Blackmoor Wednesday 17th September

[pokerjoke]

What a great day at a lovely golf course.
To be honest it doesn't get much better.
Thanks to Rich for the opportunity.

Partnered Fish and played with Liverpool Phil and Wookie.
All three were great company and we had some laughs and also played some good golf.
Thx to Robins putting on the back 9[started on the 10th] we turned with 22 points to Phils and Simons 18.
A massive turnaround on the front where we finished on 41 to Phil and Simons 42.
As we were paired with Gordon and Steve who had 43 points we were overall winners by 4 shots.
Walked away with a £55 jumper which I exchanged for a pair of trousers.
A pleasure to play the course and the company was first class,cant wait till the end of the month
to do it all again.

Thanks to Richart for the invitation. I partnered the legend that is Smiffy with Murphthemog and Leftie were our partners with an interesting twist - we didn't get to play as a fourball they teed off the 10th while we went off the first with a different pair, the pair betterball scores added at the end . A good idea I thought!

Any way , Rob and I got 40 points off 3/4 handicap and played pretty reasonable I thought. Rob is always good value and today was no exception although I sadly have to report behaviour that we know the forum will be disgusted by - after a bad shot, he threw, yes threw, his jumper - unbelievable!

The course and lunch were lovely, and worth the surprisingly easy trip round the M25, and it was great to meet up with the usual suspects and, for the first time with Liverpool Phil, although I expect he'll disagree for a few pages!

18 holes and Smiffy didn't call me a knob! Golf just doesn't get better than that!

Thanks all

A great day was had at Blackmoor today, it's a lovely golf course and well worth the 05.30hrs start!

Thanks again to Rich for the invite :thup:

I partnered Tony and we played with Liverpool Phil and Wookie. I'd played with Phil and Simon before, and not that well, so it was nice to get a decent round under my belt and support my partner.

We started on the 10th and I was the only one in our 4-ball not to take a provisional were they all nervous :mmm: Anyway, a double bogey for me got us on the card for a point and then I just had a great front 9 with a 5 over gross on the turn for 21 points off 3/4's

We had some good fun amongst us, the company was second-to-none and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, thank you guys :thup:

I fell off the pace a little on the front 9 but Tony was solid and I only had to come in when necessary, which wasn't very often but a nice par on the 9th just missing the birdie putt was a nice way to finish

Really pleased with my Glenmuir sleeveless (Blackmoor) jumper, the club is obviously a favourite of mine as that's 2 visits in 2yrs with 2 wins so I'll wear it with pride

Well done to Gordon & Steve who's 43 points added to our 41 for a consolidated 84 points got some gasps as it was announced as we were clear winners :clap:

B-Team, your having a larf :whoo:

No I won't

Don't worry I heard Smiffy calling you a nob when you weren't listening

Pleasure to meet you at last and looking forward to another chin wag on H4H day :thup:

A birdie on the last would have been very fitting for a nice draw between our little game - but me and Simon will take the victory

Some cracking golf from you today - red hot putter at one stage

Had a quick recap over my back 9 ( the front 9 ) and I was 1 under gross for 22 points so was really chuffed

Just need to get rid of those two bad holes I keep having

See you in a couple weeks :thup:

 

[wookie]

Echoing the above really - what a cracking day out and all for £40. Thanks for sorting it Rich.

Great company and good golf at points from all of us made for an enjoyable round although if anyone spots my long game anywhere then please return it to me.

I see you're down for playing with a GM staffer now Phil - can't think what bought that on and hope you are paying handsomely for the privilege

The 'official' winning photo with the Blackmoor Club Captain :thup:

 

[richart]

You were all very welcome, and pleased to hear a good time was had by all.:thup: Thanks for making the trip guys, I know a lot of you had a good old drive to sunny Hampshire.

Pleasure as always to play with Gordon, Steve, and Nick, and to see the honour of the Forum upheld. As for the Mariners, sorry to Simon and Phil but it would have been bad form for a member to win.

Is it just me or is that 'official' winning photo really scary.

Now you have promised to play with a GM staffer, I can confirm it was not you Phil. The other five need to be afraid.oo:

Can't believe you duped me like that :rant:

Cheers for a great day and will see you in a week or so for the next round :thup:

Cheers Rich:thup: shame we couldn't build on our good front 9, but it was good to have the honour at the end . And also good to watch Gordon and Steve play so well.

Nice to see everyone and on the last point.....I know you wouldn't do that to me

Maybe the honour could go to the gold shoes

There always has to be penance for gold shoes, it's a rule of life.

What sort of fool would buy gold shoes?

I'll wet myself if he does :rofl:

I've been up since 4.45 this morning, driven miles, played with Smiffy and it's way past my bed time and I'm not thinking straight ...... what am I not understanding?

Don't worry Chris you are safe, so you can go to bed.:thup:

There is a booby prize at HFH. I reckon it should be reserved for previous winners

Will Fish like it?

 

[richart]

I'll wet myself if he does :rofl:

After some of his cracks today about me, he should be worried.

Great day out guys. Many thanks to my team for producing the goods and apologies for not saying so in the speech!

Thanks to Nick, Rich and my partner Gordon for the game, very good fun and I had no idea that playing for such big stakes would be too much for our opposing two to cope with, never want to ruin anyone's day so will keep that in mind for the future! Rich was the perfect host as usual.

I'm getting the impression that the Gold shoes might not have gone down too well! I did pay a fine and have apologised about them several times but I feel that some punishments might be a little over the top especially as there are mitigating circumstances!

Nice to see a good few Forumers on the day and pretty sure we did Golf Monthly proud (except for the gold shoes and pitch marks!).

 

[richart]

I was disappointed you didn't keep the sweater. A tank top would have looked good with the shoes.:thup:
