* 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.

Some of the 'departed' share holders have expressed an interest in selling thier
shares.

The shares were originally issued at 1. Some have been sold at a premium of up 1.10.

I have bought additional shares at 75p.

There is a little bit more detail than I have given, but it could be an interesting opportunity for shrewd investors like yourselves.

Other than my own personal share holding( and 2 holes in one) I have no official connection with Stonecheck plc who own Brampton Park GC.

I would be interested in your views on this ' opportunity'.

Having a hole in one does create problems.

For instance every week we enter in a '2s' competition.

Does a hole in one count as 2 2s or no 2s.

They finally compromised and said the 2s competition was a 2 or better.

It just ins't fair.

Brock: interesting. Huntingdon seems an attractive area, close to Cambridge and thus prime area for residential development. A developer should buy up at a reasonable premium given that they are typically prepared to hold for a longish period. Not clear why original plan was for only 10 years and what options are open in 2007. The problem with an ageing membership is that they are typically not prepared to look ahead. The shares are so widely spread out that there is not the financial motivation to exploit the situation. An alternative might be to find a company that already has golf course investments to buy out the shareholders at a premium - particularly if you can get a competition going. I ss the trend in the US and Spain to residential proeprties flanking a golf course being increasingly significant over here.

Hope that helps; it might at least get some commentary going.

Eric

So you were really out of pocket with a huge round of drinks minus only one box of balls to offset for your '2'. lol! But thank your lucky stars you weren't in Scotland. Pal had a one at Elie, Fife and clubhouse was thankfully empty when we got back in. Within five minutes the clubhouse was packed as the news brought everyone from a packed meeting downstairs and I suspect all the residents of the local community! Their wee dram were 1/4s rather than 1/6ths of course.

Eric

Brock

at our course a hole in 1 counts as 4 2s in the sweep - you got diddled mate

= 2 x Twos where I played: confirmed as the only time I have ever got a hole-in-one in a Comp. Magical moment though, never to be forgotten (was a poor undergraduate at the time!).

Brock, our M-AM NTP hole at HL will be the 9th. Hole which is 144 yards off yellow (160 off White) so you should be OK. Interesting read re: your own Club. Tend to agree with Eric in that frontline property throughout Europe is prime spot ATM. BTW have you booked in at the Club Hotel yet? I have received your entry fee cheque, thanks.

M.

I rather fortunately had a hole in one a few years ago on the last day of the Ryder cup so dont need to tell you the club house was full !
Well worth the cost of these drinks as I had serious doubts it would ever happen.

My first hole in one came after 25 years of golf.

Reminder: deadline for additional entries expires at 00:00-Midnight tonight (i.e. Online indication), 14 May (chq received = absolutely no later than: 19 May).

Another 2 entrants would make my prefered total of 12 (easily divsible for a.m. 4-balls and p.m. 3-balls) so any last-minute applications would be more than welcomed here...?

Everyone, please keep me updated re: exact handicaps, in the run up to: "THE FIFTH MAJOR!". Thanks.
Apparently Sky TV have also been in touch.....

Rutherford,

Just to let you know I have received your cheque into the office.

Mark,

I will forward it onto you today,

Ian

Morning 9-Holes Comp. will be a 3/4 Stab. 4BBB with high & how handicap pairings: - A&J, B&I, C&H, D&G and E&F. However morning tee-off groupings (two 3-balls and one 4-ball) will be selected based on your personal requests + endeavouring to mix 'n match it as much as possible. The actual better-ball scores will be calculated retrospectively, i.e. once the final group is in.

LUNCH...

Afternoon Main 18-Holes Event - teeing off in EXACT handicap order: -
1. A B C
2. D E F
3. G H I J

Hence repeat my request to keep me updated on your week-by-week handicap adjustments...?

Thanks to last two medal comps my exact hcp is now 18.1

I wud like to play with MG in the morning with Choccie as caddie.

PS how can u play 4BBB with groups of 3??. The only way I know is to have "Ghost partners", partners are drawn after finish of play

Bob

Bob: you need to re-read the post of marcus before yours. He is saying that partners are allocated in advance, do not play together and better ball is calculated retrospectively. Fortunately, I have a Maths degree!

Bob
We'de better make her an offer she can't refuse. Horse's head in the bed comes to mind........

Don mgleone

And I think the pairings are for the afternoon - we can play with anyone - even ourselves - in the morning. Come to think of it ....... nah, better not
