It'll be likely the week of spring bank holiday so was thinking we play the bank holiday Monday at my place then Pennard and one other, Clyne if you like, on the Tuesday Wednesday. Reasoning behind that is I can use county cards and so they'd half price and the courses would be roofed over the bank holiday weekend then a lull in the week.

Was thinking Machynys as an option or one of the other proper links in the area.

That should be fine. The mrs's birthday is may 10th. So may be in Amsterdam that weekend or the one after.

Can you sign me in on your county card? I can take time off so it's no bother. If you can't sign me in I will investigate which courses I can get discounts at.
 
Sorry Ruff, that sucks. :(

My longtime girlfriend's (almost pains me to write that) family all live in New York. So my family wins out every time. For Christmas we're having the usual party for all of our friends the Sunday before Christmas. On Christmas the whole family meets up a my parents for an early prime rib dinner and drinking.

The day after Christmas ill be flying up to Lake Tahoe for a ski trip. <diva>

It's very popular place, as far as Ski weather goes it probably one of the best areas in the world. It doesn't get unbearably cold, and it's often sunny after a big storm. Three resorts have been bought out by the company that owns Vail, which is one of the nicest ski resorts in the world. So they've been upgrading/renovating the resorts to make them 5 star resorts.

I should be able to borrow another county card.
Even if I can't though I would get the discount rate at my club and go halves with you.
Pennard do good deals booked online anyway and Machynys aren't on county card rota, although they do good deals including food and such like. No problem though, I'll get us cheaper golf.
 
Sounds a plan.
To be firmed up once this holiday of theirs gets booked and sorted.

I will also book December 11th off once this bridge opening is definite.
 
Ok, favourite Christmas tune to hum along and keep you warm going into December?

Here's a <cracker> from the archives;

Bump you miserable bastards.

Time to get festive.

Works do tonight, no doubt loads of sad pissed people dancing badly to crap tunes. Over cooked food a must.
 
At first I thought it was her and her Mum. Then when I realised it was all of them bar me I kind of got a bit offended!

Having thought about it, I'm still pissed off. Quite rightly too.
Had they said come along and pay my own way I would have said no it's ok, you lot go ahead. It's just the no invite whatsoever that's really grating with me.

Caused a massive barney as my first reaction was 'don't expect me to stay at home minding their ****ing dogs' and it kind of kicked off from there.

Truth is, I'm more than happy for her to go, really I am. I do not want to go on a holiday with her parents but as they're taking my kids with them I would have at least expected a token invite.

Kill them all <ok>

That sounds like a national Lampoon script <doh>
 
Mine appears to have started early. I've had truly horrific ass gas since Friday night. I'm not even sure what has triggered this joyous seasonal event.

I tried Dutch ovening the mrs on Friday it was so bad, she retched <laugh>

Then it's just carried on pumping out hot gas. Had some sprouts Saturday which seem to have maintained propulsion.

So on this delightful anecdote who else is looking forward to pumping their ass gas on their guests over the festive period.
