Thumbs up Golf in Essex perhaps?

After chatting with a few people at meets it appears that there a few more golf nutters out there just like me!

Thought we could perhaps arrange a golf day at a club somewhere. If there are enough people interested maybe do some groups of 4 on a four ball better ball team competition ... get a few small trophies.

The reason I say four ball better ball is that the higher handicappers can team up with a lower handicap player and because you have to play alternate shots it will make the competition much more fun and also a chance for people to pick up tips on their game.

How's about it?? Possible days to be looked at if enough people come through ...

1) Gangsta Smurf - 13 handicap

How about Sunday 4th July??

Course ... well I am a member of Thorpe Hall, which are really crap with allowing guests to play. Garons is a good course, and suited to the handicap range we have. It is located in Southend close to Waitrose.

Other options welcomed but I would say Garons is the best option!

More the merrier J.K ... We'll go with Garons for the moment. Can't see any problems arising!

I'll book the tee off times in sequence. Prob start at 11:00am?

Oh and will anyone require a buggy ... I can book these at the same time if there are any requests.

Apparently it is fixed ... again ... ! Had a technician come out today and re-do the pipework - the check engine light has now gone out. Hopefully when I take it out tonight for a ragging ... I mean test drive ... it should be sorted. Just praying that the damn fuel cut doesn't come in again!
