Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

No, he'll pm you with the scores later after he verifies them.
Think I've remembered it right though.
Can you get us round your gaff next week?
Want to strike while the irons hot (not) :o

Well played gents, bet it was stunning up there today? I really enjoyed the course and in this weather, with those views, must have been a good place to be.

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Had a great day golfing with Greg and Martin this morning apart from some old coffin dodger asking to speed up play must have been in a rush to empty his colostomy bag if people what to rush round a golf course get up early and play when the course is empty.
 
Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Thanks for the hospitality today Graham and Andy, enjoyed the course and thought the writing was on the wall when I three putted the first from just off the back then 3 putted the second however I'm reasonably pleased how I played especially on the back 9.

For the record as to what happened today, I take exception to being asked to speed up on the course, if people are quicker then ask to get through dont ask people to speed up, it's rude and will always lead to conflict on a golf course.

No shame in 3 putting the 2nd at Old Links Martin, its one of the trickiest Greens in the North west mate. With the club champs there tomorrow I'd imagine the greens had been ironed and running quick.

The first time I played it, about 10 years ago I 5 putted it. I'm still traumatised now! A Par on that hole is exceptional.
20 points on the Tougher back 9 is good too! Top Course :thup:

I three putted the first 3 holes when i played it. i was above the hole on the 2nd. give it a smack and just about stayed on the green.


i was a bit of a quivering wreak for the rest of the round with the putter in my hand. 7 three putts at last count. :o

Does anyone want to join me and Graham next Sunday?

If not I don't mind switching to a midweek, so graham doesn't have to play as many games. Midweek 5.30 onwards would suit me, or even 5.00 on a Friday, if it suits graham.

This week Thursday and Friday are free for me, not sure if for Graham, as not listed.
 
Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

could be interested in the Sunday. really enjoyed my last trip to Bolton. fancy another crack at it. weather looks to be tip top again.

if you guys want to play midweek that's ok ill just play a comp at lee park.
 
What time you boys playing? I'm struggling to play the comp at our place on Saturday so may be able to join you.

If some OOM players want to get their cards in then I won't take up a space.
14:45 Today Ian you are more than welcome to come and join us, will be out side the pros shop.
