Its a 2 hour drive for me, won't be heading up for the breaky meet up. (Shame, but I've had cooked breakfast for the last 6 weeks so missing one might be for the best!)
See you all bright and most definitely breezy.

See you there, fella.

All the proper golfers are going to bed anytime now......

Just had a takeaway and a couple of beers.

Athlete :rofl:

Driving early doors or I'd be getting really stuck into the beers, got the taste for it. Typical!

 

[Liverbirdie]

I've had:-

The foie gras, please.

Bouef wellington and dauphinoise potatoes.

Croquembouche for desert

washed down with.........


Um Bongo













Sorry, stolen from little Britain.

BTW the tee times have been changed round tomorrow, I'm now out at 10.22, as I've freeze-framed the weather forecast on BBC and it should be dry for me about then. I havent used that facility so much since I saw Sharon Stone in a "thriller".

Wolf of Wall Street finishes at 1:30am...

Peter according to website 16th is on a temp, might want to select another nearest the pin.

Give that man a prize :thup:

We romped it I think, although we did have the second and third best individual scores. Don't know the scores really, great format though.

I've just realised if I'd parred the last I would have won the individual aswell rather than take 6 from 60 yards short of the green!!!! :whoo:

Great day, weather was shocking to start with but ended in sunshine.

Loved the course, great variety of holes and a magnificent setting. Great place to play golf.

I scabbed it round really, didn't play very well but putted nicely for 33 points.

Andy should be ashamed at taking 9 shots

Had a good matchplay game in our group aswell.

Enjoyable day, I'm wiped now though. Chinese and a couple of beers well earned.

Cheers to Pedro for organising and the Scots lads for making the trip :thup:

Great day on a really great course (much better than Hillside ). Nice to sneak over the line when I never thought I'd be close. Cheers to Iain, Val and Kenny for the game and Liverbidie for pulling it together.

Better than Hillside??

I preferred it to Hillside, where are you on the debate!?

Not much in it, both blinding tracks but if I was offered a round at either tomorrow I'd go to Formby

Pretty much the same. I just think Formby is a bit easier on the eye and more enjoyable. Hillside always beats me up.

Something a bit special about pulling on the car park at Formby, I just know I'm going to have a good day. Even playing the ladies course.

 

[Lump]

Course was not what I expected, didn't have much of a links feel, which is what I thought it would be.
Had a great round playing with Anne, her better half Simon and their guest Dave.
Putter was stone cold for the first 7-8 holes, finally started getting a feel for the greens after that and started to roll some close.
The course is really very nice, greens not amazing at this time of year but still rolled fairly true. Some very tight tee shots to blind landing spots and sneakily hidden greens.

Only one if us bothered to turn out today Danny. Still, if points were scored for dishing out expletives and demoralising 'bantz' we'd have romped it.

I can enter this debate now having never played Formby before and Hillside twice. In fact, we fanned the flames as soon as we got back into the club house. Must have upset him as he nicked all our butties . I agree with Iain, as did my retarded partner for the day. Formby over Hillside, just...

Paul, Kenny - hope the journey back was a good one. It was good to have two normal people with me so cheers to Dave as well. Match wasn't exactly worth rushing back for though eh lads:rofl:
