Right where to start… Turned up a hour early on Saturday to get in the swing of things for a round at 11am, as I was told my name was down with a friends 4 ball as one guy is not turning up on a regular basis and I am looking for a regular 4 ball team. All good so far popped to the pro shop with the adrenalin starting to pump and heard the dreaded whispers "there's five of us" so I popped into the shop to check the names down and I wasn’t down :( walked out the shop to "discuss" the issue, this fella who was meant to be my mate half heartily offers his place in his 4 ball which I turned down due to half hearted attempt and said I would practice and stomped off with a red face and lots of anger. The worst thing was that it was Rabbits captain's day and I had a slot of 0752 which I cancelled because this fella said he had already put my name down grrr

Anyway he got pulled by loads of people who heard him last weekend promise me a game in his 4 ball and I have learnt a lesson. The good news is that though I didn’t get a game on Saturday but HID bought me some new golf trousers and by this time really couldn’t be bothered or wanted to be out a full day Sunday so I played a round (oo matron) with the wife, the best bit is the comp sec said HID could mark my card as a member!!! Bonus round to enter the Rabbits Qual the only exception was the rain that started for the full 18 and I lost 3 balls and ended with a net 69 (hcp 23) & gross 92 for you net haters ;)

Lessons leant this weekend: 1) always put your own name down on games 2) HID can mark my cards 3) pack waterproofs when its going to rain.

Must add thanks to all who recommended the FJ Rain glove, totally fantastic glove.
 
True Keef sorry to hear it. The tee's at Roundhay are looking a tad rough but least the greens where checking after the rain and didnt bounce off the back.
 
All was not lost though.....at least you got a game this weekend! Muggins here had to babysit the bin lids and had to make do with dragging them to the range yesterday :( lol

Surely if there your kids thats not babysitting, thats called parenting
 
Well if Hull lose 3-0 & Toon lose and we beat West Ham 2-0 then we will be staying up :)

Good to see you havn't given up, If you do go down you will be straight back up anyway and I am sure youll cash in on Downing great player but injured to often. As an Arsenal fan I do feel a little responsible selling you Hoyte and Alliadiare was just mean.
 
Good on the missus for marking your card but I'd be having serious words with the guy. We normally have a regular 4 for competitions that are roll ups (normally stableford or two rounds over three days on bank holidays) but every now and again a fifth muscles in. I've said I don't mind if there is notice and I'd happily find another game but it hacks me off when you are on the 1st and find you are now a 2ball and therefore can't go out in the competition (must be 3 and 4 balls). I think they've grasped my frustration and I'm always in the 3
