Blackmoor Friday 23rd December

[Smiffy]

Shame about the weather at the end but it was still better than xmas shopping or wrapping presents!

I bet it wasn't

 

[Oddsocks]

Even though it sounded like mother nature was the true winner I'm still gutted I missed out!

 

[Smiffy]

We had a bloody monsoon down here yesterday afternoon. Not seen rain like it in ages. I thought of you lads out there. And then I got a call from James...........

 

[Oddsocks]

Did you laugh tho smiffy

 

[Smiffy]

Did you laugh tho smiffy

I didn't laugh...but I sighed a sigh of relief that I hadn't driven the 2 hours to get there

 

[Oddsocks]

True....... But still gutted I didn't play

It character building. I was all for walking in but there was a look of madness in Swingers eyes when he said he wanted to play 17 + 18. He didn't look like a man to argue with.

Cheers for the game Steve & Sean, and cheers Rich for having us. I really enjoyed the course despite the light rain. At least I got to test out my rain gloves !!

 

[richart]

I really enjoyed the day guys, and good to meet up again. The sight of James drying his arse with the hand dryer is something that will no doubt give me nightmares. I have put the date in my diary for next year ! First time I have ever seen the 18th green flooded, so that was some down pour at the end.

It was also nice that my score after 15 holes was good enough to beat Swingers after 18.:whoo:If anyone wants any tips about playing in the rain let me know. I notice the others forgot to say who won.

 

[User20205]

Oh yeah, Rich came in with a winning score of 32 points after 15 holes to disprove the theory that he can't win around his own track. :clap:

The rumour is that he only came in because he couldn't play on as his glasses steamed up !!

Well done Richard I think the scoring ended something like this with you nicking it by a point.

Richart 32pts
Swinger 31pts
Therod 30pts
Sawtooth 30pts

Not sure about the rest........

Considering we couldnt hold onto our clubs from about the 14th onwards (apart from therod with his rain gloves that is) the scoring wasnt all that bad.

I took some snaps whilst stood on the 17th tee but they came out very small will post them later if I can.

 

[richart]

I was all for carrying on, but we felt sorry for James as he didn't have any waterproof trousers. My Proquips kept me perfectly dry and warm.

 

[richart]

It was so dark when you were playing the 17th Sean, the only think I could see was Swingers yellow ball.

 

[Smiffy]

They are some crap scores. I reckon I would have won had I been able to attend

You can laugh! With my new swing and the Cobra's firing on all four, you wouldn't have stood a chance. I reckon I would have been good for a 39 pointer with a couple of blobs. Wonkers, the lot of you

You'd have been stuffed unless you've recently got windscreen wipers on your glasses. :fore:

 

[JustOne]

I'm still cold!





Smiffy you'd have been blubbing like a girl by the 5th hole... it was best that you stayed home wrapping Chrimbo pressies, 14pts wouldn't have gotten you amongst the prizes :ears:

 

[richart]

It was real men out there yesterday Smiffy, not fancy dans.:ears:

I bet you were as jealous as feck weren't you Gladys???

 

[USER1999]

I played my course. With a combination of horrid conditions and a shockingly bad swing, I managed 7 points, 5 lost balls, over 13 holes.

I wasn't much better today really.
