Weekend golf will be more tricky to organise this weekend due to the fact that Burhill is hosting the Europro Open from Thursday on the New Course. Highlights will be on Sky TV in August and I shall post times here. For anyone interested, Leaderboard is here.
On the Sunday, there is also the August Medal on the Old in the morning.
I am unavailable on the Saturday as am going to Edgbaston Test; Colin back from his hols on Sunday, so he and I planning to play in the Medal.
kathryn and I played 9 holes last night: when we got to the club there was a group on the 5th Old, involving 5 buggies with lots of people, led by Mike from the pro shop. By the time we got to the 8th, they were just completing the 9th... manically slow and still lots of people, most apparently from the Indian subcontinent.
ReplyDeleteOn the terrace afterwards, I questioned Mike as to what on earth was going on: apparently, the whole circus was to allow ex-President of Pakistan, General Musharraf, to play a few holes.
The entourage consisted not only of his own security personnel but also two Special Branch officers were also in attendance.
As Mike said, the golf they were playing was "awful"...
Anybody for golf this friday(tommorow) for 9 holes commencing 6 pm?

Already playing in the Twilight Golf this evening: you could probably join but would need a partner in a skirt...
ReplyDeleteDear All
ReplyDeleteGood lucjk with golf plans this wekend. We're off tommorow morning and back late next saturday night. Available for golf sunday am or PM!
Have fun... very jealous: I could do with the sun on my back!
ReplyDeleteWell, that trip to Edgbaston was, in every sense of the words, a washout. We saw not a ball bowled and drove the 2+ hrs home through some of the worst rain we've ever seen.... welcome to the British summer!
ReplyDeleteAny interest in a Friday afternoon/early evening session ? I am around, as I am delivering the war dept. to Heathrow in the morning, where she goes off to Canada for a week...
ReplyDeleteMark - if I can change a meeting in London on Friday PM to AM, I should be OK. Better still - might try and cancel it entirely. I'll let you know - early evening would be best.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent..just let me know when you want to start...
ReplyDeleteFor anyone interested in seeing Burhill on the box, set your Sky+ for:
ReplyDeleteWed, 12th August, 9am Sky Sports 2

ReplyDeleteWe have the Burhill EuroPro event on Sky+ at home if anyone interested: really fun to see your home course on the box. Let me know!
ReplyDeleteAnyone up for this evening/late afternoon ?
ReplyDeleteAnd any weekend plans ? With the wicked witch of the North still in Canada, I am totally committed to golf...
Mark - you're on the wrong week. :-) There's a father's and son's thing on Sunday (16th) which I won't be invoved in, but there are also Sat morning plans. Check out this post: http://jamieleecurtiscup.blogspot.com/2009/08/weekend-golf-1516th-august.html
