we possibly go a bit further north?

maybe the borders or east lothian would be ideal, may be able to get us cheap accomodation and transport!

[booyaka]

Scotland is a good shout for me! Happy to potentially recommend any courses around the Ayrshire/Glasgow/Edinburgh area.

Also prestwick/Glasgow airport is a good potential for people to get Ryanair/easyjet flights etc if needed.

[Abbeygoo]

yeah I think Scotland is a real possibility - we've had a few more people from up north express an interest than anywhere else I think .... so my vote is for Scotland.

Edit..........Dom can you do a more upto date pic please

[Woodywizz]

Rob...just a reminder....Dom owed you £50

Scotland is fine for me as well

[geomuss]

oh now this sounds good, lets gauge a response from the other members

and i can see about courses

gullane, royal musselburgh, craigielaw

or now this may appeal to you lads

18 holes at royal musselburgh, lovely course or monktonhall etc

followed by 9 holes of old time golf on the first course to hold the british open.

using the old hickory sticks etc etc. great laugh!

A nearby suitable evening entertainment venue is a must!

well theres loads of nightlife to choose from in edinburgh.

something posh and pretentious for woody

and something a little bit more common for the serfs.

[Woodywizz]

If Edinburgh is close enough then that will do - plenty of quality establishments for the night time entertainment.

[Abbeygoo]

Yes, I believe I have already frequented such a venue .... erm, Bottoms Up I think it was called

ah one of our finest establishments good drink, good VIEWS

[johnscarlet]

I'll close the GD4.5 thread

[shandypants]

Morning gentlemen

Glad you enjoyed GD4.5 and all the associated entertainment - so did the holy grail of lapdances - "The Triple" - occur then?

Obviously I'd vote for darn sarf as I'm already here, but I enjoyed my trip to Edinburgh coastline in september - the courses were all great and local pubs were quality.

Can't speak for Edinburgh city centre as we never made it that far

PS
We played The Glen at North Berwick, Gullane no 2 and 3, and Kilspindie GC

No Triple mate.

8 singles was a fine effort though
