Cooden groups and itinerary

[Smiffy]

Seconded. So long as I get first dibs on Fullthrottle's meal, that is!

Chicken and Ham pie...mmmmmmm.

Bags I his pud though

 

[Leftie]

so if you just bought a shirt and tie you may well be ok.

I've never known it to be a problem Smiffy.

The club won't throw us all out just because one person has "forgotten" to pack a jacket.

Played a society day at "Royal" Sidcup many years ago and they were very hot on dress code in the dining room. One guy had forgotten so the bar steward leant him a spare white bar jacket and something that resembled a long bootlace for a tie. Another time, at West Kent, I'd forgotten and after a shower, put my golf gear on and again the bar steward kindly lent me a jacket and tie.

It happens, clubs get used to it, and as I say - rarely a problem and can't see that it will be one this time.

One of the many things that makes golf clubs appear stuffy and old fashioned.
No wonder clubs are struggling to attract youngsters.

I'm surprised Murph. I thought you would have a fetching trouser/jacket combo in the wardrobe just for occasions like this!

 

[Smiffy]

Hoping the wind dies down a bit....it's blowing a gale down here today.

 

[Bratty]

It'll all be fine on the day, Smiffy!

By the way, I've created a bit of a Frankenstein's strokesaver for everyone, like last year, so I'll dish those out in the morning.

 

[Smiffy]

Drove past the course today on my way back from a shopping expedition in Eastbourne.
Looks lovely and lush and the greens looked superb


Still bloody windy though

 

[Jimbooo]

Really looking forward to it

For those of us that haven't been to a meet before (is it just me?) how do I recognise you?

 

[Bratty]

Look for the middleg-aged blokes blokes having a laugh, as opposed to the coffin dodgers frowning at the "outsiders"!

Failing that, look for a pair of f****** hideous trousers and equally obscene shirt and that's Murph!

 

[full_throttle]

Sat in my B&B overlooking the sea,and it's bloody windy.

See you all in the morning

 

[Bratty]

Not long now, boys!!!

 

[Golfmmad]

See ya all in the morning.

 

[TXL]

Really sorry you're missing it, mate. Would have been great to see you again.

Hopefully see you before June's trip to Camberley Heath!

"On the spot" weather report....

Overcast, wind has died down overnight but will still be a little "breezy"...
No rain forecast
Course looking good
Need another fag

 

[full_throttle]

Many many thanks Smiffy for organising todays meet. I really enjoyed the course, helped no doubt because my golf was ok.

Would like to pass on my thanks to Golfmad (Chris) and Terry for their company.

Hopefully I'll be back next year

 

[Bratty]

Great work, Smiffy! Fantastic day's golf, made more special by some great scoring by my two playing partners, TheRod and Pieman.. 113 combined points - get in!

Looking forward to next year already.

 

[Leftie]

Thanks again Smiffy for another great Forum and guests meet.

I suppose you are too modest to reveal the winner.

41 points morning and 41 afternoon

Well played mate.

Well played mate.

Absolutely delighted with the way I played Roger. Haven't put 18 holes together like that in years, let alone 36!!
Everything came together, good driving, decent iron play and if I did three putt during either round I honestly don't remember. Didn't have one blob all day, only hit a provisional twice, once when I messed up off the tee on the longest drive hole, and once where I put a ball OOB during the afternoon round. In both instances I went on to salvage a point on each hole...
Course was in superb condition, possibly better than last year (and that was good), weather was fantastic...a very light breeze when we first teed off which picked up a bit during the remainder of the day but was never too bad.
Was nice to see some old faces again, and to meet a couple of guys I hadn't met before, and special mention must go to Full Throttle who travelled all the way down from Coventry for the meet.

Results for the morning team event....
1st Place PIEMAN, BRATTY & THE ROD with 96 POINTS
2nd Place HERONSGHYLL, GUY & ROBIN with 88 POINTS
Nearest the Pin......GUY
Longest Drive....LETITRIP
Individual Stableford PM
1st Place SMIFFY 41 POINTS
2nd Place LEFTIE 41 POINTS (LOST ON COUNTBACK)
3rd Place MURPHTHEMOG 40 POINTS

I'll be booking it up again for next year, similar time. Just hope my form continues for the Open at Hankley Common next Tuesday.....

Anyone would think Smiffys bought a new camera or something

Murp, are you standing on a box or are your playing partners smaller than Leftie?
