Apologies for starting yet another "Forest Pines" thread....

I got up at 5, how sad is that? Jet lag probably doesn't help. Only another two hours and I can leave. Car all packed. Was thinking about going out and washing it. Got zip all else to do. The alternative is tro hit the practice ground down my club.

There's a range at FP you can use. I'll be there early

P.s. It's dry as a bone here and not a breath of wind.

1 hour before I leave (if the babysitters/in-laws turn up on time and the missis can tear herself away). Smiffy just phoned me he has the rooms sorted out, he has managed to book an extra double....


Bless him

More bad news. Just got home, and am getting eaten alive. Cat has fleas. It just gets worse.

Vig, you've got about 17 hours to get your putter hot. I suggest putting at a mug down the hall way. Just get Smiffy to stand there.

It's been in the oven all night.
Smiffy wouldn't be in my hall long, the dog would see to that.

 

[vig]

FFS! I think hes gone to bed.... what do i do now??

Don't worry.
It will be OK.
See ya there at 11.00.
I'm sorry for the confusion but TWO GUYS WIVES PULLED OUT of coming fairly late and I cocked the numbers up. But it'll sort itself out I'll phone the hotel on the way up this morning. They've got plenty of rooms so it's just a case of switching one about.
Once again, sorry about the confusion
Rob

That makes a refreshing change, it's normally the bloke that pulls out

[Region3]

What a fantastic weekend, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, even the 5 that we were being pelted by hailstones this morning

I'd like to thank everyone for making it such an enjoyable weekend, especially Hywel ,Brian, Alan, Rick, Dhan and Nick for their good company over the 2 rounds.
Also a massive thanks to Smiffy for organising it. I know there were headaches along the way but it all turned out reet in the end Thank you.

The course was great. Fairways like carpets for the most part, and greens that were as flat as a choppy sea! Some said they were a little slow, but it was about what I'm used to.

There were tee shots that needed to be moved both ways (not at the same time) or at least to have the sense to hit shorter before the fairway ran out.

As you might expect with courses called Forest, Pines, and Beeches, if you missed the fairway there was about 5 yards of first cut rough before you were in 60' trees. More than once we heard pinball being played and the following shot from further than before.

I'll leave the rather smug feeling captain of the opposition to fill in the details of the match.

Sorry guys and gals, we tried

 

[Timberbonce]

Yeah great weekend.. And i've still got a stonking headache.

fantastic course, fantastic company, shame about the result

Maybe next year.

[Leftie]

Thanks Smiffy for organising a great weekend - just a shame about the result.

And thanks to GM Captain Rickg. How we lost after those team talks, I'll never know. Must do better next year. Hopefully, Golf Magic will actually put up a full team and not need ringers to be brought (or should that read bought) in.


Me? Bitter? Nah!

Enjoyed it? Yeh!

 

[USER1999]

Great weekend, so thanks to Smiffy (or should that be Smufter?) for organising it.
