Guys,
What Tony has said is correct however, I have of course gone the extra mile for you all and already arranged the hotel for early arrival and late departure as you like it. All you have to do is call/mail them to arrange.
If you tell me how's definitely in for Thursday and Friday golf then I'll give that a go as promised at the courses I already mentioned.
Ulrich, yes that definitely sounds like fun. How is the German hcp system by the way? My German golf buddy is a 3 hcp, seems to win a few of these open events in Germany each year and has never broken 85 at Noordwijk. Since he's my only reference it would be fun to have a pool to see which nationalities hcp system delivers the closest to accurate results at Noordwijk and to see who if any play under their hcp (this group will forever in my eyes be seen as sandbaggers).
I'm going to make the bet open to everyone coming in some way shape or form. If you are a 5 hcp and lower and you break 80, stroke play from the white tees on your first go on Monday I'll buy your drinks. Pre-requisite is that the wind is blowing at least at the annual average of windforce 4.5. If your hcp is between 6-12 well make it 85 and if your hcp is higher than that we'll make it 90.
BTW. just to make it specific enough, I'm talking about 18 holes of golf, not breaking 80 on the front 9. ;-) Also all hcps need to be verifiable.
If you lose the bet don't worry, you owe me nothing, everyone has lost so far but it will be fun watching everyone sweat a bit.
