Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Don't kill yourself matey, we've got 5 months to get all these games in. I was expecting a bit of a rush at the end, not the beginning!

Thought the matches had to be played 2 weeks either side of the main comp ?

Just looked at the rules and the only thing it states is to have all your matches played by Finals Day.

That said i see you are playing this week on Thursday and Friday. Not to sure how work is going to pan out at the moment and not likely to know till late on Wednesday. Any chance i can ring you late on and potentially join in on one of the days?

If so then PM me your mobile number.

Cheers, Steve

No Gray, As long as all 6 matches are done by finals day.

I thought you were maybe trying to just get yours done out the way.

And breathe.....:p

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Graham, given its just you and I so far for Thursday lets call it off and catch it later, no rush and no pressure on you to get all these games in this week.

Unless you are happy playing just a 2 ball

I might have to rearrange mine now, got a letter yesterday saying my house exchange should be Thursday so there's no way I can bugger off playing golf on Friday!

Why don't the 3 of us get together another day?

Sorry for the late reply Martin been playing at Forest Pines this afternoon, we might have been struggling with the light with teeing off at 16:30 so best to leave it later date,

No problem will sort it for a later date when it's best for you Robin.
 
Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Is this open to anyone? I might be free the week after next for an afternoon round.
Hi you are more than welcome to join us on Friday 19th at Bolton old links, but if want to play in the GMNWOOM you will have to contact Birchy or Liverbirdie to see if there are any places left.
 
Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Is it the grand opening of the order of merit today with Karl and Graham? :) What time is the big kick off fellas? Is Graham putting his card in as well or is he waiting? :)

I think i might explode with excitement if ive got 2 scores to put on the leaderboard later! :rofl:

Lovely day for it pal! Should be nice and quiet at that time too :thup: You lads are going to be a part of OOM history after today as well!! :)

Graham/Karl,

I didn't realise you were playing so soon. Anyway, if you get this - Graham, if they have it, can you get the £20 off everyone you play with in the next few weeks for the OOM entry fee. Me or Birchy will get it from you then, if that's ok.

Any stragglers I'll get via bank transfer.

Just remember - no gimmes and make sure your h/cap is up to date.

Congrats on being in the top two - Graham is this your official card??

Dont forget everyone, you have to declare it before you play!!!!

Good luck and enjoy guys.:thup:

I made the buffer on Saturday (just), like you mate, am just glad to get out!
I will give Graham my £20 today pal as well.... Just hope this wind eases up, I've heard it gets up a bit at Old Links!

Yeah i heard its always windy there :eek:

That low scuttle that i was hitting with alarming regularity at the weekend might come in handy after all :rofl:
 
Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Just got back from Forest Pines, going to put my card in on Friday if that's ok weather looking not to bad dry and windy should be in for a good golfing day

Yeah thats no problem Graham, like the tactics :thup:

You do know that you will probably scorch it round today now though! :rofl:
 
Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Congratulations to me. I am top of the NWOOM......

Cheers Graham for taking me around. BOL is a stunningly laid out course and a true test. Some cracking views over Lancashire and Cheshire. Birchy if you thought Clitheroe was windy, this is in a different league, and according to Graham, it wasn't half as bad as it gets....

Ok, so 27 points was pretty pish. I should have scored around 32, but my putting was woeful. The greens were slick and hard to read. That equalled 3 putt central in my book!

Looking forward to playing the other courses now.
