Galvin Green Test Opportunity

Well, after going out solo this morning, the heavens finally burst n my way to the 17th tee, and I mean burst! Had been sweating all round prior as it was quite humid......So, imagine my delight after having stripped down and got my wet gear off to open my emails to find I'd been selected! Joy of joys! Can't wait and really looking forward to the testing (I've never worn GG stuff) and not to mention playing Hillside. :whoo::cheers:

Nice one Matt.. You could have done with a set of Galvins when we played at my gaff the other week...:thup:
 
We must be in the lucky town Odvan.....

I got a call on my way home today asking if I had been able to check my emails. GM thank you for lett ing me dress in bright clothes look great but make an ass of myself on the course with my playing ability. Lol

I just hope I have half a game, it would be shame to play badly on such opportunity.

Btw where you play odvan

Congrats Steve, look forward to meeting you. I'm a recent member of the Lee Park massive...what about you?

Oh well another tester offer missed out on,now wers that number for durex sure they where looking for some testers :p

Well done Matt hope you get better weather than last time we were there could have given the windstopper a proper testing :D:thup:

if the Durex testing was with 'something' as similar as Hillside is for testing the gear then that'd be one hell of a dilemma!

Think its summer stuff Danny but round your place that happens about twice a year? The sun can't get through the smog... but the wind stopper will deffo come in handy up on t'hills!

At the minute a member at Eccleston Park near rainhill. I hope your not one of these forummers that can out drive Joe Miller down the middle every tee shot. Lol.

Be good to meet another wool and have a knock

Thanks for the kind words folks, cant wait to try Hillside. Hope the rough isnt as brutal as it sounds from some of the feedback I've read online.

ODVAN you've played it before what was it like

It's actually worse!!

Sorry to disappoint you Steve :ears:
 
Stu: Would you class it as a long course? Compared to Formby or if you have played Sherdley or Eccleston Park?

Joking aside, it's a long, tough, tight course.

If the winds up then it plays very long.

Because the rough is high and thick (in preparation for open qualifier at the end of this month) it becomes very tight.

My advice would be to just enjoy it and keep it on the fairway.

I really do hope the weather is kind.
 
How did you slip under the radar??

Welcome aboard:cheers:

have you been in hibernation since The King if Kings or sommat. If not, me and podge hope you go into hibernation for about 6 hours on Friday morning :whistle:.

Steve, when we played it every hole bar about 5 where long...ever used a driver on a par 3? Even without the wind on the back nine there's a couple of big par 4's (we played off whites I think) and the Par 5 is a Par 6 for sure. Guess the whole idea of the day is to get some indifferent weather anyway to sample the windcheaters. Beautiful course and get ready to be wowed when you walk up onto the 11th tee and look down the fairway, fantastic, fantastic view.

And yes, the rough is brutal!
 
I'm writing to GG to say you still havent got an official handicap - surely their target market isn't occasional, societal weekend warriors with more money than sense?

Congrats, fella.:thup:
