Blackmoor Friday 23rd December

[Swinger]

My money is on swinger. He only ever plays the first 14 holes.

Richard was telling me all the way round how beautiful the last 4 holes were so I just thought I'd walk them so I could drink in the scenery. In fairness he did the same and they did look cracking.

I still think he could have beaten me on the day but he chickened out of the shot from the other side of the underpass.

Rest assured I won't be letting the host talk me out of anything on the last! You taught me a good lesson that day!

 

[Swinger]

He will be ok for 18 holes, he is banned from the bar !

Banned from the bar??
Is that buying the drinks or consuming them too?

Even if it does warm up like you suggest it might Richard I think it will be far short of the record temps set at Camberley that day!

 

[SyR]

Same place at 10am Simon ??

Sounds good mate.

A strategic move which resulted in txl having to buy the drinks.

 

[JustOne]

OMG!! Is there a forumer good enough to take Smiffy's place????

 

[USER1999]

Yes, but I will be at work. And on here.

I was hoping my day was going to be clear so I could see of I could tag along a bit lastminute.com.

I seem to have been scheduled some appointments though so not looking good, but enjoy the game chaps.

If you can make at the last minute you are more than welcome .

Paul unfortunately Smiffy can't play as he has been dragged shopping ! Shame you can't play, but at least we can play the 18th in peace. Have a good Xmas, and look forward to a game in the new year.

Just one of them things rich, no doubt you and the others will still have a good'en

 

[JustOne]

Are we up to 8 for tomorrow yet?



Surely there's a few forumers who'd like to see Swinger hitting 350yds?

 

[richart]

Still got a couple of places, otherwise we will have to be known as the Blackmoor 6

 

[TXL]

Hope you guys managed to get completed before the heavens opened. I just got home and the rain was of biblical proportions.

No. Swam home.

 

[sawtooth]

Got to about the 16th and it really pelted it down and with gale force winds. Me , Swinger and Therod played the last 2 holes but the others behind (ahem) walked in.

It was good to catch up with you all and thanks for organising Richard.

 

[SyR]

I really enjoyed the first 16 holes despite some dubious play by me at times. The on-off drizzle was manageable and the course was in lovely condition. The driving sleet and rain that hit while we were in the open on the 16th fairway (well in the left heather actually) was epic. We therefore decided to call it a day and seek shelter and warmth in the clubhouse.
Thanks to all for the great company, Rich for hosting and Nick for giving me a lift. Shame about the weather at the end but it was still better than xmas shopping or wrapping presents!

 

[JustOne]

Enjoyed the round, it's always a laugh playing with fellow forumers (Steve your mate was a nice fella), shame we were held up several times by a slow 3-ball in front <GRIN>,... they should have called us through and we'd have gotten finished. Thought I was going to die on the 16th when the real stuff came down... it was literally painful... Richart seemed to quite enjoy it


Can't say I remember being quite as cold since...well EVER actually

Can't believe you guys actually played the 18th, I'd take my hat off to you if I had one :angry:

Have a good Chrimbo guys... same next year???
