Apologies to anyone who was wondering where this post had gone. It got to the stage where we had thrown around so many ideas about locations, prices and dates that I decided the best course of action was to have the last post closed off and a new one started.

We have tried hard to find a location that is reasonably central to the country, offering good facilities at a reasonable cost. We apologise that there has been an increase in cost from the last location we put forward but we felt that one of the most important factors of these outings was to have everyone in the same place and enjoying the ambiance and experience, not hopping into taxi’s heading off to a nearby hotel.

So – without further adoo please find below the confirmed details for the next THP UK Golf Trip.

Dates: Sunday 29th and Monday 30th September 2013

Location: De Vere Belton Woods near Grantham - http://www.devere-hotels.co.uk/hotel-lodges/locations/belton-woods.html

Format:
1.Arrival on Sunday morning – 18 holes of Golf Sunday afternoon
2.Full use of on-site facilities including pool, Jacuzzi, steam room etc
3.Dinner on-site
4.Accommodation on the 4* resort
5.Full English Breakfast
6.18 Holes of Golf on the Monday

Prizes: As normal there will be a selection of competitions and prizes across the two days including,
1.Team Yellow Ball Competition
2.Longest Drive
3.Nearest the Pin
4.Winner
5.Runner Up

Total Cost: The total cost for the above event will be £110 that is inclusive of all of the above plus a contribution for prizes.

Single Day Golfers: I have confirmed that anyone who wants to come and play Golf on just one of the days will be fine to do so. I am still waiting on confirmation for the cost of the round but this is likely to be around £45.

Once again we do appreciate there is an increase in cost which we apologise for. Unfortunately the staff at Gainsborough golf club were not 100% clear on what was available and by the time we had added in the additional cost of hotel rooms at the cheapest/closest accommodation we were looking at something similar to this package anyway.

If I could ask everyone to again post their interest in this trip so we can confirm numbers?

1. Mav281 + Mrs Mav - Both Paid in Full
2. El Bandito + Mrs El Bandita - Both Paid in Full
3. Ianb281 + Mrs Ianb281 - Both Paid in Full

Update - WAG Attendance

Two or three of you have mentioned that it would be good to add a touch of class to the evenings by bringing along your classy better halves.

Hi bud, count me in for the Sunday game.

Will certainly buy you a beer afterwards. Or even before if it means I can beat you when you are drunk.

I will find out from my contact what the situation is. If they won't do anything I will have a word with Belton Woods direct and see wht they say.

Let you know mate.

thats a shame about Bully...he will be sorely missed:sad:

Count me in
 
Okey Dokey folks - looks like we have a good selection of people on the board :)

I have been asked by one or two people if there is anyway that WAG's could be entertained on these trips. Personally I have no objection to WAG's being invited along, and I am confident there is plenty of activities around the Belton Woods resort to keep them occupied.

With the above in mind and assuming no-one else has any major reservations I have made some enquires and confirmed the following,

WAG Option 1 - £89

* Dinner @ Belton Woods
* 4 Star overnight accommodation
* Full English Breakfast
* Full use of on-site facilities including, pool, sauna, Jacuzzi etc

WAG Option 2 - £105

* One 60 Minute Spa treatment on either the Sunday or the Monday
* Dinner @ Belton Woods
* 4 Star overnight accommodation
* Full English Breakfast
* Full use of all the on-site facilities throughout your stay

In terms of competitions I feel "Nearest the hole" is perhaps a little inappropriate, so no competitions for the WAG's :alien:

I strongly suggest we will leave those to the gentlemen/golfers along with the "penalty sambucca shots" at the dinner table :thumb:

If you fancy treating the wife or your girlfriend or indeed someone else's girlfriend please let me know ASAP as reservations will be made this wee and deposits will be required.

Cheers yall,

Mav
 
Guys I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that date yet ...

Dates at work are very tight and I'm about to take 5 weeks away from the office, I will try my best and I'm fairly certain that I will do everything to be there.

On a side note I took the trophy in today to have it engraved ... Pictures will follow as soon as I get it back and polished

Ah...a touch of class.

Mrs Bandito (La Bandita, if you will) will be taking WAG option 2. I will email the non-foruming boys and revert....

OK fella - understood.

I've got to make a booking at some point over the next few days or we risk losing the tee times and rooms.

Is there anyway you are going to be able to confirm in the next few days?
 
Chris it's going to be weeks rather than days matey

I'm moving house next week so it's also not the best idea to discuss spending £100 maybe in a few weeks :)
 
Ok mate understood.
