Forum Golfing Day

[Big Johnny69]

I might as well get this out of the way before anything else. Without confering with my fellow commitee members I will go out on a limb and post this.

If we were to have a golf day for members of the forum, which day would you like to have it on? Please select from the poll.

[Law]

Can I choose "E" all of the above would work?

[Indio]

Can I choose "E" all of the above would work?

Actually, I thought the same..... I would pick 'any day'

[challengegolf]

For me also all days are good but keep in mind that if we happen to choose Hylands as the club, they are open to outside tourny only on Mondays and Fridays.

If you are looking for a higher turn out, remember that a day during the week is going to really limit a lot of players who can make it. Also, you run the risk of last minute meetings and other job related stuff to factor in.

[Big Johnny69]

I figured most people would not want to book time off work for a "fun" day of golf. As for the Mon and Fri choices, if when it comes time to vote on courses and Hylands is chosen, if we have enough votes for Mon or Fri we can have the tourney there then.

[NoBack]

I'm ok for any day that ends in .....day

Also to note .....................

Weekends are usually harder to get tee times for tournaments. If they do have them, tee times generally start at noon or 1 pm which is good if you have a dinner. Bad news is more $$$

[little brit]

Any day for me. I usually golf weekdays as they are quieter. But booking a tournament would be diff of course.

[Kilroy]

Any day, but most NCGTour members will be unavailable several of the Sundays. (see schedule)

[Chieflongtee]

Saturday would be best for me. You could as well make it a swap day in which the Saint might be very interested in participating in Swap in the morning play in the afternoon.

Dont forget about Intersectionals (first sunday in july) all the club tournaments you and the rest of your committee will be playing, OVGA field days, National Capital Tour events (see schedule on our site), Holidays and long weekends when booking.

[Colby]

You could always combine it with an NCGT event... Those on the Tour would still score for points, those that aren't would be playing for fun.

[1972Apex]

Pick the day, I'll be there...

[sharkhark]

I would prefer a Weekend, but would be flexible to try and put a face to all the members on here who have given me great advice.
(however coming from Kingston may need a couch to crash on).

Will attend whatever day it is, with notice.
Cheers, Shark

[challengegolf]

Shark you can crash on my couch for that as my wife will be gone to military training for the next 10 months, so lots of room.
Thanks
Claude

[jonf]

I don't know yet whether I'll be in Ottawa for the summer, but if I am, I'd like to get out and meet some of the people I argue with on here. A weekend would be preferable, but as I said, I may not even be in town

Thanks for the offer, I think we will all be suprised at how fast spring comes upon us and we'll be playing this event. We'll all talk more when things get closer.
Cheers Claude, Craig

[Gropper]

I too would like the chance to meet people from the board, to bad you are gonna see how bad i really am at this game, But i'm really good at drinking afterwards!

As for the day i would say friday as i am off every second one but i don;t mind taking a weekday off !

[NoBack]

But i'm really good at drinking afterwards! !

Why wait till after? The really good drinkers can drink WHILE we play.

No wonder your in the low 90's already...... sounds like you spend all your time on the bloody golf course!

[Indio]

Hey, anyone can crash on my couch that needs a place, but only if I am not using it (I tend to get on my lovely wife's bad side occasionally and find myself curled up with the cats down there!)

I know, hard to believe but Ho hum, it dies happen....

[TA 845]

I'll go any day, any time just as long as I don't have to wear my "alias" on my back. I wouldn't want OGN or Bucky in the foresome behind me waiting for sweet revenge for all the nast comments made towards them latley!

[Law]

Usually win-win too. The alcohol relaxes you and you play better, or you just stop caring how poorly you play

[ironmaster15213]

I would perfer a Sunday but any day would do for me except the following Sundays, April 30, May 21, June 4 and 25. I would definitely have to take days off cause of the travel time involved. (10 hours each way) May have to tell me of a motel or something close to the chosen course so that I could sleep a couple of hours. Thanks, Frank

[Sakuraba]

If you get a member to drive all the way from Pittsburgh, that's incredible.

[jvincent]

Saturday lines up with my pre-approved golfing day, so that's best for me.

If another day is chosen I could likely make that too pending job, etc.

'pre-approved' ????

[Golfpeasant]

'pre-approved' ????

IE: his wife.

[jvincent]

It's all about negotiations when you have two kids.

It's better now that they are older, but I first negotiated a standing Saturday golf day when they were smaller and mommy time alone on the weekends was not a good thing.

Oh believe me, I caught the meaning of his response! LOL
