Well done for setting the Flat cap tour off on the road Karl, 27 might not be a bad score if the wind really blows when the rest of us play it.

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

As Louise said Karl,27 might not be as bad as you think. If that easterly wind picks up it throws the course round and its a real brute. Holes like the 2nd and 11th become unbelievably tough and as you said if you don't get the pace of the greens early on you'll struggle, lots of invisible breaks. Cracking course though. A great Test.

If the wind is blowing I'd have it as tough as west lancs, and anyone that plays to handicap will have played out of their skin.......It's going to be interesting

Good job Karl,it is a tough course.
You're right about the greens too, fast and tough to read.
Looking forward to getting up there.

Well done Karl for hitting the opening drive on the OOM.

Was the next one a provisional? :rofl:

For everyone else playing over the coming week or two, please confirm to Graham that they will be your cards (or not as the case may be). Please also box him off your £20, if convenient.

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.

Glad you enjoyed yourself today Karl in the mild condition old links is know for a good test of golf don't think many will play to there H/C and if the wind really gets up !!!!!!!

Maybe.... Would have been ecstatic with 32 if the putter was even Luke warm... I agree about it being as tough West Lancs. they layout is superb... Going to keep an eye on the scores

With your 27 points, and after everyone's first round. Do you think 27 points will be:-

a. top 4 - champions league place
b. europa cup
c. LFC mid table medio...... sorry can't finish this line.
d. 40 point level, safe from relegation
e. rele.....alongside scouser.

id say europa! theres always a few star rounds from people. 30 points around a new course is always decent so that will be the target.

27 is still a good bit above liverpools level atm they just need a few more putts to drop.

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Played Davyhulme tonight and sheesh kebab it was windy and its not even a windy course really so i can imagine BOL was tricky! I reckon 27 will be at least average for round there especially from what ive heard. Every bugger ive asked about BOL just puffs there cheeks out and says nice but tough!

I predict somebody will get 15 or less around there, just hope its not me :rofl:
