Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

really enjoyed that today. i cut mybackswing a little and was hitting the driver well. bolton old links is a great course. plenty of hills and some holes you really have to think where you want to put the ball. i struggled with the greens. 3 putted the first 3. i think i had 7/8 3 putts in total. i nearly putted off the green twice.

we got lucky with the weather. the rain held off for the most part. the wind wasnt too bad.

good to meet another irish man in yerman, gjbike was a great host with plenty of local knowledge and birchy a gent as usual. Cheers lads!

:lol:

Great post mate. Really enjoyed the course myself but the greens killed me on Friday. If I had knocked off all the 3 putts I'd have scored in the high 30's. I'm definitely going to play it again though as it's one of the best Moorland type courses in the area..

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Glad you enjoyed yourself Garry have to say that we were unlucky with the weather today a bit on the cold side compared to Friday.

Reading these reports makes me feel less down about my putting on friday.

You did well to miss the rain, we got soaked this afternoon at Ellesmere.

When are today's scores being posted?

Re: Bolton Old Links GMNWOOM EVENT

Howdo guys!!!! Just been to an 80th birthday party and i played like i was 80 today :rofl: Well what a course that was! I played like an absolute plum but that is easy to do around there as its not easy at all. Easily in my top 3 toughest courses ive played, the greens were stupidly difficult and in summer they will be deadly. First course that has made me feel like crying My horse got lost on the way there you will all be pleased to know :rofl:

Scores from today are :-
Garyinderry 32 points
Birchy 27 points
Yerman 25 points

Thanks to Nick, Graham and Gary for putting up with my utter crapness and moaning at myself today :thup:

P.S Graham ive got to play there again one day, was a cracking course shame i didnt see the best parts with the ball

Would echo this, certainly a course I'll play again, really enjoyable. Might pick my day carefully though with the micro-climate up there!

Dont read anything into putting up there Louise, its a different world. Ive seen grown men brought to their knees today by them

Grahams score of 38 around there just registered with me today how great it was. It will take a monumental effort to beat that.

I did no official ones.... I was kinda asking if any one of the course captains were thinking of hosting one.... Hold your plums... (not being rude it was a radio competition that LB would have entered)

Sacrilege - if they scored above 36 points - the're getting docked 4 points.:rant:

If below 28, serves them right!

Come on people, enter into the spirit.:thup:
