For those of you who are attending the above meeting for the first time and don't know who's who, just head for the organiser. You won't miss him

Back from Cooden - forgot my SkyCaddie, played like a tool, nuff said.

The company was exquisite and I got to watch a lot of nice shots
 
Come on we need more info. Smiffy in white trousers? rick in a riot of colour, Viscount in ?????

Who won?

The girls, sorry boys, looked like a packet of Opal Fruits.

Which of RickG's clothes do you want to know about? Morning, afternoon or swimwear?

Smiffy was in neutral attire as his whites hadn't turned up .....and Murphthemog came as Barbie

Viscount played in his 'jim-jams' as he's staying over at Smiffy's tonight

Pics will follow, someone took some snaps.
 
Just got in. Really nice day. Don't think I have crippled myself, but will find out tomorrow. Played ok considering, but my par 3 scores were pathetic. Thanks to Golfmmad and P1pete for the company. Sorry about my 'team' contribution.

1 1/2 hours to get home, so not bad travelling.

What's wrong with Barbie?
 
Likewise, just got in 1 1/2 hours to get home. Thanks to Smiffy for arranging a great day out out , and golfmad and murph for the great company....played like a tool on the front 9 but 19 points on the back rescued some respectability, am putting front 9 down to murph's choice of attire, bit like snow blindness but pink!!! :D :D
 
Big thanks to Smiffy for again organising another great day out and thanks to RichardC and Chris for their company.

I'll try to get the piccies sorted tomorrow. Nor sure if I really want to look at some of the colour clashes tonight. :D
 
Another great day, organised by Smiffy, thanks Rob. :)

Really enjoyed going round with Murphthemog and PiPete,despite not winning anything - two great forum blokes :o :D

Star attractions of the day:

RickG - morning outfit, bright green trousers white top.
afternoon, bright red trousers white top.

Murphthemog - cerise pink trousers white top with coordinating purple and white shoes, topped off with striking purple visor.

Viscount - brown and black deckchair style striped trousers, somewhat subdued for the Forum style guru. :eek:

Smiffy - well it's Smiffy innit. :D

Cracking day and look forward to next year.

Golfmmad.
 
Did anyone have any time left over to play any golf ?

I played with Pieman and Bratty (from Golf Magic) both played really nice golf. Bratty came in with an awesome 41pts and Pieman had 37pts which included shooting 2 under on the back 9. We had a right laugh....

Shot of the day was Pieman holing out of the bunker at par5 15th, for eagle.

I played like a knob! Can't hardly move today I've got a thorn in my finger that I can't get out (I've tried) and had my wrist strapped all night, playing Hollingbury in a couple of hours... in the rain so it seems - anything could happen.
 
Cracking day on a great course.

Thanks to Smiffy for organising, and many thanks to Leftie and Chris for such an enjoyable two rounds.

James did the young waitress get to strap you down and feed you???? :D :D :D
 
Had a great day, course in great condition and the weather was about as good as it gets at Cooden. Bit "breezy" but I did warn everybody that even on a flat calm day it can get like that... :D :D

Big thanks to everybody who attended and made it the success it was, especially those that travelled quite a distance to get there.

Had an enjoyable day in the company of Steve (Viscount17) and Preet (LIG from the Golf Magic site) but despite using a buggie for the 36 holes I ache all over.
Didn't play too badly, we really gelled well as a team in the morning round and honestly thought we had won it but were first outdone by Dave (HeronsGhyll) and his team by one point and then by Ray Taylor, VJ Swing and Richards Dad Charlie. Well played.
Individual Stableford in the afternoon didn't bode too well for me as I oinked one into the crap on the left off the first tee (as did my two playing partners...there must have been something in the ham at lunchtime) and I blobbed the hole. I then put a succession of pars together until the bloody 9th (which I blobbed) to give me 16 points out with two N/R's which wasn't too bad I guess, but then my swing totally deserted me on the back 9 and I scrambled my way to 32 points total.
It was won by Alan Bannister with a very good 42 points, 2nd was Bratty (from Golf Magic) with 41 who counted out Ray Taylor courtesy of a better back 9.
Longest drive was won by Pieman (who else stood a chance?) and nearest the pin was won by Colonel Sanders himself, Steve (Viscount 17).
Steve played very well in the morning round, although he blobbed the first three holes. I thought "here we go" but the silly thing was on the SI 1,2 & 3 holes he parred them all to take 12 points off of them! And on the par 5 15th he hit a drive well over 300 yards (Skycaddied) and a wedge to set him up for an eagle. He 3 putted though but still walked off with 3 points.
A great day, great course, and I will book it up again for next year at a similar date.
Rob

PS My white trousers were delivered yesterday and were waiting at work for me today. May well wear them on Thursday at Richmond, but they are a bit .......bright!!
