4 Man Team - Manchester GC 9th October

[davemc1]

Countback - pfft...

Anyway onto the serious matter. Thanks Craig for setting this up. You really shouldn't leave, if for only this one comp a year. Place is a cracker. Also thanks to Davy, Iain and Josh for the round. Some great stuff played by all.

We'll not mention the first hole, But having a rebound of a tree on 2 my game picked up somewhat. Culminating on a glorious par on the 230 odd par 3

Great day was had by all, see yous all here next year!

Just home and well worth the 2hr drive either way, great course and really good day in the company of Dave, Danny and Craig.
Thanks again Craig and will hopefully return the favour anytime you're up here.
Of now to see if Delc wants any help organising a "bigger hole" petition😃

:rofl: You definitely should!

Good to hear your back safe. Catch up soon :thup:

 

[huds1475]

We'll not mention the first hole,

You never had a chance. Three crackers then up last. It's my worst nightmare and happens all the time.

Compounded by playing musical statues over the ball. But I felt your pain there.

Definitely your team-mates fault.

Par on 16 is party time any day :thup:

 

[NWJocko]

Cheers for organising Huds :thup:

As always loved playing up there, really is a cracking course.

Great company with Dave, Dave and Josh and we all played some decent stuff, left a lot of shots on the greens was the story of my day sadly, hope I remember how to swing the driver like I was doing today!!

Good to catch up with everyone, glad the weather and Birchy showed up

Same time next year?

 

[Liverbirdie]

Well done our team, was never in doubt. Well until Birchy turned up and tried to even it out for the other teams.

Not enough magic to trouble the winners podium, but a good laugh, some good golf and always a pleasure to play at Manchester's best course.:thup:

You cant beat a free lunch though.

 

[Lump]

Cheers for letting me jump in on this. Had a cracking day and a great laugh as always.
Course is superb. Not one hole is the same. A real nice variety of holes, dog legs, up and down hill approach shots. A few reachable par5's with good shots. Only one weak hole on the whole course (18th).

 

[Odvan]

Cheers Huds for heads up again, enjoyed both times there now, a challenging place to play.

Had a great crack with Lump, LB and Birchy the latter of whom was just out for some fresh air I think, 2nd year on the bounce I've played that open as a 3 ball now .

My belated commiserations to Pete who hadn't told us of a bereavement, he left us to presume though having worn half-mast pants and light grey socks for the day...

Some good, bad and ugly golf, the latter firmly reserved for Birchy. A disgrace

Course was in great condition and am well up for it next year.

 

[Qwerty]

I think this was the 4th year we've played in this, where does the time the time go.
It wasn't the best of starts,pulled the bag out on the car park looking into the dividers with a sinking feeling knowing full well my putter was stuffed behind the sofa at home :angry:


Another great day up there though, good to see the Wolfman (not seen him in ages). Good to meet Paul and thanks a lot for sorting the day Craig. Its hard to fault Manchester GC, I think it flys under the radar a bit but I love it.. not a weak hole
On the course.

Same again next year fellas :cheers:

Sounds like a good day, I love playing Manchester.

Me too, and a good day just got better.

We finished in 3rd.

1. 87 - we got that score when we won about 3 years ago.

2. 82 - If Birchy would have turned up.......

3. 81 - Best of the 3 teams on countback (lovely way to decide a golf game).

4. 81 -

5 - 81 -

I'll fill in numbers 4 and 5 in due course, one of them was Jocko's team...........

How the hell did we get 3rd

 

[Liverbirdie]

How the hell did we get 3rd

Well you got about 3 of them.

 

[Birchy]

Well you got about 3 of them.

All 3 of them vital

Good job I didn't play well, could have been a stewards enquiry :rofl:

If it comes down to count-back on the last 6 or so, we'll have had it as we had 6-pointers on 10 & 11.... :fore:

Good to see we had 2 teams in the running for prizes :whoo:.... & great to catch-up with you guys again on such a good course in great condition.... marvellous day Craig & many thanks for setting it up & managing entries.
See loads of you again in a couple of weeks at H4H..... & see if one of us can take the Trophy North :thup: :thup:

Well played guys. Don't forget that I won 6 balls though. A lovely 2 on the stupidly long par 3. Some would say that this was actually more impressive than coming third in that dodgy, bandit friendly format

Congrats again Wolfie, it was one of the best eagles I've ever seen

Well done mate, we also had someone hit the green in one, although he still managed to not get on the card for that hole.........(he said you were better being above the hole.....didn't work out that way).
