Beau Desert Draw & Info

[Region3]

Re: Beau Desert Draw & Info

For anyone who's not played there before and looking at it on the website, it's a lot hillier than it looks.

For example, the 1st hole on the website looks flat, but I'd say the green was about 50' above the tee!

The 18th also, from the fairway bunkers the green is quite a way below you. It's a great hole and if you can get near the bunkers with your drive you have a choice of whether or not to go for the 200yd carry over heather and rough to the green. The rest of the hole stretches out in front of and below you with the clubhouse at the back of the huge green.

I just had a look at my scorecard from last year to refresh my memory and half of me wishes I didn't keep the stats
I shot 95 (off 10), including 42 putts. I only hit 5 fairways and parred 4 of those.

Can't wait for some revenge! Maybe.

Considering the same treatment myself. But just because I want to and I'm a fanboy, not because I need to

Hope it goes well.

I'd say so.

Yes, I know it's technically illegal.
Yes, I know they're not officially allowed in comps.
Yes, I think you should be allowed to use it for the Beau meet.
No, I don't think we should start kicking the ball out of the rough as well.

Anyone seriously seriously object?

No objections from me. But I will be reporting him if I catch him using the Compass app for whatever the compass app does.

Android users are fine as there's no built in (non-deletable) compass.

I shall have mine loaded on my phone, but I doubt it will last 36 holes. hopefully someone I'm playing with will have a GPS/Rangefinder just incase.

Re: Beau Desert Draw & Info

well as an ex squaddie I can read a compass, if it is used its only to find my way out of the wilderness after a monster tee shot with a hint of slice

Menu Choices

I've just been informed that we need to make food choices, and make them fast!

Can everyone going please reply giving their preference (if any).

We have this choice as a group, so unfortunately I've got to go with the majority even if it means some people might not like it.

Main
[*]Steak & Kidney Pie
[*]Chicken & Mushroom Pie
[*]Braised Steak in Red Wine Sauce
[*]Port Steak in White Wine & Chive Sauce

Desserts
[*]Bread & Butter Pudding
[*]Apple Crumble
[*]Sherry Trifle

Please also check back here once the food is decided upon.
I have more news but the food is the urgent one so I want to get that out of the way first.

Re: Menu Choices

Braised Steak and Apple Crumble for me please Come to think of it any of it I'm not fussy

 

[Aztecs27]

Re: Menu Choices

Braised steak and Apple Crumble here for me too.

Only thing I'm not massively keen on is S&K pie, but I'll eat it if that's what's decided as I'm not that arsed.

[Whereditgo]

Re: Menu Choices

Braised Steak and apple pie preferred, but will eat anything except that baby food (bread and butter pudding - nasty!)

[jammydodger]

Re: Menu Choices
