Davyhulme park order of merit

[Qwerty]

Well played mate... I really liked the greens there" they were great in may/June! Gutted I can't make the final! Hopefully fly up the M62 and make the presentations and a beer afterwards!

Thanks Karl. Shame you and Andy can't make it next week but good luck in your match on sat'. Hopefully see you later in the day for a beer :thup:

Birchy has been relegated to the chimps group, welcome on board.

Well done Podgster, knew you'd have a good one in there somewhere. The bookies have gone apoplectic. Will we now crown a Lee park winner, on there home patch? Will the Greater Manchester mafia head back down the M62 with their head in their hands twice in a week (sorry Karl and Andy).

This has now made it veeery interesting and nice to see it will go down right to the wire. I may even try to get the other groups out earlier (if available), so we might be able to about turn and see them finish 17 and 18, in front of the assembled crowds.

This is going to go down to the wire, baby.

BTW whilst we are here, does everyone want to know what the prize money is? Since the original 24 names were mooted, some people we have never been heard of since, and some had to drop out for various reasons.

That said, and very kindly, Fish, Bluewolf, Yerman, NWJocko, Tankie John still told me to leave their entry fee in the pot.
Prizes will be paid down to 4th place overall.

I'm going to PM Peterlav, but if anyone has his moby number, send him a text, advising that the final day is Saturday, and give him my moby/e-mail address so I can speak to him tomorrow.

Who can play in the rain, it may come down to that.........

 

[Birchy]

Bring on the rain :thup:

Im gonna need 40 minimum i reckon, so bring your best course guide skills Pete

 

[Qwerty]

Well played Steve.:thup:
This definately spices things up, especially with the weather thats forecast as well. Roll on Saturday!

Oh, and welcome to the Chompers (am I allowed to say that) group Birchy!!

 

[Birchy]

What happens if it is a tie? Playoff? :fore:

Hazards and OOB only, otherwise it would unfair on the rest of the field.........

Did I sound convincing?

I think I can probably finish between 6th and 8th overall, unless someone has a mare in the rain. It is also due 16 MPH wind.

Maybe a low handicapper, who can play in wind and rain, may come out of the chasing pack.......especially one who now has an extra shot. Just gone up to 6.5, so get an extra shot off 7/8th's.

Anyone else want to predict where they'll finish?

 

[Qwerty]

I vote Scissor Paper Stone on the 18th! :thup:

 

[Liverbirdie]

3 hole playoff, still stableford? Captains vote please. What about if Junior was one of them, unfair on him if it is. Thoughts by e-mail please.

I've just realised, if we go out in 3's, I'm in the chumps group.

My vote goes to naked mud wrestling in the greenside 18th bunker.................................. unless it's Louise in which case she can have it

LB, do HCs not stay the same as what you started with, thought I read that somewhere therefore meaning your shots don't increase???????

Going to bed a happy man after tonight. Birchy, thanks for great company (as expected from a cool guy) and allowing me to keep playing even though it was close to getting the head torches out.

Also to save messing LB around I am more than happy for the groups to stay the same as advertised!!!!

 

[Qwerty]

l just hope I can post a reasonable score and see where it takes me. I think the scores coming in will be a real mixed bag especially with the weather but I'll predict 1 or 2 of the last group having a steady round and winning. I think patience, a steady round and a cool head will win on the day nothing spectacular required.

What did you expect mate? Play like a chump, get treated like a ............

No mate, from memory, your score is played off whatever handicap you are on the day. HDID have posted sunday's comp results so you play off whatever your published handicap is as of today. Don't forget it is 7/8th's though, as well.

The groups will go out in reverse order, as previously mentioned, don't worry Steve. The only thing on the day may be whether 3 or 4 balls. The only slight change we may make, if everyone's ok with it is, we may have a lee parker in each group, so everyone knows the hazards, OOB's and lines of fairway.

 

[Liverbirdie]

I think this thread should now go back to the lee park finals thread, so it is all on there - I'll bump it now.

 

[Birchy]

Anything can happen. The last couple of 2 day comps at Davyhulme have seen nearly everyone in the final "pressure" group melt and fall apart. With the weather adding to that i reckon its wide open.

I reckon anybody down to qwerty could win it. I reckon 2nd or 3rd at best for me, there will probably be at least one too good in front of me.

I just wanna feel involved on that back 9, the buzz when you are in contention is great :thup:

 

[louise_a]

Great scoring Podge, welcome to the top table.

Go on Ice man, Keep turning that screw!! :whoo:

Dont know what your talking about

 

[garyinderry]

great round podge, right in the mix!



I "found" a course guide in the starters office on sunday. there is a few more in there. we should have one for each group. pass it around on the tee so people can see what each hole brings. lee park is pretty straightforward as courses go. you have to turn a couple of corners but there is no real blind shots so to speak.


the weather is going to make this interesting. we have been blessed with glorious weather this last couple of months, now its time to gear up for some fun in the rain. should soften those greens up.


who can hold their nerve ?
