A Number Of Firsts

[PhilTheFragger]

Despite the weather forecast, went out with Little Chubby Brother (Imurg) today

They said that the weather was going to be clearing about late morning, so at 10, Bro texts to say that its definately stopping, so I head on over and we Tee off about 11, its still drizzling, but nothing too bad.

After a couple of holes, the rain stops and although squelchy underfoot, its not too bad out there and we both play some decent stuff, for 19 points each on the front 9, Imurgs putter was on fire as he birdied the 9th and was sinking 10 footers all over the place, which was a good job as his FIR & GIR stats were awful

It started to rain a bit on the 11th, got heavier and by the 14th it was blowing a houlie, torrential horizontal rain and it was as dark as a really dark place, eventually we walked in, the Greens were flooding and it was silly.

First time I have ever walked in

The 2nd First....... I parred all the par 3's never done that before

We called it an Honourable Draw

Because the weather looked to be clearing up, i left my water proofs in the car, so had to change into those before driving home "commando". (Another First)

Just thought I would share :thup:

Get over to Out of Bounds and your commando experience will go down a treat :thup:

I didn't even venture out to the range although skies clearing now it's dark!

I was going to have meatballs for tea, you have ruined that for me mate thanks

 

[fundy]

Utterly amazed you went out today and as much so that the course is open. Just done an hours kettlebell session in the rain and that was bad enough, have written golf off for the week here (you AP boys clearly built of sturdier stuff than those of us from AV lol)

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Hope your dinner sorts itself out Midnight

When we started, the greens were clear and only the odd bit of standing water on a few of the fairways, the drainage ditches were working overtime,

When we called it a day, the greens were flooding and there was so much standing water you could have sailed the QE2 up the 3rd

Still hoping to get out Friday,

Be interested to know if you get out Friday.

Got my first round in 5 weeks coming up on Saturday. Will not be pleased if the rain calls a halt to it.

 

[Imurg]

Should be ok by then Chris..the 6th will be very soft and don't be short on the 10th or 14th..
Was going out tomorrow but it's going to be so wet underfoot I'm not bothering.
Friday should ok - I hope. No rain due for a while..

Watch out next week - it's getting cold!

Don;t blame you for walking in Phil. It was absolute rank this afternoon, I was doing a multi span wire renewal at a farm near Barton-le-clay, I could barely get my ladders up due to the wind, couldn't feel my fingers after the 2nd span and was almost at the point of saying balls to it and going home, only pure Northern grit saw me through.

Now sat in my boxers & socks typing this with the heating on full and a big mug of coffee.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Gibbo, You are going to put Midnight off his dinner even more

Are the socks steaming?

Fragger

 

[G1BB0]

nah I put them on when I got in, big thick ones so my toes are nice and toasty. I am now adorning a dressing gown so Midnight can eat his dinner with a more palatable mental image

Would be surprised if we were even open today. By the time I hit the range at 6.00 the wind had died right down and the rain had stopped so happy days.
