BE Golfers...
 

Saudiflares had a great shout in another thread. How about a BE round?

Who on here (Ladies or Gents) plays golf?

Who would be interested in 9 or 18 holes as a group?

If you do play, your accurate or (like me) realistic handicap.

Re: BE Golfers...
 

A swing at the Ranches may have a different meaning to some posters...

but I'd be up for a BE game

Handicap 16

Re: BE Golfers...
 

Hahaha, so true.

One person in then...

Re: BE Golfers...
 

I play----ed before my back operation and was down to a very respectable 18 on my good days but I think 20 is a more reasonable number.

I would love to play 9 but I think I am not allowed atleast for another year.

Btw how expensive courses are here for non-members for a round of 9 lets say?
And how kitted up you need to be? i.e. what if one doesnt have clubs, do they rent it out for a round etc?

Re: BE Golfers...
 

This is a copy of my geek spreadsheet:

Course Weekend Rate
Al Badia 895
Els Club 585 (res)
Emirates - Faldo 695 / 425 after 4 / 4ball 1275 (318) resi night golf / 255 9 holes (night)
Emirates - Majlis 995
Creek 750
Monty 825
Arabian Ranches 615
Meydan 9 Hole 495 (18?)
Jebel Ali 9 Hole 245 - 9 holes
JGE Fire 795
JGE Earth 895


Can rent clubs, varies at each venue but think at Jumeirah Golf Estates my mate paid about 140?

Re: BE Golfers...
 

Obviously I'm in and as long as the numbers are reasonable am willing to book it at JGE if people are interested... (that's book, noy pay :p)

9 or 18 - Whatever the consenus is although if you're going to go to the agg of playing may as well do 18....

Accurate handicap - 14.1 realistic handicap right now nearer 18.... For JGE Earth the slope rating means its playing about 4 shots higher that your handicap ie take your handicap add the 4 shots and that's where you should be scoring....

Re: BE Golfers...
 

Crikey, you're right. Lots of holes are uphill. Bastards.

I agree with 18 over 9, but we can go with the general consensus.

JGE makes sense as you're a member = we all get it cheaper and you don't have to pay.

Re: BE Golfers...
 

Ok, lets give it a day or so to see if anyone else fancies a hack and go from there.....

Provisionally; 18 holes, Earth, weekend, mid Jan?

Re: BE Golfers...
 

Provisionally; YES.

Re: BE Golfers...
 

how much is 18 holes? I don't play but husband is interested as long as it isn't extortionate

Re: BE Golfers...
 

595 I think as a guest of a member (Welivehere)

Re: BE Golfers...
 

ok will check with him later and get back to you :thumbsup:

Re: BE Golfers...
 

It is extortionate for a round (I think) but normally it's 895 at a weeked I think...so VFM makes me want to play it.

PLUS, it's the course that I've seen Luke Donald on so I want to play!

Re: BE Golfers...
 

husband played it last week for free, by way of being a marshall at the golf, he enjoyed it. You are right it is a total rip off but if that's the price then you got to pay it.

Re: BE Golfers...
 

Yep. Indeed.

Other option is the Faldo Night Golf - Resident rate is 1275 for a fourball (318 each) which is a good deal and I'm playing there tonight.
