Plan & preperation stage.  

Who fancies Portugal

That would be Branston; nice place, but the 18th makes people rather nervous (golfing and watching when outside!).

I recently started playing in July and the areas you all went to last time, are local to me now as it happens (I'm S.Derbyshire/Staffs way), so would be interested if it's likely to be around here. I've only done 3 rounds of 9 holes and 1 round of 18, but had lessons beforehand so not a complete liability - I just think of the extra shots as "better value for money"

Typically, I'm averaging two-over per hole, primarily as a result of my equipment (very very flexible beginner graphite shafts meaning I can't control my long irons as well, resulting in teeing off with my 7 iron quite a lot - instant  1 shot) and partly due to extra putts (the other  1). I like to be prepared with excuses But still - enjoy playing it, so that's what counts, right? Think of me as the person that means you can't possibly finish last!

We also did one at Signs original club The Craythorne, a tough little course which I believe sadly closed down a couple of years ago..

Edit: Last few years has ping ponged between Derbyish and Yorkshireish, if there is some interest building, maybe we should look at trying to do it again, it may be too late for a Sep/Oct day this year though..

Qactuar

Where's Craythorne at? Not heard of it if it's local but that's no measure of my knowledge!

I'm always up for a round if people are nearby to East Mids etc (wife due November). I could do October most likely!

October is ok for me, any day of the week.

I don't mind commuting.

Ditto

Toasty

It was in Stretton, but probably been closed for a couple of years now.

If you fancy Whitefield (Northwest) my club is Pike Fold.

domtheone

Not played much (shoulder injury) bar a couple of efforts on the par 3's.

Could maybe do a round in mid-late October.

Even though i don't play much now, would love a game overseas (Portugal or wherever).

Nice course, buggy, warm sunshine, villa, pool etc etc

Dony

@domtheone I'm with you on the etc etc
