AVF Golf Day - October 2013 - Friday 11th @ Sandburn Hall

TheCSSDoctor

Hi folks,

As suggested by Ultima, I have started a fresh thread for the next golf day

Sandburn Hall

Sandburn Hall, Scotchman Lane, Flaxton, York, YO60 7RB

Friday 11th October - first tee off at 9.56am

Coffee and bacon rolls on arrival
18 holes of golf
Meal - Steak pie and chips

Cost - £25

We have 3 tee times starting at 9.56am, but I will enquire as to whether or not this could be extended (although this will mean an earlier start due to a society booked in after us)

I have updated the first post to now contain the details for the day and a list of people definitely attending

Ultima

Sounds good, I'm happy to go along with whatever is agreed by the majority.

Gordon B

£55 is a bit rich for my blood tbh. Sandburn Hall, £25 bacon roll and pie will do me just fine

Of course, this is all dependent on you playing off your actual handicap, 26 points on the front nine.....

Abbeygoo

Wow! Did he wear a mask?  What handicap was that off .....?

TheCSSDoctor

Yeah, I was thinking the same about the Rockliffe price, but Sandburn is well worth the £25

Played off 19 (18.7 based on handicap tracker) but had one of those days where everything just really clicked and I felt like I could hardly put a foot wrong. It was the 3 birdies that made the score and one of them was a chip-in from off the back of the green - I just got more luck with the greens than everyone else did

It was a little bit embarrassing in some ways as those sorts of rounds are few and far between especially considering the state of the greens, so it is unlikely to be repeated at the next day.....

signs

Nah , not at all,  fair play to you , now tell us again how far you can hit that five wood

TheCSSDoctor

Got some info from Darlington GC today, they can do a similar package to Sandburn Hall, but a 2 course meal and it costs £32


Played a round this morning to break in a new pair of shoes, shot 86 and scored 39 points off my new handicap of 17 and the tracker has adjusted it down to 16.6 from 17.2 so keeping up the good scoring

TheCSSDoctor

Well I still haven't heard anything back from Romanby golf club so beginning to think about writing them off if they aren't interested in replying to an enquiry


After playing there recently, I would happily recommend Sandburn Hall so if people are happy with that I will drop them a line and see about firming a date

Assuming we are looking at the Fridays in October, that means the 4th, 11th, 18th or 25th - does anybody have any particular preference, or if I said the 11th, are people happy with that?

If so, I will drop Sandburn a line after the weekend when I get back from the Belfry and see if we can get something booked

Toasty

Sandburn sounds good to me if it makes deciding easier. 18th is not a good date for me, so would prefer the other dates in October.

Ultima

11th October is fine with me.
