Cooden....Friday 16th August. Final details......

[Smiffy]

Woken up to a fairly decent morning down here. Not a hint of breeze (but I think that is going to change later in the day) and high cloud. No rain at the moment!
More of a worry is the fact that I started aching all over yesterday afternoon and my throat feels like I've got a beach ball stuck half way down it and I sound like Barry White. Not good. Hopefully a nice hot shower and a couple of tabs will sort me out but a bit cheesed off that I'm feeling rough.
Safe journeys everybody, I will be at the club from about 8.15

Have a great day Rob, I hope that you feel better after the shower!

Cheers Chris. Have just ironed my "outfit".....
Last cup of coffee, shower and shave and on my way.
Fingers crossed I feel better afterwards.

Someone post a full run down of the scores....... :thup:

 

[Captainron]

Must have had a pretty poor day lads. Not one update?? Come on! Did Smiffy top his drive on the first then or what?

Hope you had a brilliant day fellas - gutted I couldn't be there; next year.

 

[Leftie]

Smiffy is a leg end, sorry legend.

Great day out as usual, excellently organised. Homage due to all those who traveled the length and breadth of the country to play in this annual event and, although the weather changed for the afternoon round effectively making it a completely different course, there were some excellent scores recorded morning and afternoon.

Not wishing to steal Smiffy's thunder, I won't mention Chris's score of 46 points in the morning game as he didn't win anything because it was a blind team event and his (unknown) partners must have been carp, nor Hobbit's 42 points in the afternoon playing off 6 - do the math! Yeh, it was that good.

As usual thanks to my playing partners for their company and golfing prowess and a special mention of Sawtooth's driving - many GPS measured at over 300 yds. Brings back some faith in Forumers' tales of dering do. :clap:

Great day as usual, meeting up with many friends made over the years on the Forum, and meeting some new faces. Keep up the fishing Smiffy. :thup:

 

[richart]

Just got back home, but I will leave Smiffy to fill in the scores.

I only played in the afternoon in the worst of the weather. Course was tough, but enjoyable as ever. Thanks Rob for sorting another great forum day. Plenty of laughs over the evening meal as well, as a lot of forumers got rather excited over a young serving wench. We did get to see her tattoo:thup:, and eat from her garden.

 

[Hobbit]

Brilliant day, with some cracking guys. Great to meet old friends and new... needless to say there was some great banter. Chris's morning round was a joy to behold. And did I enjoy the afternoon round? Mmm, it was a bit special in damp and breezy conditions. The 7 birdies helped the score nicely.

Reached the hotel just south of Luton, only another 4hrs worth to do in the morning... 630 miles for a great craic - worth it.

 

[Leftie]

I love your avatar Hobbit but was it too windy today for your wig?

Great round btw :thup:

 

[rickg]

Some Piccies.......sorry, didn't get any of the tats!

 

[Smiffy]

Nice pics there Rick. Capture the moods of the weather perfectly!

A great day as others have said, and a big thank you to everybody for turning up on time and making my job a whole lot easier.
Didn't have a brilliant day myself (score wise), 29 points in the morning followed by a 35 pointer in the afternoon, when Ray had the same 35 and Richart pipped us both by the odd point with 36. Nice close game! Ray had played much better in the morning and had carded 42 points, 6 over par and a "personal best" for him.
As has been pointed out, Lefties guest Chris had 46 points, (the best points score of the day), but this won bugger all as unfortunately the lowest score of the day came out of the hat to be paired with him for the blind team event!
Best round of the day was Brian's (Hobbits) at even par giving him 42 points off of 6.
It was really good to see everybody today, and a special "thank you" must go out to those guys that drove bloody miles to be there, Fish, Hobbit and Full Throttle in particular.
I will contact the club shortly to say thank you and will try to secure a date for next year. Will let you know the outcome as soon as I do.
