This looks like a cracking course and could be good fun.  Anyone from TSG interested in going for it? (either the Pro-Am or the Celebrity game)

Probably out of my league - these pro-am, celeb type days often have hcap limit, waaaaay below mine!!  Anyway - I'm shaking tins at the public outside Sainsburys for the RAFA Wings Appeal the whole week - blimey I know how to live.

As per the individual message you will all have received - Our friend Ian Halliwell (The Social Golfer), organiser of the MRC Pro-Am (11th Sept) & the MRC Celebrity Team Event (12th Sept) - both in support of The Stroke Association - has made a fantastic offer to members of TheSocialGolfer.com to join him at Carden Park, Cheshire on either the Pro Am or the Celebrity Golf Challenge FOR FREE !!:

I can't make this which is a massive shame because I'd have loved to be playing in the Pro Am.

Only one place left in the 4 ball, better ball Celebrity Golf Day at the fantastic Carden Park Golf Club, Cheshire (event in aid of The Stroke Association)

This is a FREE PLACE offered by our friend Ian Halliwell (the other 'Social Golfer')

The rest of the team will be Stephen Locke & Graham Hurrell (both TSG members) plus a celebrity from TV or Sport (hopefully one good at golf !) . 

Get in quick for the last FREE PLACE by sending me a system message (to TheSocialGolfer member account)
