HNY + 2012 golf breaks

From http://bsvgolf.blogspot.com/

Yes, it's a Happy New Year to all my regular readers - and welcome to the 2012 blog.

I wouldn't like anyone to get the impression that we're desperate for numbers on some of our outings - we're not - but I think it's only fair that everyone is aware of what's going on and gets an equal opportunity to participate in any of the events they fancy.

My last blog posting pre-Christmas listed the dates and locations of all the main events in 2012, and I've also since posted details of this year's slightly later Desert Classic in Turkey. For those that have never been away with the group, the gentlest introduction, given that it's only one night away, is the Grantown/Boat of Garten trip on Sunday/Monday 13th/14th May, 2012. This is being organised by last September's winner, Malcolm Grigor, and if you'd like to join us, or would like further details, contact Malcolm at malcolmgrigor@gmail.com


One other relatively short trip we do is the Summer Tour, and this year we're visiting a part of the country we've never golfed in before - Dumfries and Galloway. We drive down there on Saturday 7th July and play the Classic Southerness (http://www.southernessgolfclub.com/homepage.html) course in the afternoon.

We stay 2 nights at the Cairndale Hotel (http://www.cairndalehotel.co.uk/) and play Dumfries & County (http://www.thecounty.org.uk/) on Sunday and Powfoot (http://www.powfootgolfclub.com/) on Monday morning, then drive home. Our Southern former colleagues - John Davies, Bob Cooper and John Taylor - are all heading North and will be joining us on this trip. Let me know asap if you would like to join us too.
