* 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.

* Please keep me up-to-date on exact handicap amendments * as the Big Day dawns...

To: ALL PARTICIPANTS...

Please note that I plan to post final arrangements for "The 5th. Major" on Tuesday evening between: 21:00 & midnight. This will confirm everything you need to know, incl. all tee-off times, 3-Ball and 4BBB players & pairings, checking-in/hotel/car-
parking/changing facilities, eating arrangements and Prizes details, etc., etc..

Therefore may I respectively ask that you post any last-minute amendments to handicaps, personal 4BBB playing requests and anything else which you would like me to consider * no later than 20:00 on Monday * if possible? I am endeavouring to accommodate everyone, as best I can...

M.

Played a round with Markus today at HL, played an absolute shocker, so my odds should move to total outsider. Only consolation was Markus' form was also shoddy, but that was probably me dragging him down to my level!!.

The course is in beautiful condition, well presented and the greens fast and true. Think those who haven't played HL before may struggle on the undulating greens, very difficult to judge the pace.

Eric, the way I was driving today, your bet is safe!!

I am sure we will all have a great day, as long as Markus manages to turn up on time. Pitched up today on the tee, at exactly TOT, so not late but ..............

pth

Suggest Markus stays overnight at the Club Wednesday night. At least he can then greet us in his dressing gown or whatever he wears, if anything! I've heard it before, pth, talking your own chances down: happy to take an each way bet.

Eric

markus , no more reductions because all my games are matchplay and am-ams . will have a good look at horsley on monday .

Still took the money off PTH on Friday! Some of you have my no. so an 08:30 alarm call would be most welcomed on Thursday morning!

Checked - and so far, only Messrs. Robson and Rutherford are booked into the Hotel for Thursday evening - Tom (Brock123), you are not booked in apparently so presume you are now sorted re: accomodation? If not, you need to make a call swiftly, sir! I have asked them to keep a room open for you as long as possible. Any problems, contact me a.s.a.p..

M.

After today's Medal will be back to 16.1, although hitting the ball much better today, a 2 stroke penalty for playing my partner's ball didn't help matters though, particularly as I parred the hole without the penalty!!

Markus' recently sustained shoulder injury is not looking (or feeling!) good at this moment :o( :o(

Sunday: lovely day. Perspiration. Richard Slatter Memorial Day shot-gun start. Groupings arranged at last moment: playing with Guy Day, 5 and Richard and Ross, juniors, both 6. Very long hitters. Demoralised. nett 84. But hooray! Up to 20.5 so get extra shot for 5th Major!

Monday: still pleasant. Inspiration. Vets Championship Stableford. Two under after 11; then, disaster, two blobs and a one to be 3 over. But finish with 3 3-pointers (including extra shot from yesterday) and a two. 36 points. 2nd! But boo! Down to 20.1 so back to 20 for the 5th Major. Consolation - paired with the Shark, which don't complain about injuries, just bite off the opposition!

Eric

markusantonius

Handicap still 19.5.

I have decided not to stayovernight and have advised the hotel accordingly.

My wife has agreed to drive me there and back, so she would like to attend the dinner.

Finally, is there a dress code for the dinner?

Brock

OK, Brock123, just thought I would double-check as I was told that only Eric and David were booked in - didn't want you to have to slum it under a bus shelter, that's all! I will pose the question re: an extra dinner place for your wife tomorrow. It may be too late although there is sometimes a Carvery on? But no guarantees. BTW just the evening dinner or everything else, i.e. same as us (minus the golf)?
Wish you'd have told me this earlier, Tom!

Dress code: -
Golfing trousers or taylored shorts & white stockings on course +
Smart/casual in the Clubhouse for Tea/Coffee + Lunch +
Collar & tie for the evening meal (but if it's hot and humid: b****x to wearing a jacket!).

Mark,

Just to let you know, the courier let me down yesterday, so I will re organise today for delivery of the trophy to the address you supplied me .

Ian

Wife will only require dinner in the evening. She will do here own thing for the rest of the day.

Thanks

Tom

Markus , thursdays temp will be 25 , do we need collar and tie ? will smart non golfing shirt be ok ( no tie )

Fliper, Up until the Evening Dinner we will be OK in smart/casual, yes. However, from past experience (Club matches, etc.), I think jacket & tie will be expected of us. Maybe we should all assume the above and I will double-check, in the meantime.....?
