* 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.

___________________________

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

Will post < midnight tomorrow re: final arrangements, as promised...

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.....?

As promised, herewith Thursday's Itinerary.....

Appropriate Attire: -
Traditional Golfing gear or tailored shorts & white stockings on Course +

If I may suggest something ~ we all put a fiver in the Kitty [same as last year] for the Morning Fourballs...?

Think I'll stick to socks :-)

OK, I THINK I have just about covered everything, above? So my work is done.... See y'all on Thursday.

Markus.

The courier has delivered the Prize parcel, a few minutes ago - and having just ogled the beautiful Claret Jug and Medals, let's just say that I may even hit the Driving Range tonight after my Club Medal and get to bed early, this evening!

Splendid effort, IanT!

Mark,

No problem - glad it has arrived safely.

Ian

Markus , been on the range , did not see you . Dont forget to set your alarm clock !

Alarm Clock (SSSSS), Fliper! Medal beckons < an hour and it's sweltering out there atm!

On the tee at 2 in club k/o . bag full of water

Markus

Brilliant job; although I won't say anthing untill all is accomplished! Take care not to be cut in the medal.

Eric

Played at LC this afternoon, driving totally unrecognisable from last week, only missed two fairways all afternoon and the old distance is back :-) Chipping and putting not worth a **** so not much further forward really. However, hope to fine tune during the morning thrash and rip it up in the afternoon.

Markus if you are late, we will start without you. Expect to see you in the afternoon sometime and believe me if you miss the morning tee off time, you will never ever live it down. In fact best you resign your MAM membership now!! :-))
