Cheers Joe, one mate confirmed. He doesn't have official club handicap, but plays off around 12. I'm off 24.4 but should be lower. Played in The Bushey Hall Open last weekend & won the 19-28 h'cap division. Was still 3 over h'cap but if I could get my putter working I'd be back to at least a shot a hole !

 

[sJoe]

Thanks Fozzie we'll play of club handicaps. and those that don't have official handicaps, we'll take there word for it..After all it's meant to be a fun day on the course..The pressure of the Fed-Ex this week and the Ryder Cup next week we'll leave to the pros...

I know I said I might not be able to make it, but managed to keep the day relatively free, little bit of work first thing in the morning in Ipswich but then straight to Clacton with you lot. Looking forward to it! See you all on Monday.

 

[sJoe]

The weather is bloody foul today (and not sure if tomorrow looks much better).

Call me a wimp but I don't fancy driving 2 hours to trudge around in the rain, especially as I do not have a waterproof jacket
Gonna check the weather first thing tomorrow with my fingers crossed.....

With you on this one Rob, forecast is looking terrible for tomorrow afternoon, high winds, rain and hail forecasted.

 

[full_throttle]

I've got a 3hour drive, but all being well I'll be there.

Can a post be put on here before 8am if the day is cancelled due to the weather

 

[CallawayKid]

Looks 'sporting' Joe

You're call sir!

[sJoe]

Guys I've checked the weather channel and accuweather and both forecast rain and wind for tomorrow, 80% chance. So I guess the sensible thing to do is to cancel. I don't want any of you having to drive 2/3 hours for what's looking like a NON-EVENT..So Im making the decision now. If is does clear up (MMMM) then sods law...SO GUYS TOMORROW IS OFF..

 

[full_throttle]

Bloody weather, been raining her esince midday. Thanks for your efforts Joe.

 

[rob2]

Yeah, probably the right call, it is looking well moody.

Joe, sorry for all the hassle you had in organising it, what a shame.

Definitely need to reschedule though

Rob

 

[swanny32]

Think thats the best thing to do, nothing worse than duffing it around in the wet and wind.

Good job organizing Joe, hopefully next time.

 

[CallawayKid]

Got your message Joe, sensible thing to do I think, it's a shame but I'm sure we'll get a chance to do it again sometime.
Thanks for organising it Joe, well done!

Excellent call on canceling, it is really grim up that way. Just got back from Ipswich, seems as though the further north you go on the A12 the worse the weather gets. Bit of a result for me as well as I'm feeling like crap today, stinking headache and after yesterday's abysmal effort on the course, the last thing I want to do is play golf.
