Time for a recap on plans for Friday 11 August...
Reigate Heathhttp://www.reigateheathgc.com/Tee times from 9 to 9.30am MEET AT REIGATE HEATH AT 8.30am!
We have space for 10 players booked as follows:
1. James Boon
2. SPARE PLACE. PLAYER NEEDED TO MAKE UP PAIRS!
3. Ben Stephens
4. Duncan Cheslett
5. Mike Whitaker
6. Jack Weiner
7. Mike Malone
8. Mark Pearce
9. Conrad Gamble
10. Giles Payne
We will be playing as 2 balls as that is the requirement for a Friday morning from the club. They seemed very happy to welcome visitors from across the pond and golf architect types and so further good news is that they have given us courtesy of the course as long as we promise to give them feedback regarding the club and the course. However this is restricted to 10 players so I'm keeping this booking to that figure, so once its full up its full.
Last tee off 9.30, allow 1.5 hours for 2 ball of 9 holes, means finished by 11am. Reigate Heath to Crowborough Beacon is approximately an hours drive, so that gives us plenty of time to get to Crowborough for the first tee time there of 13.28.
I'd usually suggest travelling to Crowborough before eating, but as Reigate are giving us courtesy, some guys may feel better grabbing a bit to eat there, even if its more brunch than lunch? Thoughts?
Crowborough Beaconhttp://www.cbgc.co.uk/Tee times 1.28 to 1.52pm We have 4 tee times and the following confirmed:
1. James Boon
2. Robin Hiseman
3. Ben Stephens
4. Duncan Cheslett
5. Sterling Forsyth
6. Craig Disher
7. Mike Whitaker
8. Jack Weiner
9. Mike Malone
10. Sean Arble
11. Andy Levett
12. Bill Gayne
13. Mark Pearce14. Conrad Gamble 15. Giles Payne
I'm suggesting we play in 3 balls to keep things moving, which will hopefully mean the last group finish before 6. Its then an hours drive to Rye, and while it may be a Friday evening I'm hoping that the summer holidays mean traffic isnt to bad. This should all give us plenty of time to get to Rye, check in, freshen up and then get to the evening meal, BUT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DAWDLING!!!
Evening Meal: The Standard Inn
https://www.thestandardinnrye.co.uk/
Table booked for 8.45
After 27 holes and plenty of driving I'm going to be starving so hope we all make the Standard Inn in good time and I'm eating by 8.45 if not before! Sean has the following booked in (his nicknames not mine):
Boony
Ben
Pearce
Conrad
Giles
Whitty
Sterling
Spangles
The Yank
Doc Hiseman
Mayday
Jack
Summary:
We've a spare space at Reigate Heath. As we'll be playing pairs, ideally we need another player to make this work.
Have I missed anyone? Any changes in plans? Comments?
Cheers,
James
