As I don't have a handicap, does that mean I start off with 27?

Drinks (and lots of them) will probably be happening on Saturday night at a venue to be decided.

p.s. I am REALLY disappointed that there hasn't been more interest shown in the day!

No worries.

So how many confirmed starters now? If we need one more to make up a group, let me know. I have a guaranteed replacement starter.

Nige,

I think we have 4 confirmed starters and 1 tentative starter...

I have it on good authority that Kinselas Hotel will be available for the aformentioned consumption of alcohol...

We can fly Marty up because if he can't play golf at least he can drive the tug towing 1 tonne of sand to repair all the divots we'll leave behind! 9 holes, average par 4, I'll go five over a hole, that's 9 divots per hole, multiplied by 9 holes, that's 81 divots, multiplied by five players, that's 405 divots, needed on average, say 300 grammes of sand per hole to fill, so 405 x .3 equals 121.5..........Geeeeeezzzus.......coincidence .............or not? 121.5...the international distress frequency equals exactly the number of kilograms of sand to fill the divots. We're all going to die....AAAAAHHHHHHhhhhhh.................

I'm interested ... I just don't play golf and I'm too far away.

If I hit a golf ball you would have to issue a NOTAM warning of uncontrolled flying objects in controlled airspace.

Nige is arranging for that very NOTAM to be in place on Sunday... Too far away? Too far away? Ridiculous... Such an excuse...
