I'm bringing several spare SW's... I've heard the bunkers can be quite frustrating :rofl:

Any idea where I can view a scorecard with the tees we will be playing off tomorrow?

No idea on the scorecard but it may be one the website, most of the tees are around the yellow markers and some are forward by around 20 yards, doesn't make it any easier tho 😱

No mate. The computers are offline until the new shop is up and running but have the handicap secs number so he can fax them in the EXTREME chance we put a good score together

Don't even worry about it, it's not the open however we will chase you out of Woodhall

When we both shoot 100+ you will see our HCPs are official :rofl:

Just a little heads up incase the scenario does arise...

I've been suffering with pain in my right arm when playing golf for a few weeks now, not sure if its tennis elbow or not but my arm basically has a throbbing pain from the elbow area which shoots up both my upper and lower arm and gives the sensation of a dead arm. I lift weights in the gym 4 days a week and there are no problems with it but as soon as I start swinging a club it flares up. I played 18 last weekend and the problem was there but it eased off after 8 or 9 holes. My concern is the range session I had today where I only ended up hitting around 20 balls due to the problem.

So this isn't me pulling out but I am giving you all a pre warning that if it does cause me problems mid round tomorrow then I may have to pull out of the comp, either way I will be walking 18 holes.

I'm hoping it will ease off again after a few holes and the problem will not be as bad as today where I was hitting balls in quicker succession.

Anyway I'm looking forward to playing the course as I have heard great things about it :thup:

Wish I'd thought about getting the excuses in early! 😜

Finally home after a loverly 2 hour drive with it pelting down...

Thanks to Glynn for organising the day and it was great to meet some of the forum folk :thup:

Apart from a few very good shots and a birdie on the S1 I played pretty crap and pulled 90% of my approach shots into the... well can we call them bunkers :rofl:

I officially got bunkered :angry:

PS... Sorry to Roscott for nearly taking his noggin off with my drive after being waved down to play our tee shots although he was in the firing line lol

Ok so today we had the final qualifier and we now have a winner.

The scores over the 3 dates were a real surprise as I think some found the course hard to score on. As it happens I save my best golf for today and if today could have been my qualifier I would have won :ears: the look on captainron's face when I had a 2 on the 5th then just missed another 2 on the 8th then on the 12th I put it to 4ft and holed that for another 2

Well done to chefio Who is the east mids champion :clap:

2nd was tyke
3rd was 2blue

Hope everyone enjoyed the day today and thanks to captainron for doing the right thing and NR on the 8th as he was doing very nicely with his made up 20 handicap :rofl:, pleasure to watch pbrown7582 on the front 9 shame he couldn't hole a putt as he had a few birdie putts just sail by the hole the condition today were definitely the hardest of the 3 qualifiers with the wind and the back 9 was playing very tough.

Pictures to follow when I learn how to do it.

Thanks again to Lincoln Quaker for superb organisation and to my 3 playing companions. Thoroughly enjoyed the day despite using up my handicap allowance on the first 6 holes - they were all bunker shots. Having got that out of my system, I was relatively happy with the rest of the round. Amazing how the organiser kept a straight face as he looked at the score cards as they were handed in.

 

[virtuocity]

Well done everyone and huge thanks to Lincoln Quaker. You have all done the forum and the competition proud.

Look forward to seeing the pics.

 

[Evesdad]

Another thanks to Glynn for arranging as it couldn't have been easy. Thanks to jim and mark for not laughing at me through the first hole! Great course in great condition especially with the weather we've had. Great day out even though I think I left my game at home today! I can play a lot better honest!

Congrats to chiefio hope you do use proud in the final!

 

[mexicomark]

Well done Glynn for organising, including the weather. Fantastic course in very good condition. Even though a few of the tees were up, with the wind it was a real test especially the back 9, which we won't discuss at length!

Most pleasing aspect of the day... Went in three bunkers - out of each first time.

 

[2blue]

Congrates to Josh, well done fella, & I repeat the THANKS to Glynn for hosting us all, a real gent. My travelling mate mate Mark, from Alwoodley, rates Spa as 'the best course he's ever played'...... so would love to return in Summer conditions ... so you could be getting a call Glynn

 

[pbrown7582]

Thanks to Lincoln Quaker Captainron (20 h/cap ... :rofl: stewards enquiry needed) and Steve for there great company it was a pleasure to play the course with such good company. :thup:
Glynn put on a great well organised qualifier at a fantastic course which is in very good nick too, great work and many thanks for your efforts.
Good luck Cheifio @ Hillside,
