Brilliant day at Wollaton open

[Tashyboy]

Played the Wollaton open yesterday at Wollaton hall in Nottingham. For £20 the course was an absolute bargain. Met another member there who was the starter. Absolute gent.
Played the other week there and expected to see the deer, but not the young foals.
For the record my driving was sublime, but could I Eck as like finish off an hole until I parred 16 and 17. But playing off 21 reduced to max 18 and then down again to 16, Through reduction was always goin to be hard finding five shots.
Third time I have played there and third time it has rained. 🙁☔️

I love seeing wildlife on the golf course, especially things I am not expecting.

btw Young deer are Fawns not foals.

Playing there tomorrow (Tuesday), really looking forward to it as I've never been there before.

That will be spell checker I meant to write puppies. 😁

Lazkier, they are mainly on the back nine, but yesterday there were two about 20 yd from the club house. Get yer camera ready. A pp was waiting to chip onto the green and four deer were stood 15 yd on front of him (on the green) he asked me to go and shift um which I did.
Gets back into club house and there are notices saying the deer have fawns 👍 And the mums are a bit hormonal so don't go near them or you may get nutted. I mentioned this to a PP and he said " oh ah I read that and forgot to tell you" cheers pal. Oh, another oh ah, you get a free drop if your bal lands near them.

PS if you are a member at another course take your county card the price for us the other week went down from £45 to £25 😁

Great to meet you, Tashy. Pleased you enjoyed it. You looked a bit better than 21 handicap with your drive off the first.

Apparently we have had a lot of compliments already about the condition of the course, which is very gratifying. Out of interest, the winning score was 44, one of the two was on the card 16 times. He plays off 1 at Longcliffe, and was round in 5 under!

I'll be playing with a member but I'll take my card with me anyway mate.
I played at Stanton on the Wolds last week, lovely course if you get the chance to play it!

I know it is an old cliche but it really is an hidden diamond. Loved every minute of I. First three holes I set off on fire. But my playing partner was one under after six. My driving was the best I have hit this year but I could not hit two shots on the spin. Until I parred 16 and 17.
We knew it was always going to be hard (for me playing off 21 reduced to max 18 then down to 16 with all players recieving a reduction.
Those deer walking about are just jaw dropping.
incidentaly we shot 39 points (1 blob) with pp getting most. Other two also shot 39. If I had played to potential as I did the week before we would of got near 48.
The course was gorgeous but some of the members we saw in the clubhouse were excellent to talk to. Let us know when it is on next year.👍

Lazkir let let us know how you go on.
