Final confirmation for Chart Hills 10th September.......

[chrisd]

Great day, thanks to everybody for attending.
Course was in great shape, especially the greens.
Didn't play too well, my driving was all over the place, I think I only hit 5 fairways....finished with 28 points.
A hard day at the office.
Thanks to Sandy for organising. I'm bloody knackered this morning. So unfit it's untrue.

Well get golfing properly again, sitting on a damp river bank dangling your worm in the water isn't going to keep you fit!

Many thanks for helping sort yesterday though!

Problem is Chris, I am losing so much "muscle mass" on my legs. They were never massive, but they are getting like matchsticks now. Silly thing is, I'm not losing weight. Can't understand it.

I'm similar, lost over a stone by careful diet since Xmas but the legs are weak and I have played loads of golf , so walked miles.

Serious question Chris...is it age related??? I am getting a little worried about it now. Sam seems to think it's because I am not playing so much golf. I dunno. It is getting really noticeable.

Many thanks to Sandy for organising, my guest Peter and I really enjoyed the course and would be up for playing there again next year.

Thanks also to our playing partners Rob & Chris - Chris, how did you get that shot on 17 to not go in the water?

Smiffy, get out there walking and the muscles will return

Extra special coating of spin juice applied that morning, good for stopping the ball in very short grass

Worked really well on that hill that took me "a few" attempts to get up if you remember :thup:

I'll get my name down for Chart Hills 2014, I'm desperate to play the course (walked around it when it hosted the Women British Open in about '96!) and gutted that the date (and finances) threatened to fall at the wrong moment!

I have felt weaker since my diet but having a chat with a medical mate he says that you do lose strength too with a diet and you will regain it with exercise. Having hip replacements hasn't helped either. I think in your case is the fact you play much less and you quickly lose the fitness that goes with two/three games a week.

Roger didn't seem to struggle at all yesterday and he's a fair bit older than me (and you) but does play a lot of golf

You're only lighter as your hips are carbon fibre not because you've lost fat.

Ive lost a large amount of ugly fat - I havnt played with you lately!

Could it be because my fishing rods are carbon fibre then???

The more I read this forum the less I'm looking forward to retirement.....man up chaps!

 

[wookie]

Wow, that was worth the drive home!.

Poor performance! Gave it away too many times to count but at least they held out

I remember very well but was not going to mention it

What was it, one chip and three putts before you managed to get it to the green?

To all that played at Chart Hills, just wanted to say a huge thanks for the HFH donation...adding on gift aid it came to £71.25... :thup:

Also many thanks Sandy for sorting out the 4 ball voucher...should get some good bids on that one... :clap:

I'm going to try and make this meet next year.

 

[Leftie]

Thanks for the reminder Rick. I hadn't forgotton, honest

Would someone like to do a write up of this for the magazine? That and a few photos would be most welcome. Please PM to let me know.

Cheers

 

[swanny32]

I didn't see a camera all day, not sure there are pictures out there, tiger.

 

[Sandy]

Can do a write up and use some general photos of Chart. We were all concentrating far too hard on our golf to think about photos (translation - forgot, sorry!) Let me see what images I can come up with, not exactly stock shots but something that sums up desperation and deep bunkers...sound alright?
