* M0NEY-AM G0LF DAY EVENT: 27 HOLES, INCL. SUSTENANCE & PRIZES (IN ADDITION TO M0NEY-AM SPONSORED PRIZES!) on: -
THURSDAY, 08 JUNE, 2006 *

So several months have passed... Based on the success of last Summer's Event at Longcliffe G.C., a few of you have asked me to take over the reigns from PTH and organise another G0LF M0NEY-AM DAY again based in the MIDLANDS. This is fairEST to the majority coming from all over the UK! From initial feedback (reflecting on 2005 36-Hole hot mid-Summer's day!), the popular view for a 2006 Event has been agreed, as follows: -

* Tea/Coffee on arrival.
* 9 Holes (4BBB 3/4 Stab.) Comp.
* Sandwiches/Lunch.
** 18 Holes (MAIN INDIVIDUAL (FULL HANDICAP) STABLEFORD EVENT) with M-AM and Golfing Prizes for Winners, incl. "Nearest-to-the-Pin" on the 9th. Hole and "The-Longest-Drive" on the 18th. Hole.
* 3-Course Evening Dinner (full waitress service), incl. coffee & mints + Prize Presentation/Mic. Table.

(** ADDITIONAL PRIZES from our generous SPONSORS include: - 3 months worth of Shares Magazine sent to the homes of EACH COMPETITOR every week. The Overall Winner will get The Money-AM Annual Golf Challenge Cup to keep for good plus 1 year's worth of Money-AM Level 2 service worth 357.50 + Vat. The Runner-Up and Third Placed Winners will each get a medal to keep plus 6 months' level 2.)

Venue: - H0RSLEY L0DGE G.C., Belper, Derbyshire (Championship Meadowland Course with American-type Greens). Refreshments will be in the On-Site Kingfisher Restaurant. Entry Fee is: - 60 per Competitor which will cover all of the above ** plus enough to buy some additional golfing prizes.

* < A WEEK TO GO BEFORE CLUB DEADLINE * ONLY 5 PLACES REMAINING * SO GET THOSE ENTRY-COMMITMENTS IN SWIFTLY! *

Markus , I have been playing on bad greens , cannot hole a putt. I putt better on good greens . Horsley may the course that can bring back my form !

Agree, Fliper. About three weeks ago our greens were running true and I had a round with 24 putts. Now, the hollow tining marks are indeed hollow which is not tehe intention, you can't putt with any confidence and you can easily take 10 mor shots in the round. Just looking forward to those US standard greens; what you see is what you get.

Agree re the badger's friend - what is she called?

At Horsley, they can put the pins in some nasty spots which can result in 3 or 4 putts . 3 to 4 levels on most of the greens . Unless markus speaks to the greenkeeper at 7am on the day of the comp ,it will be 36 or more putts for us all . (WHO SAID MARKUS HAS NEVER GOT UP BEFORE DINNER ! )

Ugh! Now, what is in the best interests of markus? First thought is that he will choose positions where he understands the vagaries and how to get at the pins. Second thought is that he will choose positions that he knows Fliper doesn't like. Third thought is that I was brought up putting at Pitlochry which made the 16th at Augusta look like child's play so I say: 'do your worst!'

Eric

if Pitlochry is the course i am thinking of, the first time i played there i hit 2 shots into the first about 15ft past a pin on the front edge. Thought id holed the putt only to watch in disbelief as it lipped out and kept going. Had to get my wedge back out and walk back down the hill!!!!

By the time id finished the 3rd that spring couldnt come soon enough

The shark knows I can draw or fade the ball into the pins . He has told me of a restaurant that I can eat for free , the night before the big day !

edit

Markus , I see you have a new website , www.sharkenergy.co.uk , is this the drink that adds 50 yards to your drive ?

Brock123, I have received your cheque from Ian T today. Thanks for acting so swiftly, Tom. I only wish others would follow your lead! Spoke with HL management today and your room is now reserved until a fortnight prior to the Event, i.e. you need to contact them directly to make a nominal deposit by the 25th. May, latest.

Fliper, I needed some energy today... played in HL Medal this morning [see, mornings DO exist!]: 86 - and the worrying thing is this - Course was immaculate and the greens were the best I have seen them since I first joined. No-one in front or behind - "millionaires' golf!" - beautiful weather - breathtaking scenery - omnipresent lush green ambience - very good company - The Shark simply: "had a mare", sadly - 36 putts which is cataclysmic pour moi, as you know. :o(

Eric, do not worry, sir, Yours Truly CAN get up early when he has to. Yes, tight pin positions on HL can make up to a 4 - 5 stroke difference to the average player but sharks just attack whatever is put in their way, remember? :o)

PTH, You may well get cut anyway on 'Clause 19' as your '9' will default down to a nett double-bogey and so forth.

Bite? Errrr, pot calling kettle methinks!! This particular hook has been well and truly swallowed by the so-called shark. Mind you not much of a shark on the golf course at the moment, more like a stickleback :-)

As you are so confident of beating me, lets make that the bet, I win, you pay my entry fee, you win, I...........err.............buy you a pint!! Fair enough?

pth

PS. 86 NETT??? Wish I had been there, would have popped a rib laughing!!

MARKUS , PTH said 10 or 11 for the comp . I think he ment your odds 10-1 !!!!

OK, I'll have a grand e/w on mi sen @ 10/1 then, please! Izdatt OK?

Markus will there be a wooden spoon as I would hate to have to go home all that way with nothing ?

Made my first venture onto the couse today, most enjoyable it was too. Only played 9 holes at the local public course but managed 2 birdies and an eagle (wdie open course and front tees). Still hoping to make the day but having big probs re moving house that week

PS didnt know 84s came as NETT, thought it was only a GROSS size lol

Mark

Thanks for the offer to accommodate my friend in the golf competition.

Unfortunatley, he suffered a bad knee injury on Monday which will keep out of golf for at least 3 months.(I think he fell off his wallet).

Look forward to meeting you all on 8th Jun.

Brock123

Oh ok - guess I'll go if M goes ... just to watch the feathers flying off the birdies :)

You'll have to ask him nicely now though, Markie Mark - I'll hold the stick while he holds the bottle.
