Cleveland golf club, 28th January

2-3 club wind at times.

Cheers to all once again. Really enjoyed it. Course is perfect for winter. Dry with greens running at a very good pace for January (were a lot quicker last year). Cheers to Josh, Martin & Paul. Cracking partners today with some very good shots made considering the wind.

Cheers Brian for organising and enjoy your retirement and Spain.

Yep, some quality shots played all round, I dread to think what Josh's score would have been had he not found about every bunker on the course .
 
Just walked in and breaking out the Stottie cake & peas pudding Paul brought down for me 👍

Tough going at times, any slight miss hit and that wind showed no mercy.

Great company in my fourball and nice to get a round with Bri before he jetted off to sunny Spain.

Course was in excellent condition, and good to see some of the northern Forum boys.

The gout decided to attack me from the 13th, my penance for having a good drink the day & night before 😜

Thanks for organising Bri and all the best in Spain 😎
 
Yeah, thanks all. My first meet and it didn't start too well with my ball falling off the first tee mid-downswing. Took me another seven holes to get over it (my excuse for playing rubbish on the front nine). Had a blast though. Great to put some faces to names. Until next time!
 
As always a really great day out Bri... many thanks.
Me an the guys are looking forward to you returning from the rigors of the Spanish winter next year for more fun at Reviera-Redcar.
Best wishes :thup:
PS. Well done Martyn for preventing a Yarkshire whitewash of the prizes :o:o

Just got in, a smidge under 6 hours. Great to see so many old friends. Well they were mostly old apart from Josh and James who probably managed to keep the average age under 50.Great afternoon and evening with Fish yesterday, especially as he seems to get his ideas and capabilities confused when he was eyeing up the ladies in Rosie's.

A great round with Fish, Pauldj and Kraxx. Kraxx was still recovering from an almighty session he had had with Khamelion on Friday night. Paul hit some of the longest drives of the day, finishing less than 200yds from the tee but with the biggest boomerang slice ever. And Fish spent most of the back nine auditioning for a part as Long John Silver as his gout played havoc with his feet.

Nice to get out on a course - first round since late Oct, and it was dry too.

Josh won with 35pts, 20 of which were on the back 9, including two 1pointers. The old Hobbit struggled occasionally 3 putting but still managed 33pts for 2nd place. Beezerk got 3rd with 32pts, beating Lump's back 9. Lump also got nearest the pin in two on the par 4th 7th, hitting the pin and coming to rest about 18 inches from the hole.

My thanks to all those that attended today, especially some of the long distance travellers.

Cheers Brian, always enjoy a day out on the links. All the Scottish guys enjoyed their day. Course was in very good condition, 10mph off the wind and it would have been perfect.
 
I’m supposed to go to a Physio today but I think it would counter productive, I’m already in a lot of discomfort and knackered without being manhandled any more 😟

Time to get back on Fitness Pal and sort my diet out and have a dry-February as I missed January 😜
