Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Hope todays rain does not cause problems for Wednesday.

Fingers crossed.

Only consistent rain over a number of days affects us, if we get a 24hr break after any wet stuff we'll be fine.

We do have some heavy rain forecast for tonight which I will be able to evaluate on Tuesday and some light showers during Tuesday, otherwise Wednesday is a full sunny day :thup:

I am waiting to see if golfandmoregolf is joining us to make up the 4-ball, he is looking for a lift but not sure where from.

The work either side of our access road has now moved to the other end, so access to the club is now from the bottom of Crewe Lane off the B4115/Ashow Road end.

Just a short one from me, Thanks to Fish for organizing a fantastic day and for waving his membership to make it cheaper for all. Thanks to my playing partners on the day Oxfordcomma, Crow and upsidedown. There was some fantastic examples of golfing ability on show.

I'll not reveal the scores but I did make a birdie on the 14th and a 9 on at least one hole, so you could describe my day as inconsistent.

Big thanks from me to Fish for making this a good day out for my first meet!

Nice to put some faces to the forum names!

My day started pretty badly, with a completely duffed tee shot off the first, and got more inconsistent from their! I think i was on 4 or 5 trebles, and forgot how to chip! My highlight though was being 8 foot away after a wonderful wedge over some trees, putting for a birdie, and walking away with a bogey. Wish I could blame the course but it was definitely my fault!

Lovely course though, I would recommend people take Fish up on his offer of a round, I certainly enjoyed it, and having him as a guide was certainly useful, even if I couldn't hit it where he pointed!

It was good to meet you :thup:

You certainly can hit a good ball, your recovery shots at times, especially on the 5th and then on the 14th show you have it within your ability to put some very good rounds together, and by god when you strike it well you hit a much longer ball than me, you hit a 9i longer than my 7i on 1 hole So, if I was to give 1 piece of advice from 1 high handicapper to another, it would be to be more positive and stop putting yourself down after any duffed shots, we all make them, just play the shot and then play it again if needs be and then put that hole behind you, its gone, finished, history :smirk:

Your welcome back any time matey :thup:

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Thanks for the traffic info. I am coming from the west along the M42/M40 to the Warwick turn if that helps the lift situation.


I also have a bit of a cold ,so some germs will have to be fought too.

No he's in Cov and I've offered but I think he's still doubtful unfortunately so were still looking for a potential 4th :mmm:

Rosecott could also be doubtful again if it's carry only, not sure how that will pan out if its only your score to count in a 2-ball as I've played my qualifier already

Surely it doesn't matter if you've played your qualifier Robin. You can still mark his card!!

Yes I can, I wasn't bothered about myself Simon, it was more a question as Bigfoot could be competing on his own if its carry only, but after discussing it with other organisers, it isn't a problem as he's playing the course not any individuals and he's unaware of any scores so he's blind with a card his hand. I'll play with him but in a non-qualifying role :thup:

March 5th (Wednesday Meet 9am)

1/ Fish (nq)
2/ Rosecott*
3/ Bigfoot*
4/ Golfandmoregolf*

Hopefully if the trolley ban is lifted we'll have a 4-ball, but we won't know that until around 07.30hrs when the head greenkeeper updates the website course conditions.

I'll see you by the putting green, there's no other visitors so we can have a coffee or simply warm up and get on our way, either way, I'll see some or hopefully all of you tomorrow at 9am.

 

[Bigfoot]

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Whatever happens it will be a game on a new course for me. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Fish]

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Rosecott & golfandmoregolf have had to drop out this morning as they can't carry, anyone who wishes to join myself & Bigfoot get to the club (putting green) for 9am, you don't need to be involved in the KOK, only £17 each if we can make a 4-ball up :thup:

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Good to meet Bigfoot again and play a round of golf in his company for the first time. It was a cold and frosty start but as soon as the sun broke through, the layers came off and the golf got better. I think it was a round of 2 halves for both of us, Bigfoot was steady on the front 9 playing to his handicap bagging 3 pars and a birdie and I only had 1 birdie to talk about but then on the back 9 Bigfoot only came in with 1 par on the 18th to my 4 pars and a birdie, so, if we'd been a BB pair we'd have racked up a pretty impressive 46 points

Once the last 4-ball has been completed on the 28th I will release all the scores from 3 qualifying meetings.

Can those playing below, please confirm you are still OK.

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Following on from Fish's post.

No, thank you Fish. It was a good day for golf and was great to get out with you at Kenilworth.

The course is great even though we have had plenty of rain. It can only be tighter and tougher in Summer but will be superb to play.
Favourite hole was the ninth. The look of it from the tee and you need to hit far enough right to get at the green and then hit uphill to the angled green. Great hole.

I cannot thank Fish enough for his hospitality today. Thanks for organising and taking the trouble to go out with me. We went round in good time even though we were behind a fourball.

Best of luck to the others that play at the end of March - you will enjoy it.

Really looking forward to this one as my first away trip of the year, though from the better ball scoring yesterday sounds like it might be tough to qualify.

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

I have 1 space available for this 4-ball. The cost is only £17 and already with the drier weather the course is playing very well with no temps. With more dry weather forecast I would expect the tee blocks to start moving back over the coming weeks and could be back on the whites by then :smirk:

We can meet at 10.30 for this meet as a society of 20 is off at 10.30 and should be clear of the 1st tee by 11.10hrs. I will be their from 10am for anyone who arrives earlier for a coffee or wants practice around the putting green, chipping area or in the nets. There is a range 100yds past our main entrance to the club with a maximum of 170yds carry, you use your own balls.

As soon as the society is clear, well go off behind them.

If I'm still injured, which I'm hoping I won't be, I will walk with you and score so the costs won't change as your my 3 guests :thup:

I will be aiming to arrive around 10:00am for a coffee, this should give plenty of time for a quick warm up in the net.

OK, the 20 x society is no longer showing on the website diary so once were all together and warmed up, we'll be good to go.

Looking forward to meeting a couple of new faces.
