Sign up below, Also send an e-mail to [email protected] and i'll add you to the mailing list. Please suggest a Course and a date. Usually we have played Friday Afternoons.

Bigsmak Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Is the prize a plasma telly? Please note, that this has no affiliation with Kickback its just organised by the members of the board, for the members of the board. Last few years people have brought along a bottle or some balls to donate as prizes. Almost everyone got a prize at the last outings. So all is good. If someone wants to donate a Plasma TV, then the winner will get that. (unless someone donates a better prize) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be able to get a small discount on the golf as I can have a few members play in this. Anyone know anyone with a Bus/Car hire company that we can get a cheap minibus from?

Walter Bishop Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Sign me up, a saturday would be better for me aswell as i have no holidays left!!! What about Kingsacre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midloth_Iain Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I could be interested depending on dates. 27th September would be cool away to Dundee United that day Gullane sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsmak Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ok is Saturday the 27th good then Dundee Utd Away... So its not that exciting a game to be going to ... Aim for about a 10am meet for a bacon roll. Play around 11am. Drinking by 3pm. Courses.. Suggested so far. Gullane No.3 (I can bring members so might get a good discount) The Glen in North Berwick.. Great course for the price. Kingsacre Craigmillar Park (as we've been before and always had a good time) So - Is the date good? What course would you like...(please suggest more if you wish) I can source prices for golf and food (and minibus if needed) (we usually have been paying under ?30 for the day) .... and get back to you! The quicker we get it sorted, the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midloth_Iain Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Of those listed : THE GLEN - 1st Choice GULLANE 3 - 2nd Choice Suggest everyone interested votes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deek Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Shame about the date as I may have dusted the clubs down for their obligatory two year outing. But I am flying back from Spain that day and wont land until after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Thor Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm interested for the 27th Gullane 3 is a good track for an outing, not too long but enough of a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Bishop Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 what about something central rather than gullane or the glen? Braids 1 is a good course??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Harris Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Gullane has winter prices after 1st October Quality course at cheap prices Got a round on Gullane 1 early October for ?40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCGilmour Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 what sort of level does one need to be playing at to join in? A lot of guys don't like playing with players with less ability shall we say!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 what sort of level does one need to be playing at to join in? A lot of guys don't like playing with players with less ability shall we say!!! On one of the outings one of the players had never seen a golf course before, he'd been to the range a few times.. So Standard is not important. But on the other hand, playing a course like Gullane 1 or Braids 1 is probably a bit much for the overall standard of the group. It's mostly about getting drunk and the banter than the quality of golf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCGilmour Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 sounds like my kinda golf outing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'll probably be up for it, although I think it would be better to not do it on a match day. I also think the Braids 1 course is a bit tricky. I have improved since last time (I'm getting close to hitting a sub 100 at Silverknowes), but the Braids is just murder! For the price you guys are talking about for Gullane, you'd be as well going for Murrayfield. They do a bacon roll before/fish n chips after and a round for ?44. It's very central and a beautiful course. It's only another ?4 and you'd be saving on the minibus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 If we could have made the tee off times around 1-2pm then I could have made it, however I'll struggle with the early start as I'll need to take my kids back home to their mum and she wont like it if I take them back that early. Put my name down if I can get a late start, other than that I'll need to pass mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Put my name down if I can get a late start, other than that I'll need to pass mate. Sure... Nothing finalised about times yet... The ones I put were just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep you posted.Is a Sunday any good???? Ted Newbattle is a notoriously wet track and is regularly closed when other courses are fine. This summer will have been a mare for them. I played Broomieknowe last monday and it was like a bog too. Something coastal might be in better condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
