Not 100% sure about the kitchen that early, best grab something at the BP station a few hundred yards away on the A45 island, they've got a Wild Bean Cafe in there and its an M&S also, we've got a decent coffee machine in the Pro shop, only £1 for a large choice of drinks but I forgot to ask what time the kitchen opens.

Well I have just arrived
Thanks to GB72 (Greg), Crow (Nick) & La_Lucha (Richard) for coming to Coventry, my new home today, what great weather we had and once we got rid of the 2-ball that followed us the front 9, we had the course to ourselves.
We threw the balls up and I was partnered with GB72, we had a matchplay comp and also scored our own stableford points also.
As it seems for some reason its taking me a couple of holes to settle down and stop pulling all my shots left
but then I'm fine not dropping any points and picking up those I've lost early doors for a front 9 of 18 points with 1 blob and I think we were all square in the matchplay.
I was scrambling a little but Greg and I were dovetailing well both enjoying highs & lows with some holes but then I put some nice pars together to add a few 3's & 4's to my card
Coming off the 16th I had a tidy card but then messed up on my drive to the 17th par 3, recovered well to put it on the green and had 2 stabs at winning the match with it being a dormy 2 but 3-putted
So off to the 18th dormy 1.
I put my drive mahoosive right over the 17th tee blocks and down a bank, hit a tree trying to get back 1st time then found the fairway with my 2nd attempt (3rd shot), hit a wedge to the edge of the green, chipped on but a 2-putt was too many, all was not lost though as Greg stepped up to the plate for a par to win the match :whoo:
I finished with 36 points (2 blobs) along with Richard (La_Lucha), not sure about the other guys points, think Nick said he played to 20 according to the SSS, at least he knows where all the bunkers are now when he returns on Friday :smirk:
Hope you all enjoyed the course and the day, it was a pleasure to have your company at my new found home, thank you for coming :thup:

Thanks for hosting a fun round. Sadly my lack of golf showed at times and I suspect my old putter may be back in the bag soon but it was great fun. Happy just to get round with the same ball

Thanks Robin for hosting and thanks also to Greg and Richard, a very enjoyable round despite my car crash golf.
25 points won't get me to Hillside on Friday, but at least I'm now familiar with the location of many of the bunkers, trees and ditches so hopefully I might score a little better on Friday, anything in the thirties would feel like an achievement at the moment.

I just want to echo the other guys sentiments, I had a cracking day on a cracking course, with cracking company. I think we all played some great golf and we all played some rubbish at times.
El Hombre Pescado definitely needs a chop, some of the golf that chap plays is outstanding for someone of that handicap.
Nick, we all know you were just checking the hazards in preparation for Friday. I'm sure you'll have a cracker and march straight into Hillside.
Greg, I wish I could have a layoff and play as well as you did. In fact I just wish I could play as well as you did. That hybrid you faded over the trees on the 12th(I think?) was outstanding.
Thanks for accepting me at the last minute guys, and I look forwards to next time.

Found floating upside down in the pond were they? Thought you'd take no prisoners.

As the four of us all used the Zero friction glove how did you guys rate them? For me it was quite comfortable to wear and I did find the tee holder facility of use throughout the round. It did seem a little large on the index finger though as El Hombre Pescado mentioned on the ZF Glove Thread.

Still stiff, yet trying to swing hard? It's an age thing!
I love mine and can see me sticking with them and I'm going to try the cabretta one also.
