Delamere Forest

Thanks to Dave and Peter for the game yesterday at Delamere really enjoyed it and I didn't play to badly considering I was up at 04:15 nice to meet up again with the rest of the chaps, Peter had a really good card going until the last couple of holes, boy can He hit a driver of the tee,
Well done to Scott for taking the money again think he needs a H/C cut!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Wow! What a course! Absolutely stunning. Ok, the green were a bit slow, but it is definately one of the nicest courses I have ever played. Really interesting holes, lots of elevated and sunken tee's and rolling fairways. With the wind, it makes clubbing pretty difficult. Great organisation from qwerty getting this one sorted. Birchy rolled away with the honours, but big up to Danny for Eagling the par 5 for a 3 for 2 for 5.... Had a top round with Danny and Greg, who also hit some monster drives! Must have been pushing 400 yards b forum standards ;)
 
What a great course layout, one of the best ive ever played without doubt. Greens were a tad slow but still pretty decent, i just couldnt get the ball to the hole and left a few looking into the cup :eek: . It was pretty windy out there as well which did make club selection a bit harder. I hit driver on a par 3 stroke index 18!! :D

We definately need to go back there again in the not too distant future :thup:

Thanks for the game Andy, was a pleasure as always.
 
Thanks for the game yesterday Fellas, good to to see that normal service was resumed with Birchy taking the top spot :thup:
Karl, you didn't tell who won nearest the pin.....You did well there mate to beat LBs effort, I though his shot was definately taking the cash.
LB played very well,Graham also played some good stuff and the less said about me the better, Still really enjoyed it though, it's hard not to on that course.

Im up for Another knock there whenever it suits everyone:thup:

Was a great shot mate..:thup:

What can I say about the course? It was nothing short of fantastic to look at. Comfortably in the top 5 of courses that I've played. The condition was fantastic, though the greens were a bit slow.

If I had to really pick a fault, I'd say that the par 5's were a bit short. The wind was a real leveller as well. Hitting an 8 iron from 160 and airmailing the flag by 30 yards was a bit frustrating. It's also a bit annoying to nail a drive 350 yards, then take another 5 to make the last 75 yards...

Count me in for next time we play there. For £30, it's a steal....
 
How great is it when you know your ball is in a nasty looking bunker only to walk over and find a G.U.R sign in there :D

I got lucky quite a lot last night despite seeing more sand than the Donkeys on Blackpool Beach!

Too true mate. I think I took 3 or 4 drops from bunkers. I still managed to hit a couple in play though!!!
 
So Birchy took the cash eh................again :rofl:

Sounds like a good day out and a course I do fancy, if sorting it again then a Thursday is good for me normally and a week or 2 notice would be spot on.

I will go for a Thursday as well... May even manage to take the haggis :whistle:
 
Thanks Dave for organising this one and well done to my little Mexican friend Scott for taking the spoils. I was very impressed with your game mate, very straight off the tee and you were always on or around the dancefloor in the right amount of shots......very solid indeed!!! Thanks for the game, great fun (despite the hectic start) and great company as always .

The course has hidden gem written all over it and for 30 sheets (albeit twilight) you feel like your mugging them. One to play again before the Summer is over for sure !!

Me and Andy went in our fair share of bunkers and guess how many were GUR? Yep, none :rofl:

Walking up to it praying for a GUR sign didnt work once :rolleyes:

Cheers mate it was a nice evening knock after the hectic arrival and we settled into it after the first couple of holes :D. Watching you bombing it down the middle with that easy swing should help anybody relax :thup: You would of ripped that course a new one if you had brought your putting game.

Been a bit edgy after a couple of real bad rounds but the last two outings at Pleasington and last night seem to have sorted me out and got me a bit of confidence back thank god. Its worrying when you cant hit anything but a 20 yard chomp :eek:
