"Scottish" GCA Winter get together
« on: December 28, 2017, 12:54:55 PM »
The last couple of years have seen a small but select crowd of the Scottish contingent (and associates) get together for a January game on a links (Gullane 3 in 2016, Goswick in 2017).  Is anyone up for a get together this January or February?  I'd be happy to sort something at Elie, but would happily travel elsewhere.
In July I will be riding two stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity, including Mont Ventoux for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

Count us in, Mark, assuming we are selected and/or not elsewhere (particularly in Marbella late Jan early Feb).

Feb sometime probably best for me. Maybe wait to see who’s all coming, before final decision to allow the more southerly and northerly folks a chance?

OK.  That's enough interest.  Given that it's already nearly January, I'm thinking a February trip and perhaps mid to late Feb to ensure the Goodales are back in town.  I'll check with the club and suggest a date or two, though I can't imagine a problem with availability of times in February!

Mark,

Thanks for taking the lead again this year to organise.

Looks like there’s already a decent amount of interest and I’d be keen to join too. Mid to late February would work fine for me.

I'm an hour away from Sentandrews (as we say in Fife), but that weekend is not possible.  If you could drop into Aberdour on your way back to EDI let me know and I'll buy you a drink at the best clubhouse views in the UK and Ireland.


Happy New Year!

Afternoon Gents - haven't been on for a while, mainly due to not getting enough time to actually golf never mind talk about it, but have been bitten by the bug again - I'd be keen to make this if I can and meet some more GCAers in the flesh so to speak!

Not so much Winter but Spring.


Elie have times available on Sunday 18 March, if people are interested.  The winter weekend rate is £48 but I can sign 3 guests on at £10 and we can average the cost over how ever many decide to play.  So, who's up for 18 March at Elie?

Good work, Mark, but I'll be in Florida after Mar 14.  Anybody for a winter get together on Amelia Island?
