See you there lads. Just leaving to pick Ray up, should be there about 12. Meet in the café part of the clubhouse (called café 19) which is just by the pro shop and overlooks the 18th greens of both courses. I will collect the money (off of those that haven't paid yet) and nip into the office and sort it all out when I get there. Will also pick the keys up for the apartments at the same time. Safe driving. Looks like the weather is going to be fantastic for the 3 days.

What a BLAST!
Great meeting everyone and putting some names to faces. Thanks to Smiffy for organising it all - I'm sure he'll do it again next year but first dibs go to those who went this year
- I think some in Flat B want REVENGE!! 
Some great play, some not so great, some consistent play (Leftie), some inconsistent play (LIG) and some consistently bad play! :rofl: (where's the mouth zipped up smiley)
Rosecott deserves special mention for being the gentlemen amongst a bunch of reprobates. Not a single cross word the whole time and still walked round on the final day despite a hand injury preventing him swinging a club after the 7th! You, Sir! Are a top fella! :thup:
Other noteable mentions.
CaptainRon - for snapping his 8 iron in a fit of rage!! Don't cross him if you ever have the (dubious) pleasure of playing with him!!
Smiffy - for waiting until the final hole of the final day to start playing "like Seve". :lol:
Leftie and Ray - for being unflappable under the intense pressure of the final day's point chase
FullThrottle - for marshalling the forces of Flat B to a narrow defeat despite Smiffy having loaded the teams!!!
JustOne - for ....er.....being , well, JustOne!ne:
Looking forward to the next time!

Thanks and well done Smiffy on yet another superb Forum meet. I'll give it 9 1/2 stars. Only lost 1/2 star 'cos of the weather. Too jolly hot old chap.
Always great to meet up with Forum friends and to meet and play with new people.
Too many memories to list in full but a couple at random were Captainron's impressive ball striking and distance with many drives measured (when we could find his ball) with GPS well over 300 yds (that's actual yds not "Forum yds") (if only he could hit the ball on a lower trajectory with less spin so that it didn't carry and drop the same distance with no roll he could be quite long 
); LIG performing some kind of dance to the golfing gods for his EAGLE :clap:; Smiffy's look of dis-belief when he found his ball on the wrong fairway, piccie to follow; Smiffy's snoring from dusk to dawn; Smiffy's drink making at 0515 hours thinking he was being quiet; Smiffy waking and chatting to JustOne at 0530 hours thinking he was being quiet; Smiffy beating one Spaniard :mmm:; 6 Tourettes sufferers all talking at once; Apartment B plying me with alcohol into the early hours in a forlorn effort to nobble one of Apartment A's team as they were so far adrift on the team match; the memories go on .......
A special mention of Rosecott who is an absolute gentleman and who, coincidently, had a never ending supply of a rather nice Shiraz. I salute you Sir. It must be said however that your avatar doesn't quite do you justice but it was rather special not to be the oldest at a meet
If this meet is organised for next year then, if I'm spared, I'm up for it. Bagsy a single room though.
Thanks again Smiffy. You are a star.

Yes, a superb week-end, fantastic weather, and great company.
Flat A completely overwhelmed Flat B score wise (we took the best 3 scores on each hole from each scorecard) so much so that the white flag was raised at the conclusion of round 3!!
Lots of laughing and joking, general mickey taking. Great craic.
My own personal highlight was scoring best round of the week-end, 40 points on the Monday morning around the Thonock Park course.
Flat A (L to R) Just One, Smiffy, Ray & Leftie
Flat B (L to R) CaptRon, Full Throttle, RoseCott & LIG
JustOne's "Rainbow" outfits....
My luck (again) at the 18th (you can just see the flag between the tree trunks)

James's essential supplies.

Thanks for organising it all Smiffy. Thanks to Rosecott and Full Throttle for teaching me how to play Cribbage. The set up at Gainsborough is fantastic and I hope we get back for next year. I regret the 8 iron. I had a fantastic time and there were loads of laughs all the way through.

Morning Cameron!
Was this telling me that you had a putt for a two???
There were some fantastic Carp in the lakes. Shame I didn't have my gear with me.
Jim (RoseCott) teeing off
Guess who????
James missing yet another putt!
Time to chill and keep cool.

More than likely it was that I lost 2 balls on that hole. That was the first round on Sunday where I played so spectacularly well.....
Roger was the epitome of consistency and was a deserved winner. His little dinks around the green never left him more than 2 or 3 feet away and he invariably held the putt which just kept him going.
