8.30 ish for me too, looking forward to a meet & greet :thup:

I've been very careful to make sure the natives here don't find out how far GM forummers hit the ball. They won't know what's hit them - on second thoughts they probably will.
 
Looking forward to this. I'll be there around 8:30.

I've played with all in the last group but no one else so it will be nice to meet more new faces.

I just hope I remember enough about the course to be helpful to the others! Just don't ask me for a line off the third. :eek:

Only if they are on an adjacent fairway perhaps? I haven't met any of you, so I'm looking forward to meeting up. Aiming to get there around 8.30.

Right guys, just about a week to go. Region3 will lead the way as he has played the course a few times. I'll bring up the rear and also keep an eye on the middle group. I am hoping that Pippo_T will make it to complete the twelve - he has said he wants to be there but he may have a problem. I thought it might add a bit of interest for those not playing it as a qualifier if we lob in a couple of quid with £10 for the best overall score and £7 (6 if Pippo_T doesn't make it) for best front 9 and best back 9 - I'm sure you will all be happy for Hacker Khan to play off his dodgy 22 handicap. If we meet in the spike bar, I'll relieve you of £12. I hope to have the course back to its full length as we have had to shorten holes 4 and 13 while construction work was going on off to the left of the fairway - they did work one Sunday but I don't think they will next Sunday. Look forward to meeting you all and putting faces to forum posters.

Group 1 at 9.27
Region 3, Hacker Khan, 2Blue, 2Blue’s mate

Group 2 at 9.36
Fenwayrich, ruff-driver, mexicomark, Pippo_T (if playing)

Group 3 at 9.45
Rosecott, Captainron, Evesdad, Fish

At the moment I am going through a series of lessons that has up to yet changed my stance, posture, grip (interlocking to overlapping) and just about every aspect of my swing. Before this I was erratic to say the least, capable of very occasionally shooting in the 80s to well over 100s. So I have absolutely no idea what I will shoot now as this will be the first proper round of golf I have played since I started trying to embed the changes.

I know it's a bit of fun anyway as I'm not in the comp proper, so to make the maths easier if nothing else I'm happy to play off 18. And if these changes suddenly change me into Rory (yea right) then I apologise in advance. And if they turn me into a even bigger hacker as I stand over the ball and revert to a messy mash up of my poor old technique and not yet embedded new one, as I suspect is much more likely, then I'll take it on the chin.;)

See you all there.

shame I have just seen this. I would have been well up for attending and meeting some new faces since I am pretty new around here!

The situation is:

Pippo_T originally put his name down to play this as a qualifier but is now not sure if he can make it. He has indicated that he will be happy to stand down if someone else comes along who wants to play as a qualifier. If you wanted to enter as a qualifier for Hillside, you would need to get £10 to Val and I could then fit you in at 9.36 which would cost you another £12. If you want to play but not as a qualifier, I'd give Pippo_T another couple of days to see if he can make it before I slot you in.

So, there you are. Commit yourself as a qualifier now and you're in. No commitment and you could be in in a couple of days as a non-qualifier.

Excellent. Thanks for the reply Rosecott.
Can you please just confirm the date and venue as it seems to have changed throughout the thread?
Cheers

Fenwayrich sorted you out with the date while I was out. What kind of handicap is "14 - 17"? I'd like one of those, 14 when you're feeling confident, 17 when not so good.
 
Unfortunately I cannot make the 22nd as I am already playing. Definitely will make the next one in our area if another one is created.

@Rosecott - Well wouldnt we all ! Basically my society make me play off 14 but my official handicap is 17. No club at the moment so its probably just a little in bandit country if I play off 17 and all goes well.

Looking forward to this, think I've only met & played with 3 of the 12 so always good to put more ugly mushes to forum names. I'm looking to be there around 08.30.

I thought you had moved clubs. Are you pulling a flanker with a handicap at two different clubs so you can choose which one to use at the right time?

I am assuming this is aimed at me.
Not really. I am not a member at a current club but I have checked my official handicap on Englandgolf.org and it is 17.
However within my society, where we travel to clubs in South Yorkshire, they make me play off an unofficial handicap of 14. Hope that makes sense. If I was entered into the qualifier I would play off 14 unless it had to be my official handicap, which is 17.

No, not at all. Fish keeps telling us he's moved clubs but his sig still shows his old club - Coventry - so I was gently pulling his chain.

Must be an age thing, my new club is Coventry Golf Club. My old club was, and still is until 31st March, North Warwickshire, the handicaps are obviously the same, although I'm not listed at Coventry yet as my handicap transfer is still in transition.

Anything else.....:ears:
