• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Could you confirm your Cooden attendance please?

I will put in a request Chris but unfortunately you only have an hours break and there is quite a queue forming already.

Alright Rob, I have one from the greenkeeper with the huge rough hands like l did last year - he's a real brute!
 
Yeah, must admit it is a bit of a laugh, especially if you have shot 42 points and get grouped with an 18 and a 22 pointer.....
:mad:


What about if you have 18 points and get paired with a couple of 50's :whoo:.

Let's face it, that's the only "win" some will ever get! :whistle:

Just checked on "MetCheck" and "Accuweather" and forecast looking good(ish) for Friday. Sunshine, little wind, with the odd chance of a light shower. Ideal.

Have another look, heavy rain all afternoon now forecast! Best get me wetsuit out!
 
Forecast constantly changing but now seems it will be heavy rain from 1pm onwards rain.gif

At least I'll get to test out my new Galvin Green outfit that I'm a test pilot for and right my review, although I'd rather not :(
 
Accuweather giving a "few" light afternoon showers.
If we get a lightning show like last year, that will be a bonus!
I think we'll be okay
;)


Met Office forecast saying steady/heavy rain from late morning to evening.
We'll be as okay as drowned rats! :whistle:

So long as theres no lightning. Otherwise we could have some crispy, fried rats!! :p
 
Two hours later and it's now down to light rain on the Met Office site!

Smiffy - you doin' some sort of weather dance there or somethin'?
I now believe your weather predictions and think we'll be ok with just the odd shower. :thup:

Arrange the lightning show for later on too, there a good chap!
 
Hmmm, I don't think we should get into a debate about the pros and cons of Bexhill V Eastbourne. they'll only be one winner!

Bexhill for me, as you get closer to Eastbourne the smell of bleach from purple perms gets stronger & stronger, since my 1st trip to Cooden we have holidayed in the area every year, I would never consider Eastbourne, we went there for the day once and left after a couple of hours :smirk:
 
do I...do I...??? well yes why not - Airbourne, 5 golf courses, 3 theatres, Yummy Noodle bar, Bills, 2 cinemas, easier train journey to London, the Grand, the beach, the Pier (sort of!), Extreme Festival, the Marina, beer festival, the bandstand, the architecture, the Downs, Beachy Head, the beach cafes, Polegate Fish & Chip Shop, Qualisea fish & chip shop. Right Bexhill...erm...erm...?

Airbourne is good, as is the Yummy. Love it and always visit when I'm over that way.
But 5 golf courses?
Tell me more.
Don't tell me your including the 9 holer down Lottbridge drove in that lot?
Or Willingdon. That's not in Eastbourne.
The only two I know "in" Eastbourne are the Downs and the Royal.
One is okay, the other isn't worth the bother
;)
