Cheap trip away if anybody fancies it......

So The main buggy users will need to pay £30.50 each for the whole shebang and FT pays £18 for his 2 rounds.

Are we still chucking in £10 for the prizes?

Of course.
I'm still undecided what to spend it on

This looks like it could be good fun. Stick me in please Smiffy, single room and a buggy, there's a good chap

Just checking the advance weather for Gainsborough. Going to be a bit "breezy" with a possibility of a shower or two.
But of course, that could change.

Looks a bit patchy still and we will get wet at some point but I am still revved up for this!!

You will be fine, there has been rain forecast all week up here and for the most part it has been bone dry and sunny. Glorious sunshine at the moment.

 

[Smiffy]

Just to wish everybody a safe journey to the course, Ray, Preet and I are planning to arrive around 12'ish. See ya there!!
:whoo::whoo::whoo:

I'm aiming to be in the pub around 12, a couple of pints and seeing you all in the clubhouse circa 1300 hours,

Have you forgotten what the upstairs flat team agreed last year after our humiliating defeat? No drinking until we are winning.

Dry old week-end then Mush

Dryer than Gandhi's flip flop😳

 

[Captainron]

I've been to ASDA to stock up on a few things for the flat. Have snacks, cards, a bit of beer, whisky, painkillers etc. I've got milk for the tea and coffee

I'm aiming to get out of the house early doors (in laws are staying over) and I've spun a yarn about needing to be there for 10.

 

[Smiffy]

Got the iron out nice and early this morning to get everything looking neat and proper for the golf course.
Then thought....."I can't be arsed"

I am going to look a right scruff bag

Oh, good, that means I'll be able to recognise you then.

State of play,

Smiffy is being a right you know what because his flat is winning by 15 points after the first day. Conditions were brutal and a combination of old age and some creative scoring are keeping them ahead.

 

[full_throttle]

Great weekend, comfortable accommadation, good quality food and plenty of it, some good golf and plenty of banter, especially at the dinning table. As always the golf comes second to the company, thanks to all for another enjoyable break. Congrats to the winning flat, just 8 points seperated the two after the final round, thanks to a 42pt return from Captainron, enabling him to also claim the individual prize over Ray and Smiffy. Pencil me in for next year please

 

[Leftie]

Massive thanks yet again to Smiffy for organising a great few days away.

As always, great company, great food, great banter and some golf ......

Well done Capt Ron on some great scoring (eventually). :ears: His magic moment that I saw was his 317 yd drive leaving a 160yd (approx) wedge to the green on the 5th Karston. :clap: A legend is his own lunch box. A true Forumer. :thup:

I'm too modest to mention my 3 on the 14th Thornock this morning ....... An unlikely win

Thanks again to everyone involved in making an event to remember - for all the right reasons.

I'll put some pictures up in due course (when I have remembered how to do it).
