And James is too modest to say, but he won the individual comp (once someone explained to Paul how countback works!).

Well played James :thup:

We are you from?

 

[huds1475]

We are you from?

It's in my signature Paul :rofl:

No greater incentive than handing it to a Liverpudlian :thup:

 

[snell]

Yeah he's great to watch when in full flight, strikes a beautiful ball.

Congrats mate on winning the creepiest post ever award :rofl:

Great day at Cleveland GC in the company of Lord T and 2 Yorkshiremen, Hobbit and Huds1475, the Yorkshiremen played some excellent golf in spells, me and Lord T were just no match, well played guys.

Yorkshire ran out easy winners once 2Blue had moved a few people around
24 played which thought was 12 v 12, which finished with 14 guys playing for Yorkshire, 2blue graciously gave us 2 players, 2 that had the lowest scores cheers Dave and congratulations to your Yorkshire team that came from Ireland, Scotland, the NE and Lancashire!

Individually Lump and Heavygrebo both had 36 points with Lump winning on countback after I'd announced HeavyG and then corrected myself, apologies :rofl:

If anyone is in the area try and play Cleveland GC, you won't be disappointed.

Special mention to all those that travelled a fair distance, especially Hobbit who not only organised the day, but also drove down from Aberdeen (12 hrs there and back) safe journey home to all.

Really enjoyed the day. My golf was horrific but the company more than made up for it, cheers Robin, Andy and Jeff :thup:

 

[Val]

Just home and fed. Thanks for organising Brian, lovely course and well done on the weather.

Cheers for the company James and Martin, both me and Scott thoroughly enjoyed our day despite the smell coming from my golf game currently. James, some superb golf from you today, play like that all season and drop some putts and you'll definitely meet that 3hc goal.

Echo all the above really.

Nice to see a club that is obviously doing well, both on the course and off it. Weather was superb and, as mentioned many times the greens were phenomenal for January, quick and very true.

For a course that doesn't get much recognition I really enjoyed it. A good, testing layout that you had to be on your toes to score well. All 4 Par 3's are no giveaway either, tough one shooters generally into the prevailing wind!

Apart from teeing off first I had a great time with Brian, Paul & Neil. Some good laughs all the way round and the time flew.

Thanks Brian, for organising, great job :thup:

Great to see some familiar faces, and to see some new ones too.

Gutted I didn't realise the Cardboard box on the prizes shelf had 9 bottles of beer in it :rofl: Have a good night Beezerk!!!

Just over 3hrs back in pouring rain, spray & fog, scary driving conditions but well worth it after a great day on the links in glorious sunshine.

The weather was superb, the greens were true, fast (12) & excellent, I loved the course and the company was even better with some good banter & dodgy golf, we all played a mixture good, bad & ugly but we should have put them to the sword being 6 points up on the turn!

Thanks Andy, Geoff & Snell 👍

A very friendly clubhouse, made to feel very welcome and I wouldn't hesitate to travel & play there again, maybe take another course in though next time over 2-days.

Thanks Bri for organising, well done the Puddins with their car load of ringers 😜 We're not bitter 😉

Where's my Stottie Cake & Peas Pudfing'🤔

It was emotional 🏌️

Bugger. That's a months supply for me. 6 balls usually last me less than 4 hours

:faceslappingsmileything:

 

[Heavy-grebo]

I have to agree it was a great day, thanks Brian and co. Greens were mustard today, very fast, and probably kept the scoring down a little. Great company Mark Dave and Dave we had a laugh and all played a little decent golf at times, cheers.

 

[upsidedown]

Can confirm it's a great track in Summer too :thup:

Always fancied a Cleveland / Seaton Carew or Ganton combo

Were the 2 BFO Pork Pies not enough

Bollox, the 2 stottie cakes and peas pudding enjoyed their ride out in my car to the seaside today, taking them the pictures tomorrow.

Totally forgot I had them

 

[Hobbit]

In and watered about 10 mins, and in bed. Nice dry run up after seeing my auntie. 5hrs 10 mins door to door.

Fantastic fourball, playing with huds, Lord T and Pauldj. Good golf by everyone, so at least no one went home feeling they had had a mare.

And as ever the banter was brilliant!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

A former steel works or a future water park? You just need vision.

Anyway, enough of the view from the course. Cleveland gave us a wonderfully friendly welcome, both before and after our rounds. Smashing clubhouse, excellent quality of links course. Everyone else has mentioned the greens but when they are that good I'll add my bit to it. If you played a course with greens like those in summer you would come off buzzing. To be that good in winter is exceptional. Greenkeeper, take a bow. Now if only those holes were a little bigger.............

Top company, Huds and Hobbit dished out a lesson which Paul and I accepted, mainly because we had no come back. Hobbit even had the cheek to buy a new set of irons in the pro shop before the round and use them without a practice. That's proper golfers for you.

Cracking day, and I'll add my thanks to Brian and anyone else who helped with the organisation. Looking forward to the next meet up. I'll be putting in some hours of practice and playing before then though.

Great day yesterday, great company, it was a game of two Dave's for me and 2Blue, Dave(me) great front 9 pants back 9, Dave(2Blue) pants front 9 great back 9, Tony great front and back 9, I think it was 100% FIR, Mark, this only thing stopping you getting 100% FIR was the rough, but then the only thing stopping me sinking that put was pace and line

Cheer Bri for organising, great course and day, even though the Puddings won on the day, keep it safe for the next one, what is the score by the way 3 - 1 to the NE I believe?
