[2blue]

Are Hedgehog wheels needed??

Are Hedgehog wheels needed??

No - any old trolley or buggy allowed.

Not sure my powder puff ball striking is entirely suited to playing off the whites, but I'm looking forward to it regardless. Let's hope the rain holds off until the afternoon.

 

[Region3]

I take it back. Worst ball striking round in ages today.

Can we play from the reds?

 

[Evesdad]

If I olay like the first nine it's mine for the taking! If I play like the back nine I'll struggle to make double figures!!

 

[Captainron]

I'm sorry to say that I won't be over lads. D&V has struck the household and there simply aren't enough WC's on any course to cope

 

[Fish]

The Eagle has landed.

Thanks for arranging Rosecott, throughly enjoyable (if a bit wet towards the end) day. Also nice to meet some forumers. Great to see how Region3 plays golf. And how much Fish swears. Potty mouth.

 

[SugarPenguin]

Shame I couldnt make it. I shall look to get involved more with some forum golf in the future.

Did Gary win and qualify for Hillside?

Yep Fish has a potty mouth lol (albeit mines prob worse)

 

[Region3]

Did Gary win and qualify for Hillside

Not even close!

I'm sure captain bump and run will be on later to fill in the details, but I think I was 4th with 28pts. Could have been a few more with a little more mental fortitude in the very difficult conditions, but I was never getting near the winner.

I played a few shots like a golfer, but sadly not enough.

Was great meeting up with everyone, and we had fun even though it wasn't fun, if that makes sense.

Thanks again for organising and the great deal you got us Jim. Good luck at Hillside

 

[full_throttle]

well that was cold. I finished a bit closer to the bottom of the list than I had hoped.

thanks to Rosecott for organising, and thanks to my playing partners for the day fenwayrich, mexxicimark and ruff_driver

i'll let the winner tell you who he is,

I'm too busy watching the footie.

 

[ruff-driver]

Well i'm about defrosted :angry:
Next time can we do june -july

Tough going out there so well done to the winners, whoever it may be.
Nice to meet you guys even if it was a tad brief . sorry i had to bolt early

Roll on summer :thup:

 

[Fish]

Great Sunday walk in the presence of good company, as for the golf, what golf!

I've been used to 3.5hr rounds since moving club, if I didn't choose to lay up just to keep swinging to keep warm I think the front 9 could have taken that long!

Not my day in tough conditions, another £10 winging its way to Val fir the next qualifier.

Great job James, thank you for arranging it, nice to have shared the course with you & Richard.

As for me swearing, pmsl.

 

[rosecott]

Jim... I'm hoping to get Alwoodley for our Yorks v NE match in Sept/Oct.... so there may be a chance to be a plastic Tyke for the day :thup: They say Turkey's not that bad, yer narse

My late wife was born in Sheffield - does that count?

 

[Evesdad]

Thank you for organising Jim, next time can you organise the weather too! Great day out and good to put faces to names. Unfortunately I left my sombrero at home but at least the last few holes I got some shots away!

 

[fundy]

Any danger of you telling us who won or is it a trade secret?

I've already said I'm busy watching the footie - there is life away from golf (only joking there).

 

[fenwayrich]

Don't think I have ever been so cold on a golf course, certainly since I started playing again. And that was before the freezing rain set in.

Thanks to mexicomark, ruffdriver and fullthrottle for your company, I think we all suffered equally! And thanks to Jim for organising. Well done to the winner, whoever he is!
