Blackmoor week of 19th December

[Alex1975]

Hope everyone can still play.

Suggest we meet upstairs in the lounge from 10.00 onwards, and aim to tee off between 10.30 and 11.00. Course should be fairly quiet with no comps/societies.

Weather forecast doesn't look too bad. Possibly a spot of rain, but reasonably mild 10 degrees. Just hope there is no fog like we had at the weekend.

Eeek I thought we were 11 oclock start. My plan is leave at 8.30 to do A41, M25, A3. RAC tells me thats 1h20m so should be in good time but will be at the whim of the traffic.

Looking forward to it. Think it will be rather windy and maybe damp here and there but as you say, warm.

We will not tee off without you Alex.

Nick is driving myself and Andy up in the Kia Sportage 1.7 diesel so as long as he floors it we'll be there in good time :thup:

Perhaps he could drop you at the end of the road, so you are not seen arriving in it ? Hope it is not foggy otherwise it could become smoggy.

It's certainly built for comfort & not necessarily speed

Think you might have already missed your chance of having a m.l.c

Cheers for the game today guys

Good to see old and new faces alike

Myself and Craig took on Andy ( Merv) and Gordon

The positive was we halved the first two holes

After that we were treated to a great display of pure striking front Andy who went round in 2 under Gross and possibly should have been a couple more under - was a pleasure to watch - and anytime Andy didn't get a birdie Gordon rattled one in - it was a very enjoyable game and the golf from all four of us was pretty good to watch

Merv took the overall honours and was fully deserved

See you all next year at some stage

Thanks to Craig and Rich hosting us today, my first game at Blackmoor for 15 years and really enjoyed it! And had a really good game with Phil, Craig and Gordon. Many thanks all!

 

[Alex1975]

Thank you for the invite, I love Blackmoor. Great group of guys.

... shocking golf from me, properly embarrassed but actually it did not spoil the day.

 

[richart]

Glad you enjoyed it guys. We were lucky with the weather after the first few holes. Course was in pretty good nick considering all the rain, and that we are in December.

Good to play with Alex and Sam for the first time, and Nick for the umpteenth. Not the greatest of starts from Alex, but coming on strong at the end. Sam played well, but talked himself into a bad final hole. The pit on the right of 18 is quite deep. Nick and I showed chipping skills that Gordon would have ben proud of. Anyone know where we can buy a chipper ?

Andy's 67 was pretty impressive, especially after his opening tee shot.

Haha I am getting to that age where it's not pretty to start with unless I hit a few in a net!

Anytime gents, great to watch some quality golf from Ph.... Andy and Gordon!
Partner, thank you for the laughs, there were many!!!
Look forward to the next one.
Happy Christmas and All the best for the New Year

 

[User20205]

Yep thanks Gents. It was a good laugh. Some good golf played in our group, but it doesn't sound like we were the marquee!!!! Well played Andy & Sam played pretty nicely in our 4 ball also. I'll have to do something about my short game rich, maybe you could teach me the hybrid punt!!
Highlight of the day was seeing Richards name on the honours board. They finally found a spot for the 'mixed winter foursomes knockout handicaps 12-24' aka the Vidal Sassoon shield. :thup:

Yet again, another great forum get together. Many thanks to Richard for organising, good to meet a couple of new faces (Alex and Sam) and plenty of old ones.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day, top golf from Andy (yes....fairways and greens is boring ) Pleasure as always to knock it round with Phil and Craig and looking forward to the next one already.
